Does any other large park with a large parking lot have problems with full capacity lots? this is the first time Ive seen cars full on both sides except 50 spots near the back where busses were parkerd.

Welcome to Canada's Wonderland! There is no such thing as "empty" days anymore unless you go after a thunderstorm on the same day.... [emoji13]

[WonderlandFan]

This is what our park should do. Tear down all of our horrible coasters and replace them with new ones.

 

-Skyrider // Ziz a multi launch ring rider

-The Great Canadian Minebuster // Ironbuster RMC hybrid

-Dragon Fire // Intamin blitz coaster

-Flight Deck // B&M Invert

-Time Warp // B&M Flyer

-Wild Beast // GCI Woodie

-The Fly + The Bat // B&M Floorless

 

New Line Up

- Leviathan

- Behemoth

- Stunt Coaster

- Vortex

- Thunder Run

- Ziz

- Ironbuster

- Blitz Coaster

- B&M Invert

- B&M Flyer

- B&M Floorless

- GCI Woodie

 

That would be amazing...

^Keep dreaming

[CedarFair1]

Teasing coming soon, Shannon Kelly is the PR manager and she is absolutely amazing, very personable and a breath of fresh air. Also happy to see Canada's Wonderland is extremely busy to the point of pretty much full capacity parking lot which I have never seen before and their PR manager seems happy

[canadianparkfan]

^That's awesome to see that teasing should start soon!

 

Hoping for something big, but then again, don't wanna jinx it!

We need a new ride that has great capacity because of how crowded it is.

Yes, depending on the weather and special events I have seen it happen before. When its happened, I've seen parks use some type of auxiliary lot that they overflow into, which is usually grass or gravel. Not sure if CW has any of those areas around.

^They did but sold the land off years ago.

So I was doing some YouTubing and I came across two really really really interesting videos. Figured I would talk about since we have literally nothing else to talk about.

 

The most interesting video I don't know if I can post here because I don't know what the rules are of what can be recorded and not (aka...inside the mountain). But it does appear to filmed by the CEO of Triotech. The first video can be found on YouTube by searching "Making of Wonder Mountain's Guardian" and sort by upload date. There are few shockers in the video. Here are my thoughts.

 

Intro (10 seconds): Goes to show how good Triotech animations can be....yet we didn't see this in WMG or Iron Reef....

 

"The Mountain Before: January 2015 - " Very interesting look inside the mountain before construction began. I've never gone to any of the CW Mania events so I really loved this scene.

 

Unveiling: August 2013 - Most disappointing announcement in the history of amusement parks. At least they left out the part where he said it would be better than Disney.

 

Design and Development: September 2013 - Wait a sec, they announced this ride before they even started developing????? Now it all makes sense....

 

Proof of Concept: February 2014 - IMO, February is a bit late for proof of concept...but at least it looks like they tried testing it before actually installing it. The animations also look a lot clearer/better than the actual ride.

 

Ride Construction: Sprint 2014 - There are some really nice behind the scene video clips in this part. It also looks like they may have been having problems with the guns early on as the ones in the video are yellow (and they look all wired up so I wouldn't think that they are just dummy guns). Also looks like they really beefed up support in the bottom for the drop track area. Also, am I going crazy or is the track ascending after the turns?!?! And it got really dusty in there; how did the construction workers even breathe? There are a also a few quick shots of the transfer track.

 

Opening: Summer 2014 - Video of when the mist/fog was still an active part of the ride.

 

So that's the behind the scenes video. The second one is from Triotech's youtube page:

 

 

The video just contains a few more BTS stuff but then this appears:

 

Huh?

 

Is Triotech planning to sell the WMG concept to other customers or was this one of the early layouts of the ride?

[canadianparkfan]

^Very interesting

[TorontoFCfan]

More track has been made at that B&M track manufacturing plant. This time it is Brown with Grey supports. It is most likely Valravn's, But if you compare Ziz and Valravn, Ziz's colour scheme looks more like those colours while Valravn would be more Midnight Blueish, Purple and Black. I could be wrong, but that red track is still there. I thought it was already gone to China for their Wingrider.....

 

Also I would like to add, I've been thinking a lot about that land clearing behind Backlot and that dirt pile by Minebuster. What if they will be extending the layout of Minebuster if they would be giving it the RMC Ironbuster makeover, and that dirt pile was supposed to act like a terrain element while the land clearing by Backlot would be full of overbanks and inversions. Just a guess tho, we will have to wait and see.

 

ALSO (Lol), Would Cedar Fair add two Dive Coasters in one year? CW and CP? Just guessing if that would be Cedar Fair's way of Debuting theeir first Dive Machines. Just a guess.

How do you know that more track has been made at that B&M track manufacturing plant?

What if both are launching dive machines. CF and B&M would have something to be proud off.

As I stated on another thread, I think that some of the track at the plant is for the rumored CW coaster. Personally don't think CP will be receiving a dive coaster.

 

Some "hints" (using the term quite loosely) about a dark rise coming to CP were revealed on this podcast.

nope:

Intoxicator 305, the Rob Ford themed coaster -->still a better idea than 'ziz'

Interesting looks like there's spots for add ons missing from the center of this track.. AKA a launch maybe?

[canadianparkfan]

Great find.

Would b&m/cf ever think of doing a launched dive coaster combo?

[Furion]

Great find.

A launched dive coaster totally defeats the purpose, no?

[Nwstone]

He means a lift hill followed by a launch halfway through the ride I think.

[canadianparkfan]

^Yup, exactly

[CedarFair1]

impossible as the train already need a roll back section on bottom of its car and lift section it can't have 3 abilities underneath it aha
