WOF is my hometown amusement park. They really could use some new big rides.

It’s honestly mind boggling why Worlds of Fun can’t get a new coaster. Such an underrated park. Honestly with how much land they have that should be a huge selling point for Cedar Fair. They need some new attention drawn to it

the selling point for WoF is the haunted attractions. I know previous years we topped Knotts scary farm in how good our mazes, zones, and actors are. If you want to see this park shoulder to shoulder packed, come to haunt.

This is my home park. I love it. So many memories. I've been going since I was a teenager and I'm in my 40's.

I've really been wanting to make a quick coaster trip where I fly into KCMO, hop over to WoF, then make the drive down to Silver Dollar City in Branson the next day.

Fun fact, WOF always runs 2 trains on the Mamba. Not sure why but I go once a week during the summer and they always have 2 trains running on it.

There is a lot of space - but there are also caves under and around that area (subtropolis businesses), so they can't have too many more big attractions because it could cause the caves to collapse.

This is my home park

RIP that man's drumstick

BBQ is the best in KC!

Its really fun to vist during the events like haunt or winter wonderland. I almost always visit at night due to how hot it can get here

The worst thing is learning about old rides that you never got to ride. Like the Schussboomer, the Orient Express, the Sceamroller/Extremeroller, the Zambezi Zinger, the Thunderhawk. If you wanna learn more search up “worlds of fun gone but not forgotten” it’s the first one. It has a list of all ride that they had and got rid of.

This is my home park and unfortunately they almost never run 2 cars on any of the rides. And I agree they don’t utilize the space well enough. They haven’t added much since I’ve been going there which has been since about 2010

A REALLY important aspect that got left out is that the park was inspired by "Around the World in 80 Days", so each section of the park is themed after a part of the world. For example, Mamba, Prowler, and Fury of the Nile are in "Africa," Patriot is in "Americana", and Spinning Dragons, Panda Express, and the fake Koi pond you saw are in "The Orient." It adds a lot of fun when you're walking around the park.

Just went to this park a week ago, and what an awesome top three. This was my first trip as an enthusiast and the first coaster I rode was my favorite on the whole Missouri trip. Prowler was such a powerhouse, and very re-rideable.

Well, running one train is better than running no trains! ;)

Just visited WOF for the first time this year. Lots of construction was done on Timberwolf to make it more smooth and they even added a new overbank turn. I am a huge fan of the new ride, I might even say it’s as good as Prowler.

I absolutely LOVE Worlds of Fun! I've been to Worlds of Fun a dozen times! The last time I went to Worlds of Fun I rode the Mamba 20 times in a row! The Mamba and The Patriot are my favorites!

"I'll have more reviews out shortly" We only got a Mamba review :(

Not sure whats worse. Cedar Fair getting one roller coaster a year leaving many of their smaller parks neglected or six flags getting rides to their new parks but copying and pasting cheap attractions everywhere.

Thank you for the review. I will be visiting this park for the first time ever this June and was interested in hearing your review. I also bought the dining plan for my trip. We have only one day and will be going in the park for the rides, not the water park unless we get done real quick.

The mamba was my very first rollercoaster, and I loved it!

Bees also loved the outdoor soda dispensers when I visited Dorney yesterday.

I visited the park with my friends last year. We really enjoyed most of the sites and it was such an amazing experience

Taylor, thought I too would love to see a new coaster here, I don't think it would happen, at least nothing major. They, along with Michigan's Adventure, are the only Cedar Fair parks to get less that 1 million visitors annually. That's not a lot! Valleyfair gets way more visitors than them. They already have the big coasters to attract the GP and a solid enough collection with Prowler, Patriot, and Mamba to the point where Cedar Fair just wouldn't need to add any more large coaster additions here.

With the Zambezi Zinger coming, and the Mamba mid brake being tweaked, it’s made it even better than I remember in the past

I think the reason you didn't think Timber Wolf wasn't too bad was because it's been almost completely retracked by GCI in many sections, and for 2018, GCI will be adding a 70 degree banked turn near the end to replace the double helix. So the ride will be a bit shorter, but I think that'll be a pretty good improvement than that helix.

Congratulations on 1000 videos Taylor!

