I just want to say during that thing where we were going about the going on about the Hi You're gonna sit here and eat my bar. Hi everyone. Why am I moving it closer? No, this is working. My skinny legs, I have my legs! I'm squishing you!  Do we fit? I gotta start that diet soon. Yeah, yeah, okay, so like guys like let's just hang out. I'm honestly feeling so much better. I know that's I know that's because of something, but I'm feeling better. There's water, too Stay hydrated Back In a minute go to watch the end of the Leafs game.  I agree. Hi everyone. Hi, hi, hi, hi Canada's Wonderland needs a wing coaster soon. Oh Who is this guy? Give him a medal. This is Brickwall. If this is Brick, the Brick I know. Jake Brick? You're cool. I like him. He's cool. Yeah, a launch wing coaster at that. A launch wing coaster at that Launch wing. Everyone like the stream. Yes, everyone go back and like our live stream. Oh, it doesn't post I have to go post it. I Hate that. Wonderland can't maintain a GCI. Oh, I don't like cookies and cream. Nanamo bars are the best. Brandon doesn't like Nanamo bars. Monkey Brothers, Snoopy's Racing World, we're gonna be the same layout as the video that was shared last summer. Good question. Okay. This should have been something we talked about. I know someone asked it. I think that's what I wanted to talk about. I'm hearing rumblings No, there's gonna be a few differences. I don't believe these rumblings. They come from Mariusoops I'm hearing rumblings that there's gonna be a few a little bit of a difference in the layout On ours versus the ones we see. Like ours is gonna be bigger. We do have longer trains So our trains are longer than the ones that you see in there and from what I understand It's only gonna go around once not twice once That's a hundred percent capacity thing That's what asked me scared for Tundra Twister I think that's the I think Tundra Twister is probably gonna be the coolest and best flat ride in the country Actually, I like Skyhawk. That's a bias. That's a bias But in all reality, it's probably gonna be the the best flat ride in the country. Maybe even the world I Think the short ride cycles though. Oh, that's what's gonna get it I think it's only gonna do once one way and once the other way That's actually one of the reasons I like lumberjacks so much is because it goes three ways One side and then three ways the other side. Hold on. I'm responding to everyone snaps Are you putting me on the spot here? What's the quite on Tundra Twister on the cycle length? Oh, I think the cycle length is gonna be horrible Although lumberjack was pretty okay.  Yeah, I'm alive. What's what's happening to Leviathan sitting on the concrete rusting We're snacking yes, there's somebody judging us. Hmm. I'll send We don't need another family coaster. We need a we do need family coasters guys I Understand I understand the frustration because Wonderland's got a really crummy lineup as a package But at the end of the day I'm so sorry. This is so gross. We probably shouldn't be snacking No, it's a good thing. We finished at the end of the day when if you go into that kids park On a hot summer day It's packed like it's packed. They need they need investments in the kids area, but I understand The reasoning behind of what you just said But they do need investments in the kids area, you know what the most frustrating thing is though this new I First of all you guys probably know that like my opinions and stuff I always like say Kings Island carowinds this that I will always say that Wonderland has the best kids area I think in the world. Okay, maybe not the world not like Disneyland or anything But compared to other parks like of Wonderland size like the Six Flags parks But the bush parks and Cedar Fair parks I think we have the best kids area and now with the addition of this other kids attraction That's only gonna further cement that fact, but we're still not gonna win the golden ticket for it I like mr. Sandwich's question. Do you think lumberjack reaches max height faster than tundra? Will I think a percent? Yeah, tundra's gonna take forever. Yeah, like not forever, but it's gonna take forever. Yeah Like it's gonna be like do you remember the the giga Pendulums yeah, yeah, I don't think it's gonna be as bad as that the genetic discoveries But I think it's gonna be like in between that and cyclone Well, this ride is definitely it's gonna be almost 50 feet taller than cyclone When fully extended, I think it's gonna be so the ride cycle might actually be pretty long Then if just the motors like oh my god. Oh my god, sir. Yeah, I'm branding on me Oh Lord Jesus help me So if it's just swinging back and forth and then that brings me another fear that at the end of the day You're just gonna be on a swing like another cyclone. No, it's going upside down No, no, but majority of the ride if it's Now you just instilled a new fear me what if it only does one loop That's what I think it's and they're like you're gonna do once around and then it's gonna start breaking I think that's what it's gonna do. I'm throwing rocks at it Put the netting up Okay, we're missing a lot of questions here action theater plans. Will you know that we know Well, we were so Craig and I had a really cool opportunity where we got to go to a media day and Someone at this media day that I won't mention because they're in a really high position now Kind of told Craig and