Park News - (6/30/2026) According to Screamscape sources the Cosmic Coaster at Worlds of Fun has now been officially removed. The ride started out as the Wacky Worm when it opened here in 1993 through to 2011 when it was given a Planet Snoopy makeover. According to the rumor mill, the ride had an issue and was said not to have run at all this year. I’d expect the park to track down an available kiddie coaster as a replacement.
(4/8/2026) For those wondering, The Gravity Group is behind the latest refurbishment to the Timber Wolf at Worlds of Fun. A social media post by the company confirms that they are replacing three sections of the ride for 406 feet of their Engineered Precut Track. The interesting thing is that apparently a lot of coasters have secretly gone under the knife for this treatment, as The Gravity Group says that Timber Wolf is actually their 27th wooden roller coaster to feature have their Engineered Precut Track system installed.
(3/29/2026) While the future of the Worlds of Fun theme park is changing under new ownership, the park has made it clear that the park’s legendary Timber Wolf wooden coaster is not only back by popular demand, but that the ride is “Here to stay.” This comes as good news to many, as Timber Wolf sat closed for almost the entire 2025 season. You can follow along with the park’s latest Facebook posts about how they’ve been working on Timber Wolf, Prowler and other park attractions ahead of the 2026 season.
2027 - Nothing is known to be added at this point in time, nothing added in 2026 either.
