megametal Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 This is great. It looks like a project KECO would have done if the technology had been available. Have I mentioned that I'm so happy the Paramount era, and indeed the Kinsel era of Cedar Fair is over? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myself Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Still looks like a drop to me. Â I really hope this ride is successful...not that I think it won't be, but as I've mentioned in the past, I'd love to see more of these pop up in the chain. I can already think of at least four other parks that would be a great fit for this attraction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPSFMMCW Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 ^ Cedar Point, Knott's, Kings Dominion, and Carowinds? Kings Island honorable mention. Â And to me, from the outside it looks like a coaster. But I'm really looking forward to seeing the inside with the POV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vistaway Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Let's hope it's got the capacity to keep those lines moving. Being built in such a popular park, in the dead center, highly-visible, and hopefully with a decent height requirement that allows families to ride, this is going to be one busy ride! Â It's looking great so far. Although Wonder Mountain is looking rough...it could use a good refurb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CPSFMMCW Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 I hate to be an awful credit whore, but that is definitely a coaster in every definition we have right? It has a normal life hill and that track is still going down, meaning the vehicle will be powered by gravity. Interesting as this looks to be the first truly roller coaster/dark ride hybrid out there. Can't wait to see more. couldn't agree more. I wonder why CW wouldn't hype it up as a roller coaster as well as a dark ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dom497 Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 To me that is just an indoor roller coaster, with theming. Kinda like Blazing Fury and Fire in the Hole.. The Canada's Wonderland ride is like a true 4d dark ride apparently and will act a lot more like a typical dark ride. The vehicles will tell a lot as well. Of course we won't know the true differences until it is completed and open. Â Actually, a member on CW Mania created an animation of the vehicles based on the pictures released by Wonderland. If the animations are accurate, there won't be any up/down motion, just left/right. Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nrthwnd Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 ^ I find it amazing, when I see that lift hill, and know that one of those  motion based, video game guns, ride vehicle (from a previous video) ... will be on that hill.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrillseeker4552 Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 I'm not a big dark ride person, but this intrigues me because it has a roller coaster part to it too. I would love to see Knott's get one of these to replace Kingdom of the Dinosaurs, assuming the one here will be successful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leviathandude306 Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Does anyone know if the waterslide parts are for splash works?.. Or will they be moved? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loop-de-loop Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 There is a strong rumor that CW will get a Splashworks renovation in 2015, so these new slides likely will be set up then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PCW_Nut Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Does anyone know if the waterslide parts are for splash works?.. Or will they be moved?

chrispat Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 We've got our season's passes ready to go for sneak peak night next Friday! Can't wait to check it out, hopefully it will be cold enough that it won't be insanely busy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PCW_Nut Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 We are set to get slides from the former Ontario Place.  I will be at the park tomorrow for the first of 3 bank days. I'll be checking out the following:  WMG update (hoping it's open based of comments they've said on FB but we shall see) Seatbelt situation on Behemoth and Leviathan (Diamondback got seatbelt so I am curious) Waterpark update  I'll keep everyone posted of anything major.

loop-de-loop Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 I really hope they don't add seatbelts to either Behemoth or Leviathan. I like just pulling down the clamshell and being ready to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leviathandude306 Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 ^Hope they keep the B&Ms the same... Hoping it's a US thing, and not a chain wide thing. Â As for WMG, I'm so pumped for this!... Provably not the best dark ride or coaster, but hopefully an awesome combo of both. Â Overall, it should combine my two loves... Coasters and gaming.
