Pulling is past Prowler was Eli of the Worlds of Fun Railroad.  Eli has been pulling trains around Worlds of Fun since the park opened in 1973.  For the last couple of years he has been out of service getting a complete rehab and rebuild and this day was his triumphant return to the park.

We got a couple of great rides on Prowler during the day and were really looking forward to our hour of ERT after the park closed.

In those twenty-one years nothing has even come close to the visual impact that Mamba has at Worlds of Fun.  Built on one of the highest points not just in the park but the Kansas City area Mamba can be seen far and ride.

A nice bonus of heading to Worlds of Fun for the Grand Carnivale was getting to see our old friend Ezra.  I have fond memories of Ezra and Bond picking up all the bolts, nuts and coaster chain from under the Screamin' Eagle at Six Flags St Louis back in 2011.  Ezra makes some of the most amazing costumes and is now one of the people behind all of the costumes you see in the Grand Carnivale.
