I have a single picture to sum up what management is like at Valleyfair now these days…
Gum, coins, and other crap have been stuck to an uncovered post in Renegade's Queue. The whole queue is filled with graffiti and crap like this.
I do not have pictures to share, but I will be posting a written trip report later this week....
I was able to take a few minutes to talk to Brandon Stanley, Public Relations Manger at Worlds of Fun in Kansas City, MO. Take a listen to our interview below! We discuss everything from how the season is going, to Prowler, plus we get his thoughts on Cedar Fair’s announcement of possibly selling the park earlier this year.

Six Flags has opened another “Roller Coaster Cuts” kids’ hair salon. You can find this new location in the town of King of Prussia, PA, at the King of Prussia Mall outside Philadelphia.

Recently on the way down to Chicago, I stopped at Mt. Olympus Water & Theme Park in Wisconsin Dells, WI. Mt. Olympus is the largest park in Wisconsin Dells featuring 4 huge wooden coasters and 2 smaller steel coasters. The top dog of their coasters is Hades, which has been ranked one of the top 10 the past 4 years....
Rising above Wisconsin Dells at Mt. Olympus Water & Theme Park 136 feet is the monster named “Hades”. This coaster exploded onto the scene in 2005 and quickly was ranked one of the top 10 wooden coasters in the world. It was also the first coaster built by The Gravity Group, the builders of the #1 wooden coaster “The Voyage” at Holiday World, and the first wooden coaster in China, “Fireball” at Happy Valley. Unlike most coasters that stay above the ground the whole time, Hades takes it to the next level. It features the longest underground tunnel in the world on any coaster, both wooden or steel. What you get is a coaster that is both fast, intense, and in the dark!
Hello, and welcome to Park Thoughts, a new blog about Amusement Parks!
You maybe thinking that this is going to be another one of these lame blogs about coasters. Well, it’s not! We will be posting honest opinions about topics in the news right now. After park trips, we’ll post reviews and give our general thoughts. Our Park Thoughts.