I have the same top three ... I worked there in the late 70s ... I go with my oldest daughter when I can ... We love coasters 🥰

Visited in 2015 checking off Patriot and Mamba from my list. Didn't visit the water park. Lines were short. I don't think this park gets huge crowds on the dry side. What you said at the end about them needing another major coaster could be said about all 3 step child parks at the bottom of my Cedar Fair list. The parks at the bottom are great, but they are neglected by Cedar Fair when it comes to new attractions. Cedar Point - Soak City Expansion Carowinds - County Fair (4 new flats) Kings Island - Mystic Timbers (GCI) Kings Dominion - Planet Snoopy Expansion Dorney Park - Dodgem (bumper cars) Kaleidoscope (Troika) California's Great America - Vortex Floorless Conversion (Patriot) Knotts Berry Farm - Soak City Expansion, Sol Spin Top Scan, Ghost Town Alive Worlds of Fun - Mustang Runner (Trioka) Falcon's Flight (Huss Condor) Valley Fair - Northstar (Star Flyer) Michigan's Adventure - Half Pint Paradise (Kiddie Water Park) Cedar Fair was supposed to re-do the entrance at all their parks and have a major coaster flying across the front like they did at CP and Carowinds. But this idea has fizzled. Hopefully they get on the RMC bandwagon and put a unique coaster in each park. Six Flags was doing this but they stopped, what a mistake. SFoG, SFA, SFNJ, and SFStl all deserve their RMC. That parody with the boomerang would work here, except you could use cards that say RMC while the others have a Joker on them.

Possibly visiting next year, Dorney is my home park so I’m hopeful for this park!

Worlds of fun use to have water misters everywhere but one year they just went away. So I came up with the theory that WOF took the misters out to attract more guests to the OOF. But it doesn't bother me for I only like the WOF part and it keeps guests away.

I used to work Orient Express. Summer, 83. I miss that ride :)

Yoooo 100th like :) Great video by the way! I may be biased though, because this is my home park.

Elitch Gardens up here in Denver has a place called "Hawg 'N' Sauce". They have Pulled Pork Nachos and they are the bomb! They also give you sweet or spicy bbq sauce to put on it, it's great.

They'll probably add a new coaster sometime after GCI finishes re-tracking the Timber Wolf. I'm eager to see the new entrance, and they're new flat rides for 2017.

Six Flags Great America has the El Nacho, it is a giant nacho stack with beef, melted cheese, and a ton more on it! It is at JBS Barbecue and Sports bar right by Raging Bulls entrance

This park and review reminds me of Dorney Park soooo much I was almost able to relate to this lol. Minus the extra space worlds of fun has

Thank you for this review. I'm going there on a school field trip and I'm looking for rides that are good and an overall review

I work @ Schlitterbahn texas and the Bees also love our refill drink stations..I've learned to know how to deal with them..I just stick my hand out and close my eyes while I'm refilling..lol 😮😂😊

An excellent look at my home park! Thank you!

This is my home park and I love it so much!!

Would love to see a Valleyfair review

Love this park has a lot of potential my favorite coaster is patriot for sure love how smooth it was but prowler and mamba were also outstanding good review.

Taylor, I think you should come to new Hampshire and do reviews of our parks. There's Santa's Village, Story Land, and Canobie Lake Park, just to name a few

make it to Valleyfair someday! it's not that big but we got good rollercoaster. hopefully we get that b&m

i live in kc. they do, on packed days , run multiple cars. they really do need another roller coaster. there isn't usually bees in the coke lol. the food is soooooo good. they usually keep it clean. locals know theyre way everywhere in this park.

We always go there for band! It's so much fun! Our band teacher is the BEST we get the ENTIRE DAY OFF SCHOOL but we legit only spend one hour actually playing. The rest of the day we just do whatever. 😂😂

Great review of my home park. I wish I went on a dead day because it is always crowded when I go. They even had bees in the soda fountains on the closing day! and yes we need a new roller coaster And surprisingly enough, Timber Wolf is my favorite I don't know why I just like it a lot.

I love WOF it's my home park! Also thanks for make this review about the park!

Me and my brothers biggest memory of this park was a carnival worker repeating to people walking by, "Are you having fun at World's of Fun???". Thank god I live closer to Cedar Point now cause this park needed something new BADLY.

