Worlds of Fun Off Season Tour Jan 30, 2012

So while SOME OF US worked today, Jeff got to go out to Worlds of Fun... However I am also 100% sure I am not the only one who wants to know whats going on at 4545 Worlds of Fun Avenue. Of course, wouldn't you know the winter that the weather is perfect... the park isn't doing any major construction.

With that being said, there is a little action going on at the park... so let's take a look.

First starting in Scandinavia, All Stars Grill wood trim is getting some love...

I'm sure I have gotten a couple of "huh?" moments when I have written or spoken before about Baltic Bazaar. I didn't make it up, Baltic Bazaar was the original name of this tiny Scandinavian shopping area, and as since no one has bothered to come up with ANY other options since the 70's... that's what it's called. So far it looks unchanged... However I doubt it will stay that way for long.

Scandi Skees also shows some movement... I can see the future EBAY listing... "24 Slightly Used and Slightly Exciting Skeeball Games..." (that's a joke don't everyone go run off to EBAY)

Since not a lot of excitement going on in Scandinavia (for the moment) I figured I would change gears to "Just Took a Picture of it Because it was Cool" moment. Found in the old Orient Photo booth... I believe this is a diagram of the Spinning Dragons car.

And some Patriot seat backs... in Patriot's basement.

Now what about Americana's OTHER coaster? (not Wacky Worm I mean the other REAL coaster) Timberwolf... Though there are no photos to show you, Timberwolf is also seeing a continuation of the its track rehabilitation program. This year it looks like the last half of the 580 degree helix will be getting retracked.

Moving on...

Oh, look its Detonator...

Wait a minute something is missing here...

As an after thought, am I the only person who thinks that the thought of a Detonator rehab makes them feel old? I mean 1996 wasn't that LONG ago, or was it? Yikes. Detonator IS 15 years old... *SIGH*

This spot is reserved for future ranting about Worlds of Fun's first Front of the Line pass option... But for your viewing enjoyment here are the new steps for Detonator's Front of the Line entrance.

So as we all know now, Wacky Worm will be moving in Planet Snoopy to the place once occupied by the Too Too Train. Here is the previous location of said train...

Here is the Wacky Worm...

A little bit closer look at the station area... You know I don't even remember if the park usually left the train there or not during the off season?

Some movement of track...

Keep watching for future updates!
