^The rattle is going to make Coasting for Kids event on the 10th quite interesting

Ya...no countdown. Overall I found the show to be very well done. I haven't seen a fireworks show at Wonderland since Cedar Fair took over but this being my first, you can call me impressed.

Here is the video as promised of the Victoria Day Fireworks. Sorry for some of the shakiness, I was shooting on my iPhone 4S.

Great job everyone. I am trying to reach my new goal of $400 now. Only $90 dollars away. Reached my original goal a while back then decided I was going to push to double it. *fingers crossed*

Photos as promised. Usually my iPhone spits out great photos, but last night it just wasn't cooperating. Video is still uploading. The line of cars turning into the park Still loving the sign and forced perspective they set up to make Leviathan look even bigger then it is. Ya, line was just a little long. Best new 2012 addition Loved this shot. The lights in the fountain really shine at night, pun intended Leviathan area at night Rawr Love the LED lights in the main fountains Another of the several Leviathan shirts. Not too shabby.

Sign the tunnel? I never heard that. Either way, I will be at both events and cannot wait. Can't get to much of Leviathan.

Was at the park yesterday for a few hours to check out the Victoria Day fireworks and wow was the park rammed. Not surpirised and not complaining either but it was nice to see it so busy. - Leviathan line was all the way back to the Milk Can game and quoted at 3 hours but we were on in under 2. Very impressed with the hustle. - Coke Freestyle machines are now installed at two locations (Midevil Funnel Cakes & Outside of Behemoth). - They do have a lot of flavors that are normally not available in Canada (Pibb being my favorite) so that is definitely a nice change of pace. - The Victoria Day fireworks were amazing in my eyes. Although they were not 100% Disney quality, they were very very close. Great music, great energy and just a great show. - Watching the parking lot craziness afterwards was also great. The park closed at 10pm (Fireworks done by 1015) and we were finally able to leave the parking lot at around midnight. I I will post some photos and a video of the entire firework show once I return home, as well as some footage of the parking lot craziness. Overall for spending 4 hours in the park, riding one ride, and watching the fireworks show, it was one of the most enjoyable times I've had in the park. I think the nighttime atmosphere really plays into the enjoyment level of a park for me.

Well, it's definitely something of an improvement. All issues aside, it really doesn't affect the ride at all what color or material it's made out of, the coaster is still amazing even if it was a wooden tunnel painted with yellow and green polka dots

I still have faith that it's not finished. Time will tell I suppose.

Much like Jason commented, had a great day at Wonderland today. I won't be too detailed cause Jason covered much of it but some random thoughts and notes: - Leviathan was already running better then SPPN night last week. - The tunnel does add a great head chopper effect, however, I really hope they aren't done with it. I know there's still possible landscaping and what not to be done (grass/trees/etc), so I am not giving up hope. It's just looking at the tunnel compared to the entry plaza and everything it's kind of, hmm, "weak". - The ride crew was amazing on Leviathan today with the odd exception of a lot of empty seats going out. In some cases the front train would only have 2 people sitting in it. Not a big deal in the grand scheme of things, but something that could be worked on. After all, it is opening day. - Behemoth is great still. It was giving amazing airtime in the back as always. Really looking forward to marathoning this for Coasting for Kids on June 10th. By the way, donate here if you haven't already https://www.firstgiving.com/fundraiser/joshuamclachlan/CanadasWonderland - Shockwave still only has three out of the six arms functioning at the moment. The other 3 remain under tarps for some reason. - Overall I'd give Wonderland a 10/10 for opening day. I have a feeling this season is going to be super special and super successful for the park and Cedar Fair! Here are some random pics from throughout the day. Enjoy. - Josh Leviathan's tunnel. Thoughts? Pre opening testing Getting ready to enter the park for the official kick off to the 2012 season. Love the skin on the trains. I find this picture really shows the length of the lift Artsy shot or just crooked shot? Train full of happy riders Artsy shot for sure "Riders your train will be dropping in 3...2...Ahhhhhhhhhh" Don't worry, we didn't forget about you "little" brother Artsy again Who can spot the new seats for Sledge Hammer? Fast Lane entry on the right. The implementation of this at Wonderland looked to be going great Oh Sledge Hammer Shot of the Leviathan queue from the loading stairs The extended "extended" queue for Leviathan while we were leaving. Aprox 90 min wait by my guess. All opening days must end with this! Thanks for a great opening day Wonderland.

Wonder if this attraction will be sponsored by Alcoholics Anonymous Cannot wait for this. I love POTC and this could be really awesome for sure.

Future Ninja Turtles re-theme Ya, saving judgement as well till it's done. I can't see Cedar Fair installing it just like that with such great landscaping and care all around the rest of the ride.

Well at least the haters will now have something other then the brake run as lack of a proper finish to talk about for 5 pages . Team Tunnel!

I am gonna go out on a limb and say they are far from done with the tunnel.

Well, I now have another reason to make it out to Vegas. I've been there before but haven't had much of a reason to go back, well, with Speed being rebuilt (credit I did not get) and this, well, Vegas here I come!

Me too, and I was planning a late summer trip there and hoping to finally get it. It has always been a "next time" ride for me. Opps?

I've tried searching this thread for "shirt" and "t shirt" and couldn't come across anything about t shirts for this event. Will people just attending the Bash get t shirts like most events or not? Not a big deal if we aren't, but just kind of popped in my mind today.

You couldn't be further away from the truth on this statement. The hammerhead on Leviathan is far more over banked then the one on Behemoth. Pictures and videos really do not do this ride justice. Get your butt up to Wonderland, ride it, then critique. Robb, I am with you, I am also an airtime type of guy however I find love in all elements. I've been battling over and over in my head which is better between the two and I've yet to come to a conclusive choice. What I have come to realize though is that Wonderland now has 2 World class B&M's in their park, and that, is nothing but good!

Honestly this is the perfect length. If you do bunny hills like that then it would start being too close to Behemoth. Test me, if you ride this you won't be concerned with the lack of bunny hills.

Ride is super smooth. Just like a B&M should be.

It is...However, where they set up the On Ride Photo pickup is where the skeeball used to be. Unless they moved the skeeball to a different part of the arcade, it may have been removed entirely Cannot confirm though as I did not walk the length of the arcade.

^^ To give you an idea, it was snowing this morning a little bit, so ya, it was extremely cold at points.

It truly is a very photogenic coaster and an amazing ride. You won't be disappointed at all. Look forward to seeing you at LeviaTHON!

As promised, here are some photos. Great shot from the Marketplace Buffet! Roar!!! Even good ol Charlie Brown was out routing us on today! Toronto Sick Kids Hospital being presented with their charity earnings from this amazing auction even today. Loving the Fountain/sign for Leviathan. Tshirt #1 Tshirt #2 and perhaps my favorite. Very neat 3D effect on it. Back of the sign. Love the coaster track on the back of the sign. Typo? Found 305' on all the mugs/glasses. Overview of the Leviathan Plaza. B&M Wheel Porn!!! Linus and myself. Getting a little intimate with Sally. Entry to Dinosaurs Alive In honor of Dinosaurs Alive here is Dino Dippin Dots! Sledge Hammer closed? Well that's a first Looks ready to ride to me View from more then halfway across the park Tshirt we got as part of the First Rider Auction I leave you with a shot I instagrammed.

Amen!
