Worlds of Fun seems to be clearing land for what's rumored to finally be a new coaster.

My hope is for an RMC raptor or something, the surrounding area doesn't have anything like that and it'd be a good fit for the park.

I've been following this project VERY closely for a long while now on the public records front. In fact, I have had a formal FOIA request in with the local municipality since before its existance was publicly reported. Hopefully something will come of that effort before too long.

Delighted to see Cedar Fair investing in WOF. You’d think the KC metro area would be one to invest in a park with.

I went to Worlds of Fun last year for the first time, and I loved it honestly, such a cute little park with a very charming atmosphere, just needs a new good ride for the dry park. It seems like the water park gets a lot of love, though!

Seems as though CF is back to investing in its non-premium level parks. And they should. Many of them are in underserved areas like WOF and MA. Not saying they need to go all out, but doing more would be great for them.

Ok. A wooden coaster was like... At the bottom of my list of theories.

Glad to see CF reusing trains from CGA already.

Awesome! Wonder if it's a gravity group?

 

[YachtyLogs]

Super shocked about this, Prowler is already the best ride in the park IMO so doubling up is weird. I'd also have to think it's gravity group but honestly no clue on this one

Differentiation is gonna have to be the name of the game here, right? Maybe it's a shuttle coaster like Dorney's was going to be? Maybe it has an inversion? Maybe it's launched...? I can't imagine a "standard" wooden coaster addition making any sense alongside WOF's existing woodies...

 

[YachtyLogs]

Could also be a Family Gravity Group, but the plot of land is too large for that I think. Wild theory, maybe a ground up RMC hybrid? Though that feels like overkill and I don't think Cedar Fair would plop one of those there.

Maybe it *IS* Dorney's shuttle.....

What if it's a ground up RMC?

Gonna have to wait for those FOIA requests to come in I guess. I'm not at all familiar with Worlds of Fun as a park and it's particular idiosyncrasies so I can't really offer any ideas that haven't already been thrown on the table.

Maybe that wooden invert coaster that someone was trying to sell at IAAPA a few years ago before getting kicked out?

Wooden what now?

The Inverted Wooden Roller Coaster is Real

This is guaranteed to be the craziest, most awesomely bad (yet good) idea you have seen today, possibly for the rest of the year. A gentleman by the name of Jonathan I. Gordon of Stamford, CT took …

That would be awfully amazing, this is gonna be a Vekoma hang and bang but even worse

Really glad to see a new wooden coaster being built!

It's a GCI.
