Worlds of Fun trip, Kansas City MissouriWe just did a day at Worlds of Fun, which is no "huge" themepark but is a pretty nice one for those of us in the midwest. They have a brand new ride/coaster this summer....The Patriot....which was tons of fun!
From Penny Laschanzky
I just took 6 kids (ages ranged from 9 to 16) to Worlds of Fun in Kansas City, Missouri, for a one-day-ride-until-you-drop experience. We had a great time, and were able to do almost all of the rides, including the roller coasters they have there. Unfortunately, their one wood-track coaster, the Timberwolf, was closed for the entire day but we rode their all-new for 2006 coaster, the Patriot, four times and that more than made up for it! This is a really nice park, but beware that it is soooooo hilly and it seems as if you are always climbing hills. I was pushing a wheelchair that contained my teenage daughter and I will tell you that it was physically exhausting (thank goodness I'm in pretty good shape otherwise I wouldn't have been able to do it!). The park offers a "backyard barbecue buffet" experience with a park admission if you book in advance. We did that and it was well worth it. We were ready for a break and the food and beverages served was pretty good making the cost of this ($30 per person which included the park admission) a very good deal. For all of those in the midwest region looking for a trip that can be done in a short amount of time, I'd recommend this highly. My kids can't wait for mom to plan another "fun day" at Worlds of Fun! happy to answer questions at randplasch@hotmail.com Posted June 25, 2006 at 10:54 AM

penny, i am a national journalist writing about theme park trends this summer: what are you noticing -- new stuff, stuff for different ages? cleaner? more user friendly? stuff for families? prices up or down? value? dark rides seems to be a trend... why? (appeals to more ages, young to elderly....)with six flags trying to reemphasize families, does this mean the supercoaster arms races is calmed down for awhile? Is that good, bad, neutral?Posted June 28, 2006 at 3:46 PM
