Prowler, the new for 2009 Wooden Coaster at Worlds of Fun, Kansas City, Missouri

Like GCI's Thunderhead at Dollywood, Worlds of Fun's Prowler has a separate building for it's transfer track and train storage that you pass through after the brake run on your way back to the station.  As you can see there are still lots to do such as  to finish tracking the ride, installing electronics and of course adding the trains.

Moving on to the meat of the ride, Prowler is going to be an airtime filled machine with low to the ground hills like this.

Looking at all of these hills I have to say that Prowler is a bad name for this ride.

They should have themed it to the Flintstones and called it "Bam Bam" after Barny and Betty Rubbles son because it's full of "bam bam".  "Bam bam is a phrase used by GCI's Jeff Pike & Chris Grey to describe the Ozark Wildcat's ending that consists of two airtime filled hills that the ride takes in rapid succession that really makes that ride.  Just  looking at this view Prowler has way more than a couple of bam bam's to it.
