WORLDS OF FUN & Oceans of Fun Kansas City, MO Cedar Fair L.P.
Park News - (1/31/12) The official Worlds of Fun blog reports that the park’s Wacky Worm ride has been packed up and shipped off for a remodel. When it returns to the park next year, it will have a new space rocket theme. It will be moved up the hill to be the first attraction guests see when entering Planet Snoopy. (10/21/11) Check out a quick photo trip report from Halloween Haunt at Worlds of Fun posted by MidWestInfoGuide. (9/21/11) Continuing the theme from the last couple of days, it turns out there is another cemetery just to the north of the parking lot at Worlds of Fun it seems, and is even labeled on Google Maps as Crowley Cemetery. So far we’ve discovered that there are quite a few cemeteries on the grounds, or very close to the grounds of several theme parks. Who knows where we will find one next. (9/13/11) A new Haunt construction update from Worlds of Fun has been posted to MidWestInfoGuide this week. (4/28/11) Theme Park Review and MidWestInfoGuide have posted good photo updates from Worlds of Fun this week.
2012 - Minor Improvements - (1/23/12) Hints dropped by the Worlds of Fun Twitter feed seem to indicate that the Canine Junction Theater will go back to being called the Country Junction Theater. Meanwhile the company behind the Muttallicas show that was performed there mentions adding Mini Horses and having a new ‘Country” theme to their shows this year. (12/29/11) According to the Unofficial Worlds of Fun site, the park has a slew of minor improvements on deck for the 2012 season. According to information presented at the ACE Coaster Christmas event look for the park to add a Caribou Coffee location, an unnamed new BBQ chain food location, a planned expansion of WOF’s Halloween Haunt (including a new permanent structure) and moving Wacky Worm into Planet Snoopy where it will take the place of the Woodstock Express train. The park will also make a number of ADA improvements, add the Fast Lane (Front of Line Pass) in for the regular season, and add new live entertainment options as well as other basic infrastructure improvements to WOF and Oceans of Fun. On the subject of the expanding BBQ chain, I’ve got to wonder if this might be a new Famous Dave’s. Last August I had heard that Cedar Fair was in talks with them about adding a new location next to Carowinds in the near future, so perhaps more are also planned.
