Greg was a last minute addition to our Worlds of Fun trip and I was thrilled to have him with us as he's one of my favorite people to spend a day at a park with.



Cyclone Sam's is one of the most unique and fun spinning rides out there.  It's a "Wipe-out" ride placed in a barn that's all themed as if a tornado hit it.  I would have liked to ride it but Bond really didn't want to give it a re-ride after getting sick on it the last time so the two of us sat it out.



While the guys were giving Cyclone Sam's a whirl I got a hold of Brandon Stanley, Worlds of Fun's Public Relations Director whom I've known for a few years from meeting at various events.  I had emailed him the day prior that I was bringing a bunch of WOF newbies and after getting an email back to call him and playing phone tag a little bit he met up with all of us.  Before we knew it suddenly we found ourselves on a little behind the scenes tour which began at the bottom of Mamba's first drop.



One thing that really makes Mamba fun is that you get a great view of downtown Kansas City as the entire park is situated on a bluff over the Missouri River with Mamba on the high point overlooking the city.
