Whats going on at Worlds Of Fun?

BooBlast! is an annual Halloween event sponsored by Worlds Of Fun for kids of all ages. It runs from Sept 26 - Oct. 18, 1998. 1998 seems to be the best year for this halloween festival since in addition to the attractions listed on the Worlds Of Fun site they will also be adding some little creative additions this year. Such as coloring the water of the Fury of the Nile and Viking Voyager red, also they will both have an empty boat filled with skeletons (ghost riders). Also Europa and Africa will be decked out heavily for this celebration including a cemetary that includes a coffin for Bill Clinton! For more information click on the logo above.
