From here on out, Saturdays will be nuts at Worlds of Fun once the "WITCHING HOUR" starts.
Just warning you.  Also if you DO come and it is after 4pm, go park in the Oceans of Fun parking lot instead.  A lot easier in and out traffic.  Trust me.

For the past few years Saturdays have always been a mad house. Haunt really started to boom when Overlord arrived.

For you die hard fans of spooky stuff I have the ultimate weekend Halloween experience for the KC area. Friday night go to WoF for Haunt, less crowded on Friday. On Saturday morning/afternoon go sight see KC and come by night hit up the Beast and Edge of Hell. I did this a couple of weeks ago, even tho by Sunday I was walking like a penguin it was well worth it.

yeah, ya did catch me on some things. :D it was only my 2nd time, in 5-6 years, going to this deal. have you gone thru any of these?

No, didnt get to go thru Zombie High. We did Fright Zone - Doll Factory - Corn Stalkers - Asylum Island - London Terror - CarnEvil, & Lore of the Vampire. I liked Corn Stalkers best cause it was out in the woods.

Yup I have been through them all. It's a family tradition to go every year during the fall season since I was born. My top favorites are a tie, Asylum Island and Cornstalkers with Zombie High as a close second. I like Cornstalkers because the actors blend in with the corn so you have no idea where they could be hiding. Asylum Island ties with it because of the creepy/gore factor it has.

Did you catch the Overlords Awakening ceremony?

If you go to HAUNT and do not buy a Fright Lane Pass (and especially if it is a Saturday) - I don't feel sorry for you one bit for having to wait in long lines.


Swoosh is right If you're planning on coming to Haunt it is wise to buy a Fright Lane Pass. On Saturdays lines can run 1 to 2 plus hour wait.

I've never been to Worlds of Fun, but I've been wanting to. I get the chance in March 2013 when the local high school band that my sister is in goes to KC for a few days to play at various places. Worlds of Fun is one of the places they are playing at, so I'm excited for that.

Hey guys long time stalker of the forums, just dropping in to tell you Worlds of Fun usually opens for the season on the second Saturday in April.

I used to like WOF, but the last time we there a few years ago, the theming had really gone awry. Talk about not in Miss Mary's time, a 50's diner in Africa? Come on!


The late 90s to early 2000s was definitely the "dark" ages of Worlds of Fun where random stuff was being built out of theme to the area, however, the past couple of seasons the park has been making an effort to stick to most the theme. Thinking about it now about the only thing I can remember being out of theme, that still stands, is the sock hop diner.

But overall, SDC will always win for me because of the quality and pricing of the food, the quality of the entertainment, and the cleanliness and friendliness (although, I do have to give some credit to Six Flags -- they were touting their cleanliness this year, and it really was very well kept up; their employees, too, didn't seem as resentful about being there as the kids working at Worlds of Fun always do).

This season Worlds of Fun has cracked down on employee moral by adding friendly competition among one another. If I'm remembering right the crew that wins at the end of each week gets a plaque at their stations and they get some kind of an award, cant remember exactly. It seems to be working because every employee this season, that i have seen, has been very cheerful and eager to work.
