Event Details
Patriot Media Day at Worlds of Fun has arrived. This Media Day event began with an early 530 am check in registration. I arrived at 530 to be a fill in for the media broadcasts that were being done by the local media. I spent the early morning hours getting lots of rides on Patriot an inverted roller coaster built by B&M. The new roller coaster features a drop, loop, zero-G roll, immelmann, high bank turn, fly over the station into a flat spin around into the brake run. The official announcement of Patriot came around 930 am with the VP and GM Phil Binder doing the honors. After the announcement everybody enjoyed several more hours of riding Patriot and some lunch that was provided by WOF. I ended up riding Patriot around 60 times during the preview. Below are some photos from the Media Day showing the announcement, a few photos of the ride, a crystal display gift and my onride photo. There is also a link to a page with lots more Patriot photos from the Media Preview. Many thanks to Worlds of Fun for the invite into this special Media Preview it was a blast.
Enjoy!!!
