News: Rides arrive at Wild West World

Posted at 7:09 PM EST (0009 GMT)

Nov. 21st, 2005 -- The park isn't slated to open for another 18 months, but the first ride is already on its way. The cowboy-themed Wild West World in Park City, KS, will receive it's first ride this week, a 50-foot-tall log flume.

The park's other rides will be added in summer. Wild West World officials will spend $10 million to purchase rides, including two roller coasters, from Chance Morgan and Zamperla. Sewer lines and storm drains have already been installed.

The $17 million theme park is scheduled to open in May of 2007.

When I first heard about this park, I thought it was another one of those "pie in the sky" dreams that never had a chance of happening. But here it is, with the first rides arriving. I really like it when I'm wrong and eating crow about something like that. Hoping for big success for it. They've come through a heck of a lot to get to this point. In many ways, it should actually be easier from here on out. Good for them!

It will be a slow start for them since they're only getting a few rides but I wouldn't expect a huge park right from the start. Hopefully in time, it can become a cool bigger park.
