TODAY’S TRADEMARK – TIMBER WOLF
Timber Wolf is a wooden roller coaster located at Worlds of Fun in Kansas City, Missouri. It was designed by Curtis D. Summers, built by the Dinn Corporation and opened in April 1989. Timber Wolf is one of two wooden roller coasters at Worlds of Fun and Worlds of Fun’s first wooden roller coaster. The coaster’s highest point is 100 feet (30 m) and its largest drop is 95 feet (29 m), at which point it reaches speeds of 45 miles per hour (72 km/h).
Interestingly, Timber Wolf has a sign at its entrance saying “Extreme vibrations and roughness are a nature of this ride. Do not be alarmed.”
After World’s of Fun’s purchase by Cedar Fair in 1995, trim brakes were added to the Timber Wolf’s first drop, slowing the ride considerably, similar to the now defunct Mean Streak at Cedar Point and Hercules at Dorney Park. The ride’s acclaim is featured in the “History of Roller Coasters” in the Wildcat at Frontier City in Oklahoma City.
The trademark of this company was registered in USPTO bearing registration number 1575673 on January 2, 1990.
