I saw this on another website and it really is sad....I go to WoF many times each summer and fall as I go to school in Kansas and it's a great park. Lines are generally pretty short, and some great coasters with Patriot and Mamba. Definitely a family-friendly park that everyone from KC goes to. Another awesome thing about WoF is it's operating hours...it's open til midnight on many friday and saturday nights during the year, and during this past Halloweekends it was open til 1am on friday fright nights.
