beatle11 Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 ^I like that idea. It's almost like a new ride every year, or at least potentially. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarheel1231 Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 The lack of updates is killing me. I don't live anywhere close to Canada and I'm still anxious to see the finished product. That demo ride at IAAPA looked promising, but I'd at least like to see some pictures/updates on construction and development. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rctneil Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Just read the last few pages of updates. All sounds rather mysterious and can't wait to hear more. The throughput does sound very low but I guess they must have a way of dealing with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrillrider Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 I hope this ride is a hit. I hear that if it works out in Canada, cedar point will be getting one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thrillrider Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 I hear that magnum is sinking, so they will probably replace magnum with the new dark ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COASTER FREAK 11 Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 This ride sounds really cool!! I can't wait to see what they do with the ability to change stuff out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loop-de-loop Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 If CP wants to build a dark ride just like WMG, they're going to need a five story building. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfc Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 This ride sounds really cool!! I can't wait to see what they do with the ability to change stuff out. Â BGW did this with DarKastle after its first season of operation; they can upload new scenes directly from developers and reporgram accordingly.

COASTER FREAK 11 Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Ive only ever been on DarKastle 3 times I think, Ive never noticed any differences. Though, it was years between rides hahaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfc Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 (edited) ^They changed a couple of scenes after the first season, but haven't made any big changes since. Â We now return you to Canada's Wonderland. Edited January 3, 2014 by cfc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarheel1231 Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 (edited) Since the park is denying us our right to see what progress has been made on Wonder Mountain's Guardian , here is all the information we know about the ride including renderings: Â - the ride will cost approximately $10 million - 4D interactive dark ride with the core thrill being heavily based on graphics - uses 3D projection (riders will wear 3D glasses) - uses wind, movement and other special effects to add the 4th dimension - riders will board inside of the mountain near ground level - the ride will exit the mountain and climb the lift on the mountain exterior - at the 60' level the ride will plunge back into the mountain - there will be 5 levels including a draconian city, and underground lake, a desolate forest, and an unmentioned level - the story is supposed to end with a twist - the main character/monster is herman the dragon from thunder run - there will be multiple drops throughout the ride - 1000 feet of coaster track - the ride is gravity-driven - longest interactive wall in the world - highly sensitive targeting guns that will "interact" with the environment - content of the ride can be easily changed to vary the experience - there will be 5 trains, each with 8 riders - approximately 640 pph - the engineering department at Wonderland is currently working on designing the track - the experience changes every year. For 2014, the game is called "Guardian: Quest for Gold". At Haunt time, the ride will be themed to zombies - the ride system will be manufactured by triotech. - you'll be able to buy your photo at the end of the ride - instead of a laser dot to show the difference of who shoots, guests can pick from a handful of avatars like smileys and skulls - if the ride is a success, more dark rides will show up in Cedar Fair parks - supposed to be open by may 2014 Â Construction photos by asimowalk are on page 508 Edited January 7, 2014 by tarheel1231 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1pizza14 Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 I wish the park would share some construction photos of the ride, seems very odd they are so hush hush about it. It's not like Leviathan / Behemoth where construction could be seen from outside the park, where as Guardian is out of sight from outside the park.

coasterkyle Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Since the park is denying us our right to see what progress has been made on Wonder Mountain's Guardian What right? They don't have to show anything. We could go back to before the internet and just get an announcement telling us whats new for next season. Then seeing it for the first time the next season w/o any updates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CorkscrewFoley Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 Am I the only one who thinks they're doing an overhaul to Thunder Run, and adding the guns to each car? It's just this weird feeling I have had since they announced it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just this weird feeling I have had since they announced it... No. The park has stated many times that Thunder Run is staying. There have been holes punched into the mountain to add the ride. Construction pictures are on 508. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kunpc1 Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Construction update has been posted on Canada's Wonderland's Facebook page. Lots of foundation and mountain work being done along with track, brakes and lots of drive wheels/motors. Two of the captions describe items in this delivery arrived from Germany.
