Canada's Wonderland Discussion Thread

[loop-de-loop]

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.

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.

^With attendance that CW has, we are probably not going to get a launched coaster because of the low capacity of launched coasters.

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.

^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.

I guess we'll find out when Thunderbird opens.

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

That's true. But even a B&M with 6 cars could have great capacity (maybe not as good as Behemoth or Leviathan, but better than most launch coasters). I don't know, it's just a thought.

Would love to see that happen, even though I have my doubts. Behemoth and Leviathan are great,but tbh, I'm kind of getting sick of B&Ms, as all this part of the country really has in terms of large coasters is beemers.

[nicman]

^I kinda agree but I would still prefer another B&M over no new coaster at all.

This is what I would call a luxury problem.

Yes, just be happy Canada's Wonderland has two awesome Hyper/Giga coasters. These Cedar Fair parks do not have any Giga Coasters or really good Hyper coasters:

 

-Knott's Berry Farm

-Michigan's Adventure

-California's Great America

-World's Of Fun

-Valleyfair

-Dorney Park

Steel force is good and Mamba isnt to bad. And wild thing has a decent first drop and some floater air. Better then nothing

[nicman]

^I meant like a really good coaster with lots of airtime and that is smooth.

Prowler and renegade fit those descriptions.

[nicman]

^But they are not Hyper or Giga coasters.

Umm...the Morgan hypers all fit in that category. Granted, there's not as much airtime as a B&M or Intamin mega coaster, but there's still quite a bit. Maybe you actually ride Mamba, Steel Force, or Wild Thing before you write them off.

No one on here is complaining that the park got a hyper and a giga.

Though it's not a crime to wish for some variety.

Agreed. I honestly don't enjoy parks as much that are very B&M-heavy. Unless it's Busch Gardens Tampa.

[nicman]

^^I could enjoy a park with several B&M's but it would still be better if the park could also have a Intamin coaster and maybe even an RMC.

^ Nailed it. Steel Force (which I have actually been on) is very smooth and has great airtime on the bunny hops at the end. Also, with earlier mention of Knott's and Michigan's Adventure, Xcelerator and Shivering Timbers are both world class coasters that are very worthy of headlining a Cedar Fair Park (or any park). It doesn't take a Giga or a B&M hyper to have some good thrills

The park operating hours are now out. Opening May 3!

Just a quick question to anyone who may know.If I buy the platinum season pass through the Canada's Wonderland web site,is it in Canadian dollars or US dollars?

[ImNotOneOfYou]

^I meant like a really good coaster with lots of airtime and that is smooth.

Steel Force is a very smooth roller coaster. Although there isn't any ejector airtime, there is lots of floaty airtime. Steel Force is one of my favorite hypercoasters

It's in Canadian funds. You know...being in Canada and whatnot.
