La Ronde isn't the nicest park to go to... Wonderland is a lot better compared to La Ronde. Â Â Â I went last year. It wasn't terrible, but at the same time, it wasn't the best park I've been to. I remember walking around for a few hours, looking around at attractions, rides, games, etc. And literally building a plan in my head of what I would do if I were in charge of that park. Â Crazy to think though, that La Ronde had 2 B&M's before Wonderland even got their first. Goes to further reinforce how much Paramount took advantage of Wonderland and their attendance, and on the flip side, show's how much business sense Cedar Fair has to put the money where it needs to be. Â Â On a side note though WonderlandFan, you are definitely a brave soul identifying that you are from Sudbury. Although I do not live there any more, I am born & raised in the Bury, and tend to keep that information close to me, like a pair of Aces.

canadianparkfan Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 ^Visited there a few times myself. Sudbury's definetly not the most beautiful city in Canada, but certainly not the worst either! When I've visited friends there, always shocked how much greenery and water is around the area. In a way, guess it's like la ronde! (not great, but at least average). Â Anyway, back on topic to things down in southern Ontario. Anybody have word on construction activity at the park? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WonderlandFan Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 Suds ain't that bad I think I am making my trip in August and in October so I can get construction picks for our 2015 attraction and Haunt construction photos too. When I go back for Haunt I'll get tons of Haunt pics and more construction updates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CedarFair1 Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 For those that have been finding me a bit negative I'm sorry, In honor of you I will start posting why construction maybe has stopped at Canada's Wonderland. Below I will post a photo of construction in September on Gatekeeper. No stakes, no footers and hardly anything done.. So if you compare our site to theirs then maybe you have reason to hold onto hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canadianparkfan Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Like I said on CWMania, I really don't get why they did all this work (including removing skyrider & stating something would take its place), just to suddenly stop construction. Â I get that gatekeeper didn't start construction (or at least go vertical) until September, but still... Why do all this work and essentially leave the site unfinished? Â Do the construction crews have some kind of week off/holiday? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cdcruizer05 Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 How many clicks do they require for Leviathan in order to ride? I'm a bigger guy, Fury 325 required 3 clicks, so i couldn't ride... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dom497 Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 3 clicks for Leviathan. As far as I know, all B&M Hypers/Giga's are 3 clicks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canadianparkfan Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 After hearing about the teasers going on at CP for their supposed new coaster, even more confused as to what's going on! Obviously CP is getting something big next year, but where does that leave CW? Still perplexed as to why they'd do all that work by minebuster and remove skyrider in such a hurry if we aren't getting anything new for at least a year.

Â They are getting a massive new coaster in 2016 they have a coaster countdown on their construction fence. They let alone have a construction fence, we don't. Â Also view it this way; Â Hotel Breakers approx 700 rooms currently fully booked every weekend and most weekdays= $245, 000 USD daily on that one hotel now add all their other hotels incomes daily to that and this is why Cedar Point is getting some love now. I'd expect to see a lot of love heading their way continously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canadianparkfan Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 ^I get that the hotels are making CP more than enough cash to pay for another major coaster, but somebody else made a good point on CWMania. CP's "construction fence" has absolutely no signs of construction behind it (apparently there's newly planted grass there). At least we've seen construction equipment show up on site, and the flattening of the land around skyrider's old spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Again, they have an announcement date, teasers, trademarked name, construction fence. Dive Coasters are very simple to build as they are very minimal in length. Cedar Point is getting a major coaster in 2016 a news site even leaked that it's a Dive Coaster. All construction veichles are gone, they were from a landscape company not a construction company.

WonderlandFan Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 I don't think they'll be using the mountain for a bit though. It'd be sick if the wing rider does a key hole effect through the mountain or has a part in the mountain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vonni Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 ^ I agree. You don't want to mess with the asthetics by crowding, and cramming rides into and onto it. There is still plenty of space all over the park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WonderlandMan Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Hey Everyone. After living in the GTA for a long time, I finally have the chance to see the firework show at CW on July 1st. Just wondering if anyone has some insight on where to sit/when to arrive at said spot to claim it. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PCW_Nut Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 The best view for the fireworks has always been the hill by Vortex, however if you want the full experience, and an easy exit, I would suggest by the front gate. They do launch fireworks off the top of the mountain. Â Here's a video I shot in 2012 of the Victoria Day fireworks from the area I am talking about. Forgive the shakiness as it was on my old camera.
