ZambeziZinger Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Now if they can just take a bulldozer to the entire park. Fixed that for you! Dumb. It's one of the nicer parks in the chain. And it's the Africa section not Kongo (whatever the heck that is). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vonni Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Now if they can just take a bulldozer to the entire Kongo section of the park. Or at least downsize it a bit. I feel like it takes up most of the park lol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirkFunk Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 The Africa section is rad. The problem is that it has an Australian themed boomerang stuck in the middle of it because Kinzel is either strangely vindictive towards creative types or quasi-retarded.

WOFanatic Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 I really like the African section of the park, especially the Prowler area. Boomerang's area is off, but the Dinosaur's Alive area is gorgeously landscaped and themed. Of course, Coaster's needs to go too, in my opinion. As much as WOF wants to say it's an extension of the Americana section, it's almost laughable how out of place it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have Boomerangs in Africa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WOFanatic Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Check out these photos of the new front gate posted by Bleck & Bleck Architects on Twitter. It's looking really good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToNC Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 With Michigan's Adventure and Valleyfair getting the season long fastlane. Does anyone else think WOF might be in the running for it too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coaster19 Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 I just got an email from WoF about the season long Fastlane. WoF has it for 2017. Will not be available for Halloween or Winterfest. $99 to add on to your season pass. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WOFanatic Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Additionally, both Falcon's Flight and Mustang Runner are now being erected. The park's been busy this week! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vonni Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 ^ Where are each of the new rides being located? It looks like one of them is going where the Scrambler used to be, but I cant really tell from the pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RollerManic Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 The first one (condor?) looks to be directly across from where the scrambler used to be (where a patio appears of google maps) and the second looks like it is in the scrambler's spot.

The Troika is the first pic and the Condor is the second. The troika is being built right across from the entrance to Detonator, while the Condor is being built in Le Carousel's old spot, across from Autobahn (bumper cars) and next to Flying Dutchman. Nothing is filling Scrambler's old spot (yet). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenman Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Anyone know if they GCI retracked the helix of Timberwolf? I asked PR but they were busy with the front gate, and weren't sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaykethekid Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 I was wondering the same thing. It is probably the part of the ride that needed retracking the most from a rider comfortability standpoint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrashcanMan Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 I was wondering the same thing. It is probably the part of the ride that needed retracking the most from a rider comfortability standpoint. That would be...Well the rest. Haha. Hope it is retracked, that helix was painful last year. I do feel the first half has gotten more mild though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RailBlazer Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Anyone know if they GCI retracked the helix of Timberwolf? I asked PR but they were busy with the front gate, and weren't sure. This year's work didn't happen. I don't know why, but I am guessing it has to do with all the other things going on in the park and/or budget. There is so much going on out there with the new gate, new catering facility, two new rides and a lot of other projects to prepare the park for Winterfest, etc. I was really looking forward to the helix getting some work, but no such luck for now.

Bryantw36 Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 So I guess there's something else to be revealed, could it be the center piece for the front gate, or a promotion for the 2018 year, just like they did in 08' for 09's addition of Prowler. The hashtag is #underthetarp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryantw36 Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 So Worlds of Fun is promoting something else, could it be for the 2018 year like they did in 2008 for the 2009 addition of Prowler, or could it just be the centerpiece for the new entrance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n1ch0las Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 Season pass Fastlane is an upsell that I have a hard time saying no to being only 15 minutes from the park. Last summer I avoided Saturdays due to lines...not anymore. $100 to guarantee each of my visits are awesome? Totally worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
