Canada's Wonderland Discussion Thread
MixedDrink replied to BDG's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Per my visit next year, I shall refuse to refer to this ride as it's proper name. I will call it "Behemoth 2: Electric Boogaloo" (thanks Cheese!) and nothing else. - MixedDrink -

Unfortunately, CWMania is plagued by idiot trolls because our admins and mods (*cough* Dan and Jen *cough*) have no metaphorical balls. A lot of the newer members are the idiots who are only staying around for the announcement and then will loose interest; I'd advise you pay no attention to them. I asure you that our senior members are much more intelligent. -

Those pictures are very cool! I wanted to do that with my waterproof camera, but never really had the weather or the time on my side before I left. -

I know it seems a tad ironic, but it really is wise of the park. Guests would not be very happy riding it in high winds, due to some issues with the prototype. On a more related note, I wasn't stating that all Intamins have any spectacularly high amount of downtime... As someone mentioned earlier, Canada's Wonderland can't afford another Windseeker disaster (if you'd call it that). -

I think a Dive Machine over 90 metres would be an amazing feat for B&M, but that said I still can't see it happening. I think we'd be lucky to even get any coaster over 90 metres. I actually think I'd enjoy an Intamin, but CW's attendance is much too high to make up for much downtime. I guess we'll have to wait for the announcement, but I hope it's something that makes it worth coming back to my home park next year! - MixedDrink -

^ Exactly! That being why they wanted the best crews to operate the ride... it needed a lot of throughput (and still does). -
Cedar Point (CP) Discussion Thread

Actually, I did notice that when I was at the park (July 9th), but I was unaware it was anything new... I just figured it was an ugly area of the park. I'd love to hear an explanation for that as well! -

^ Pre-Behemoth, Canada's Wonderland had their best ride ops working on Vortex. These so-called ride ops now belong to Behemoth -

^ Possibly! I think 300 feet of lift hill stairs is pretty ridiculous, personally I doubt they will use stairs for evacuation and maintenance purposes. - MixedDrink -

Honestly, I don't see the hype for Coaster. It looks okay.. I mean yeah its an ACE coaster classic... but Scooby Doo was for god sake! - MixedDrink -
I've on Xtreme Skyflyer here at Canada's Wonderland. Its worth it the first time, as re-stated several times by others.. but I found the drop much better than on drop tower. I had nothing to hold on to, it felt like I was just falling. In my opinion, Skycoasters and Drop towers are completely different experiences, the vest feels like clothing vs the seats that feel like... seats. At the CF Parks if you ride alone it'll cost you 2-3 times more than it does if you have friends, so I'd just try and find two random people to split the bill. At $22.50, I regret nothing. However, hell if I'll ever spend that money again. - MixedDrink

Interesting! Wow, six flags can really not afford for them to win.
