I would love for a coaster to pop out of the forest and follow the highway a bit.... That would be a great welcome into the park.
-
A.I. is also mentioning a couple one off footings meaning they are probably in place for a major theming element. I would love to see a smaller mountain or something of the like... maybe do what twisted timbers did with tractors, but we could use mine trains.
-
Auburn seems like a great colour to use in and around the woods too! I'm hoping that the grey is a primer.... it wouldn't reach the visual potential that way.
I'm still hoping for a 280 ft lift and a 20ft tunnel to make it a giga!
And you still have me intrigued saying there are more surprises haha.
-
Maybe they will start clearing land for future buildings along the path. I'd reckon it would have to mostly be done before the winter in order to open in time for next season.
-
Haha during my very little research with a colleague of mine, I Predict they speak for literally hundreds of millions of people.
Welp there you have it folks. No one knows about Ziz.
I never heard of any of these names prior to their construction. But I learned enough about them afterwards. If people can get behind Rougarou God damnit, they can get behind this one too..... but they have to wait for the next coaster first.
-
For flats and minor coaster I agree on the mediocre names but when it comes to signature coasters CF does a good job at naming and more modernly, theming. Ie. Banshee, Steel Vengence, Twisted Timbers.
I'm all for a really good Canadiana themed and named coaster. Save Ziz or Renanin for when they replace Flight Deck and Time Warp.
-
Sources? And does it mention anything on height?
-
I was just joking with a strata dive. Haha just a pie in the sky remark
-
2008.... hyper
2012... giga
2018... Strata???

I really hate Pizza Pizza and wish it would go the way of McDonalds and New York Fries.
With them bringing up their own beers as well as more authentic cultural fair, I feel like they could have an artesinal pizza maker and have a lot more detail in the buildings/style of pizza then this current company that tastes slightly above a cardboard box with tomato sauce on it.

I would highly recommend checking out Toronto. The res over 50 micro breweries in the city plus a plethora of great Restaraunts from practically every culture. The festivals and markets every weekend are great and I would highly recommend on a good day to check out the islands just a ferry ride from downtown to rent a bike and plan a picnic. There's a lot to do here.
-
Based on this thread, I think I'll squeeze Niagara Falls and Marineland into my Toronto trip if weather permits / dictates.
I have all of US Memorial Day weekend (in Friday evening, out Tuesday morning). But if I only get two days of good weather, should I rush Canada's Wonderland to be able to do this?
For the love of God don't rush Wonderland. Stay two days if need be, especially if it's the long weekend. One unique Arrow Coaster is not worth rushing one of the best Cedar Fair parks. I guarantee you will regret it an hour after arriving to Marineland and realizing there's not much to do and a lot of walking to do it.
Spend a day with the coasters and another day dedicated to flats if you want. The water park is decent as well given the weather is nice. Stay for the food, scenery and a multitude of shows.
CW is worth the money.
-
Definitely getting a season pass next year!
-
I really hope for the new coaster they give it a great name and not just a cartoonish Canadian gimmick. There is a lot of native American more they can work off of that I wouldn't mind seeing. Similar to Banshee, but I want to go even darker.
-
Also you need to constantly be aware of audio. In a coupl3 of the videos there are people not facing the camera for a couple seconds which causes us jot 5o hear what is being said. If you want to move around while talking, try adding a mic piece for necessary audio levels.
-
Didn't CW say s0mething along the lines of the biggest addition yet? Or something of that ilk?
-
Haha yeah I have quite the mental backlog of requests I would love to download on someone responsible for future attractions. Right down to where in the park and what it should be themed as.
-
You could call it Northern Lights
-
Six Flag's should buy Marineland in Niagara Falls.
That park has a decent enough group of rides to start off with plus loads of unnoccupied land to make plenty much needed expansions. It's a border park with millions of annual tourists a year just a quick drive away and has the potential to rival Wonderland given the right management. It would just depend on how much money SF would be willing to invest into a single park while at the same time try not to overload it like Geauga Lake.
-
Lumberjack goes more with the theme and holds double the amount opposed to Jetscream.
I do agree with you on the soaring timbers idea though.... if only they made it more intense then it would be different enough than shockwave.
-
Vortex at CW.
I was terrified... but not as much as the dreaded upside down coaster that is Dragon Fyre.
-
Canada's Wonderland
Cedar Point (first time)
Kings Island (first time)
Potentially more...
-
It's awfully close to the Water park...
What if it's a Water coaster?
-
The lights on the edge of the axe blades look great especially surrounded by the lamp posts.
I'm looking forward to the surrounding area in acouple weeks once there's leaves on the tree's and grass has grown out. I'm liking the focus on the creek as well, in retrospect it seemed a waste to be buried mostly by the mini putt course.

Anyone bashing CedarFair1's YouTube videos just don't realize they're in a loud minority.
Sure if you don't like his stuff, you can simply not watch it.
I however have been following his videos since the wintertime and no one else goes to the lengths that he has with interviews, drones, everyday park appearances and willing to learn knew terms and practices to envision the new coaster.
THIS KIND OF THING DOESN'T USUALLY HAPPEN.
Every video he is getting more information and it's piecing everything together. Sure you can watch Coaster Studios, TPR, Coaster Bot or a thousand other type of channels, but none of them dive this deep into details. He is even expanding to other Cedar Fair parks like Carowinds and Cedar Point and bringing a following with him.
A half a year ago when he started the channel he was rocking like 130 people or w/e... now he is almost at 5,000 subscribers with well over a quarter million views. Clearly someone is enjoying this info.
He has put countless hours and his own money into doing this. Is it perfect? F?ck no.... but is he getting better at creating videos and discussions then back in March? Leaps and bounds... absolutely.
If you're too lazy to click on a play button and actually see moving pictures and a voice that helps you understand what you are seeing then I don't know why you are on a chat forum to begin with.... there's way too much clicking involved in the first place!
Haha chill out people. He is the main reason you're even on CW's sub forum this often anyways.