I a lot of the park's plans And at first like because Craig and I had a really rocky relationship during this time I assumed that these plans were kind of misleading but everything this person has said to us has happened It's part of the reason why I've been really accurately with my um guesses and that's how I knew about Lazy beer lodge Now That that means I know what's coming to action theater because this guy's been right now I know that what he told me was a hundred percent accurate. So action theater will be a flying theater If he's right plans could have changed. Maybe it'll be a different dark right now But actually could have changed things to like push things back Because we were told that action theater was actually going to be the first investment after ucon So action theater was supposed to be invested in because of winterfest coming Before right after ucon, but then cove it happened, right? Well the first investment after ucon wasn't at mountain bay cliffs technically Yeah, does that count? Yeah, that counts When did coven happening in? winter 2019 No, uh, march we went into lockdown march 2020. So they were still doing construction So we would have seen action theater start. Yeah, if it was meant to be a 2020 but um So I do know action theater is part of the plans There is a plan for action theater It was already bought if this guy knew it then that means it was already discussed and bought And our building is actually in relatively good shape compared to some of the other buildings. We talked about that jern haunt, right? Yeah Yeah, like the paneling up above a lot of places that give in my apartment has water damage My store has water damage in the this type of ceiling wonderland ceiling is like mint condition Yeah, and I I bet you like all the ac and everything still works the utilities probably still work Yeah, like it's a functional building.  I didn't ever see that Can you send me the video if you did? I feel like that'd be really funny to react to Whitewater canyon needs a serious overhaul Sometimes you barely get wet and more waterfalls more water experiences and different levels based on the hot weather Okay, different levels You lost me at levels, but I 95% of your post is amazing because it's gonna happen with the oh Even someone today someone this year told us that they are doing like extensive maintenance. Yes on it Or they were like the waterfall and even the the geysers. Yeah want to bring those back So wonderland is in the from what we know again So the one thing with me Amusement insiders and we have sources, but we have learned over the time that you can't always take everything you hear seriously I've gone pretty good at knowing when to take things seriously, but I'm still going to get things wrong Um Because again, there it's broken telephone no matter how good you get at it. There's always going to be broken telephone Um, but we've been told that whitewater canyon will be receiving some maintenance upgrades Nothing serious that we've heard of yet nothing like structural, but yeah Yeah, they even said they were like cleaning up like the waterfall and stuff which did turn back on this season Yeah So I remember the first day that turned on it was all like muddy the water was all brown So they had to go back in there and clean up all the mud and leaves Uh, didn't wonderland also slowed down when secret cycle I will say it is a shorter cycle length like you spend less time at the top of the tower Compared to the one at kings island and though some of the other cedar fire parks I will always upload a park walkthrough. I have a camera designated for park walkthroughs actually just above my microwave You're down. Yeah, it's a little red. Oh, yeah. Um, so yeah, I'll always do that Matterhorn polar express with loud music scramble all those indoor scramblers be cool, but I don't really see that for wonderland We have a lot of the rides that can do that already I'm see thunder run Wonderland has they did the welding for it already water insurance Would this lead to an even worse haunt maze experience though? If so, I can't see wonderland going below five mazes, but I also I can't I think they're gonna have to go back into kingswood or there's a building off to kingswood Like a big white building that they built I think for like school events or something that could probably house a haunt maze There's the courtyard that could house a haunt maze as we all know Yeah, which they should actually because then you'd already got the tents and stuff set up for winter fast Eric Eric with a really good question any update on the markers found around whitewater canyon a few years back? Well Actually interesting enough. I think in our last podcast we kind of discussed it a little bit So there are even newer markers that popped up Halfway through this last season we just went through and we now know that those markers do mean something is coming Anything distance wise there's a reason they're calculating distance from buildings And they're calculating distance. So white uh flying canoes so flying canoes is of interest I honestly think this could be the 2025 coaster because It could be flat rides like we could be seeing the zampurla flat ride collection coming with a action theater upgrade But they wouldn't be calculating distance for flying canoes with an action theater If it is for a coaster, I don't think it's going to be a bnm. I can't