Worlds of Fun - Park Update

 

The park is starting to look spooky as Haunt decorations are starting to show up

Not sure what this corn furniture is about near River City Grill

Decorations on the unused stage near River City Grill

The Emporium is dressed in oranges for Haunt

New pumpkin people near Gold Rush Pizza

Decorations on Gold Rush Pizza (which has yet to open this season)

Decorations on the shade structures on Forum Road

Mummy hiding near the Egypt restrooms

Decorations on the fence around Nile

No progress has been made on the MAMBA shade structures since our last visit

VooDoo skulls in Serengeti 

Large jack-o-lantern in Serengeti

The screen that separates the midway from the scare zone is up near the Serengeti Station Theater

Moulin Rouge has lots of decorations for Haunted Homecoming

Malice in Wonderland props have taken over Europa

They added a tiny Bier Garten sign where the sign for Falcon's Flights used to be

Decorations have been added to the guests carriages on the Worlds of Fun Railroad

AND before you ask, no it didn't open today

This was visit #6 of the season and we have yet to see it operate this season

Six Flags St. Louis - Joker Update

 

Time to check in on Joker.  First thing you will notice, they have removed the construction walls

Next, the giant Joker face entrance has been installed on the funhouse

There is a lot of queue line in this area

Luckily this area has a nice shade structure

The funhouse is making progress finally

Most of the outside siding and roof have been installed.  You can see that they have most of the framing installed inside

After you exit the fun house you are funneled into this area which leads to the grouper for loading

Here is a better look at the area you will wait in before being grouped.

From what I have heard, they are getting very close to being able to test the ride

The exit side of the funhouse

Looking through you can see the mouth of the entrance to the funhouse.  You can also see the framing inside the funhouse that will make up the maze

The face entrance is so unsettling.  We love it

This could be the best DC themed ride Six Flags St. Louis has produced to date

We know it will be worth the wait - but we really wish they would have started construction sooner so we could have enjoyed it during the summer portion of the season

Six Flags St. Louis - Park Update

  

The Carousel is not showing much progress again this season.  We know that it will be amazing when it returns, but there are kids starting Kindergarten who have never seen the Carousel operate

Fright Fest installation has begun.  The arbor tunnels are now closed and apparently the one closest to Thunder River will be themed to the Spider Infestation.  Also notice that Fright Fest begins on Friday the (September) 13th.

Fences for the cemetery have arrived in Palace Gardens

The stage has been set for Deadman's dance show

The other arbor tunnel will be themed to Trolls

Looking inside you can see some really cool looking props hanging down

Looking over into the other tunnel from the Mr. Freeze queue line you can see they are hanging up lots of cobwebs today.

Silver Dollar City - Park Update

 

The new rentals building is open and operational at the front gate of the park

Huge improvement over the tent they had.

Installation of the lights for Foggy Hollow is on going as Pumpkins in the City gets closer.

Oasis - Construction Update

 

Since our last visit, the sling shot towers have been completely installed

This marks the first ride to be installed (granted some additional components still need to be added)

There's also quite a bit of activity where one of the coasters are supposed to be located in the park, so perhaps we will see it go vertical in the near future
