I Know it's Not as Much as Some other People on Here, but on 5/28/10 I Rode my 200th Coaster (Prowler) at Worlds of Fun. Anyway, here's some Odds and Ends about the Trip:
- Rode Midwest Airlines from MKE to MCI and Back. - Ate at Mama Jo's (I'm pretty Sure, it's the One across from the QuikTrip on the Other Side of the Road near the Park) - I Didn't Know Kansas City was the "City of Fountains"? - Stayed at a Fairfield across from the Park (I Could See Mamba from my Hotel. No Lie) - My Mom confused "Timber Wolf" with "Mamba" (She's Scared of Heights.)
Day Plan + Thursday- Fly in, Relax + Friday- Worlds of Fun + Saturday- Fly Home
I Rode the Following in the Best Order I Can Remember 194- Spinning Dragons 195- Patriot 196- Timber Wolf - Thunderhawk - Detonator - Detonator (Different Tower) 197- Wacky Worm (I Tried 2x and Borrowed a Kid) - Scrambler - Worlds of Fun Railroad - Autobahn - Le Carrousel - Flying Dutchman - Le Taxi Tour 198- Boomerang - Fury of the Nile 199- Mamba # WORLDS OF FUN BACKYARD BBQ at Festhaus - Viking Voyager - Fjord Fjarlane - Finnish Fling - Octopus - Sea Dragon - Zulu 200!!!!!!!!!!!- Prowler - Mamba - Patriot - Skyliner - Bamboozler - Prowler # Snoopy's Summer Lights *
^ Not bad for 11 Hours (10-9)
*- Was Not Fully Up but since it starts on June 4, I'll Forgive and as a Guy "It was Beautiful"
Festhaus Feast - Fried Chicken (Awesome BTW) - Brisket - Hot Dogs - Cookies - Soda - Baked Beans - Pickles - A Roll
Notes about Nothing - Cyclone Sam's Was Closed as was Monsoon. - I Also Saw "British Invasion" at Moulin Rouge Theater at 2, I Believe - A Girl Passed out and Had to be Taken Away in Line at Fury of the Nile - Dang! Worlds of Fun has Hills - I Went around the Park, Roughly 2.75-3x - Got a Keychain, Magnet, Shotglass, and T-Shirt - Drank about 30 Cups of Water
Overall, I Like the Park. It just needs some General Improvements and Better Loading/Unloading on Rides.
I loved Mamba when I went, and I went on Fury of the Nile. I didn't go on Patriot or Timberwolf when I went, I really wanted to go on Patriot but never got over there. I loved Mamba's bunny hills at the end those were fun. I didn't get on Prowler because it wasn't being built yet. I went on Boomerang too but didn't really like it. Glad you had fun.
Congrats on the 200th credit. Im still working on triple digits. Its getting hard because im not really a credit whore. Im just there for the good coasters.
Top 5: 1) El Toro. 2) Maverick. 3) Millenium Force. 4) Diamondback. 5) X2. Coaster Count: 167 (41 Wood, 125 Steel) @Coaster_Cole on Twitter
Hey Ive only been on 372 different coasters, not alot compared to many of my friends...........................JK IVE ONLY BEEN ON 170somethin sooooo CONGRATULATIONS!
Glad you had fun. Personally I thought Prowler was a big time disappointment, same with Mamba. Patriot was solid and Timber Wolf could have been smoother, but was still fun. Agreed with just about everything else you said though. Congrats on 200.

It was kinda funny with Prowler. My mom is someone who is afraid of Lifts, Being above the Ground Significantly (Spinning Dragons Scared her but she was fine on Tony Hawks for Some Reason), and Stoping when your not supposed too (Like on a Lift hill). She rode Prowler and I Asked her how it was and she said
"It turned too many Times."
There's no Pleasing Her is there. I know there's none for me.