World's of fun is my home town amusement park and I go all the time just because I think I'll go on a roller coaster but I wont cause I'm scared

now that i think about it worlds of fun or atleast the surrounding landscape including over by the ameristar and jaegers sit on a massive network of limestone caves that were dug out during kansas citys early years so i wonder if the weight of a bunch of rides plus caves is keeping wof from being amazing and maybe thats why the rides are so spread out

Taylor byee I much appreciate your work and wanted to ask u two question . My first is are u planning on doing to do six flags magic mountain vs cedar point 2017 edition . Also are u planning on doing a six flags magic mountain five year 2.0 plan 2018-2022 if you can answer this question it will make my day .

I think this park will get the next RMC raptor coaster. It'll most likely be a custom layout in my eyes.

I'm buying my 2019 Platinum Pass today so this will definitely be a park on my list.

I happen to work at Schlitterbahn Water Park that is on the Kansas side of Kansas for 4 years. That they did had extra land they where going to do a year round shopping center resort. Now they lost entrance with it. Now it is mostly putting area full of car dealerships. They do have a BBQ Stand that opens on the Weekends that served BBQ Nachos and They focus on the Schlitterbahns in Texas more then the one outside of Texas that is in Kansas City.

With the amount of land this park has they could get a Launched Blitz coaster like cheetah hunt or if they would want to go with something cheaper then a custom premier rides coaster (Long ride version) would be a great fit.

Even the Zoo has maps. Gotta use em. It's been a cpl of decades since I've been at Worlds of Fun. I've been to the Zoo a number of times. I still grab a map. Just an opinion. I enjoyed your video on my hometown Park. And thank you for it. 🌹

They need an rmc ground up woodie with two inversions

my home park and its 2.5 hours away and this video was 4 years ago and nothing has changed its a fun time but cant say i had worlds of it

Hey Taylor, which do you like better, the drop tower at Kings Dominion or the drop tower at Kings Island?

Why would Cedar Fair actually invest money in this place? It isn't Cedar Point! Lol. I love this place, I love all the classic flat rides like Mustang Runner, Falcon's Flight, Skyliner, Bamboozler, Finnish Fling, Scrambler, Zulu, and Cyclone Sam's.

Been here twice, love it.... Watch out for the loose skunks from time to time. Lmao

The reason bbq was unique there is because kc is known for bbq

This and Dorney are very well rounded, clean, and family parks. Cedar Fair really needs to pay attention to them

I live within a reasonable distance and I quit going three years ago. Outside of The Patriot, The Mamba, The Prowler, and The Detonator the park blows. All the land available and it sits empty, especially most of the land where The Orient Express sat.

This review helped me solidify my decision to come this park just last week. I agree that it is a nice little park that could use extra attention from Cedar Fair. Also, if you read the reviews of the park on facebook, you will see they are mixed and the low reviews are over petty things.

great review!!!

I was there back in 1988. I miss the Orient Express, the Zippy Zinger.

I can't wait to go 😊

this is my home park and i agree that cedar fair could easily make this a super nice park possibly the next flag ship park what with all the land they could easily fit in a nice launch coaster a giga an rmc and a thrill ride expansion and still have room to spare a launched wing coaster would be phenomenal and would fit theme with each section during haunt the park is on 3 train operations and even with 3 trains i waited 2 hours to ride Mamba but a night ride on Mamba and Prowler is totally worth the entry price alone also we have one of the most under rated haunts ever ive been told by many park guests when i was employed as a haunt scarer that we are better than Knotts and Carowinds. i love your vids and thanks for enjoying my home park im glad u didnt bomb it like with some park reviews lol

it’s my home park and i think we’re pretty lucky with what we have. i would love a new ride, but i’m thankful i don’t have to drive hours to get to an amusement park. next time you go, make sure you plan for the whole day and hit both parks, one ticket is admission to both! start at WOF, then head on over to Oceans to cool off. when it gets cooler towards the end of the day, head back! also, the diner by mamba is the best place to eat! getting a fast pass is honestly worth it, especially on busy days and during halloween haunt. there’s nothing better than ending the day on steelhawk! if you go often, you’ll figure out the layout it’s not too bad. fury of the nile is always a super quick and efficient way to cool off on hot days! hope you get to come back and try out Oceans too! ps. glad you like the timberwolf! it’s not my favorite, super rough and it kills my back, but i can’t keep myself from riding it at least once per trip.

