  1. Why is CW adding a hotel. It would just look out of place anywhere on CW property. Besides they don't need a hotel, there attendance is ridiculously high for one.

    A hotel there will bring in a lot of revenue for the park and look better than a parking lot, even though it might take a few years to break even. A Canadian themed hotel, though unlikely, would look amazing, and I'd probably stay at it if I had the money.

  2. Upon further review, their existing lazy river is the most piss poor excuse for a lazy river in the history of lazy rivers. I never paid much attention before, but god damn, they REALLY needed this.

     

    You walk down stairs to get in it which makes it tough for little kids to get in their tubes and really limits capacity on a ride where capacity should never be an issue, generally you enter a lazy river on a gradual slope (and you will on the new one). Then once you're in the river it's as plain looking as possible, it's incredibly short and there's absolutely nothing going on.

     

    Seriously,

    .

     

    After seeing that, I'm totally on board with this addition.

    Clearly you haven't been to Canada's Wonderland.

  3. Wait, people think Knott's is going (or was going) to remove Sky Cabin?

     

    The Cal-OSHA report still isn't public from the last breakdown and if Knott's can't make any required corrections or re-open it; I see them demolishing it over leaving the tower SBNO. How do they get the cabin down sooner if the ride breaks down again? Windseeker had to go after the second extended breakdown so Sky Cabin could too. It is a nice ride to take pictures from if the plexiglass wasn't all scratched up by the delinquents.

     

    Ugh. Cedar Fair has dicked with the tower so much honestly it's not even the same freakin' thing anymore. I think the Knott's family removed the Parachutes after someone committed suicide either at Knott's or another park with a similar attraction, then the K was removed for no reason, now they aren't even interested in keeping the Sky Cabin open (which I don't understand it's always nice to have an observation tower especially one in the middle of a city like Orange County where you can see the beach and the surrounding mountains). I mean if Six Flags can refurb Superman to get it running consistently are you telling me Cedar Fair can't drop some money into the Sky Cabin to get it running well? I can't for the life of me remember who made the sky cabin but if I'm correct it's a company that's still around, why do I feel like it's Intamin? It may be Intamin. I believe there's some kind of plaque or badge on the cabin indoors which says the manufacturer and year it was built.

     

    They did no such a thing. The opening is clearly still there...

     

    Totally a mistake on my part, sorry about that! I don't know how I missed that!

     

    Sky Cabin was made by intamin, but I don't see them refurbishing the tower.

  4. I found a
    of Batman the Ride on its opening year and I thought it was kinda cool that the platform used to have fog machines on it.

     

    A little useless fact about Batman's opening day... Work was a tad behind and construction crews and maintenance crews worked around the clock the last 24 hours before it opened.... The asphalt in the area was poured and steamrolled just hours before the park opened

     

    Six Flags? Opening on time? Is this an alternate universe?
