Another way to deal with the heat is to head into a store and do a
little browsing. Those air conditioning units that blow a wall of
air conditioned air down from above doors like here will get you nice and
cooled off.
Todd (aka: Gump) and Travis from Louisville grabbed Greg in St. Louis and
met up with us at Worlds of Fun for the day. Todd wanted to give the
Finnish Fling a ride. If you've ever wanted to spin around and stick
to a wall then this ride is for you. For me it made me queasy just
looking at it for a second.
Patriot, Prowler and Mamba are the rides that really make Worlds of Fun
shine so our plan was to ride them as much as possible after we got the
"WOF Newbies" (Mike, Todd and Travis) all of their coasters.
Thanks to the heat it was empty at Worlds of Fun. By empty I mean
the rides had no wait except for Prowler and the only reason for that was
that it was running only one train due to some sort of mechanical issue.
So we'd head to a ride, pick a seat and stay there for four or five rides
without getting off before heading to another one.
