The other potential thing that could be happenng is a Plants vs Zombies or Mass Effect ride. I am sure this has been mentioned before so I am sorry for any redundancy. I saw the P vs Z version at Carowinds this summer and my family liked it. It was brutally hot at Carowinds with no lines so we 'rode' P vs Z like ten times. It was air conditioned and it fit nicely into the theatre space as well. The other day I was at Canada's Wonderland in line to watch the Robinson Crusoe 3D movie and I mentioned to the operator that I had done the P vs Z ride and that it would fit nicely in that space but there was no reaction. I tried. Still, the theatre is there and it could be converted to this type of ride that adds some breadth to the offerings. I would think that P vs Z would be the one rather than Mass Effect given that the theatre is in the kids' area. Of course, that still doesn't answer any questions about the Skyrider plot. I took a look at the plot last Sunday and didn't see anything different from previous visits.

This is my first post. I posted a comment on the Canada's Wonderland Facebook page commenting on the lack of information about when the 2017 announcement was being made. I thought I may get a 'coming soon' comment, but I got a reply very quickly that was more detailed. It said that capital announcement dates vary due to several external factors. I posted this comment on August 20th, the same day Kings Dominion made their announcement. My thinking is that if we were getting the same thing as another park then there should not be any unique external factors that could not have been sorted out by now, thus there may be a chance that we are getting something unique or something needing more logistics to be successfully completed. I have been leaning towards a Hotel Breakers kind of hotel being built instead of a coaster. If that is the case, I will see that as a real vote of confidence in Canada's Wonderland and indicative of future development in the park. It could mean longer lines but that means more revenues and more revenues mean more incentive for Cedar Fair to invest here in the future. It would also make sense to do this, pardon the phrase, unsexy type of project for Canada's Wonderland in a year when we can't point to another park and say 'why are they getting a and we're not'. That's my two cents worth.
