Wild West World Closes After Short Run

July 16, 2007

Wild West World Open As Long As a Hollywood Marriage
After only two months in operation the managing company for Wild West World has declared bankruptcy. Sadly, Kansans will have to look elsewhere for their roller coaster thrills. At least an old wooden coaster reopened last year after being dormant for nearly 60 years. The coaster was renamed Nightmare and is also located in Wichita at Joyland. There’s a success story!

For more details on the short-lived Wild West World see ThrillNetwork.

Anyone from that neck of the woods distraught over WWW’s early closing? Does anyone have any insight into its closing or chances of re-opening? Leave a comment below.
