Canada's Wonderland Discussion Thread


Recommended Posts

So interesting topic of discussion, what could the large redevelopment program be?

 

 

According to Phillips, Wonderland will be undergoing a large redevelopment program after Sept. 1. Currently, SkyRider sits on 5,100 square metres of prime space right between the Splash Works and the mountain. Here, Wonderland saw an opportunity.

 

“We like to space out (our ideas) over time and we always want to be innovative and leading the industry,” Phillips said. “Guests still like it and it’s a great attraction, but you have to look within the park to understand what’s best for the future.”

 

“The plan is to develop the land for future use. It’s on a prime piece of land in the middle of our park,” Phillips said of SkyRider.

 

“Based on our history at the park, if you look at what’s happened since 2008, we’ve put in two of the top 10 fastest coasters in North America and we’re ranked as one of the top three parks in North America. We’ve put in Behemoth and Leviathan. I can’t define how long it will take, but guests should be excited (about what’s to come),” he added.

With the ridiculous amount of money and attendance CF is raking in because of CW lately, it's hard to imagine just how big the future is for CW. The future is definitely holding great thing, specifically 2017

 

Are you referring to our worlds longest with two launches wing coaster ;0

NO IT WASN'T! No one discussed the fact that wonderland was now under a redevelopment project. we only talked about a new coaster not a massive multi year redevelopment of Canada's Wonderland..

Don't take credit for mentioning those things. You're not the only person on the thread. Sure we talked about a coaster a lot, but it wasn't limited to that.

 

no one mentioned a multi year redevelopment of Canada's Wonderland. we talked about small additions not a large redevelopment... those are very important words as it says a lot of money is about to be invested into the park.

 

And many people on this forum and other forums can vouch i talked about the family rides and bbq and brew and almost everyone was like nah man it's a coaster. You didn't cause I don't remember you, but most thought I was wrong.

Small update;

 

upon arrival I saw small amount of Canada's Wonderland Maintenance workers around the dirt pile beside Minebuster. I thought Minebuster maybe was shut down due to a small problem but it was working. There is metal fencing laid down on the ground next to the power supply station next to Stunt coaster with a people lifter there now where the workers were around. They also had dug up the splash works path again at some point and were re laying some bricks again. There is also a small patch of grass cautioned taped off next to Black Hole in Splash Works. 2016 is looking even more like a Splash Works investment and more land prep for 2017, interesting how their working on the power supply station next to Stunt Coaster cough cough multi launch wing coaster

I think they should put a family coaster/flats in Skyrider's spot and take out Flight Deck and Time Warp and put in a bigger coaster there.

 

I have been saying move Flight Deck to VF for a couple years now. Put a nice B&M invert at CW

Reposting what KI Kidd posted in the development section;

 

I would highly suggest reading through the Cedar Point Analyst Day release on the CF website. It has some great info on performance so far this year as well as a very interesting five year capital expenditures matrix. The oft discussed pie chart of park-by-park revenues and EBITDA is also present.

 

Looks like park EBITDA broke down as follows so far this year:

1) Cedar Point

2) Knott's

3) Kings Island

4) Canada's Wonderland

5) Carowinds

6) Kings Dominion

7) Dorney

8) Worlds of Fun

9) California's Great America

10) Valleyfair

11) Michigan's Adventure

 

There are also some interesting notes from the five year capital expenditure matrix.

-Major coaster projects each year through 2020

-"Coaster Re-Work" projects for 2016-2018

-Mid-size thrill rides for 2016-2017 and 2019-2020

-Interactive Dark Rides for 2016-2019

-Accommodation expenditures in 2017 & 2019

-Ride Removals in 2016-2018

I agree. Flight Deck at VF would be a good fit. Time Warp could go to DP or even MIA.
