Canada's Wonderland
Technically correct... But loopholes/exemptions do exist... How easy/hard to get, I am unsure... Maybe it's darn hard, maybe it's just a matter of filing the right paperwork and explaining "we wanna buy this and we can't get it here"... The law exists (on both sides of the border) to protect local jobs... If you live in Detroit, you can't hire a carpenter from Windsor to build your new deck just because he's cheaper and vice versa... It's why the border agent asks "Purpose of your visit"... If you say 'work' they're going to have a lot more questions and need to see some paperwork...

Personal meanderings about Canada's Wonderland post COVID
I think if they wanted to sell the land to condo developers for a cash influx, they would have done that with the land the hospital is being built on, nor would they be looking at building a hotel by Rutherford road.

Canada's Wonderland
Dipping Dots does have a Moose Tracks flavour, but I'm unsure if they sell that particular one at the Wonderland...

Canada's Wonderland
There's still some space behind Splash Works, some room in/over WWC, and an area between Wilde Beast and Planet Snoopy that wraps around with the area where Dinosaurs Alive used to be. Also, if you scrap the Go-Kart track, there's some empty space around there that can be packaged in with it. And it's not like they need a huge ton of room for the next addition. Likely looking something in the 3000 ft long range? With how they built Leviathan right over Dragon Fyre, and Yukon Striker literally right through Vortex and then out between Timberwolf Falls and the nearby path, I think they've shown their willing to get creative to get things in there.

Yes, they own the lake next to Behemoth... And I think the keeping of Flight Deck and Time Warp is that with a big addition in 2019, they wont be putting anything major in for a while, so might as well get some use of the two coasters they have sitting there... They ripped out Skyrider in 2014 for the plot to sit empty until Yukon Striker got built, why repeat that??? Also, dont forget that the majority of guests through the turnstiles don't know those rides are crap, as they haven't experienced better... I mean for like a 13 year period FlightDeck/Top Gun was their marquee coaster...

I've heard that as well... I know first hand that Canadian Temporary Foreign Worker laws are a pain in the butt... I'm can't validate how much truth the rumor holds, as I've just heard it 3rd hand, never anything official...

Cedar Point Fast Lane 2020
That's what I would have thought, but I wasn't sure. How many people are skipping lines on the 2nd tier stuff just to stand in line for the top tier ones???

Need Help Planning a Trip
A site I've found handy for planning coaster trips is http://www.coast2coaster.com/ It gives you a good idea of what parks are close/far and it's filterable by number of coasters, so you can see the map without every little fun centre with a kiddie coaster...

Superior Cedar Fair Clone?
FoF and the Impulses are both rides I always enjoy... They may get overshadowed by some other rides in the parks they're in, but they still give a good ride that leaves me smiling...

Orion and Fast pass
If Orion isn't on FLP I'll eat my hat... And it's a big hat... Which do you think will draw more sales, 'Skip the lines on all the good rides except for Orion' or 'Skip the line on all the rides INCLUDING THE ALL NEW ORION'???

Guests Say The Darnest Things
It might be funny how misinformed they are, but it's sad the way they're all in on that misinformation... Odds are you could have explained it and they'd think you were the one who was wrong... They'd rather not learn than appear wrong in front of their friends...

New guest conduct policy at Scarowinds after complaints
This... The line jumping is rampant at both CP and CW, and it's not going to stop as long as it works... You don't let them pass you in the queue, they just hop over/under the railing and keep going... I've heard every excuse for it in the book, and apparently I'm the asshole for not letting them by...

Skyline vs. Goldstar
Not having either anywhere close to where I live, I only discovered Skyline a few years ago, and now it's a must-do when I'm in the area... Should I give Gold Star a try instead???

Early Ride Time Halloweekends
Are they letting people park in the CP Shores lot now that it's done for the season??? Or is the best plan for hitting SV early to park at the front and take the boardwalk back???
