Theme Park review - Worlds of Fun

This is something that I'm sure not to many people do. I've been to Worlds of Fun countless times, not exactly becasue it's an amazing park, but because it's the only one that's actuall close to where I live. So... LET'S GO!!!

The rides are obviously the most important part of any park, and with that said, Worlds of Fun has enough of them to go on for one day. The most notable of the rides featured include the Mamba, the Patriot, Timber Wolf, and a few others. The former is the best by far, and the Patriot, the newest addition to the park, is purely awesome. The Mamba is a roller coaster that has a 200 foot plunge, and then after going on a few more hills, makes you black out for afew second by going around a large twist.

While the rides may be fun, there's really no theme to any of them, and the lines are by no means interesting. It's a typical theme park, and would never be able to compare to the greats such as Universal Studios or Disney. Many of the rides are just ones that make you want to throw up, and the Boomerang is just horribly designed. The shows are completely forgetable, and to tell the truth, I really couldn't give a fat %*$@ if the dog featured in the dog show was shown on 3 different TV shows...

The flume ride's water seems to be nothing but sewage, and while the train ride may be relaxing, the scenery seen through it is just crappy. The Spinning Dragons, while having the worst line of all time, is actually pretty fun, just make sure that you're not even a little bit sick before going on it, because it'll just make it worse.

The makers did a dubious effort at trying to get the riders wet on the Fury of the Nile, but just to make sure the guests are soaping, they literally drench you with water by pouring it all over you at the end...

The Timeberwolf is a moderate wooden roller coaster, though I've seen ones that are 10 times better at Mount Olympus in Wisconssion.

Overall, if you're looking for a park with lots of rollercoasters and spinning rides, then come and check it out... but I'd reccomend that you'd only do so at night time when it's half price, otherwise you won't be getting your moneys worth. If you're bringing your youngins, then don't worry - They have plenty of rides that will please them, including the reletavely large Camp Snoopy area, and the multiple kids rides that are scattered throughout the park.

Notable Rides

*Mamba: An exciting drop is great, though, as aforementioned, the twist in the middle of the ride makes you black out (literally) for a second or two. - 9/10
*The Patriot - An awesome steel inverted coaster that will in all likely hood (if you don't usually get sick on rides) not make you nauseated. - 8/10
*Spinning Dragons - This ride is fun, but I'd suggest it be the last ride you do, because you may very well get sick from all the spinning. - 6/10
*Boomerang - An (in my opinion) awfully designed ride that makes you go through three different loops and then backwards. I actually threw up a little on this one - 4/10
*Fury of the Nile - A ride that isn't able of getting you wet until it dumps you with water... - 6/10
*Timberwolf - A wooden coaster that, while very shakey, is pretty decent. - 7/10

Overall park grade - 6.5/10
