Canada's Wonderland Discussion Thread
patrick_rc_fan replied to BDG's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I remember that being trademarked a while ago (don't remember a logo). At the time, someone mentioned it as being either a dark ride or for Haunt. Voyage to the Iron Reef was trademark as well. So, yes. -
It doesn't have to? Not every park has to make that much money. For being in the middle of nowhere and open for only a few months, Michigan's Adventure pulls in an enormous attendance. Not every park has to have 3 million visitors-- it's unreasonable. Long story short; CF will not sell Michigan's Adventure for two reasons: A) They just bought new land, B) Huge profit margin. Fin d'Histoire.

Why is Opening Day on Sunday at CW? Is Sunday a more significant day than Saturday in Canada, or is there some other reason? Sorry if I sound dumb. Actually, yes. More people tend to do their leisure activities on Sundays (at least where I am in Southern Ontario, anyways). In some areas it's even the busier day for grocery stores and what not. I'm not sure why they wouldn't open on the Saturday though, if only to take advantage of the extra operating day at a time when they are only open on weekends... I mean, as nicman mentioned above, it's been Sunday for years, but now that you mention it, it actually is a good question as to why Sunday. It has been Sunday since at least 2002 when I first started visiting the park. I belive the reason is because one of the major 6 banks in Canada rents out the entire park, usually TD or Scotia. The weekend before opening day is also often rented out. For whatever reason it is always the Saturday before opening thats rented. I think you're right. For as long as I can remember, RBC rents out the park on the Saturday. -

Not sure why, but Behemoth makes me dizzy. -
Tallest coaster you've been on.

I've been on few coasters, but my tallest steel coaster would be Leviathan, and wood would be Le Monstre at La Ronde. -

If Cedar Fair was to put new trains on Wild Thing, I could only see them buying new B&M trains, like on Steel Dragon 2000. -

Bad news... no single rider lines Time Warp and the Bat have single rider lines, I believe.
