So my first thought when this was announced is that this is WOF's answer to Fireman's Landing. SDC has been marketing it well this year, and it seems to have had a decent effect on attendance so far, rain not withstanding. They're probably drawing the younger family demographic out of the KC area better than WOF since WOF is probably seen as more of a big coaster/halloween haunt park. Seems like a family attraction arms race could be started...
What if SDC's next move is to add a mack family launched coaster, and then WOF responds with it's own family coaster.... If WOF does indeed get a dark ride, will it be designed well enough to compete with SDC's Flooded Mine/FITH? Will SDC rebuild one of it's classics to compete right back?
Lots of interesting possibilities here.
