One of my favorite traditional woodies. It blows through the layout and has me constantly shouting "Whoa!!" It's filled with great airtimes, snappy transitions and nice laterals. The front and back provide smooth rides and are where the airtimes really pop. I avoid the middle seats because they rattle a bit too much, but the front and back put Prowler in my top 25. The curving drop isn't very big, but I love how it picks up speed going into the curve, and it's one of my favorite first drops. I got in 12 rides in two hours. I could ride this thing forever. LOVE Prowler!

GCI sure can design a wooden roller coaster. This animal is kept in a wooded area which means the best time to ride it is when it's getting dark. Even in daylight, it's a thrill to ride with it's dives and twists and turns and the landscape just makes it more fun. This one also has just enough roughness to make you throw up that theme park candy you ate right before getting on. This is a great overall roller coaster.

Fantastic, great lats great airtime and some of the best pacing of any coaster I have ridden. The first drop gives lats and strong airtime. I haven’t gotten one but I would imagine the night ride woul...

Was a lot better when I visited 10 years ago. Noticeable rattle now and seems to have lost a lot of the ejector airtime. I actually got more in the middle of a train vs the back. Not sure if it was train dependent. WOF line up is pretty weak so this is still one of the better coasters but mamba is now my fav vs prowler.

Guys prowler is fun dont get me wrong, but it is just way too overhyped. I was told going into this that prowler was the best ride at worlds of fun, but no. Its not even second! Although I will say th...

Guys prowler is fun dont get me wrong, but it is just way too overhyped. I was told going into this that prowler was the best ride at worlds of fun, but no. Its not even second! Although I will say that the suprise speed of this ride does make it fun but the drop is very lackluster and the theming isnt all that great. 3.5 stars and a 7/10

Fantastic, and super underrated, Prowler is an elite woodie at a less than elite park. The wooded location is expertly used with the layout of the ride; and there is a deluxe assortment of airtime to enjoy, including a wonderful sustained airtime moment mid-way through the ride. It's a shame that this ride doesn't get the recognition it deserves.

Lap bars are too tight against the stomach. Ride is very rough. Only good things are the track elements to give it the title of being a wooden twister roller coaster. Save the stress and ride the new ...

Lap bars are too tight against the stomach. Ride is very rough. Only good things are the track elements to give it the title of being a wooden twister roller coaster. Save the stress and ride the new Zambezi Zinger and the legendary Timber Wolf instead. Don’t even waste your money buying an on-ride photo of this one.

It was very good despite a tiny rattle and the placement of the seatbelt. I rode it three times in my visit to Worlds of Fun and the second time I rode it was where I faced the most problems. The meta...

It was very good despite a tiny rattle and the placement of the seatbelt. I rode it three times in my visit to Worlds of Fun and the second time I rode it was where I faced the most problems. The metal part of the seatbelt was in an uncomfortable position and it hindered my enjoyment of the ride. Other than that, though, fantastic coaster.

Prowler has the best pacing out of any coaster I've been on (which isn't much considering I've only ridden 31 coasters as of the writing of this review) and has a great setting going out into the woods. It has nonstop rapid elements, roaring through airtime hills and fast turns that provide great laterals. It's a little rough, but I mean come on, it's a wooden coaster. Prowler is currently the only GCI I have been on, but if I were to judge GCI by Prowler alone, I'd say they were a success. Prowler is the best coaster at Worlds of Fun.

I was super excited when this coaster was announced. I love GCI's. My favorite is/was Ozark Wildcat at the now defunct Celebration City. So at the time this would have been the 3rd GCI in the state of Missouri. The third being American Thunder (It was Evel Knievel back then) at Six Flags St Louis. Prowler, I am sad to say is a very, very distant third to those other two. I don't quite know know what to say other than it just didn't deliver. I rode it first in the back and it was a bit rough without the usual sweeping and comfortable transitions that GCI is know for. I then immediately rode it again in the front. Unfortunately it wasn't much better there either. It just didn't deliver forces and stay smooth like other GCI's. There was very little air and absolutely none of the famous "sideway" air that Ozark Wildcat was the absolute best at. It could be the park--they have a way of building coasters that should be great on paper, but just end up being duds--both Mamba and Patriot fit that bill as well. I'm not sure what is wrong with this version, but it simply doesn't deliver.

This is currently my favorite GCI I've ridden which is an unpopular opinion. This is such an underrated ride. It has the strongest airtime of any GCI I've ridden and it's such a fun, long ride. However, as with most GCIs, I'm not a fan of the millennium flyer lap bars because it's nearly impossible for me to not get stapled with these. Anyways, this is an excellent GCI woodie that deserves more attention

Prowler could honestly be the best GCI in the US if not the World if it wasn't for how shacky it has become over the years. Such a fun quick ride with NO dead spots. The entire ride keeps you on edge ...

Prowler could honestly be the best GCI in the US if not the World if it wasn't for how shacky it has become over the years. Such a fun quick ride with NO dead spots. The entire ride keeps you on edge and never lets down on speed or intensity. Unfortunately the high speeds and tight turns on a 10 year old coaster can become very uncomfortable and its a serious problem for Prowler
