Worlds of Fun announced Patriot on September 7, 2005, presenting it as the park’s largest investment of its time. For the Kansas City traveller, it promised a new steel landmark in the Americana section, built not on a distant coast but in the middle country. coasterpedia.net· bizjournals.com

Construction began around the station and transfer track before the lift rose in early October 2005. By mid-November the great shape of the ride was taking form, with the vertical loop and rolling inversions set in place like public works for a summer afternoon. coasterpedia.net

The final piece of track was placed on January 13, 2006, after which testing carried the new trains over the course. Patriot opened to the public on April 8, 2006, sending visitors beneath the track through four inversions at up to 97 km/h. coasterpedia.net· en.wikipedia.org

The ride remains in operation at Worlds of Fun, where its 149-foot lift and suspended trains give the park a bold Swiss-built silhouette beside the avenues of Kansas City. It is a common card, but a substantial machine. worldsoffun.enchantedparks.com· en.wikipedia.org
