Schussboomer

The Schussboomer was a steel roller coaster at Worlds of Fun amusement park featuring green-colored track and metal support structures throughout. The ride began with a chain lift that climbed to its highest point and then descended through a series of curves and spiral elements.

This Schwarzkopf-manufactured Wildcat-type coaster operated from May 1973 until 1984 at Worlds of Fun. The ride represented an important attraction during the park's early years of operation.

The roller coaster design reflected the early 1970s engineering approach, focusing on speed and helix elements rather than inversions or complex configurations.

The coaster transported around 900 passengers per hour across its full course using ten cars with four seats each. Visitors should expect standard wait times, particularly during peak hours and weekend days.

The ride was a Schwarzkopf Wildcat, a popular early 1970s design that emphasized speed and spiral turns without using complex inversions. This model became known as a reliable and efficient concept for mid-sized amusement parks.
