    Timber Wolf at Worlds of Fun closed for the season

    Just updating that I visited during Passholder Preview a few weeks ago and then again just this past weekend. I got a few rides on Mamba both days to see if I noticed anything. During PP the site was completely empty and this past weekend it was filled with pickup trucks and there were people...

    Timber Wolf at Worlds of Fun closed for the season

    I think their relationship is kind of assumed. I've tried finding concrete evidence of this and haven't found much. It's a pretty fair assumption considering RMC built three coasters for them in one year and they all had major issues, however, one of those rides was a prototype and another was a...

    Timber Wolf at Worlds of Fun closed for the season

    Cedar Fair is still operating their parks even though they're under SF ownership so it's pretty unlikely that it's an RMC conversion or RMC project in any capacity... even though this is exactly the move they need to do. Like you said, with the 2026 World Cup coming up, it's a huge opportunity...

    Worlds of Fun | Zambezi Zinger | GCI (partial) Titan Track | 2023

    I grabbed an image from the animation and figured it looks like the first drop is going to be around 55°, so slightly steeper than Timber Wolf. Definitely going to be a lot more intense than old Zinger's drop.

    Worlds of Fun | Zambezi Zinger | GCI (partial) Titan Track | 2023

    I'm mostly going off of what GCI has said a few times in interviews at IAAPA, that they want to make sure their rides maintain the experience of a wooden coaster. I'd absolutely love to see GCI do full Titan rehabs and ground ups. They can start with Timber Wolf because that thing still sucks...

    Worlds of Fun | Zambezi Zinger | GCI (partial) Titan Track | 2023

    I think one interesting thing about the reveal of this coaster, along with with what GCI has said in interviews, is it seems they are committed to building wooden coasters and want to stay that way. It seems like the purpose of the Titan track is simply to allow their wooden coasters to do...

    I think the thing you're buying is thinking he actually knew something you didn't

    GCI I don’t think it’s a long shot. They’ve hinted at this in interviews.

    I know GCI isn't really known for innovation and breaking records, but a part of me hopes they're going to try to do something a little wild since they made it clear that they want to compete with RMC.

    My initial thought that Safari Tours was the name or a part of the name, because they wouldn't capitalize it like that if it weren't. Another thought I had was that "Safari Tours" could just be a part of the theming/story of the ride like how the Miami River Lumber Company is a part of Mystic...

    Worlds of Fun | Zambezi Zinger | GCI (partial) Titan Track | 2023

    I've been keeping an eye on it for the past few weeks just in case, but trademarks can take up to a year to get approved and don't generally show up in the database for several months after they're submitted. Rides are generally announced long before TESS tips anything off...

    According to what source? Just curious

    Worlds of Fun | Zambezi Zinger | GCI (partial) Titan Track | 2023

    I've had a gut feeling this was going to be a family coaster since the early rumors that it was a modern version of Zinger. The only family coaster that WOF has right now is Spinning Dragons and those spinners don't always appeal to everyone. As much as I'd be disappointed, a family wooden...

    Dollywood did the same thing when they teased Big Bear Mountain, posting tweets with "Big Bear" capitalized.

    "Safari Tours" is capitalized, alluding to that being the name of the ride. I feel like if that is the case, this is going to be a family coaster.
