    Canada's Wonderland | Yukon Striker | B&M Dive Coaster

    I heard it from an upper park employee that wasn't quite at upper management, but definitely was far above your basic ride op's knowledge. I do have to say I was a bit surprised as he told me about Hangtime even before Boomerang's closure was announced (and was pretty accurate too), but what can...

    Canada's Wonderland | Yukon Striker | B&M Dive Coaster

    I have to say, it looks fantastic!! Super pumped about the vertical loop, and although I'm a little underwhelmed by the basic Cedar Fair ending, I'm still extremely happy with this addition, looks absolutely fantastic!! The color scheme is no where near as bad as I thought it could be, which was...

    Queue Behavior — Why do they stop?

    I personally love SFMM's strategy, they never assign you a row on any of the coasters, they simply let in 50-60 people, let them choose whatever row they want and then once there's only a train or two of people left, they let in some more. It's actually quite brilliant, and with extended queues...

    Apologies, won't happen again. On another note, is anyone planning on attending the passholder event?? I might be wrong on this but I heard they were having a construction site tour or some sort of event tomorrow

    Canada's Wonderland | Yukon Striker | B&M Dive Coaster

    Makes me wonder why if they have the blueprints like they CONSTANTLY claim (and charge people to see) why they're having to predict the layout?? And ontop of that why said layout isn't an out and back like they claim to have seen on the blueprints?? As lets face it, they only reason they haven't...

    I'm going to reserve my judgment until it's fully installed with everything finished, but as of now, I'm not a fan

    Canada's Wonderland | Yukon Striker | B&M Dive Coaster

    The big difference between AI and myself is I've never charged anyone to listen to my sources. When i leaked Hangtime and Twisted Cyclone, it was completely free of charge. Do you know why?? Because its physically impossible to verify a source, as things constantly get switched last minute (as...

    Hey y'all!! I put together a little compilation of all the crap that Amusement Insiders has spread, hope y'all enjoy!! (handcrafted with evidence by yours truly!!) -- The second i asked the question "why are you having to predict the layout if you have the blueprints" all 5 of their mods...

    Six Flags America | Firebird | B&M Floorless Conversion (of Apocalypse)

    While this sounds like a totally awesome idea, there's virtually zero marketability in it, so I highly doubt Six Flags would do that (unless they rethemed it too, which would be unlikely since they spent so much theming it just a couple years ago). I personally predict some sort of Aftermath...

    Relocated Vekoma SLC coming to America!!

    Hey y'all!! I heard a very interesting piece of information from someone I've spoken with that's a higher up at Ratanga Junction that I thought I should share. He said that Cobra, their Vekoma SLC with an extended helix at the end, was sold to an american park and is tentatively scheduled to be...

    Canada's Wonderland | Yukon Striker | B&M Dive Coaster

    Amusement Insiders is claiming that the ride will now have 3 inversions because there was a planet installed on the ride site with 3 flowers, and will have 8 seater trains because there are 8 pinecones around said planter. Yes, I'm 100% serious (why they didn't already "leak" this since "the...

    Best Non-spite You've Had

    I planned a trip to Castle Park as I really wanted to ride the Log Flume, found out it had some wiring issues and probably wasn't gonna be open for my issue, got a DM from someone a couple days beforehand saying it was gonna be open on the day of my visit. I show up and the ride's closed, but...

    Canada's Wonderland | Yukon Striker | B&M Dive Coaster

    Per the people I spoke with, The Ledge (which is actually super clever when you consider that it's themed around a mountain dive coaster)

    Canada's Wonderland | Yukon Striker | B&M Dive Coaster

    I just finished a conversation with Amusement Insiders, it's pretty obvious that he has no clue what's happening, just throwing out random speculation. I asked him to literally tell me whether the ride would have 8 seats or 10 per row, and he couldn't answer, just said "well check out live...

    Maybe it's be but I'm having trouble trying to figure out a Canadian theme under those colors (Aqua Grizzly?? Maple Syrup Falls??)
