now that prowler is open can we talk about next year....someone had to bring it up...i think a new flat ride makes sense....

The rumour about the carrousel from Geauga Lake coming to WOF still stands.

AWESOME!

Just a couple of days ago I was thinking about rewarding someone with a silly little prize for being the first one to mention 2010. I never came up with an actual prize idea though.

I too like the idea of a flat. A Chance Revolution would be nice. As for a "big" addition I would love to see dark ride shooter in the next couple of years.

I'm not sure if this should be in the rumor world or not. Any thoughts on that?

Bored with Prowler already?

tonyblackjack · « **Reply #4 on:** May 6, 2009, 10:34 »

Nope just spoiled. For that sake I hope WOF never gets sold. It won't get new rides as often.

silverstreak · « **Reply #5 on:** May 6, 2009, 10:49 »

i dont think i will ever get bored with prowler...i cant be the first person to think about nxt year....

Swoosh · « **Reply #6 on:** May 6, 2009, 10:55 »

The only park that I am really thinking about "next year" is SDC.
The reason being I am wondering if they are going to finish the hole... er new attraction that they started or go in a different direction

Jason · « **Reply #7 on:** May 6, 2009, 11:10 »

I would like to see them go in a new direction like possibly moving OzCat over to SDC or building a new GCI and using OzCat's existing trains and mechanical parts if moving it doesn't make sense financially.

Then sell the CC ferris wheel to WoF.

This is what I want...

I saw this on the website and thought, "this could be cool". I was wrong, the build up on the video is better than the ride.

I think GL's carousel is likely.

Here's my wishlist:

•   A new railroad station next to Prowler. Prowler’s queue would have to be rearranged though.
•   An ice skating show; perhaps in a new theatre.
•   Replace one of the Stax shows with some sort of comedy or magic shows.
•   Remodel the amphitheatre. Either use it for a bike/skate stunt show or bring back the laser light show. This would be an opportunity to make the venue more accessible for concerts. Also, get rid of the Heart of America name. If not The Forum, I wouldn’t mind a corporate sponsorship to cover the remodeling costs.

I would also like to see some capital spent at Oceans:
•   Put in a new attraction. I would like a Proslide mat racer or the water coaster recently removed from Carowinds.
•   All the restrooms/changing rooms could use remodeling. It would also be nice if the park put in some unisex “family restrooms."
•   Widen the variety of food options. Introduce some kind of cheap seafood or maybe another Subway.

What i think will be coming to worlds of fun in 2010 is a screamin swing we don't have one yet and they are somewhat popular

silverstreak · « **Reply #11 on:** May 6, 2009, 02:43 »

orient wolff no offense but your ideas are boring...a train stop for a train ride that is already really short...and anything to do with shows is not an addition in my opinion...oof does need a new slide...

tonyblackjack · « **Reply #12 on:** May 6, 2009, 03:19 »

Wolf they are already in/or close to the last year of a Restroom renovation.

Orient Wolf · « **Reply #13 on:** May 6, 2009, 03:28 »

^My request for restroom rennovations was specifically regarding Oceans of Fun. None of which have been remodeled in my ten years of visiting the waterpark.

Swoosh · « **Reply #14 on:** May 6, 2009, 03:31 »

Worlds of Fun restroom rennovations are complete as of last season, fyi.

I would love another outdoor show venue, perhaps across from Zulu where Silly Serpent was using the natural ravine. Would be a great place to have a BMX & Skateboard Show.

CBRADIO · « **Reply #15 on:** May 6, 2009, 06:34 »

Okay, Okay, I'm not sick of Prowler yet but....

What kind of coaster would you want to be installed next at WOF?

Swoosh · « **Reply #16 on:** May 6, 2009, 08:10 »

a launched coaster

Orient Wolf · « **Reply #17 on:** May 6, 2009, 08:17 »

^Agreed.

tonyblackjack · « **Reply #18 on:** May 6, 2009, 08:50 »

In the old OE Lot! 300ft+ Tophat

Swoosh · « **Reply #19 on:** May 6, 2009, 09:17 »

Honestly, I'd take a clone of Xcelerator. It is more than enough ride and is a lot of fun.
You don't have to go crazy tall to have a great launched coaster... shoot I'd even take a coaster similar to Storm Runner or even Powder Keg

Jason · « **Reply #20 on:** May 7, 2009, 02:51 »

I too am a fan of the launched idea. Here's a twist, it can't be an Intamin.

Well I guess we can have a launched B&M floorless and kill two birds with one stone

Ben · « **Reply #22 on:** May 7, 2009, 08:14 »

I'd take an S&S launcher...

AyTrane · « **Reply #23 on:** May 7, 2009, 11:09 »

Brandon didn't like my idea of going with an S&S, he said that if more parks got them, then Worlds of Fun would probably jump on board.

rcjkochs · « **Reply #24 on:** May 7, 2009, 11:42 »

We need to see something taller and faster and longer than Mamba! No offense but I think Worlds of Fun needs to step up and get its name on the list of extreme coasters again like it did with Mamba. I'm thinking a Diamondback but 250+ feet or launch that goes to 300+ feet tall like Top Thrill and for god's sake put something into the Orient or Scandi sections of the park cause I'm tired of Americana or African rides going in constantly.

zztop · « **Reply #25 on:** May 7, 2009, 01:27 »

im a fan of ispeed over in europe it looks like a lot of fun and its launched or mabye something like blue fire

Swoosh · « **Reply #26 on:** May 7, 2009, 03:17 »

So are you thinking maybe a Mega-Lite from Intamin?

tonyblackjack · « **Reply #27 on:** May 7, 2009, 03:41 »

I am down with a Mega Lite or even a Mega Heavy like Expedition GeForce! I hear so many great reviews about that ride.

zztop · « **Reply #28 on:** May 7, 2009, 04:05 »

for Oof how about one of those new waterslides with a loop, that would be alot of fun and bring lots of people to Oof

HalloweenHauntFreak · « **Reply #29 on:** May 7, 2009, 04:46 »

I think WOF could possibly be under new management in 2010 which would most likely result in no new coaster.
