PATTYCAKES 0 Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Edgeboy, there has never been a year-round haunted house open to the public. However, most of Wonderland's Halloween Haunt mazes are indeed set up, in tents and in the mountain, but these have never been open to the public during the regular season. I don't known where you heard that. It sounds like the rumour people used to say back in the 80's, when the mountain use to rotate at 12 noon everyday. Link to post Share on other sites

If you look at his reply comment, he corrected his mistake and realized it was the Maison Rouge at La Ronde. Although, it would be neat to have a year round haunted attraction outside of the Halloween Haunt season at Canada's Wonderland. Link to post Share on other sites

Johnlloyd 4 Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 I am going tomorrow. Anyone know how crowds are like on the Tuesday after a long weekend? The crowds should be quite decent, based on previous experience of visiting the park after a long weekend. Enjoy your day at the park! Link to post Share on other sites

robbalvey 76 Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 (edited) Two New Rides, Expanded Splash Area Coming to Canada’s Wonderland for 2018! Canada’s Wonderland will be adding two new rides, Lumberjack and Flying Canoes, along with an expanded play and splash area for children in 2018! From new thrills, to family fun, to splash zones, the upcoming season will provide new experiences and memories for the whole family. Vaughan, ON, Aug. 16, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Canada’s Wonderland will be adding two new rides, Lumberjack and Flying Canoes, along with an expanded play and splash area for children in 2018. Lumberjack is a thrill ride that will take guests soaring to heights of 75 feet (21m) on two swinging axe pendulums, propelling them into a looping 360 degree experience. Flying Canoes is an interactive family ride that will allow riders to control their journey of flight in two-person canoes that rotate speedily around a circuit. Splash Island’s children’s pool in Splash Works will be expanded to double its size and feature all-new interactive spray features. “Each year, we are dedicated to providing our guests with new world-class thrills and family entertainment,” Canada’s Wonderland vice president and general manager Norm Pirtovshek said. “For the 2018 season, our three new attractions will add to our diverse collection of rides and experiences that will capture the imagination of thrill seekers of all ages.” 2018 Season Passes are now on sale for the lowest price of the year, and include unlimited visits in 2018 plus one free visit during the remainder of the 2017 season, excluding Halloween Haunt. For more information, or to purchase tickets, visit www.canadaswonderland.com. The best offer ends October 29, 2017. Edited August 16, 2017 by SharkTums Link to post Share on other sites
coasterbill 138 Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Excellent! This seems to be the same model as Meteor at Dorney based on the rendering. If so, I wholeheartedly approve. Link to post Share on other sites
average.coaster.fan 0 Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 I was expecting a Planet Snoopy Expansion, but this is a very nice surprise! I'm glad that Canada's Wonderland always goes for more than one Ride genre for new additions. Lumberjack looks like a well themed flat ride and will most certainly be more comfortable than the defunct Jet Screeam! Flying Canoes looks very interesting, and will be fun for families, and I can't wait to see how it runs! The Splash Island expansion, while not as exciting, will be a welcome addition to the ever-growing water park. All sorts of guests will love the new additions, and 2018 will be yet another successful year for Canada's Wonderland! Link to post Share on other sites
WolfBobs 4 Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Is it wrong of me to want the 5 people in the center canoe to be likenesses of the Griswalds? Link to post Share on other sites
Canobie Coaster 26 Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Zamperla Hawks are good flats. Canada's Wonderland just keeps getting stronger and stronger in that area. Also is it just me or does Cedar Fair seem to have a fetish for wood and timber themed rides lately? Link to post Share on other sites
Intimidator305 0 Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 For comparison sake, the Viking ship rides (Berserker KD, Southern Star Carowinds, etc.) reach 80 ft. so Lumberjack's height will be very similar to those. Once again, solid unique additions for Canada's Wonderland! Looks great. Link to post Share on other sites
DjKojackCanada 0 Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 I Really like how Wonderland is going to be adding these as part of their already great collection. I think Wonderland should be dubbed as the Flat Ride Capital of the World! I wasn't ever a fan of JetScream but the Lumberjack Ride surly makes up for the missing ride type of Jetscream, At least or I think it won't Stay upside down like JetScream did and having to pendulums side by side flipping will be a great experience. I also think throughout the 2018 Season we will see more signs and teasers and more prep work for 2019 Coaster(I Hope!) Two New Rides, Expanded Splash Area Coming to Canada’s Wonderland for 2018! Canada’s Wonderland will be adding two new rides, Lumberjack and Flying Canoes, along with an expanded play and splash area for children in 2018!

DirkFunk 0 Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 I don't hate the addition: I think Wonderland's collection of flats is about as strong as anything anywhere. But I'm also a bit like "Maybe build some more indoor stuff? You're in Toronto?" Link to post Share on other sites
boldikus 51 Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 How about that Ziz? Nah, these flats look great. Shame they didn't call one of them Ziz tho. Link to post Share on other sites
coasterbill 138 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 post Share on other sites

coastin_dude 0 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 post Share on other sites
thrillseeker4552 19 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 post Share on other sites
