    Worlds Of Fun - Entrance to the Timber Wolf at night

    Worlds of Fun is not what it used to be. If the park opens, rides should be running. What's the…read morepoint of opening and having rides not running? We also bought a food pass and planned to get dinner, but restaurants that we could get food at close an hour before the park! Fury of the Nile had a short line, but they only had a boat running every 2 minutes, so it ended up being a super long wait. The snoopy area only had about half of the rides running. I would not recommend worlds of fun!

    Came here on a Friday in summer. Very hot. Limited shade. Pro was water refilling bottle…read morestations at every bathroom we saw. Got inside and headed to Plaza Gifts to get our fast passes. Proceeded to ride Zambezi Zinger and Viking Voyager with fast pass. Got into the FP line for Mamba. Proceeded to watch the employee let everyone in the non fast lane in before us. Comes over to tell us we have the wrong color wristband on. I explain this is what we were given and we have already ridden rides with it. They say supervisor will not allow us to ride, we have to get new updated bands. Trek back to the photo booth at the end of Mamba to get new bands, trek back up. This was one of the better rides in the park and a favorite from when I was a kid. Rides we rode and thoughts: 1. Cyclone Sam's- no fast pass but can hold a lot of people. Appreciated the a/c 2. Flying dutchman. Only rode since there was no line and appreciated the breeze 3. Fury of the Nile-was closed at the beginning of the day, opened. Appreciated it had fast pass. Please get the poor employees who work down there some shade. I felt so sorry for them. 4. Le Taxi Tour-says on their website has fast pass. it does not. Can take a while since families will have 10 different cars so every person in the family can "drive" 5. Mamba-see above 6. Patriot-had fast pass. Best ride there 7. Prowler-had fast pass. Pretty rough 8. Spinning dragons- has fast pass but you have to buy it? Band you buy for the day does not include it. LAME 9. Timberwolf - on their website says it is on fast pass but they do not have fast pass. ride closed while we were in line. Sad as this ride was around from when I was a kid and I wanted my kid to ride it. 10. Viking Voyager-had FP, used it, didn't need it. Was different than I remember it as a kid. Didn't get wet. 11. Zambezi Zinger-different than when I was kid. It was a good ride. Rides that were closed: 1. Skyliner- this is a ferris wheel 2. Steel Hawk-swings 3. Zulu-closed, one of my favorite rides when I was younger. 4. Scrambler-why is this on Fast pass? it was closed 5. Sea Dragon Rides we skipped cause we like the thrill rides: 1. Autobahn 2. Bamboozler- I wanted to ride for memories, kidlet said no, too similar to ride where we live 3. Detonator-it is so small. Like why is the tower so tall but the ride only goes up a small height? Ride similar to this where I live is 100 feet taller 4. Fjord Fairlane 5. Mustang Runner-on FP 6. Nordic Chaser Kidlet tried to get an icee but it took over 30 minutes because people kept cutting them in line. Found another icee place and got an icee. Kidlet said person working there was basically giving them to everyone for free. Did not eat at this park. Had up close parking and when I told the person they sent me to the same lot everyone else is parking in. Was sad that a place that held such fond memories from when I was a kid, was so unpleasant to visit as an adult. I don't live any where near here so will not be returning.

The 2 rides are pretty fun, my pre teens still like visiting and love Lego's. Decided to turn a no school day into a visit here after a year after my last visit. I've been for birthday parties and had season passes when my kiddos were littles. A bit of a bummer that the 3D Lego theater was down for maintenance but love that they have 4 different movies showing when it's up and running. Race track, ninja obstacle course, virtual game for an extra $7, snack bar and so much more were visited. Easily spend the day. Love that the tickets allow same day reentry but not a fan of the parking situation, it's a bit confusing but not terrible. Not enough to detour a visit but a heads up to prepare . Activity room as also closed, so if your wanting to ensure an all access visit, probably good to call ahead. Love that it's an option and worth the day visit!

