August 11, 2022 - Look, you might think I'm lying, you might think I'm crazy, but I know for a fact that the plan right now for Worlds of Fun is to add a new roller coaster between 2024-2026.
Recently, I had so many details down for WOF's new Zambezi Zinger before it was announced that MidwestInfoGuide(Swoosh) had to throw me and others off. So as much crap as you wanna talk I do have reputable sources, especially the dip and dots guy!!! So, I will be sharing what I know and my prediction!
If you look at the picture on the left or wherever it is on your screen you should see a very poorly outlined sketch of where the Worlds of Fun next coaster might be (after the new Zambezi Zinger). To my knowledge right now, there is a 100% chance for another new coaster after Zambezi Zinger coming with the next 2-5 years. I've heard a lot of things that are interesting and what this could be but my solid prediction is a Giga Coaster! Yes, you heard me right, A Giga Coaster!
If you look at Worlds of Fun's lineup when it comes to standout attractions there isn't a really good fit. Patriot is an okay invert but is definitely not the best. Prowler is a pretty good GCI but it does not really hold a fear factor to it. Timber Wolf, Spinning Dragons, and Boomerang fall into the same category of very average. Mamba is just kind of there I guess, it has height and some air time don't get wrong, especially lately not sure what's up with that but it's great, but cmon it's Morgan Hyper Coaster.
So there, you have my reasoning but I've also heard a few things I'm not sure if I can or should share, so I'm probably not going to talk about that at the moment. But, these are great times for Worlds of Fun coming up and I'm very, very excited for the future!
