Treating the 50th Anniversary of the parks opening as a big of a deal as
it is, Worlds of Fun decided to put the parks history on display in the
Tivoli Theater.
The Exhibition for Worlds of Fun's 50th anniversary was put together
with the Lamar Hunt Family.
If you don't know who Lamar Hunt is then there's plenty for you to learn
about in the 50th Exhibition. Lamar Hunt was a businessman who
founded the American Football League before it was folded into the NFL.
He owned the Kansas City Chief's and was the person who came up with the
name "Superbowl" for the NFL Championship. In Kansas City he had
several business ventures including the SubTropolis, which is the worlds
largest underground business complex. On top of all of that his
crowning achievement is a little park that he built on the ground above
the SubTropolis called Worlds of Fun.
Worlds of Fun really went all out with everything that put on display.
There is so much in here to look at and read you could spend hours
pouring all over it.
Of course there is a ton of Worlds of Fun memorabilia from throughout
the years on display.