    Super sad day for us taking our kids to WOF. Us adults were nostalgic for our teenage years and…read moreexcited to take our kids to a weekend at Worlds of Fun and Oceans of Fun. We arrived at the park at 10:30, I know this is before park opening at 11:00, but we wanted to be sure to hit the circuit running and be in line when the rides opened. At 11:30 the majority of the rides were still going through testing and not operating for passengers. We waited an hour for the Zamboni Zinger and after it was still not open, we decided to head off to other rides with less wait times (per the app). If the app says 45 minute wait time, expect and hour plus. Most of the larger rides were down multiple times throughout the day. We waited two hours for one ride that went down and we're told a "brief delay".....after another hour we threw in the towel. The jump the line passes allow for riders with a wrist band to enter a separate line, and even though they alternate regular with jump the line, if another ride in the park breaks down (which apparently happens frequently), the jump the line riders in the ride you are waiting in increases significantly. We left at 7 p.m. and ended up riding only 4 rides, three of which were the older, smaller, kiddie rides in the Western World. After $50+tax tickets and $30 parking, to say it was a disappointment is an understatement. The only redeeming qualities were the entertainment shows, but still not worth the ticket price for an amusement park, in my opinion. We scrapped Oceans of Fun altogether and completely changed our minds about a second day. If you must go, shell out the extra for the jump the line or better yet, save your money and see all the other (much better) attractions in the KC area!!

    Came here on a cloudy Thursday right at open. Staff at the parking was NOT helpful. I have the…read moreunclose parking and drove to the regular parking (that person was helpful told me I had to go back to the road, come in again and stop at hut at the bottom). Did that and stopped at the booth/hut. Staff stared at me until I rolled down my window to let them know I had up close parking. Was waved to a little lot super close to the booth that was farther away than the regular parking. It was nice for getting out but people who parked in the regular lot were closer and got to the front faster than we did. Getting into park. We were standing at the Fast Lane desk, waiting for the park to open. Divided and conquered to send one person in to ask about them, person inside said they would do fast passes. Got out of line, went inside they said "No I am coming outside." Got fast pass and headed for the Riptide Raceway. Fast pass not needed as there was no line. Lifeguard at the top was so nice. Giving us tips, was nice when my kid let go of the mat and they had to call for a lifeguard to go down the slide to get it out. This ride uses a foam mat with plastic handles in the front. Rode Aruba Tuba. It drops you off into Coconut Cove which is the kiddie pool (3 feet deep everywhere except where the ride drops you off) this pool was closed as they were doing lifeguard drills. Staff was pretty rude about not allowing you in the pool. Seems they should have finished with training/drills prior to open but what do I know. This ride has 2 person tube or single tube. Typhoon was closed. Sad as it was my favorite ride when I was a kid and I wanted my kid to experience it. Used fast pass for Hurricane falls. We were the only ones in fast pass lane and we got on super quick. Ride was meh. One at Hurricane Harbor in STL was more fun. This ride needs multiple people working it. The poor lifeguard had to walk out of the pool, grab the raft from the lift, bring it to the pool, hold it steady, load passengers, help them push off, then repeat. Ride operations would have been improved by 2 lifeguards. Did all 3 slides on Shark's revenge. The purple one is completely enclosed, dark and has glowy lights. These are tube rides where you can ride a 2 person tube or a single tube. I rode 1 of 3 of Predator's plunge. Red was closed and I rode orange. Allegedly yellow is "slower." These are the slides where you stand on a ledge, they close the plexiglass cover (like a coffin) there is a robotic countdown then you are dropped down. This is a body slide vs using a tube or raft. Kidlet spent lots of time in the wave pool and checked out Captain Kidd's even though some of the slides on there were closed. We skipped: Caribbean Cooler, Crocodile Island, Flamingo Beach club (21+) and splash island. Did not purchase food or snacks. Tried to use our Icee plan. Staff refused to help us. Said we had to go to guest services. Guest services stated staff lied and they can help us and to go back, tell them or look for a supervisor. I chose to go to a different area to get an icee and had no issues. We had 2 icees while there. Pina colada for me and cherry for kidlet. The lockers here were much better (they could be kept open until you were ready to close it) although the locker we had was located in a row with a huge puddle. I was surprised they did not send someone over to sweep/squeegee the water away. They had one water bottle refilling station on the men's restroom but it did not work. The person at the icee hut let me fill my water bottle there. We made it longer at this park than HHSTL (5 hours vs 2). It was fun to revisit a park from my youth and take my kid. If in the area again I would go back, even though this park will no longer be on my Six flags pass as they were purchased and are under the management of Enchanted parks now. Lots of room for improvement with guest interactions but was an enjoyable day.

    Wonderful day at Oceans of fun. Kids are having a great time. Almost everything is open. Super hot…read moretoday but plenty of seats still. The park is really clean overall. Guests seem happy here. Fun music playing by the wave pool and free ice water everywhere since it feels like it's 105 already. No issues at all keep it up guys. It's going to be a hot summer.
