pgathriller Posted August 18, 2007 Posted August 18, 2007 What ever could it be? No seriously what are they supposed to be building? Â I hope it's a new Frog Hopper ride . Oh a roller coaster would be nice too
Airtime&Gravity Posted August 18, 2007 Posted August 18, 2007 So will this be able to have a legitimate claim as Canada's largest coaster or will it have a lot of pointless filler? -cough Marineland cough- Â If this is a hyper, I assume it will just be, but it would be great if they build a world class coaster as Canada has only a few.(only Mindbender) Of course, since the park is run by Cedar Fair, it will be trimmed to hell, but this should easily be the parks best coaster. As far as the ride goes, I would guess no more than 225ft tall, a top speed of 70-80mph, and a mile in length max.
jonlocke Posted August 18, 2007 Author Posted August 18, 2007 I also took a look at their website and the have a countdown clock on it and a few hints at whats being built. Â http://www2.cedarfair.com/canadaswonderland/index.cfm#actions
niiicolaaah Posted August 18, 2007 Posted August 18, 2007 It's definitely a roller coaster. If you go over to www.cwmania.com in the photos section, they have a bunch of construction photos. There are already many footers poured.
JuanSe_Colombia Posted August 18, 2007 Posted August 18, 2007 Cool.....Judging for the picture it is a rollercoaster!!
FeelTheFORCE Posted August 18, 2007 Posted August 18, 2007 Those are definitely B&M footers. My guess is that it's a hyper over 200 feet, because Goliath is only about 175, so A B&M hyper over 200 feet would qualify as "something Canada has never seen before".
307 Posted August 18, 2007 Posted August 18, 2007 ^ as the poster said in the exact same post, Â because Goliath is only about 175
yankees15 Posted August 18, 2007 Posted August 18, 2007 I'm thinking this will be a B&M hyper coaster between 215-240 feet tall, 75-85 mph, and over a mile in length. What would really be great would be another giga coaster, but I'll keep dreaming.
307 Posted August 18, 2007 Posted August 18, 2007 Whatever it is, I'm preparing for mediocrity. Wonderland doesn't exactly have much of a track record with good, original, rides. So I expect a clone or an underwhelmingly designed original ride. Â But I'm a pessimist.
ECZenith Posted August 18, 2007 Posted August 18, 2007 Even if it is Dominator from GL as many people think... it would easily be the best coaster in the park and Canada's only floorless coaster. I've been on all the US floorless coasters and my favorite of them all is Dominator. Â I doubt it will be a hypercoaster as they are claiming Canada has never seen anything like it, and with the Beemer footers already poured, it make sme lean even further with the relocation of Dominator, or hopefully an original B&M looper or dive machine. Â Excited to hear what it turns out to be... even though I am no longer a few hours drive away and 3000 miles from this park.
napster1619 Posted August 18, 2007 Posted August 18, 2007 I doubt it's going to be Dominator. this puppy is to spread out for it. kudos to Cedar Fair for this tease the countdown clock is really getting people pumped for the announcement.
niiicolaaah Posted August 18, 2007 Posted August 18, 2007 Whatever it is, I'm preparing for mediocrity. Wonderland doesn't exactly have much of a track record with good, original, rides. So I expect a clone or an underwhelmingly designed original ride. But I'm a pessimist.  Yes, but now CF is controlling it, so who knows.  Oh, and IT'S NOT DOMINATOR!
FlyingScooter Posted August 18, 2007 Posted August 18, 2007 It sounds to me like CW's going to be getting the CF touch. Woohoo, don't get too disappointed when all you get is CornHole.
niiicolaaah Posted August 18, 2007 Posted August 18, 2007 You'll see. Â Â Â That's all I have to say.
mightypotato Posted August 18, 2007 Posted August 18, 2007 From the footer maps I've seen over at CWMania, this thing is going to be big. Personally, I'm excited that we're FINALLY going to get a decent ride. We've been overlooked and screwed over way too many times.
xX-Linde-Xx Posted August 18, 2007 Posted August 18, 2007 If anyone knows the layout of CW, There are footers near sledgehammer, all the way to the parking lost then all the way across the lake by splashworks. If you want to see proff there are a tonne of pics at CWmania.com.
Shockwave Posted August 18, 2007 Posted August 18, 2007 It can't be much worse than what they've already got there. I'm thinking hyper coaster, because they've got pretty much every other coaster type going.
BarryH Posted August 18, 2007 Posted August 18, 2007 I believe it is actually a new churro and turkey leg stand.
ECZenith Posted August 18, 2007 Posted August 18, 2007 Yeah, after looking at the footers I agree with Nicole, it's so NOT Dominator.
niiicolaaah Posted August 18, 2007 Posted August 18, 2007 I don't like how some of you guys are just dismissing this based on Wonderland's previous record. The park is owned by a totally different company now. Â I don't mean to keep plugging CWMania, but they're the only site that has pictures as far as I know. Â Here are some construction photos: Â http://www.cwmania.com/photos/thumbnails.php?album=124&page=1
FlyingScooter Posted August 18, 2007 Posted August 18, 2007 It's been ages since I've been to CW. Â I just don't have much faith in CF.
napster1619 Posted August 18, 2007 Posted August 18, 2007 "I just don't have much faith CF." why is that?
