coasterbill Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 (edited) Also is it just me or does Cedar Fair seem to have a fetish for wood and timber themed rides lately? They do everywhere but with this, Soaring Timbers and some of their other recent additions I feel like they're pushing it really hard at Wonderland. I sort of feel like they're trying to make everything feel as Canadian as possible but it's a really cliche Canadian theme. Just theme everything to timber, pine trees and rocks. Oh... and put a f*cking bear out front for no reason. Canadians love bears. The waterslide? I don't know, name it... Muskoka plunge. Google says that Muskoka is a place in Canada. It's perfect. Market research complete. 99% of park guests arrive to the park riding a moose. They love that sh*t. Edited August 16, 2017 by coasterbill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coastin_dude Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Canada's Wonderland is going through what KD went through; A coaster drought. And the GP is ANGRY. As if they were expecting a coaster with no teasers and no construction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrillseeker4552 Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Lumberjack looks good. This park just kills it in the flat ride department. The variety (and quality!) they have is outstanding. They could add 5 more roller coasters back-to-back and still be a well-rounded park. Impressive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(taken at Wonderland, lol) -- so ridiculous. also: we watched the the Cirque Canadien show, it was absolutely hilarious. The stereotypes, just, wow... hockey players making music with their sticks? Check. Raccoons doing sketch comedy? Check. Lumberjacks doing flips? Check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KPfan Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Didn't care much for Soaring Timbers. Good family ride though! As for Lumberjack, it's similar to Kennywood's Aero 360 which fantastic. One of my favorite flat rides. Sent from my LG-H910 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superbatboy Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 CW sure does have quite the flat collection! This one has always intrigued me however Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rill'o'beily Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 CW sure does have quite the flat collection! This one has always intrigued me however I wouldn't hate it if some other park somewhere got another one of these (HUSS still sells them but they stopped selling the very popular breakdance 1, 2 and 3???) and that'd be a less prototypey version, possibly have the ability to be a bit more intense and obviously more reliable. Because it really is a fantastic asset to have in visual value and impact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT325 Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 ^^Sledgehammer was a VERY popular ride when I was at the park in 2014. I had heard so much about it, etc. It felt a little over-hyped once I rode it. Perhaps it would be better with the seats facing outwards? Don't get me wrong, fun ride, just wasn't blown away with it. I would take that massive Orbiter (HUSS Skylab) over it any day. Kings Island used to have one of those... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Married a Canadian Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 They are missing out on a Meet the Mountie greeting area and a water slide called Niagara Falls. I have a sneaking suspicion that they will build a slide that uses maple syrup instead of water and then call it Niagara falls. Nice couple of additions for 2018. You will never please everyone. I have always said that I trust Cedar Fair in how they run this park, and I think some people tend to forget the last days of Paramount and how "little" was added to the park in that time. If you list all the additions since Cedar Fair took over (including Behemoth, Leviathan and WMG) it isn't a short list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CedarFair1 Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 Looks like KingsWood Theatre is biting the dust to make room for the new indoor water park/ resort. The theatre is usually home to a halloween haunt maze, but that maze has been discontinued this year and nothing to replace it. Also the theatre can be seen being torn apart along with a new entrance to the park being built beside it with two entrance booths that have appeared with wiring. I'm assuming with no knowledge that the hotel may go where Kings Wood Theatre is with that near by entrance to the park for hotel guests. Now the parking lot near this site has new construction markers all over it that cover such a large area and this could be for a parking garage as our parking lot this summer has reached beyond max capacity on most weekends and if this hotel is going here like rumoured it will eat up some spots as well. Attached below are the pictures showing how full our parking lot gets with cars parked on the grass this season (never seen this before) and the new construction markers on a large portion of the parking lot near to the rumoured resort site. So FULL! I've never seen the parking lot this full! Canada's Wonderland is having an amazing season! Parking Garage is going to be needed soon :0 new markings appeared in the parking lot, all located near kings wood and seem to be blocking in a large portion of the lot. mass amount of markings headed toward front gate Looks like some demolition in Kings Wood with no signs of Haunt. This theatre hasn't been used this year to my knowledge neither except for a christian rock band concert. new entrance with two new booths added which look like front gate pass/ ticket scanners coming. The new entrance located next to the rumoured future site of the resort Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicman Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Interesting location, i almost forgot about the possibility of removing that theater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin.627 Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 About your post with the new parking lot markings. I have no idea what that is. Also you said their building a new entrance with scanners? Actually the "new" Kingswood Theatre entrance was built last off season. Also yes there is scanners at that newly redone entrance. I know in fact it was built off season because I had a wind orchestra concert in the theatre in May this year. They're in the midst of refurbishing the seats because when we were there they had crew cleaning and re putting the new seats in. They usually also every season replace or put away the black curtains/plastic raps so they don't get damaged in the colder months. Also by this time this year they usually start taking out the seats in the amphitheatre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prof Kaos Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 I'm looking forward to Lumberjack next year. Obviously I'm eager for a new coaster one day, but new flats are also appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PATTYCAKES Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 That "opening in the fence" has always been there, however it used to be an exit for when they used to have concert nights. It looks like they are refurbishing Kingswood, not removing it. That's why the new sign says Kingswood events entrance. They will need a separate entrance for hotel guests who are not actually going in the park. If there is a separate entrance now and replacing the seats, perhaps we will be getting concerts again next year. That would be amazing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thirstydeer Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Has anyone else not been receiving e-newsletters from the park despite signing up on the website? Last night I wondered when they will announce the ability to renew season passes, which usually means the announcement of next year's additions, so I went on the website. Turns out both were already announced - and now by looking back in this thread, they were announced a while ago - yet I haven't heard a peep from the park in my inbox in months.
