Welcome To Screamscape!

Park News - (9/1/10) Amusement Insider has posted a nice look at Canada’s Wonderland showing off Behemoth and almost every other ride in the park.
    (8/17/10) According to a reader those markings under Vortex have been there most of the season and may be an attempt to measure water levels in the lake throughout the year due to some flooding issues during storms. They also uncovered a fun little “easter egg” hidden on the park’s website… the old FearFest and Spooktacular website is still online and intact from 2006, the old Paramount days. I guess Cedar Fair’s web-techs never found it and removed it, so enjoy it now while it lasts and grab some logos or screen captures for yourself, because it probably wont be up too much longer.
    Unfortunately, though I had just posted information about the event, the Ride Warriors day at Canada’s Wonderland was apparently just canceled due to lack of interest. How sad they would cancel it so quickly, though to be fair it doesn’t sound they did a damn thing to promote it as the only way I was even informed about it at all was through some local enthusiast sites. You’ve got to promote an event if your going to have one folks…
    (9/30/09) A reader sent in a e-mail they received from Guest Services at Canada’s Wonderland that does confirm that Scooby Doo would be leaving the park’s Haunted Mansion dark ride. “As far as we know the rides themselves will be intact. However, the names will be changing to accommodate the Peanuts characters.”

2010 - Planet Snoopy / Snoopy On Ice - Confirmed - (5/3/10) Pictures from the Media Day at Canada’s Wonderland have been posted to Theme Park Review this week. They have some very nice pictures showing off the rethemed Planet Snoopy attractions.
    (1/27/10) Canada’s Wonderland has announced the names of a few new attractions for their Planet Snoopy area. The additions include the Peanuts 500 (Zamperla Speedway / aka: Kiddie Whip), Lucy’s Tugboat (Zamperla Rockin’ Tug) and Snoopy’s Revolution (Zamperla Ferris Wheel). Scooby Doo’s Haunted Mansion will now become the redundant sounding Boo Blasters on Boo Hill. You can see the rest of the ride names posted to the official site here.
    (8/23/09) Canada’s Wonderland has confirmed that they will add 3 new flat rides to the park for 2010 and retheme the Nickelodeon and Hanna-Barbera Land areas into a new Planet Snoopy land. The park will also add a Snoopy On Ice show as well.

2011 - Windseeker - (8/25/10) Like Knott’s Berry Farm, Canada’s Wonderland also announced Windseeker as their new 2011 attraction. The $5 million Wind Seeker ride from Mondial will feature 32 2-Seater gondolas at the ends of arms that will swing out to a 45º angle once they reach the top of the tower. Check out the official site for an animated video of the ride in action.
    (8/17/10) Canada’s Wonderland just posted an interesting little teaser on their Facebook page that is a blue graphic that simply says “How High? 8/24/10”.  Hmm… makes me wonder if there might be TWO StratoSoars for 2011. Anyone know more?
    (8/16/10) A reader reports that while they saw no signs of major construction going on at Canada’s Wonderland yet, they did notice survey markers under Vortex, the park’s Arrow Suspended coaster. Anyone else spot this or know what’s going on? I certainly hope North America is not going to lose yet another Arrow Suspended coaster.
    (8/4/10) According to the latest rumor, Canada’s Wonderland could be getting something very special in 2011. I know we’ve heard about survey markers appearing here and there all season, but if the rumors are true the park may be looking at getting a new GCI Wooden coaster. Can anyone else confirm this?
    (5/4/10) According to CWMania.com, guests have spotted possible survey markers and signs of construction at Canada’s Wonderland. Pictures showing off a group of yellow markers can be found here. There is also an assortment of red markers in the water under Vortex, the park’s Arrow Suspended coaster.
