Ziz confirmed! #2017 #TakethatCP #AvengeSkyrider No I didn't say that lol.. there are many projects still underway for 2016 they could be for. Juts saw Skyriders plot of land from a CWMania update and its fully grown grass and untouched. But it looks like they are clearing grass off at the other side of the path. Maybe we see a station there and the rest of the ride will fly over Vortex and into Skyrider's plot of land The land clearing on the left was to hook Skyhawk up to the underground utilities. -

Yes, it is a very nice shot! I think it may have been taken from Windseeker! -

Yes, Skyhawk is 115 feet in height. It, along with the new Sky Roller at Liseberg are the tallest Sky Rollers to date. The standard height is 59 feet. -

I would just like to mention that the third photo in your post was originally posted on Canada's Wonderland's Facebook page on March 11th. Also, that photo was posted on an earlier post. Another thing I would like to point out is that Skyhawk's tower is fully up now, so there are no more tower pieces to be put up. -
Possessed at Dorney Park!

Yes, the capacity for the Gerstlauer Sky Roller is only 24 passengers per ride. I find this a problem especially when Canada's Wonderland decided to add Fastlane to Skyhawk. The only time you're really going to be able to ride it without waiting a long time is on days when the weather is inclement, during weekdays in May through June, or later in the day. Despite all the potential capacity problems, I'm still very excited to ride Skyhawk! -

While I was looking at Canada's Wonderland's Opening Day Specials page, I came across some other things that will be new for 2016. First off, a new game is coming to Medieval Faire by the name of Ye Soccer Tournament. I assume it'll be similar to the soccer game that is in Action Zone located near Crystal Arcade except with a Medieval theme. Does anyone have any ideas as to where this new game will be located within Medieval Faire or what it will be replacing? Also, there will be a new food creation coming to the park this year which is a Funnelwich. It's like the park's famous cookiewich that are sold at Cookie cafe, except with funnel cakes. The Funnelwich will only be available at the Medieval Faire funnel cake shop located right beside the Fun Shoppe. The Funnelwich: Photo Credit: Canada's Wonderland -

According to Dave Phillips' latest Twitter post, The Candy Factory will be receiving a new name, look, and structures. I wonder if this means that the rest of Kidzville will be re-themed or remain the same? Photo Credit: Dave Phillips via Twitter -

Ladies and gentleman, Skyhawk has arrived! Below is a photo of Skyhawk in the parking lot near Behemoth. It won't be too long now until it's up and testing! Photo Credit: Canada's Wonderland's Facebook post -
Now feel the grip of Vortex!

On the bright side, it will make the grass green and soon it will be Spring! The heat is turned up at College despite it being very warm outside!

Welcome to the Alphabet Flat Ride Game! It has very similar rules to the very popular alphabet coaster game created about a decade ago except this one is dedicated to flat rides! So, the rules are simple! Post a flat ride that you’ve been on in alphabetical order along with a photo! They can either be located at amusement parks or travelling the midway! Have fun! I'll start it off with Apollo at Dorney Park!