see them putting a bnm back there I think back there was a strong chance for a gci and mock double launch I can't I I don't know what it is. I just can't see a bnm going there now I I'm going to regret saying this because And I mean no shade to my competition. I like honestly like I used to be really jealous and super like Scared of anyone covering what I'm covering And that I think that's every new youtuber and every youtuber you get really scared I'm really confident that my information has been really correct lately And I'm really confident in my ability to make content now that I will always have you guys as viewers But I do get nervous talking about these things Early because now I know all the other youtubers are going to be like well action theater and whitewater canyon is an area to watch Um, so I I do get weary of talking about things too soon. And that's why but there are markers in the whitewater canyon flying canoes And they're even it looks like they're going to upgrade that entire midway because there's markers on the buildings the restaurant The new shop they built. So this is a so whatever they're doing is either a really big enhancement There's even markers going into um kids bill. Yeah, I fly meagles. So just say that or just say flying canoes I said flying canoes, but there are markers. There's markers in a very large area Um, and there's a reason we talk about 2025 I just get nervous talking about these things too early because then I know all the other youtubers When 2023 starts they're all gonna head there and everyone's covering it. And this is kind of like I hope this doesn't sound cocky, but it's like I I'm protective of my information Because I've seen my information end up in other youtubers videos And then I'm like that kind of sucks because like a lot of people think I'm lazy Like you've seen lately like people think I'm like a lazy content creator But I'm not like I put a lot of work into like talking to my sources Um people don't even know like I'm building the podcast building the podcast But like I have like really good connections now like I have friends that like I shouldn't have friends with like people that work for manufacturers of rides and stuff and water parks um, so like like honestly like I'm like I need to be more proud of what I do because Like I have worked really hard like I when I started this channel I used to guess everything Like I'd like gig a dive like with no factual I mean like the crane operator was telling us but still back then like I took like someone messaged me from wonderland And like well, this is coming in two years.  Like I've done a lot of improvement Surf coaster. Jerry's got a good question. Surf coaster question mark. We're missing a lot of questions. Okay. Well, we'll talk shorter Talk shorter less ranting and we'll answer more questions because this is a question answer period surf coaster question mark I'm nervous about that So, you know what here's the thing I wouldn't if it's a launch and if it's a good launch. I think I wouldn't mind it Maybe not the stand-up aspect, but I'm sure I don't think the stand-up is going to do that well And hopefully in their next iteration being I'm just makes it a sit-down. I think that could be really cool though I I'm nervous um so I get nervous about talking about people that work at wonderland because that thing but like there is someone Really high up that works at wonderland that's heading over to carowinds And whitewater canyon area is of importance development-wise For both parks mind you because carowinds whitewater canyon closed and we do share coaster years And we have a very similar line. So again these markers these distance markers pay attention to them carowinds could do with a gci too just saying And they would be cheap. They'd be cheap. They'd be good COVID after COVID investments and then carowinds has so much room under fury They could do like whatever they wanted and just like us we have so much room by whitewater canyon I also do think we have a lot of room under leviathan for something I I think she's going to carowinds for a mock double launch in whitewater canyons area Like a copperhead. Like I'm hoping extreme spinner, but you know, I would take a copy I could see cedar fair going down the copperhead route because looking at wonderland's audience It could be like maybe an extreme spinner, you know, people throw up on ucon So an extreme spinner might be a little too intense for a park like wonderland. That's my fear I actually like copperhead. Like I I it's not great, but for what it is. I think it's really good I need to put a glass coke bottle. That's actually genius. Okay. I'm gonna screw up We're missing y'all remember when spa job ride and I want it. Yes. I remember those rides the action theater rides There's hot me Any update on the right a few years back we did that So, yeah ride cycles at wonderland are definitely shorter because of high attendance. That's that's 100 nail in the dot right there What is the oldest wonderland item you own that I own? Um I have a piece I have a piece of mind buster track. I don't know how old that is. That's cool. Yeah, it's about that long It's a running reel. I'll bring that next one. I'm gonna start hanging in with you more. How do you get all these parts? I remember like when they built ucon. I kind of reached out to the park I reached out to the park and I was like Is there any