I went to Worlds of Fun during the summer between my junior and senior years of high school a couple of years after Orient Express opened. We were there early on a weekday, and for about 45 minutes or so there was almost no line. We'd ride the coaster, then run back and do it again. I think we rode it about 10 times in a row. That was great fun.

I loved that coaster when I was a kid, but I’d bet it would be pretty tame compared to what’s out there now.
I just went on the Velocicoaster at Universal a couple of weeks ago and that was one of the most insane rides I’ve been on. I would guess the Orient would be the third or fourth fastest roller coaster at that park. |

I wanted to make it back to Universal when I was in Florida a few months ago, but didn't make it to Orlando... went years ago and remember a couple rides at that time had far better velocity and what not than anything at WoF (much less something like Top Thrill Dragster that puts you a couple hundred feet in the air in like 3 seconds).

Yeah, it just looks like a tame prowler, but I loved the Zambi back in the day. The Timberwolf was too rickety, and the Orient Express, although fun, bounced your head back and forth off the restraints. Love the Patriot, the Prowler seems to be getting to be a rougher ride to where I think the ride operators are like, lets speed this up I wanna grab some lunch. I'll ride this one, but it'll be like a Spinning Dragons for me.

I think SDC is miles ahead of WOF. Their new time machine coaster is absolutely insane, spinning while going over loops upside down is intense. Wildfire is a great coaster, Outlaw run is the most fun I've had on a wooden roller coaster and Powder Keg is unlike anything WOF has with the 0-55 in 2.8 seconds. Thunderation is also a fun little coaster that seems similar to the Zinger. Plus the kids stuff is great.

I absolutely hate spinning rides. But once after having like 12 margaritas at the adult pool at Oceans of Fun i had enough liquid courage to board the Zulu.
I barely made it to the bathroom before i puked my guts out. Never again will i ride a spinning ride. |

I used to love roller coasters and high adrenaline activities.
I think something changed in my inner ear or something because the last time I took my kids to a theme park, I got motion sick on very basic rides that went in circles. I did ok on the big coasters at Silver Dollar City but my days of that shit are lessening in interest. |

With far better treatment, food and accommodations, too. Nursing homes are perversely expensive and from what I've seen, generally awful places.
