Got
stuck in some nasty traffic in St. Louis at 7:00, so I didn't get to Worlds
of Fun until 11 or so. First park I had to pay full price. The day was much,
much nicer than yesterday, temps in the 80s with almost no humidity. At last
I could enjoy walking around a park instead of just searching for water. Worked
my way around the park clockwise, a really attractive park with not a large
crowd of people.
, 1 out of 4)Whoopie, another Vekoma boomerang. Rode it and checked it off.

4 out of 4)The ride I came to the park for. Having ridden Magnum, Desperado and Steel Force, I've become really enamored of these non-looping hypercoasters. For one, I love not banging my head on overhead restraints, and I find I can ride these again and again with no problems (try riding GASM 5 or 6 times in a row and see if you can walk :-)). Longest wait of the day, about 15 minutes because they were only running one train at the time. Got a bunch of rides, front seat, back seat and many in between. Phenomenal airtime in almost every seat, great views of the Timber Wolf, zippy turnaround with great headchoppers. A really first-class ride.

2 out of 4)I missed this ride last time I was here, so I was anxious to add it to my list. Not a bad looper for an older Arrow design, pretty decent drops and smooth loops.

 Again, 1st drop on Mamba. A great great hypercoaster. |
