On the Prowl at Worlds of Fun- New Coaster Video and Photos

Thursday May 7, 2009
The Kansas City, Missouri park, Worlds of Fun, just upped the fun quotient with the opening of Prowler, its new wooden coaster. The terrain coaster, which is built into a ravine and flies past trees as it hugs the ground, reaches a top speed of 51 mph. You can see images of the coaster in action in my Worlds of Fun photo gallery, and you can take a virtual ride on the Prowler Onboard Point-of-View video.

Aw roller coasters - my wife lived for those rides [ me not so much ] but with her having high blood pressure - it makes it hard for her to ride [ good for me - scardy cat I am ].
