    Canada's Wonderland | Wonder Mountain's Guardian | Dark Ride

    Re: Canada's Wonderland | Wonder Mountain's Guardian | Dark If the park doesn't release a picture before the weekend (and probably anyway if it does), I'm planning to drive by the park and take some pictures myself - hopefully i'll be able to see the "drop" and post it for you guys :P

    Canada's Wonderland | Wonder Mountain's Guardian | Dark Ride

    Re: Canada's Wonderland | Wonder Mountain's Guardian | Dark The outdoor section is most likely only going to be the lift hill - the rest will be indoor. They have a lift hill because it's some sort of darkride/coaster hybrid. I'm honestly not sure why they don't just put the lift hill inside -...

    Rides at your home park that you've never been on

    I've never actually been on the Drop Tower at Wonderland - always some excuse to not go on it. It's not the height - i've been on plenty of high coasters along with Tower of Terror at Disney and Dr. Doom at IOA. I guess it's just a ride i've never really wanted to go on :P I think i've been on...

    Canada's Wonderland | Wonder Mountain's Guardian | Dark Ride

    Re: Canada's Wonderland | Wonder Mountain's Guardian | Dark Mini Sort of an Update (not really) - March 19th from the facebook page: some scenery for the ride/queue arrival of something (possibly/probably the trains)

    Favourite kind of dark ride

    I didn't like the Harry Potter ride too much but it might have been a bad experience - I was on the end seat so in some cases the screen wasn't quite wide enough and it make me nauseous. Kind of like when you're sitting in a car and trying to read a book feeling (If anybody else has had that?)...

    Do you care about your dark ride shooter score?

    Honestly, like everybody else, I don't remember it after i'm off the ride. It's fun to beat my brother though :P

    Which Coaster "Kickstarted" Your Interest?

    Hm well for me it was probably a combination of a few things. When I was younger I got the RCT games in a cereal box and I loved playing/designing coasters. I also went to my home park, Canada's Wonderland often as a kid because we had season's passes (I also had many trips to Florida where I...

    Canada's Wonderland | Wonder Mountain's Guardian | Dark Ride

    Re: Canada's Wonderland | Wonder Mountain's Guardian | Dark It's supposed to be an "interactive 4-D dark ride" with some coaster elements built in (though I'm not sure how that's supposed to work...). The park hasn't released very much useful information about it to be honest.

    Canada's Wonderland | Wonder Mountain's Guardian | Dark Ride

    Re: Canada's Wonderland | Wonder Mountain's Guardian | Dark Update March 5th: Some new photos from the facebook page teaser of what looks to be the side of the ride vehicle this along with the next few pictures look like support columns for when the ride goes out of the mountain...

    Zamperla Volare Restraints?

    I haven't been on Time Warp (the Zamperla Volare at Wonderland, my home park) in a while, but I can try to explain from what I remember. In my opinion, the only time it feels like you're going to fall out is during the loops, because there's a lot of space between the back cage and you...

    Worst queue?

    Soaring at Epcot was really long for what you got out of it (it really wasnt very good imo) Personally though, I have to agree and say that the Rip Ride Rockit video got on my nerves after about ten minutes of standing in line. I'm pretty sure I knew the name & tune of every single song they...

    Are Vekoma SLCs really that bad?

    Personally, I don't mind them too much, even though every single review i've read hates them. There is also a bit of ear banging depending on your height (if you're short it isn't too bad). Also the restraints never bothered me....possibly because of my height/body type?

    Jungle Cruise, Jaws, Etc. Awful?

    I remember really liking the old Rhino Rally at BGT (before the main section was taken out for cheetah chase), even though I was probably the target age at the time and didn't really get that some of the jokes were bad :P The new version is terrible in my opinion, but more informational as they...

    Sochi 2014

    I'm really happy with Canada so far. We did exceptionally well at Vancouver, with the home crowd, and I don't really expect a repeat performance. Really proud of finishing Gold & Silver in Men's and Women's Moguls. I can't wait for hockey :D

    Canada's Wonderland | Wonder Mountain's Guardian | Dark Ride

    I noticed that there wasn't a topic up about WMG (at least I didn't see any). The ride is planned to open May 2014. Some information can be found on the park's website: https://www.canadaswonderland.com/what-s-new/new-for-2014 Also, there have been a few construction photos released on the...

    Introducing Friends to this Hobby- Share Your Experiences!

    Re: Introducing Friends to this Hobby- Share Your Experience I've tried getting a few friends on coasters before (I remember a school trip to CW the year behemoth opened) and most of the time it works out. The trick for me was getting them in line while it's short. The more time they spend...

    Wow, I hope that system isn't coming up farther north. We have a ton of snow sitting around, but really no new snowfall during the past few days
