Canada's Wonderland Discussion Thread

This seems like the kind of ride that will draw a ton of spectators as well as riders, especially with that lighting package. Awesome video. -

Windseeker looks great, I hope I get to ride it in the next few years. -
They have a crap load of photos from media day at Great Adventure History. Personally I think it looks great. I admit that grass would have been nice, but at least it's not like Scream! at SFMM so I can't complain. I'm not the biggest fan of Stand Up coasters but I loved Riddlers Revenge and everyone says that this is the next best stand up so I'm actually really excited to ride it.

Mitch Hawker 2010 poll
coasterbill replied to Skycoastin Steve's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I don't want to open this can of worms again... really I don't, but can someone explain how Top Thrill Dragster is #33 and Kingda Ka is #63 when they're the same basic ride except that one is taller and has a hill (but is #63). Sure, Kingda Ka has headrests... but they didn't seem to stop anyone from putting Maverick in the top 15. I love Cedar Point, it's my favorite park but why is it that if Cedar Point puts in the same ride as everyone else, it's instantly better than the same basic version of the same ride at another park? This may discredit what I just said, but I love Millennium Force. Six Flags New England is one of my home parks but I put Ride of Steel / Bizzaro as my #2 steel coaster, there's just something about Millennium Force that blows me away. The first drop (and the view from that drop) is untouchable, and I've never seen a ride maintain that kind of speed all the way through the course (I have not yet ridden i305). -

Looks like Windseeker is topped out now and work has begun on the queue line. -
Cedar Point ERT at Night
coasterbill replied to coastermaniac's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
An hour and a half drive is nothing... my commute is an hour. If you're going to be thinking about that the whole time then you probably won't enjoy it to be honest.. but if you can stop worrying about the relatively short drive and have fun then you should go for it. -
To make that ride drive a lot faster, I suggest the EZ-PASS. I used to drive up and down the Jersey Turnpike twice a week and that thing is a life saver. Also, to avoid NYC as much as possible (IF you DO go to SFNE), don't go over the George Washington Bridge. Head towards the lower level, get off in Fort Lee (right before the bridge) and make a left. That puts you on the Palisades Parkway... take it to the Tappan Zee Bridge, you'll save time and money and avoid NYC traffic as much as possible.
