Worlds of Fun - Timber Wolf

The Legend is back - after being closed for most of the season, Timber Wolf reopened for Halloween Haunt

The classic light up logo also made its return at the ride entrance

The ride is only running one train and there is no Fast Lane so plan accordingly if you want to ride

For the most part, the ride is running without trims so it is hauling through the course

If you can ride in a "non-wheel" seat - so an odd row, you will have a better ride

For the most part, the ride was pretty smooth until you hit this point and then it really jackhammers

So what does this mean for Timber Wolf's future? Honestly we have no idea

This random box showed up at its exit. Is this a hint or just a random Haunt decoration

If this is indeed the end for Timber Wolf - we are thankful we got a final lap on it

Worlds of Fun - Haunted Attractions

The Overlord demands that you check out the Haunted Attractions

First up was CornStalkers. Can we just say that labeling this as a "fright zone" and doing away with Express Pass is completely asinine. The maze itself was decent but definitely not on par with past seasons

Peter Peter is also considered a "scare zone"

I'm guessing this just means that they let you "conga line" through the maze.

Some decent scares this year. Definitely not a "scare zone"

They added a 21+ dance bar called the Bunker in Europa. No one was using it

BloodShed was great like normal. Some of the best jump scares of the night

Zombie High had a lot more freaks than normal. Wish they'd work on their techniques

Abyss receives the award for lamest of the night. The freaks in here acted like they would rather be anywhere else than here

Which is a shame, because the props are pretty cool

Maybe time to bring back Camp Gonnagitcha?

Shadowmoore Cemetery actually had freaks this season

I have to admit that really added to the fright zone

The props here are just weird

Lore of the Vampire received an refresh this season and it was pretty awesome. The basement received the most new things but even upstairs was different

Outlaws Revenge fright zone was hit and miss. Some really good freaks in here but you could tell they were getting tired as the night went on

Biggest surprise of the night was Ripper's Alley. The BEST jumpscare of the night belongs to this house - and we've never had one in this maze before. Jack the Ripper came out of nowhere

And as expected, Blood on the Bayou remains our favorite house. It is just full of eye candy and is honestly just so much fun to look around in.

Worlds of Fun - Halloween Haunt Shows

Haunted Homecoming is back for another season as the number one show during Haunt

This year's cast is very talented

A lot of the same songs from last year, but the big change is they have removed the "Chicago - Cell Block Tango" part and replaced it with a Camp Gonnagitcha themed section

The show I attended was standing room only and from what I hear this is pretty normal

The freaks are making their way to the stage in Gateway Gardens - and yes this young fan is correct, Mr. Tickles definitely carries Haunt

The crowd in Gateway Gardens for this show is unreal

The Overlord appears and opens HAUNT for the evening

The Wicked Witches of the East and West are sporting new outfits this year and honestly they didn't do much for us

HAUNT IS OPEN

Mr. Tickle's Last Laff received a new home this year - the Country Junction Theatre - oh and he killed off the Ringmaster

Don't come to this show if you want "family friendly fun" - it can be down right lewd at times

I can see this show really evolving in coming seasons, but this year it was a lot of fun and major upgrade from what it has been in the past. If they could take pointers from The Hanging at Knott's and do parodies of local happenings I think it would go over great
