Worlds of Fun To Welcome Roller Coaster Enthusiasts

Kansas City, MO -- Riding the world's greatest roller coasters is more than a pastime, it is a passion for coaster enthusiasts! On Saturday, May 19, coaster enthusiasts from across the country descend on Worlds of Fun amusement park for the second annual Coaster Mayhem, an exclusive event for roller coaster club members.

Enthusiasts from clubs such as American Coaster Enthusiasts, National Amusement Park Historical Association, Western New York Coaster Club, Mid Atlantic Coaster Club, and more converge on Worlds of Fun to conquer the park's lineup of scream machines. Coaster Mayhem participants enjoy morning and evening exclusive ride time (ERT) on four of the park's six coasters, including the huge Patriot inverted coaster. These experts discuss "negative g's" and "airtime" while enjoying rides, a catered meal, and Q&A time with Worlds of Fun staff.

"Coaster Mayhem is a great opportunity for coaster enthusiasts from all over the country to get together and do what we do best - scream," states Jeff Mast, Missouri Regional Representative for American Coaster Enthusiasts. "Not only do we get to spend the day together on a thrilling collection of rides at Worlds of Fun, but, we also get to meet other club members and swap coaster stories."
