North America 06/25 – Canada’s Wonderland
We had another whole day planned for the park either due to expectations of either great or terrible things, so headed back the following morning to see what we could make of it.
Day 9 – Canada’s Wonderland (again)
This began with a rope drop start to #1 Wonder Mountain’s Guardian as it wasn’t available the night before.
Had a bit of an expectation for this as it was half ‘dark ride’ and has a drop track. It was trash. The coaster does nothing, half the screens were broken and when they did show something it was very poor quality. The drop track was probably the weakest of any coaster I can recall. Great concept, terrible execution. Bring back Zola 7.
Mighty Canadian Spinebuster had the same sign up as the previous day (it reopened a few days after we left, all new and reworked), so that was park complete.
It’s amazing what disgusting weather and lack of care can do to a park as Wonder Mountain’s Guardian was the only thing we rode that day. Did a lap of the place to take all the photos I used for the night before and found that pretty much every ride had a worse queue than we had suffered previously, and that Behemoth was broken.
So, after like an hour, we left.
Overall it was pretty much what I expected from the park really, lack of Alpenfury aside, and it kinda makes sense that I subconsciously dragged my feet in getting there. Concrete and rides, Canada edition.
The average quality of coaster is pretty low and their standouts aren’t much to write home about either on a global scale. Above average B&M hyper? We’ve got much better parks in Europe for that.
Weather wasn’t the parks fault, but they could put more effort into handling it better. Operations were pretty poor across the board and it suffers from not having anything to do but coasters. Except flats, but the one of those we wanted was broken both days too.
Just another tick in the box, except it hasn’t been ticked because we immediately need to go back… 0/2 for Canada.
