Get there early and go to the ride you want to ride the most and ride it a bunch. I used to head straight to Mamba and had little to no line and could easily pop out 5 rides or more before people got done riding Patriot and Timberwolf, then headed over to Mamba. With Prowler being new this year I would assume much the same will apply.

If you're going on a Friday I doubt that you'll be waiting very long for anything.

I'd guesstimate 15 minutes or less for all of the big rides.

Did that exact same thing last year with Timber Wolf but this year it'll be different. Running straight to Prowler. Then gonna snag a Mamba ride then hit Timber Wolf or Detonator one of those to. I got this thing planned out for some reason.

wait are you going to the park before school is "out" for the summer? If you are, then your waits may be longer due to school trips.

Prowler182 · « **Reply #3544 on:** May 18, 2009, 02:56 »

I have no clue when school lets out in the KC Area and was wondering to if anyone knew when they let out. I go the second week of June.

I'm curious mainly to how long I'll wait for Prowler. Most I've ever had to wait at Worlds of Fun was almost 30 minutes for Spinning Dragons, but it was well worth it. I had a bunch of fun on the ride. But they were quick about getting the line moving and I can only assume Prowler will be quick to. I'm also hoping that the Dragons line is short this year because im kinda anxious to ride it again. Can anyone say the average wait in early June for the parks rides?

Prowler has averaged 30 minutes to at most an hour with two trains; the hour wait was because the line was backed up to the photo booth this past saturday

Ya I had heard this weekend was pretty busy and that's great news for the park. I'm very glad to hear that Prowler is a hit. It looks to be an instant classic, phenomenal ride and I'll judge it once I get on it.

Sorry to hijack the Prowler thread, but, I haven't seen a response about TW's second train. Is it in rehab still, or worse yet, gone for good?

Jason · « **Reply #3548 on:** May 22, 2009, 06:28 »

Hijack away.

One of the employees posted an update in another thread. Here's his quote.

Good news!! I was out in the park having fun and the second train of Timber Wolf is ready to go...but it's broken into its individual cars outside the station. They hope to have it ready by this upcoming week.

This was answered I think in the ask an employee thread. It is ready to go back on the track any day now.

Prowler182 · « **Reply #3550 on:** May 22, 2009, 03:16 »

So odds are by my trip in June they MIGHT be running two trains this year. If the line gets long and goes outside the station I hope they'll throw the 2nd train on.

tonyblackjack · « **Reply #3551 on:** May 23, 2009, 09:51 »

Go on Saturday and they will most likely be running 2 trains

SVLFever · « **Reply #3552 on:** May 24, 2009, 05:24 »

Thanks guys!

Prowler182 · « **Reply #3553 on:** May 24, 2009, 08:06 »

Well I just found out I'm possibly going on a Friday and Saturday in June instead of just Friday. My goal of hitting 50 rides on Timber Wolf is only 40 rides away haha. I'm also trying to get as many as I can on Prowler this summer.

Cory · « **Reply #3554 on:** May 25, 2009, 04:01 »

So I just wanted to say that I rode this thing in the middle of the 10 minutes of rain we got yesterday...and it was absolutely insane. I've only had a couple coaster rides ever that can compare (I'm talking Millennium Force's last ride of the night kind of stuff)... It was great.

Once the KC heat hits and the ride really breaks in, it's gonna be a top 10 woodie IMO. I don't see how it wouldn't be.

Prowler182 · « **Reply #3555 on:** May 25, 2009, 04:11 »

I'm hoping the heat comes by June for my trip. Would be awesome to see Prowler reach my top 5 or even my favorite wooden because right now my favorite woodie is Timber Wolf.

im going to be there today hopefully the chance of rain scared people off

Looks outside at the downpouring rain

hmm... looks like a little bit more than a "chance"

Jason · « **Reply #3558 on:** May 26, 2009, 08:40 »

It's stopped raining here about an hour ago and they're saying it should stay dry the rest of the day. It should be a great day to score a short wait.

caddesigner · « **Reply #3559 on:** May 26, 2009, 01:38 »

We rode yesterday when it started to drizzle and IMO it seemed the ride was alot faster then usual when the rain mixed with the grease...

zztop · « **Reply #3560 on:** May 26, 2009, 02:28 »

it didn't rain at all while i was at worlds of fun today not a lot of people the parking lot was only half full only bad part was all the school trips

Prowler182 · « **Reply #3561 on:** May 26, 2009, 03:18 »

Well I'm still praying for some pretty good weather when I come out. It'd be nice to see low crowds and perfect riding weather like last time.

Pete · « **Reply #3562 on:** May 27, 2009, 12:11 »

Prowler is amazing!

Out of your seat the whole time, so crazy!

My question is: what are those brushes right by the entrance to the station for?

Ken12 · « **Reply #3563 on:** May 27, 2009, 12:49 »

To keep fingers out. If you feel the brushes you will hopefully react...and also have to clean your hand as I hear they are pretty greasy!

tonyblackjack · « **Reply #3564 on:** May 27, 2009, 02:41 »

Those are to clean the wheels I believe.

That is correct and is their sole purpose.

smileyboy57 · « **Reply #3566 on:** May 27, 2009, 08:10 »

Getting a finger caught between the station and the train would result in one totally gone finger!

Why was Prowler down this morning?

Ben · « **Reply #3568 on:** May 27, 2009, 09:25 »

^ Maybe cause Prowlers not the newest GCI anymore... I am sure it's something that could make any of us feel a little down.

Adam420 · « **Reply #3569 on:** May 28, 2009, 04:08 »

I still have yet to make it to WoF this year...maybe in a few weeks

Can't wait to ride Prowler.
