Welcome back to Worlds of Fun

It's time for Grand Carnivale

Zambezi Zinger (WOF)

Let's take a look at the clearing for Project 50.  Looks like there are a lot more trees marked for removal

This area seems a lot more cleared out since our last visit.

On top of the hill there in the clearing you can see a piece of equipment being used for tree removal

I can imagine that after August 11th's announcement that there will probably be a lot more activity here

Found it interesting that there was a marker all the way over by the Nile pathway

So do you think that this building will be reused for the new attraction or will it be removed?

We also checked out behind Monsoon, but there wasn't much movement back here either

World Update (WOF)

Some new paint has appeared on the old Big Game Hunt building in Africa

Zulu is getting some attention

MAMBA is back to running two trains again - and the MCBR is still only tapping lightly meaning the second half is still running faster like it has been all season

Falcon's Flight was actually being worked on today

Eli is still naked without her cowcatcher

We finally caught Kickin' Country performing

It's actually really well done.

We finally got to see some progress at Gateway Pizza

Today they were laying stamped colored cement

They also did it over in the main seating area.  I think it looks nice