way I could get a ucon part? Like I don't know why like I'm embarrassed because I I guess I felt entitled To a ucon part after me covering it for so long. Now. I'm so embarrassed that I reached out and even asked Um, but yeah, the answer was no Um, but yeah, I I loved owning a fun part. I have um Uconn and caps for the track when they ship them. They put steel plates. That's what they were giving to everyone That's what I asked for I have two of them. I remember they were giving them out and then I messaged I want to see like sometimes I get really upset by my relationship with wonderland Like I am this happened though because I was just walking down the path and I started talking to the guy and he's like Hey, do you want something cool? What's the worst thing you've saw a guest at wonderland do It's always like when they interact with employees. I've seen people spit in employees faces I think that's disgusting Anything with that like when they spit or get physical with employees and it's always over something stupid like line jumping Like people get so riled up Um, so the thing with me Okay, so I've I've been learning a lot about myself lately. I don't think I've even told you but I've been using an app called better help You've told me okay Um, I've learned that I have a lot of past trauma Some of my friends know like I have really bad trauma um And I've learned that lately I've been getting really aggressive Um, and it's because of that So when I'm at wonderland and I see a guest disrespecting a wonderland worker, it'll be the smallest little thing I immediately Like I jump in like I like do you remember last season There was we were at splash works building and this woman like they were short staff There were three people working Two people in the kitchen two people working and that was the fish and chips place and wonderland was Wonderland slowly upgrading their food. So they were making fish and chips fresh Like battering them in front of you and it became one of our favorite restaurants and the workers there so nice So nice.   No phones on the ride So I stood up for the worker I took the attention off the worker and this woman walked on the stairs calling me like gays slurs and all that Because Jordan from Leviathan is amazing. Yes. Yes. Jordan from Leviathan is amazing. Um, literally like uh, um, okay Will wonderland build a parking garage. So I used to think so if you watch my old videos I used to think so I've learned the cost of a parking garage 200 million for a small one. It's not happening There's no need to to I've actually noticed a trend. So four years ago wonderland's parking lot used to reach max capacity You've seen it, right? Tenants numbers are up. Okay. So picture attendance numbers are up From four or five years ago the parking lot never reaches max capacity So I think what's going on is because they even built a new bus terminal is a lot more people Are using public transit and I think actually there's like huge trend just even in the motor vehicle industry that the newer generation was buying less and less cars So I think that's what it probably is What's a wonderland secret most people don't know of? They're taking advantage of me because i'm having drinks Okay, what's an innocent secret that no one really knows about? Can we have time to think yeah? There's an innocent one I just need to I know there's there's so many secrets. I know there's some innocent There's some not so innocent. There's some like that are extreme that would like We'll never show the extreme ones or even the not so innocent ones, but there are innocent ones And there's something okay. There's something wonderland doesn't brag about that they should brag about Um wonderland has the cleanest safety record in the industry. Yeah, literally in the industry out of every park across north america He's ever died on a ride wonderland wonderland has these say that and they don't brag about that No one's even have like any severe injury like a life-altering injury either Um, okay. There's an innocent secret because it happened under paramount I'll share it because it happened under paramount the jimmy neutron ride Whirly birds now it derailed and guests were hurt and airlifted to the hospital I mean I can share that one, but I think a lot of people know about that one Um So the b&m invert. Oh, there's one. Uh, minebuster was supposed to be located where flight deck and so if The original park owners had their way Minebuster would have been where flight deck and time warp are and it would have looped around where kingswood is a bit And it had a slightly longer way out That's pretty cool Um, we also oh, maybe you guys don't know about this one flight of fear Oh, yeah, so paramount when they owned the parks was going to start a ride exchange program Yeah, no, no, but like they were going to do a ride exchange program We're instead of investing in new rides. This is a cheap paramount was by the way So be very thankful cedar fair owns us instead of investing in new rides. They would swap rides Amongst parks So there was actually a year where we almost got flight of fear where back lot stunt coaster is Could you imagine a flight of fear? I know that would have been cool. That would have been cool I have that never ended up happening. We need to be 20 pounds later Um wonderland is haunted wonderland is haunted the mountain or the phone the the ghost phone a security