This is the one that really gets me, this looks just fantastic and what a way to really stamp the Vekoma redemption. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WBahRIvA47I

Hell yessss, that drop lives in my dreams.

Good to know! I do usually skip that type stuff but I am here to get the full experience, and given the crowds discussion maybe I'll cave and just do 2 days anyway. But yes this is basically THE anticipated trip for the year. I've heard only great things, and I'm ready to finally get here. Also will be my first visit to Canada in over 20 years and that was with my family. Expecting a different time now!

Yeah I've been giving it (probably way too much) thought, I do think I've decided I will also never visit (same for the UAE shame bc Formula Rossa) BUT I hold no judgement to whoever does, it's a strictly personal choice and not anything I intend to ever get into. I as well am loving the videos and reports, and this place is bonkers. Yes, not only did it actually happen but you nailed it: the ridiculously insane no limits creations people made have actually been done IRL!!! Good to have the infinite oil money cheat code enabled but for real I'm envious, my dream would be to have some publicly owned/funded park here that can just build without restraint. Same, Iron Rattler looks amazing my mind was blown. Colossus also looked sick (yeah "just" a woodie but I love a relentless intense wooden coaster) those two seem like better rides in my book than even Falcon's Flight (which still is absolutely insane)

Yeah! Im planning on the USGP in 2026 which reminded me of this park and I was shocked that according to RCDB Circuit Breaker was open! I didn't see even the slightest thing about it! The POV looks epic!

Yeah that’s usually been my experience, I’ve caught some near dead days even at Kings Island but I know this park is esp crowded. Sounds good, I’ll message you when it’s closer/settled on a time.

Ah, so extra packed I assume? I did see that Holiday but I misread, thought it was the 18th. Well given that, is perhaps later that week (the 26th to 29th) better? It's not set in stone but I'm thinking of going to the Canadian GP, that Sunday, so another reason I was kinda aiming for that weekend. Ofc I'd head down from Montreal to Toronto so that whole week of the 25th is open.

Damn, even in let's say mid May?? I know the park is pretty slamming but that's wild. Guess good news is it may not really matter than and I might as well go Memorial day to capitalize on the free day off. Appreciate all the info! FLP can it be purchased ahead of time or is day of the only way? And oh yes, I'm looking forward to it and I plan to spend time in Toronto and I'll be coming from Montreal (which will be my first time there) so both the park and overall trip I am stoked.

I'm going here for the first time in 2026, I'm looking at May. I know this park can get mighty busy so: What types of crowds could be expected for Monday May 25? its a free day off for me and I assume Canada doesn't celebrate US Memorial Day LOL but I dont know if school is out by then? Any thoughts? In general, when is best to minimize crowds in May? Weekdays are open for me. I know later in month is generally warmer but I do want to balance minimizing crowds. Esp as I know Alpen Fury doesn't have the greatest capacity. And is there any general advice for the park? Any and all is welcomed. Thanks!

Still undecided on that (granted it wouldnt even be in the cards until 2027 anyway) but I sure as hell am looking forward to reviews, photos and POVs The fact this all has happened is insane!

And we got footage of people actually riding it Somehow it's real I still can't believe this has actually happened. Any of it, but somehow it is. While the stats are insane and no doubt it'll be quite an experience still not sure how good it'll really be but yeah, they did it. Good to have infinite oil money and no need to be profitable etc lol

Woke up and realized I could make it by gate opening, so took an unplanned trip. Right to flash, got two rides (after the 2nd line was already up to an hour) once in the middle, once back row. Middle was fine, was fun, back row was very good, air and whip was stronger, just a better ride all around, even the hang felt better! For the 40 mins I waited for my 2nd ride was still worth it but not sure I'd want much longer than that. IMO this is an hour at tops, ride was quite fun but just wish it had a liiiiittle bit more oomph. Like it felt close to being great just needed some more. But yeah the line itself wasn't even that terrible but ofc due to 1 train it was getting long, I can't fathom what summer would look like. To be clear: It was not the ops, I felt they were moving quite quickly! Also restraints were nice and comfy, willing to say some of the best I've experienced. Besides that got a walk on to Nitro and even a stay on re-ride. It just doesn't hit the same it used to, but still a solid ride. Jersey Devil, then the heat was getting insane already so bailed. So yeah not much to report, it still makes se sad going here just seeing how much the park has lost over the years (no not this year, I still maintain most of that wasn't really a big deal and KK barely ran anyway) and as noted El Toro while still great has become so rough. Some solid rides here so I really hope the long run investment they talk about does happen. Wanna see this place have a good number of quality, interesting rides. But for now, got some good rides and after being prepared to be let down Flash was better than I expected!

Oof despite my watching like a hawk did miss Coastermania. Seems they have put Sirens Curse on there if it is open but they dont seem to guarantee it. "Siren’s Curse is scheduled to open in early summer. While an official opening date has not yet been set, it’s included in the Coastermania lineup in the event it has opened." Ah well. If its not yet open I wont be too bummed, still kinda sad I missed it. Unsure if I'll go this year, but solid chance I will not having done TTD2 or ofc Sirens Curse

Oh! Was part of a very busy trip so never did follow up. Everything was 45 mins (maybe 50 but eh) or under. Exception was Tennessee Tornado Hour 25 but they were running 1 train ops!? Mustve been an issue, cant imagine why they would on spring break and when nothing else was. Given it was spring break not bad actually! I'll gladly take 45 mins and some were only 20-30. So all in all not bad! New cred for Big Bear Mountain, perhaps the gift of low expectations but was solid and surprisingly fun! LRod, got 6 rides. Once or twice did feel a little weird at first but I became a normal human and got over the chain lift. Rest is great and far as I can tell unchanged from before. Especially when it warmed up...early morning was great but late afternoon/early evening it was hauling and kicking ass. In the back a helluva ride. Oh also I got 6 rides. It opened with the park and ran all day. So that alone is ya know, pretty big. This park may have one of the best lineups. There's no bad coaster. Even calibrating for the fact "this is a family ride" Firechaser and Dragonflier are fun little rides. I know Mystery Mine is divisive but I still quite enjoy it and though not worth that long, I forgot how much ass TT kicks, Thunderhead ran great, Wild Eagle remains a low key good wing coaster. Another good visit to this park, it probably is cemented in my top 5 by this point.
