Have you visited Worlds of Fun lately? Across Cedar Fair parks, the food & beverage teams have been stepping up their game to create unique menu offerings. Dining plans continue to be a huge driver of growth for the company, and consequently, continuing to improve the food options is a great way to sustain the momentum.

We have been big proponents of Worlds of Fun since our family’s first visit in 2015. The amusement park with an original design based off Around the World in 80 Days, offers a great lineup of attractions, and the creative food offerings have always impressed us.

Take for example the fried avocado created by then Executive Chef Kevin Williams. The offering was available on the Worlds of Fun Food Truck and was the perfect combination of soft avocado with crispy panko bread crumbs. It really was a gem (but no longer offered)!

Today, the food and beverage team is led by Executive Chef Wesley Boston, who really impressed us with some of the specialty 2018 menu items as well as those offered during Worlds of Fun Winterfest. The Loaded Fried Yams (Sweet potato waffle fries topped with gruyure cheese, fire-roasted chicken, cranberries and crispy fried shaved brussel sprouts) alone were worth the trip to Worlds of Fun Winterfest!

Have we got your attention yet?
