Seriously World's Of Fun it could be so much better, but not much worse!

My impressions of World's Of Fun, first they need to change the name to reflect the feel of the park, something like ""Don't Bother Coming Here Because We Quit Trying Years Ago"". The original park infastructure looks like it hasn't seen any regular maintenance since Hunt Midwest sold it in '95. The wooden supports on the buildings are rotting away, they have painted over rust on the steel structures. The park seems horribly understaffed, and the staff they do have is about as enthusiastic as your local Wal-Mart checker and much younger. The lack of staff is reflected all over the park, the bathrooms were disgusting, the loading and unloading of rides took 3 times longer than it should, the water all over the park is now a nasty shade of sewer water with a scent to match. Don't even think about the Fury Of The Nile unless you're caught up on all your shots as there is no telling what kind of bacteria is in the water and the rafts. The food isn't even up to carnival quality, but the prices keep going up, I mean seriously how hard is it to warm up a decent tasting hotdog? The great classic rides, that haven't been dismantled, are probably close to meeting the same fate as the Orient and the Zambizi Zinger. It looks as though they have only spent money on the coasters, which are still fun, but the rest of the experience was horribly disappointing and unfortunately it is someplace I will not be returning to unless there are some big changes for the better. I'm sure I missed something else that disgusted me, but you get the idea.