post-2 phone Thunder run you have to say what is good morning. Herman. Good morning. Herman or otherwise the ride breaks down Um, I don't know. I couldn't remember jack replaced jet scream instead of win seeker. I love win seeker I yeah, I like jet scream had a lot of problems like it always got stuck upside down I don't know if anyone's ever wrote it, but it would choke the life out of you Those restraints were were awful. Yeah, those are probably the worst restraints in the industry The thigh one is sky rush moment Especially when you were upside down all your pressure would be on your thighs and only your thighs and you leave with like red lines Okay, so I guess a lot of people don't know about thunder run again. I think we can share this because it's an urban legend I do want to stress that there is no confirmation that someone has died on thunder run I'm actually leaning towards someone not dying on thunder run If someone did there would have to be a new article or something So there's an urban legend I'm gonna use keywords urban legend because the more I've been talking with wonderland workers like higher ups higher ups The more I'm realizing that this didn't happen. So there's a story Of when wonderland got moot. It was when it was moved into the mountain, right? Yeah, so a maintenance worker was working on the ride, you know head through the track piece like the rails are here and He didn't turn the ride off Lo and behold the ride turned on because the team came in to like cycle the ride maintenance worker And I'll touch on something in a second that you can probably touch on even more because you know more about this stuff So the ride came and decapitated the maintenance worker and his name was herman and he died Um herman now has become a part of the ride. He's the dragon in the middle when you're in the mountain And now the urban legend is uh, the ride will break down the ghost will haunt the ride and cause problems If you don't say good morning and good night to herman That's the urban legend. Do I believe it? I'm on the fence. I'm leaning more towards no now Um, yeah, I don't think it's because there would be an article or there'd be something that you could find Like that's pretty substantial news. Yeah um, but that being said um That's why a lot of rides now when they turn them on there's a siren that plays so, um For to protect people from that exact moment when a ride turns on and is able to move It'll blast a siren and each ride has a distinct sound which maintenance knows Which is really cool if you don't know that so if you ever hear like behemoth is the scariest it plays like this weird like Aliens like war of the world's noise. I love it Also hot take time warp is overrated. Yes, it is. It is very overrated beyond overrated You know for time warp to be overrated that means people actually have to like it, doesn't it? I don't think anybody like the one times underground got fire If you're about to say good morning. I will say that that incident apparently is a lot more normal than people there was a mistakes that led up to it But it's not as severe for the ride as people thought I mean, it's still an arc but under the circumstances like wonderland was following all proper safety procedures So the no one would have gotten hurt because of those safety procedures that wonderland follows Overrated. Oh, okay. We read it wrong. Oh our our master's studio said over hated Disagree, I do think at a fair ground that ride makes sense But you're talking about canada's wonderland the most attended seasonal theme park in north america having that kind of ride And this goes back to paramount treating us like garbage Don't know my god Nothing to see here. Nothing to see here. Keep reading the comments. I got a little wash. I gotta break the steel I bet you do Which way do I go does behemoth need a repaint? Yes, it does Very badly. I hope it gets repainted soon. It will It's in the budget steel and wood rides. Hello from ohio. That's pretty cool. Oh, that's really cool By yourself wonderland should spend the money on a new ride a new entrance Where flight deck get new trains and a re-track So I want to talk about the new trains because I've ridden t3 at kentucky kingdom with the new trains And I personally don't think the new trains actually help that much A lot of the problem with flight deck is the actual track design now If you know vokoma stole that design from aro That track design it's the exact same as dragon fires. It's just inverted that track was never designed for those type of Tight elements or inversions. So the problem is more with the track like flexing and bending in ways It was never designed to it doesn't make it less safe. Okay, brendan's doing the greatest game here He's not to move everything for him to move So yeah, that track that design doesn't make it less safe. It just means It's not really adequate for what vokoma wanted the ride to do at the time Oh, brendan, do you think should have moved flight deck? Uh, Aldo, he will be back soon Caleb, I can tell you it it's it's quite high Any update on wonderland's current and future attendance? So, um, eric what we can say is when we were at the park this year Someone higher up did elude us that Over 500,000 gold passes were sold for 2023 and this was back in the middle of winter fest 2022 so I'm just gonna say right now 2023 is looking to be wonderland's busiest season Well, you