This is Worlds of Fun’s 51st season. The park will also celebrate the 35th anniversary of the Timber Wolf roller coaster on May 25-26 and the 15th anniversary of the Prowler on June 22-23. Both weekends will include limited-edition merchandise, special food and more.
Worlds of Fun also announced it will no longer require a separate ticket for Halloween Haunt in the fall, like it did last year. Guests will be able to stay in the park from day to night and visit the horror fest.
This season, the park will add new family-focused events, including KC Summer Nights, a summer festival paying tribute to Kansas City, and KidZfest, an event for the whole family to attend.
