It was built by Great Coasters International and opened May 2, 2009 at an estimated cost of 8 million USD.[1] The rideProwler is the second wooden roller coaster to be built at Worlds of Fun with the first one being Timber Wolf. The ride reaches an unspecified height of 85 feet, into a spiral drop which swoops into a ravine and through the woods at the top speed of 51 MPH.[1] The ride is located in the Africa section of the park behind the Zulu Ride.[1] Prowler has an estimated capacity of 850 riders per hour. It is the third ride to occupy that current spot at the park that the ride is operating in; originally home to the Safari Adventure, and the Python Plunge (later renamed The Plunge). The lot was vacant from the Plunge's close in 1999 to the Prowler's opening in 2009.[2] The ride's layout (darting in and out of the woods) and promotional material (logo and tagline) makes reference to the famous wooden coaster The Beast at Kings Island, another Cedar Fair park near Cincinnati, Ohio. TrainsTwo "Millennium Flyer trains" with 12 cars per train. Riders are arranged two across in a single row for a total of 24 riders per train. The HypeBefore the announcement of the new ride, there were teasers put out by the park. These teasers included placing a mysterious large storage crate at the front of the park, which was 'delivered' by the "International Wildlife Organization" or the "IWO".[3] More details of the package kept coming out through the blog and videos came out [4][5][6] as the IWO storyline continued until the main announcement of the ride on September 1, 2008.[1] RankingsProwler was voted Best New Ride of 2009 - Amusement Park in Amusement Today's Golden Ticket Awards.[7] {{GTA table| type = wood | accessdate = September 13, 2016 | 2009 = 8 | 2010 = 12 | 2011 = 10 | 2012 = 13 | 2013 = 12 | 2014 = 12 | 2015 = 17 | 2016 = 14 | 2017 = 27 | 2018 = 30 (tie) }} GalleryReferences1. ^1 2 3 Worlds of Fun Announces a new king of the jungle for 2009: Prowler Roller Coaster RCDB September 1, 2008 2. ^[worldsoffun.org Timeline of Worlds of Fun] 3. ^Confidential Delivery {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110928195626/http://www.worldsoffun.com/public/news/blog/index.cfm?entry=dd56ecb2-4f62-4bf1-868e-5e0bd2682921 |date=2011-09-28 }} Hot Air Blog with Brandon Stanley July 6, 2008 4. ^[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IKJrBQMyDFc Worlds of Fun Delivery IWO] YouTube.com 5. ^[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=REQ8D-eYqMA Worlds of Fun IWO Press Conference] YouTube.com 6. ^[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p_TPyPj6z68 Worlds of Fun IWO Beast Footage] YouTube.com 7. ^2009 Golden Ticket Awards External links{{Commons category|Prowler (roller coaster)}}
