Wild West World takes delivery of first ride

So any word on the proposed TWO roller coasters? I haven't been following this story. I know, I know; BAD Matt!

You can find all the information about the the park there.

cool, another Midwestern park to go to.

park looks pretty neat, looks to have a great flat collection:)

hey GCI and/or Gravity Group, u seeing this??? :)

Uh, the proper question would be, "Wild West World, are you seeing GCI or Gravity Group?" Parks go to coaster manufacturers when they want a ride, not the other way around.

I was suprised to find out this week that isn't always the case. At least for Gravity Group.

It'll be nice to see this park start taking shape. The themeing on all of the rides looks great.

I definitely see a really nice wooden coaster going in there in the next couple of years.

That "flume" pictured on the Wild West website looks more like a shoot the chutes to me. According to the website it is used, does anyone know where it is from?

I hope the park allows room to expand ad not be landlocked. Too many theme Parks seem to get too many neighbors. (Par. Gr. Am., for instance)

I think if they build all of these rides, they would be good to go for about 3 years before a proposed waterpark and large coaster/attraction are built.

There's lots of space out there. Not sure how much of it they own. Great location, though.

You're referring to this webpage, right? The photo on the left is a Hopkins Shoot-the-Chutes but the one on the right is a flume. However the layout, as seen here clearly shows a log flume.

They already have plenty of expansion room planned there so they should be fine. I'm really interested (being from Wichita and all) to see what happens when both Joyland and WWW opens up. Hope they can attract enough.

It looks like Chance/Morgan got shafted as they originally were supposed to supply at least five of the flat rides (if memory serves me correctly). The artwork for those rides appeared earlier this year.

Sorry... but everytime I read the name "Wild West World" the image of a robot gunfighter (that looks like Yul Brynner) going beserk comes to mind.

Zamperla Spinny Mouse and some other family coaster along with about 15 other Zamperla rides and assorted other mfg's.

This is all to get the park a start, Im sure if the return on investment is swift, Greater projects like Waldameer and Beech Bend are in order.

However, If it's not well recieve or takes time to grow, Look for it to be awhile.

FYI, I just received clarification that it is indeed a flume, formerly from Western Playland in El Paso. It is one of the few rides that was sold instead of being moved to Western Playland's new location.

What was that, fifteen rides from Zamperla? Geez, I hope they've hired enough mechanics. Only thing worse would have been ten rides from Chance-Morgan.
