1986 Worlds Of Fun Theme Park Map Takes Me Back

Posted by Bradley under Kansas City, Personal

worlds-of-fun-map-1989

Remember when admission to Worlds of Fun was $14.95 and such awesomeness as the AMC Incred-O-Dome Theatre, Omegatron and the Wobble Wheel still existed?

Theme Park Maps has a great collection of propaganda from the park’s 1980’s heyday.

Maps and brochures from most theme parks across the US are also available if you care not to recall the teenage horror of centrifugally-vomiting inside the Finish Fling. :)

    Don’t forget about the Zambeze Zinger… or however you spell it! There weren’t even seatbelts on that one! Remember that? Crazy.

    Is the Zulu still around? That’s the best way to break the tension with your date at WOF because they’ll end up being ground into your crotch for the next 7 minutes.
