Canada's Wonderland Discussion Thread

[Dom497Donkeys give me orgiastic scream!]

I live right beside Wonderland and the tent for the former bedrock show is still standing... don't know what you guys are talking about...

[rollin_n_coastinDon't put that donkey on the floor!]

No official announcement has come out yet. But that's what's happening and where it's going.

That would be a cool use of space no longer in use. Personally, it wouldn't really attract me at all but I can see it being a huge hit among families with younger kids. Maybe like the ROM gallery on steroids?

The game is so cool and a must play!!!!!!!! Yes some of you may think its a bit childish

Actually gave this a go, kinda neat, features a lot of CW, Knott's, and CGA rides, which is pretty sweet!

Regarding Dinosaur's Alive, this is the one park I think this could actually really work at, considering the average (read: insane) attendance CW manages, and it'd be in the perfect spot near the back of the park in the kid's area.

Again, I agree with other posters, its great for a lot of people, but really not my thing.

I had seen markers and stuff back by Boo Blasters over the last little while, could it stretch that far back or is that just regular maintenance?

Does anyone know how the dinosaur movie is doing at KI? I was thinking if the movie was successful, maybe they could make a sort of DA midway in place of the queue to Action Theatre. They've already got the vendor facilities for Launch Pad, a small addition to that building could make it double for both attractions which would make it easier for staff to handle.

I'm a bit confused though, will DA sneak it's way into CW for next season or later on? I know Dorney has an unannounced DA going into their park.

You may want to take a second look. The blue covered tent at the corner of Major Mac & 400, the former Bedrock Aquarium, was removed the week after Labour Day. All the seats have been removed and as of a week ago, all the concrete had been broken up but was still on site. I'm sure it's all been cleared out over this past week.

There are stakes that stretch from behind Boo Blasters back towards the turnaround on Ghoster Coaster.

With the high attendance and the fact that people spend TONNES of money at Wonderland (I've never been to an amusement park where there are lines at almost EVERY concession stand in the park during a weekday in the summer), I can see this attraction being another great source of revenue.

If you'd prefer, just ignore my posts and don't believe... But Skycoastin' Steve has proven in this thread that people can have info without "proof".

As an extra $2 on top of the $5 up-charge, it's really pretty piss poor. I can't see too many people spending the extra 5 to 7 bucks more than once for the whole attraction. It's pretty neat, but not worth the up-charge more than once, at least in my opinion. That said, the attraction must be doing pretty well if some of the other CF parks are adding it as well. The kids do love their dinosaurs.

I was about to post the very same thing.

I can confirm that one large crane is on the Leviathan construction site. The turnaround to the lift has been completed.

Here are a few pics from today to show some progress. They are moving along at a good pace so far. Also posting couple of pics from the area where Dinosaurs Alive is rumored to be going.

Land Clearing for Dinosaurs Alive




Although its not a huge selling feature for me, I will admit that if this is Dinosaurs Alive they are putting it in a great spot
