Angle O. Descent Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 What we really need is a modern, quality, looping/launch coaster. It could either go where SkyRider was, or just rip out Flight Deck and Time Warp and put it there. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vonni Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 ^ Yes, I'd love to see a launched looper where Skyrider was, but I still want to reserve the Flight Deck and Time Warp plot for an awesome B&M Invert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnlloyd Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Soaring Timbers looks so awesome. Â Yes, it sure does. Although, I'm slightly disappointed how it appears that the "wooden look" as seen in the original conceptual art has been removed. Hopefully Soaring Timbers looks pleasantly appealing like the other rides at the park.

PATTYCAKES Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 You shouldn't be surprised John, as none of Wonderland's rides have ever really been 'themed'. Paint it brown and green and we can pretend it looks like a tree. xx  Do we know yet, where in the park this is going to be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although, I was quite impressed with the installations of Skyhawk and Flying Eagles last year. As for where Soaring Timbers might go, I've heard that it may be going where Pro Putt in International Festival is. Although, nothing has been confirmed yet. We'll just have to wait and see.  EDIT: Upon further inspection of the recent conceptual art that was released, it does appear that Soaring Timbers does in fact have a wood grain look as the brown paint does not appear to be solid.

Johnlloyd Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 Canada's Wonderland has officially given us a hint as to where Soaring Timbers will be installed! It looks like the life of Pro Putt mini golf course has come to an end. I'm hoping they plant more trees in the area to really give Soaring Timbers that "soaring timbers" effect.

PATTYCAKES Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 That's a really strange picture. The Fly can't be on both sides of that view with Vortex and the mountain in the middle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtstonge Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 That photo is a flattened 360 degree photo sphere. I've converted it back to a 3D photo sphere and I've made a video which makes it much easier to see the ride location and the construction progress.

PATTYCAKES Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 It looks like it is pretty far away from the Mini-golf booth. Are we sure that the Mini-golf is leaving? If it is more over behind Shockwave, then perhaps it is Wonder Tour that is leaving or being re-routed. The entrance could be on the north side of The Fly. There would be space for a new plaza over there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is more over behind Shockwave, then perhaps it is Wonder Tour that is leaving or being re-routed. The entrance could be on the north side of The Fly. There would be space for a new plaza over there. Â Judging by the video above, and by the satellite imagery below, it appears that the Pro Putt Mimi Golf, along with the Pro Putt Mini Golf Both was removed. In the video, you can see the row of vending machines that sat alongside the booth, between the foot long hot dog booth. If the Pro Putt booth was still there, you wouldn't be able to see the vending machines. Also, a lot of tree removal had occurred. Also, the clearing definitely occurred where Pro Putt was located as Vortex is clearly seen in the background. So,I'm very positive that Soaring Timbers in being installed where Pro Putt was located. It may be hard for some that Pro Putt was removed but, it had a great 23 years of use, which was quite long for a mini golf course of its size and location.

Johnlloyd Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Vortex at Canada's Wonderland had began testing on Friday! Only 31 days until Season Pass Sneak Preview Night and 34 days until the park officially opens for the season!

Johnlloyd Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Freshly painted too? Â Vortex had received the fresh coat of paint for its 25th anniversary last year. Also, the park added fountains between the helices of Vortex last year as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vistaway Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Ah, right. Well, still looking great a year later. One of my few must-rides whenever I am at the park. I wish they could ditch the OTSRs, but that's a minor quibble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dubsteps Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Was the mountain ever painted recently? About 5 yrs ago I was there and the mountain looked very grimy and ditry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Wonder Mountain does get quite grimy and dirty but, that is due to the weather and pollution. I'm not too sure if it was repainted recently but I do know that it does get repainted (in sections) and cleaned every so many years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â I will be there for Season Pass Sneak Preview Night. If you would like to meet up, you can join me for an evening of fun at the park! I would come but the GO Bus service doesn't start until opening day, and last time was a nightmare. It took us about 1 hour and 30 minutes to get there on the york region transit, but on the way back that bus wasn't running so we took almost 2 hours of local busses. And this year they have the bring a friend day on preview night so it would probably be pretty busy too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
