Worlds of Fun is pleased to announce it will be adding two new unique and thrilling rides in 2017, as well as a completely redesigned front gate to enhance the guest experience next season.
Mustang Runner – Three arms with seven gondolas per arm turn one way while the base of the ride spins the other way.
Falcon’s Flight – A hair-raising thrill at nearly 100 feet above the ground. This ride spins and rises at the same time with more than 50 riders at a time.
“We couldn’t be more pleased to add two new rides for guests to enjoy. These classic amusement park rides will add thrills unlike anything in the Midwest.” said Worlds of Fun General Manager, Frank Wilburn.

But that's not all. Families will be able to ring in the holidays next season and enjoy what is sure to be a new family tradition. WinterFest is coming to Worlds of Fun, showcasing 14 favorite holiday characters, spectacular light displays, ice skating, and festive live entertainment. The park will be transformed into a winter wonderland for six weeks beginning November 24, 2017.

“While rides and water slides are the focus for the summer, we pride ourselves on creating memories for families. What better way to create more memories than during Winterfest by starting a new holiday family tradition in Kansas City,” Wilburn added.

WinterFest is included with the purchase of a 2017 Gold Season Pass.
2017 passes are on sale now and also include one visit to the park in 2016.

Whoops, completely forgot about Mystic Timbers. As for Kings Dominion, have there even been rumors of a new coaster?

Hell, just making the current one easier to find and not look like a back entrance would be an improvement.

I'd like to say that KD is getting a Launched Wing Rider and a new Front Gate Entrance...
But that's a pipe dream.
