Photo TR: Last regular operating day at Canada's Wonderland

Postby asimowalk » Sun Oct 30, 2011 4:21 pm

I wish I had a better camera on my phone but this'll have to do for now...

Ride Count
Behemoth - 16
Sledge Hammer - 2
Minebuster - 1
Windseeker - 1
Dragon Fire - 1

There were a few people re-riding Behemoth along with me... "It's kind of like looking for last minute seats on a flight." I was able to get 11 rides without leaving the station, but the line up grew enough that I wouldn't be able to keep doing that. I was still able to slip in a couple more consecutively though since I was a single rider.

Gotta give my kudos to the park and to all of the employees that were still around. They were all doing great, even at the very end of the season.

After weeks of putting off a trip to the park, I finally got myself there at the very end of the season.

The last time I went to Haunt was when it was still Fearfest back in 2005, but I've seen the decorations in the fall over the years and it looks like it's improved significantly.

Behemoth didn't open with the park today. I'm guessing it was because of the cold temps. (Just below freezing.)

I took a ride on Sledge Hammer in hopes that it would open by the time I got off. Not the case.

Took a ride on Minebuster (and blinded my camera while I was there).

10 points to whoever knows where these lions were used before!

This little scare zone by the mountain washrooms was kind of weird. They looked less like tombstones and more like random walls everywhere. I didn't recognize any of the names either.

If they used different names, I'm sure they could have come up with some more clever graffiti. (Unless I'm just too young too understand any of them.)

These skeletons at Riptide are definitely nicer than just making the fountain lights red.

This was the first time I've seen the new buffers on Windseeker. The seats still sway a bit, but it seems more sturdy.

It's really cool walking alongside this giant column. In the background is the bottom of the first drop.

Im pretty sure those statues were used from the old swings ride?? Just taking a guess. Or it was some ride located where obitor is right now? I'm really liking the look of Leviathan! Thanks for the report.

The lions are from the former entrance to Great Whale of China (relocated to Carowinds - now known as Peanut's Pirates) located where Time Warp's entrance is currently placed. They were used in the same spot last year during Haunt.

^ 10 points! :p I didn't think about it, but I realized I didn't have any fall trips last season... I didn't know there was a scare zone there last year.

Something about the color of Leviathan's track makes it look photoshopped in. Thanks for all the pictures.
