With Worlds of Fun focusing on bringing theming back to the park it was nice seeing themed signs for each of the themed areas.

I am thrilled to see little things like this all over the park because these are the little touches that used to make the local theme park back in the 1970's a special place where one left the real world behind. In the years between then and now many chains have removed theming, brought the real world into the parks (advertising for example) and lost that magical feel. I am thrilled that Worlds of Fun gets that the little things are what make the experiences that they provide unique. More parks; even some of them from other chains, need to follow this lead.

Working our way through Africa the guys had to take Zulu for a spin. Zulu is an Enterprise ride built by Huss. It opened at Worlds of Fun in 1979.

Hidden behind Zulu and the Worlds of Fun Railroad lurking deep in the woods is Prowler.

Prowler is running well but I have to say that it is now my second favorite wooden coaster at Worlds of Fun behind the reborn Timber Wolf.
