Answer
The park is themed around the Jules Verne book, Around the World in Eighty Days. Worlds of Fun is divided into five major sections (Scandinavia, Africa, Europa, the Orient, and Americana). Rides, attractions, shops, shows, and restaurants are named according to the area theme. Within Americana, Camp Snoopy (the area of the park specifically for young children), could be considered the sixth major section. Originally added as an expansion of Americana, over the years the ground currently occupied by Camp Snoopy has changed its identity several times. Initially it was called "Aerodrome" (1978-86) with futuristic rides for adults, it then became a children's area called "Pandamonium!" (1987-97), then "Berenstain Bear Country" (1997â2000), and currently "Camp Snoopy" (2001âpresent)).
The park's main entrance was originally located in Americana, where the Grand Prix is located now. The Scandinavia entrance was transformed from the "back entrance" into the "main entrance".
Despite the lack of an Australian/Oceanic section, two Australian-themed rides round their ways into other sections: Boomerang in Africa, and Bounce-A-Roos in Europa.
[edit] Worlds of Fun Village
In 2005 Worlds of Fun opened the first on site resort. The camp ground is adjacent to the park, and is located "behind" the Mamba. The Village has 22 cabins and 20 cottages and 82 sites for RVs, complete with electric and TV cable hook ups. Each cabin or cottage can fit from 6-8 people.

[edit] Other notable rides

Fury of the Nile (1984), the first and only river rafting ride whose water is stored in a trough instead of a river or stream every night. It also was the first to have a turnstile-type loading dock.

Isn't this incredibly unfair? (NH scooter law)?
roso159
I'm 14. I tried out this AWESOME exletric scooter at my friend's house, and I was so "revved up" when I got home, I was ready to buy one for myself. I was really excited! I told my mom, and she said we should call the state motor vehicles department to see if that would be okay for an underage kid to ride an electric scooter around. Turns out you have to be 16 to ride an electric scooter, even a mini one, and even if you ride on quiet roads!!! NO. FAIR. So I have to wait until I'm 16 to get my lovely scooter? By then, I'll have a car! Also, I'll probably be to big for it! What gives?
What I also think is unfair is that there are dozens of positive reviews for it on Amazon.com that say "oo! I bought i for my 9- 11- 12- 8- 7- whatever- year old and she loves it!!" BUT IT'S ILLEGAL!
GAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.
