1pizza14 Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Hi all, just got back from my trip to Canada's Wonderland. It was very overcast in the morning which caused for low crowds until about 3pm. I got to the park at 11:00 and was hoping to get on to Windseeker today but my plan failed . It was very cloudy all day and poured rain for about 20 minutes. In this 20 minutes I rode Drop Tower and asked the op how much rain is required before they shut down the ride. He told me "It needs to be more than thunder in order for it to stop" :lmao . This made me laugh a lot because it was pouring buckets at the time. In other news Sledge Hammer is back open and Windseeker was testing all day long without water dummies. I was told Windseeker would open tomorrow and I didn't doubt it. They looked completely ready to go. They installed new hinges or whatever you want to call it on the cars to stop them from swinging forward and almost hitting each other. All ops were doing great today and had a great time despite a bit of rain. Here is my ride list Behemoth-X2 Backlot Stunt Coaster-X2 Drop Tower-X2 Vortex Thunder Run Shockwave The Fly On to the pictures! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bZYSLNvvF6k Good to know. The front entrance I love the sign at night What's this I see? A somewhat crooked shot of the mountain What a beautiful picture of a hat. Feel free to use as a desktop backround. I love this picture Oh, what's this?? Could it be?? Windseeker! A close up of the seats. Everything looks brand spanking new They had these pieces lying on the ground for most of the morning. I wasn't too sure what they were for. Sledgehammer is back and running Oh look! They added a finger on the ground near Behemoth! Stunt Coaster doing it's thing. Notice how they don't allow people to queue over the bridge any more. The row sorter stands right before the bridge and sends party's of 12 across. Wonder why they do this Vortex. It seemed a bit more rough this year If you look closely you can see the new paint job on Vortex. I really like it! Fun on the Fly Oh no it's a Vekoma shot. Lets take a ride on DROP ZO.. wait, no this caption has been used way too many times. Windseeker begun testing! They were running empty cycles all the way to the top the entire afternoon. Thanks for reading! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intimidator305 Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Nice trip report! No 2012 construction update? And that is extremely odd about the Backlot queue bridge... KD and KI do not do that. Support problems maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1pizza14 Posted May 23, 2011 Author Share Posted May 23, 2011 There was not too much to report on 2012 construction. There were many stakes all around the fenced off area and they are easily seen from Drop Tower. I'm pretty sure thats the only way to get a great view of the area.

asimowalk Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 People were probably dropping things through the fence on the Backlot bridge. That's the only reason I can see, otherwise it would just seem silly since Backlot doesn't have an overflow. Nice trip report. Glad to hear Sledge Hammer is back up. I find it pretty awesome that CW seems to be doing better compared to the other northern parks in terms of ride uptime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andypeters Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 This park looks cool. I watched the video, and it's all also cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
