Worlds of Fun - Park Update

 

We finally made it to Worlds of Fun for the first time this season.
The pathway to the park has been plussed this off-season with new signage

There are now signs for each of the lands that are represented in Worlds of Fun

Security also received an upgrade

Welcome to Worlds of Fun

Signage talking about the offerings at the park.
Make note that PJ Panda is used a lot and there's no mention of the Peanut characters.  We have a feeling that Pandamonium will be making its return next season taking over Planet Snoopy

The park is hoping to take advantage of FIFA being in town this summer

There are lots of decorations that are soccer themed in Gateway Gardens

The largest being these soccer balls in the planters

They added the words East Asia to the gateway

Lots of new thematic details have been added to the buildings

This area has been enclosed completely on Rickshaw's

This stand now serves "dragon" legs

They removed one of the huts here and really opened up the view of Bamboozler

The bamboo by the restrooms was really cut back

New paint and repaired detailing on the Bamboozler station

RipCord appears to be slated for removal.  Currently there are no wires on the towers 

The station area is all closed up and very minimal signage

The Coke Freestyle stand received more thematic elements as well

Front Street Gardens looks amazing this season

This shop was renamed Udder Delights, a homage back to the original ice cream shop at the park

It now serves hand dipped ice cream along with the shakes it had been serving

Timber Wolf has opened for the season.  After a rocky 2025 season where it was uncertain on if it would ever run again, it opened for the season this weekend

A new chandelier in the entry way

Wolf Lake is still drained

This off season, Timber Wolf received precut replacement track from Gravity Group

The replaced section is the run back to the station which you can see here

In other news, the original exit is being used again

Which means you exit into Bicentennial Square again

Speaking of Bicentennial Square, it has reopened

The store windows have been updated to fit the theme

It is a really nice quiet area that you can just relax in

This is the London Terror haunted maze for those who are confused where this is located in the park

Cyclone Sam's has opened for the season with the original safety video in the queue and restored effects on the actual ride (fog, strobes and more)

They added this covering on the end of Detonator Games.  Not sure what it is for

Mustang Runner received a new paint job this off-season.  Looks much better

Detonator received new banners with the updated logo

They added to the camp scene by Mustang Runner

You can go into the new funeral parlor in the Wild West section

They have a casket on display and more

The General Store has been renamed to Cyclone Sadie's Saloon - homage to the original fun house that used to be here

Gold Rush has reopened

It is serving pizza again

Prospector's is no longer a Chipotle style restaurant

The new menu is chicken sandwiches

Autobahn's entrance received a clock

Looks likes they plan to reopen this quick-service restaurant

New fountain in front of Le Taxi Tour

The Haunt store is still there

The new season at Moulin Rouge has not started yet

The floral clock is working, but no flowers yet

Auntie Anne's is not open yet for the season

New jeep at Zambezi Zinger

Fury of the Nile is receiving some much needed upgrades

Mamba now has a green train

The green train also has new nose art.
In other news, they are bringing the train to an almost complete stop at the MCBR now

Squawk! has returned for another season

The queue TVs are all showing that the park is under new management

Prowler received more Titan track this offseason

The area that was redone is here in the final turn back into the final brakes

The backside of the security station has this goodbye.

The park looks good, but is still having issues with operations.  Lots of rides and stands still closed.  Most coasters running only one train causing long lines.  Hopefully Enchanted Parks can turn this place around
