Themeparkfanatic | Patriot at Worlds of Fun @woodencoasterfan | Uploaded August 2024 | Updated October 2024, 1 week ago.
This is the Patriot at Worlds of Fun and it is one of the best coasters at the park. This one is a Inverted coaster from B&M which means riders ride in trains that are hung below the tracks but are not allowed to swing freely like they do on Suspended coasters. This one is also pretty aggressive and has a few moments of airtime as well. Patriot opened here on April 8, 2006 replacing a classic, but aging, Arrow Dynamics coaster called the Orient Express. That coaster was one of only two coasters built with interlocking loops. The other being the Loch Ness Monster at Busch Gardens Williamsburg which is still operating today.
The Patriot is 3,081 ft long, 149 ft tall with a drop of 123 ft, a top speed of about 60 mph, and a ride time of about two minutes and eighteen seconds long. This coaster also has four inversions with a 89 ft tall loop, a zero-g roll, an Immelmann (a half loop entered from the bottom and exited at the top), and a corkscrew. I personally recommend riding in the front row as the view is spectacular with nothing in front of you.
