SharkTums Posted April 29, 2014 Posted April 29, 2014 Seeing an improvement like the new cars for the Sally Dark Ride is truly awesome. It shows that the new Cedar Fair regime really gets it and is going over EVERYTHING to try and improve guest satisfaction. Way to go!
Dom497 Posted April 30, 2014 Posted April 30, 2014 Looks like WMG will likely not open in time for opening weekend. According to a user on CW Mania, media day for the ride has been cancelled. http://www.cwmania.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=58995#p58995
rollin_n_coastin Posted April 30, 2014 Posted April 30, 2014 Great pics of WMG. I had a flashback of Indiana Beach, less the cage over the trains for a minute This is definitely one of the more interesting dark/ interactive rides out there...CF is really going above and beyond for this one given that it's geared to regional/ seasonal parks. The new Boo Hill cars/ faster line is huge. Anything to help the only "one ride per visit" that friends with kids go through during the season.
DirkFunk Posted April 30, 2014 Posted April 30, 2014 Well, ANYTHING they can do for the Boo HIll's capacity is a big win. Hopefully there's some more cars in addition to higher capacity is great. Maybe not making up for Behemoth seat belts, but it is something. Also, WMG looks like it will definitely "count". There's some substantive coaster sections there.
asimowalk Posted April 30, 2014 Posted April 30, 2014 I only rode Boo Hill once when it was still Haunted Mansion... I remember waiting in that molasses line after the area already closed for the night. It really is nice to see them upgrade a ride like that. Maybe new trains for Flight Deck aren't out of the question now? (One can dream) In somewhat CW related news, York Regional Police is using the parking lot today to do a truck safety blitz.

Angle O. Descent Posted May 2, 2014 Posted May 2, 2014 ^When does a ride really count as a coaster? I don't see it on RCDB.
Nrthwnd Posted May 2, 2014 Posted May 2, 2014 Well, it has a coaster lift hill outside of the mountain. Then it coasts in some kind of coaster-like fashion, into the mountain and....? Whatever. Quit complaning about it. It'll be great and unique for the park.

loop-de-loop Posted May 2, 2014 Posted May 2, 2014 ^Yep, it's still there. It will be interesting to see if Leviathan has seatbelts by tomorrow night, because if it doesn't, I'm guessing they might not be installed at all.
Angle O. Descent Posted May 2, 2014 Posted May 2, 2014 ^ For now, I think it's only the split-rowed B&Ms rolling out the seat belts (Behemoth, Diamondback, Intimidator).
Myself Posted May 2, 2014 Posted May 2, 2014 While I'm guessing this may be a Cedar Fair-specific thing...there is also Shambhala at PortAventura with the split-rowed trains. Guess we'll know for certain if that ends up getting seatbelts.
leviathandude306 Posted May 2, 2014 Posted May 2, 2014 First of all, why would there be only seat belts on the split row rifrs? Second, have a feeling the seat belts will really hurt capacity... Remember that Nitro did this a few years ago, and it was taken out pretty quick.
PCW_Nut Posted May 2, 2014 Posted May 2, 2014 Quick WMG update. It's season pass preview night and just wanted to send a couple pics showing more rock work done over the entrance as well as that "suspicious" track work is now fixed and bolted into place.
linearinduction Posted May 2, 2014 Posted May 2, 2014 Is it just me, or does it appear they had to pull a "Sierra Sidewinder" here when the Column ended up a little "short?"
CPSFMMCW Posted May 2, 2014 Posted May 2, 2014 that logo ride entrance sign looks awesome! and glad they bolted that track into place! Got me nervous with it just sitting there in place without being bolted! I knew they would fix it before it opened, but what if it rained heavily or something and it slid out of place! I'm not saying it could've been possible, but it sure would've been bad!
PCW_Nut Posted May 3, 2014 Posted May 3, 2014 Supports in the parking lot for what I'm guessing is the triple drop waterside everyone is talking about and that the radio as mentions.
coastercrazy216 Posted May 3, 2014 Posted May 3, 2014 Cedar Fair has some fantastic graphic designers! I love all of the logos they have been doing recently!
Nrthwnd Posted May 3, 2014 Posted May 3, 2014 Love the sign, hope the attraction's as good, when it opens.
Dom497 Posted May 3, 2014 Posted May 3, 2014 Supports in the parking lot for what I'm guessing is the triple drop waterside everyone is talking about and that the radio as mentions. The structure is for a cell tower. Here's the permit I found a while back which was filed in 2012 for the tower. http://www.vaughan.ca/council/minutes_agendas/AgendaItems/CWA0904_23.pdf The description and diagrams perfectly match what we have seen. Also the ad on the radios makes NO MENTION of a "NEW" waterslide...just a triple drop (probably referring to the Plunge).
Kenny B Posted May 3, 2014 Posted May 3, 2014 Cedar Fair has some fantastic graphic designers! I love all of the logos they have been doing recently! Couldn't agree with you more. The sign looks great!

I'll say this, that's one funky looking cell tower lol
eastcoast Posted May 3, 2014 Posted May 3, 2014 Think I'm going to go with PCW_nut on this one. Just don't see those supports being for a cell tower. Time will tell.
