Worlds of Fun Park President Dameon Nelson

The two law enforcement departments that help serve Worlds of Fun were presented with 2027 season passes for everyone in their departments.

Dameon Nelson reiterated the importance of the parks THEME - Jules Verne's Around the World in 80 Days book and how the hot air balloon was a huge part of the park's story and would never go away.

He also talked about the future of the park.  There will be more night offerings this coming season, beyond Coasters After Dark.  Oceans of Fun will have an earlier opening day in 2027.  They areadopting a new "Service Guarantee"  where they will make it right - for when your visit isn't the best or if there is unfavorable weather.  He also talked about the renaming Worlds of Fun Village to Worlds of Fun Campground.  More information on changes will come out over the off season

And now for the unveiling of the logo.

The parks will now be combined into one name.

The logo features the coaster and water swooshes that will be found in all new Enchanted Park logos while still incorporating the famous hot air balloon logo

Following the ceremony, guests were presented with their own balloon

These balloons featured the brand new logo on it

In Plaza Gifts, you were able to be among the first to purchase new logo merchandise

Cinch back packs and lanyards

Fanny packs too

It's a bold new logo for a bold new era of Worlds & Oceans of Fun

We cannot wait to see what's next for this 53 year old KC staple

Worlds of Fun - Fall Family Fest

 

Welcome to a BRAND NEW event at Worlds of Fun

Fall Family Fest

There are some interesting rules for the event.

First it is limited admission.  You must RSVP.

Next it is free to park and enter the actual park.

However, if you want to ride you must have a wristband.

2027 (not 2026) passholders will get a free wristband.  Everyone else must pay $20 for all of the rides or $10 for just Planet Snoopy

The never event also introduces two new characters who are available for photos along with the Peanuts characters in the Gateway Gardens area

The park has repurposed some of the Haunt decorations, but you will not see any of the "scary" decorations in the park during this festival - it is all gone already!

There's a craft area over by Gateway Pizza.  You can color or make some critters

Here is the updated map for the festival - but we'll show you the rides that are available

Fjord Fjairlane

Grand Carrousel

Spinning Dragons

Bamboozler

Skyliner

Patriot

Timber Wolf

Cyclone Sam's

Detonator

Mustang Runner

Almost all of the rides in Planet Snoopy

Woodstock's Gliders

The only thing I saw closed was the rocket monorail and maybe Lucy's Tugboat

Again there are signs posted everywhere stating you have to have a wristband to ride

I'm sure there were still people that were surprised that they couldn't ride without one

Here is the "edge of the park" - Forum Road is fenced off

The hill down to Europa is fenced off before the restauraunt

In Scandinavia it is fenced off by Tivoli Music Hall

and just past the small bathrooms next to Viking Voyager

If you want deals on merchandise they are running huge sales right now

Note that there's no clearance sale on Peanuts merchandise.

That makes us hopeful that they are sticking around

Lots of good deals in all of the stores

It was a beautiful day and it appeared that everyone was having a good time.

There's one more Saturday left of the season and the park said that they have released more tickets so if you want to come out next week - check the website and RSVP soon
