rcjp Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 ^^^Really cool stuff. I didn't know leviathan had been "silenced" after opening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canadianparkfan Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 ^^^^ also find this really interesting! Would explain why Leviathan sounded quieter this past year. Â Wonder if this means we're certain to be getting a B&M as our next coaster after all. Maybe a company like intamin or Mack will have a chance to step in and do something great at the park.

JRice92 Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 ^x5 That's some great information I enjoyed reading. I've never made it out to Canada's Wonderland but maybe in the next few years I'll plan a visit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Password121 Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 I haven't been up to date on rumors for the supposed 2016 coaster, but with Cedar Point's rumored Dive coaster for 2016, as well as potential projects at Kings Dominion or Valleyfair, what's the current opinion on the 2016 project? Could the CF coaster budget be split among two, or even three parks next year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcjp Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 ^I don't know but given that dive coasters are "cheaper" than most other rides of their size maybe that's possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mightypotato Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Woodies are also remarkably cheaper than a steel coaster. Outlaw Run and Goliath were in the $10 million range and a GCI will come in under that. So, anything's possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway most of us think it will be called Ziz and will be a wing coaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VF15 Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 I think a GCI or RMC woodie would be a good fit for Canada's Wonderland because even though they have two wooden coasters already, from what I've heard, they're both rough pieces of trash, which basically means that Canada's Wonderland lacks a decent wooden coaster. Also, maybe once Cedar Fair starts doing business with RMC, maybe they could turn one of the bad woodies into an amazing RMC hybrid coaster. Even though some sort of B&M is probably what their next coaster will be, I think the park deserves an upgrade in the wooden coaster department sometime.

tututiara Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 ^ Hopefully Cedar Fair will do business with RMC soon. I'd love to see a new woodie at Canada's Wonderland, though. It's a great park with not very great woodies in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Peck Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Yes, my trip to Wonderland back in october found me very much disliking the wood coasters this time (I loved them back in 2001 and 2004, and not so much in 2006). Both rides had significant problems, that could be simple fixes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Mighty Canadian Minebuster is ok and Wild Best is also getting re-tracked. But I do agree that it would be a good fit. The only problem with turning one of those two coasters in to a hybrid, is that they are both pretty small, so it would be better if they could just take out one of those woodies, still keep the wood, but then build an amazing RMC.

Lareson Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 I do wonder if GCI and Cedar Fair will continue working on their wooden coasters. They worked on Shivering Timbers, Hurler (at Carowinds,) and Grizzly (at CA Great America) last year so I do wonder if the other parks in the chain will also be requesting them to come out and do some track work on them since they did a great job. Minebuster and Wild Beast would be great candidates for re-tracking and possibly some re-profiling. I do know the work they did on Shivering Timbers with the turn-around was great. They even corrected the banking coming out of the turn to a more heartline-like banking. You can check it out in the TPR POV of Timbers. Â I do hope that will lead to another GCI coaster being built somewhere in the chain. Canada's Wonderland would be an excellent candidate for one since their current wooden coasters are a bit lackluster and dated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicman Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 ^Wild beast was getting retracked a few months ago, I do not think it was getting retracked by GCI. I think Canada's Wonderland will probably retrack mighty Canadian Minbuster eventually, but it would probably be the same company that retracked Wild Beast.

Unfortunately I don't think we will be seeing an RMC hybrid for a while at CW. Based on hints that have been dropped I think a launched B&M wing coaster will be coming in 2016. And while that's nowhere near what I would like to see come to the park as an enthusiast, from a business standpoint it makes sense. I'm just thankful the park is home to 2 other great beemers.

nicman Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 ^With attendance that CW has, we are probably not going to get a launched coaster because of the low capacity of launched coasters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrillseeker4552 Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 ^With attendance that CW has, we are probably not going to get a launched coaster because of the low capacity of launched coasters. Â What about a B&M launch coaster? I'm sure B&M could build a launch coaster with just as good of a capacity as Leviathan or Behemoth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcjp Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 ^I'm not so sure. There aren't many (if any) LSM launched coasters around with 32 seat trains. I can't tell why (probably the cost of launching such heavy trains) but don't forget Thunderbird only has 5 cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AaronYee Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 something as awesome as helix would be great, remember cedar fair still works with mack, so we may see a mack launched coaster go into the forest behind splashworks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
