Patriot is a steel inverted roller coaster designed by Bolliger & Mabillard at the Worlds of Fun amusement park in Kansas City, Missouri. Announced on September 7, 2005, the roller coaster opened to the public on April 8, 2006. The ride lasts about 2 minutes and 18 seconds and features four inversions, a maximum height of 149ft and a length of 3081ft.HistoryPatriot was announced on September 7, 2005 and was the park's largest investment at the time. Construction started in the transfer track and station area before progressing to the lift hill in early-October 2005. Just over two weeks later, the roller coaster's 149ft lift hill was topped off. After erecting the first drop and loop, construction on the zero-gravity-roll was complete by mid-November. The third inversion, and Immelmann loop, was completed about a week later followed by the placement of the inclined loop pieces. After the corkscrew and other track elements were completed, the final piece of track was placed in the morning of January 13, 2006.After testing was completed, the attraction opened to the public on April 8, 2006.Ride experienceAfter departing from the station, the train makes a left turn leading directly to the beginning of the 149ft lift hill. Once the train reaches the top of the lift hill, it makes a sharp, downward 129ft drop followed by a 89ft loop. After exiting the loop and making a slight right turn, the train goes up leading into a zero-gravity roll. The train drops back to the ground before going through an Immelmann loop. Next, the train enters an inclined loop. Then the train, goes over a small inverted hill, drops to the ground, and makes a left turn into a corkscrew. Then the train makes a right turn which leads to the brake run. The train then makes a left turn back into the station where the next riders board.