I agree with adding a stand out ride. This is my home park, so I'm glad it got a good review from you! But I wish Cedar Fair would add more theming. It's based off "Around the World in 80 Days," so a steampunk update maybe? I dunno theming and detailing always a great bonus. Cedar Fair used to use WOF as a prototype park with Detonator and Mamba being early and smaller versions of rides that would open at Cedar Point the next year.

lol you went on a bad day. I got a season pass and i went like 3 days in a row once and i still go. the timber wolf doesnt hurt...ths prowler is my fav but it shakes you sooo much

My home park! Yay! I like to see what other people think about it. :) good or bad.

Since i do work at Great America there is also a Dinning Plan for this season .

A Mack Multi-Launch would be a great fit.

Notification squad up in here!!!!!!😀😀😀

this is my home park and it is nice and awesome i want to see another roller coaster

How about something like Galeforce but with the switchtrack here? or just a clone of Galeforce or something like that?

That is my home park!!! I have a season pass so I go a lot!!

Bruh I've been to this play and it's AWESOME!!

Such a underrated park, wish they did more.

This is my home park!! Wooo!! But they got rid of the finnish fling ;(

Can you do a review of Valleyfair please? I think that’s a CF park that doesn’t get talked about enough

The Neglected park in the cedar fair chain that has more than two good coasters.

world's of fun is good but IMO I think this is almost identical to dorney park. patriot vs talon, mamba vs steel force, timber wolf vs thunder hawk. and you got some others in there but you get the point

awesome review

I love this park! I went here on Sunday before the eclipse. Prowler is better than Mystic Timbers and Thunderhead as I rank them, and undoubtably the best coaster in the park. Mamba has an awesome first half, including perhaps the best near miss element in the world (that support on the turnaround feels so close!) however I was dissapointed in the second half, as the bunny hills were airtimeless. Still a fun ride though. Patriot is the first coaster to truely cause me to grey out. After that drop through the first 2 inversions, I greyed out, every time. I also found Timberwolf to be not even close to as bad as I have heard. Oceans of Fun is a pretty cool waterpark. Not as good as the stand alone waterparks, like Raging Waves or Shliterban, but one of the better waterparks tied to an amusement park.

If you enjoy this park, you will definitely enjoy Canada's Wonderland when you go this summer.

Was hoping wof would add another coaster this year. Instead they are tearing down the finish fling and adding a new family ride

I love this park, the food was neat

I will say that, this being my home park, they rarely don’t run 2 trains, no matter how crowded Another thing is that, you mentioned you don’t need a full day. My family gets season passes every year. It is only about 90 dollars and a regular pass is 50-60. Since we go a lot it’s worth it. We normally get there at opening, normally 10, and leave by 1. From about 10-11:30 it is dead, after that it fills up. So being able to go every weekend it is fine to go there, ride all the rides, and leave by the time it fills up. Normally get food on the way back

Are you planning on talking about RMC Mean Streak anytime soon?

For some extra space they could add, they should consider a couple new sections like Amazonia to reflect on the culture of tropical South America and Australia hence the name of the country that’s part of Oceania and its culture. For the 2019 season, the portion of Americana that has the Timber Wolf and other rides and attractions based on what looks like rural America or the Western United States with woody vibes was spun-off and newly named “Wild West” while what remained in the existing Americana section reflects more to the Eastern United States like Virginia, DC, and New York. And where the Mamba roller coaster sits could be spun off from Africa and newly named “Mamba Mountain”. The Gateway Gardens near the park entrance was once called the International Plaza after being spun-off from Scandinavia. The Orient that reflects on Asian culture in the past few years was renamed to “East Asia” due to the fact that its signature roller coaster the Orient Express had long been axed after the 2003 season due to high maintenance costs that they couldn’t keep budgeting.

WE HAVN’T HAD A NEW COASTER SINCE 2009! CEDAR FAIR NEEDS TO GIVE US SOME LOVE 😭

Their funnel cake is the BEST!!

Mamba is fun!! Your right bout space launch coaster yummy they have bbq all u can eat pop too!! Wof park so different i agree they will launch coaster in 2019 thanks appreciate your videos bro!!

the fish are a theming aspect for the area of the park you were in which was orient area and koi fish are common in asia
