Canada's Wonderland Discussion Thread

Someone has to say it:

The brakerun looks long already.

Where exactly were those Dinos Alive photos taken? I can't seem to recognize the area?

Although I'm not on that bandwagon, I do have to admit it does look super long and super awkward.

I'm cool with the long breakrun, it's what's between the station and the break run that matters.

The area wraps around from behind the washrooms in Planet Snoopy (the former Bedrock Aquarium site) all the way around behind the food building in the former Bedrock/Nick area over towards the party tent.

I took the first picture by the party area as mentioned, just where the Staff entrance is. The 2nd and 3rd pictures are from the left of what used to be Barney Burgers (which I miss dearly by the way). Fair bit of land clearing and markers going on.

[CCG2I know quite a lot about Donkeys!]

Do you guys remember a little coaster called Millenium Force? Without it's second station, THAT would be a super-long break run as well. And besides, do you know how cool it is going to be as you hit the breaks, look to your left and be able to see a train drop down Dragon Fire's first hill whilst your almost at the same height as the first drop of DF? I don't know about you, but that is a big selling point to me with Leviathan: You can interact with another coaster even while your on the break run! So before you whine, look at the positives of this break run:

1) Nice view of Medieval Faire as you race back into the breaks
2) Interaction with DF's first hill (when it's timed correctly)
3) Being able to look over and see a train race down Leviathan's first drop!

Even if it's super awkward and is like the NBA player of Brake Run's at CW it will help finish a really cool ride experience on Leviathan.

Anyone know where the entrance will be? I think it'll be kind of weird with the station right next to the path, unless it's themed to some extent.

It would be pretty awesome if they could find the guy that did the sculptures for Wild Beast and Dragon Fire and get him to make one for Leviathan. That's just wishful thinking though.

^^The only difference is that Millennium Force has 18 rows and Leviathan will only have 8. As it is, Millennium's brake run seems somewhat short...you can only fit one train in the safety portion. The service brake can't even stop a loaded train on it's own.

Not sure of the entrance but definitely know the the station is on the side where the arcade is now. I am guessing that perhaps you will enter sort of under the turn to the lift and then queue up under the lift/brake area perhaps zigzagging back? The only other option would be to put the entrance on the opposite side between the bathroom and the first aid station, which I think would be the better of the two options. Kind of walk under the brake run and zigzag to the left back to the station area.

I was listening to a couple workers talk yesterday about it but couldn't make out too much. All I got was that there is some sort of new aspect to be able to allow them to know when to dispatch the next train.

I am guessing an overhaul to the area will be in play much like when Behemoth came in as this part of the park will see CRAZY congestion for a while. I predict lines back to the at least the fountains by the theater for Preview night and/or opening day.
