I need some help from frequent canada's wonderland visitors

[vertgforces]

Hey, for those of you who visit paramount's canada's wonderland often or are just good at these types of questions...i'm may be spending a day or maybe even less at PCW soon, and i need to know if you think i can ride every coaster there in that amount of time, and if i can't which ones should i bother skipping?(I'd also like to ride the giant flats too, so comment on that if you can)

I think I can help you out here. I find PCW's flat rides better than their coasters. As you enter the park, take a left and head for Italian Job Stunt Track, it gets a huge line quickly. The giant flats are in this area too and they are NOT TO BE MISSED.

 

Flats worth hitting are...

 

Huss Jump 2 (Sledgehammer)

Huss UFO (Nightmares)

Huss Sky Lab (one of the last ones!!)

Mondial Revolution (Psyclone)

Mondial Top Scan (Shockwave)

Mondial Splash Over (Cliffhanger)

 

Then there's the Intamin Gen 2 drop tower Drop Zone. I like these towers but this one seems to always break down.

 

Italian Job - Great new Premier LIM coaster with ::gasp:: theming!!

 

Wild Beast - It's a mediocre wooden coaster, worth a ride.

 

Dragon Fire - Arrow loop/corkscrew... decent.

 

The Bat - Unless you like Vekoma boomerangs, skip it.

 

Vortex - Arrow suspended coaster (endangered species) I've never seen more than a 15 minute wait for it, but i could be wrong. Hit this one.

 

The Fly - This is the best Wild Mouse I've been on, don't miss it.

 

Thunder Run - (I dont count this as a coaster since its powered)

This ride's pretty neat but not worth more than a 20 minute wait. It's a dark coaster mine-train ride inside Wonder Mountain. It's very short so you go around twice.

 

Mine Buster aka Spine Buster, it's a very rough wooden coaster, I don't reccomend it.

 

Top Gun - Skip it unless you like painful Vekoma SLC's.

 

Sky Rider - TOGO Standup Skip it unless you don't plan on having children in the future.

 

Tomb Raider - A lot of people don't like the Zamperla Volare coasters because of the cage-car you ride in and the painful sharp turns. I didn't find it to be THAT bad, but consider yourself warned.

 

Silver Streak - Vekoma family suspended... Never has a line, if you need the credit...

 

Taxi Jam - Save this one for the kiddies.

 

Ghoster Coaster - Ditto here.

 

I did the whole park in less than a day, jus make sure you go on a weekday, if the weather sucks, the rest of the park will be crowded as on hot days, the water park soaks up a lot of the crowd.

 

If you have any more questions, feel free to ask.

Ghoster Coaster - Ditto here.

 

Don't save the "ghoster" for the kiddies. It is the only good woodie left. Wilde Beast is uneventful and MCMB is a spoiled coaster.

 

I do agree on the Top Gun though. It is the worse SLC I have been on to date, and people line up hours for it.

<--- Has waited over an hour to ride Top Gun before, on multiple occasions:oops:

 

Anyway, I would definatly recomend getting on Orbiter (Skylab). It is one of my favorite rides at the park.

 

Skyrider (Togo Standup) in my opinion is a good ride. Probably one of the best coasters at the park. For all the complaining that people do about Togo's I really have never found Skyrider to be rough at all. It has some great airtime and doesn't really get that long of a line. I find as long as you don't squeeze the shoulder restraints in too tight and don't have the seat wedged up your ass it gives a decently smooth ride.

^ Don't feel so bad. I myself waited about 1:45 for it last summer. Put that together with my 45 minute wait for "Tomb Raider: The Cage" and I waited 2hours and 30minutes for the worst 1-2 combination ever.

How're the lines for IJST in the very recent future? Have they died down even a little bit?

 

I know with ou rnew coaster (SFNE's Pandemonium) the line just seems to get longer every week.