can't really say yet, right until the park opens, but everything points to 2023 being extremely extremely extremely busy Vokoma signed a call. So, um, if you there's a really great documentary, it's called legacy of aero It's a ace documentary and you can see there and they didn't actually they signed a contract to produce To manufacture aero's track in europe However, once they started producing it manufacturing it they stole the design of the track to build their own layouts Scarborough life somebody asked a p. Yes, he does syria Why did orbiter get removed because I wanted to ride it orbiter had a lot of mechanical Issues because it was getting quite old and it was hard to get parts for that. So the park decided to get rid of it Would you be upset if wonderland got another b&m? I personally would not be upset if wonderland got another b&m if we got a standard wing coaster I would be upset But oh my god But I would love a launch wing or an invert Or a b&m flying coaster if you've ever been on a b&m flyer those pretzel loops are out of this world Hi Yeah, yeah, oh my god his eyes What are they? Oh my goodness. Oh my goodness. Oh my goodness. Oh my goodness Bethany, oh Okay, uh, syria. What's the biggest secret about can does wonderland? Us we're the biggest literally Ride ops look at us walking up to the ride. They're like Get the waist measure Like all the trains are gonna need extra maintenance tonight I feel like the smaller parks in cedar fair chain should get investments Invested in soon. I I want to say yes at the end of the day though the parks that should get the most investment or the parks that draw in the most As crappy as that sounds because I think places like donnie park and michigan's adventure do deserve love Do they deserve 30 million dollar attractions? Maybe not as often as like us king's island or cedar point What if behemoth got removed? I think behemoth is actually one of the most popular rides at wonderland What's your favorite ride can ask from rmc b&m gci in entertainment?    We get bullied.  Um the thing is how do you choose to react to it? You know like Brendon taught me that having a good sense of humor about it is an amazing coping mechanism It might not necessarily make you feel better at the moment, but if you can learn to laugh at yourself about it Like Brendon taught me laugh at yourself before anyone else gets the opportunity to and it works That honestly works. So yeah, you're still I'm still fat But if I make the joke first no one else can and then I won't feel bad about it Try it try it But also at the end of the day if you're feeling really low and if you're in school and this is happening The biggest piece of advice I wish I could give myself back in high school Is talk to someone like anyone anyone because the amount of pressure That is building up in you if you are holding all of that in as a person yourself I'm being bullied or being made fun of it builds up and it's creating trauma that you're not even aware of like Speak to someone Anyone like it literally like its weights are building up on you and getting those weights off of you only happens by talking Anyone like literally better help Is such a fantastic app if you have any access to funds or whatever like honestly try it is So good to vent It is so good to vent like you need to vent talk to anyone even if you like So i'm from an irish family and we're very distant So when I was in high school It was a competition amongst my siblings who was the most popular Who had the least amount of problems so talking was not an option It was an embarrassment to talk and open up And I wish I had reached out to someone at school even like anyone anyone even online anyone better help I wish there were things back then that I could have done because it It messes you up like it like holding on to things is the worst thing you can do because you are gonna You're gonna crumble and each person crumbles differently and there are dangerous people that can crumble and that's scary There are not so dangerous people that crumble. There's people like me when I crumble I just shut everyone out like I'll literally not talk to my friend group for like a week if i'm crumbling Um, I just I cry. Yeah, you cry, but that's healthy. Like at least you're not a dangerous crumble You know what I mean like you're a healthy crumble Yeah, no that and that's the bigger like my mom always instilled to if you're gonna break down The last thing that anyone should do is always resort to violence Which unfortunately a lot of people do like, you know, you'll hear stories of people punching holes in the wall and stuff And that's Like I understand, you know, everyone needs to break down and have an outlet But that is not an appropriate outlet and if you're getting to that point that is where seeking help will better your life Yeah, and honestly like if you're really low right now like a lot of people Crying is a release like a lot of people don't view it that way.  Just cry. I think I gave this advice to you too Just like that was my best form of release And I think that's why I'm not so messed up because a lot of really bad things happen to me Is just I cried a lot and I think that was really good like just cry um more questions I feel like that was really deep. I don't want to make it too too deep. I love crumble cookies Then you'll love us What is your favorite b&m brendan and syria? What's your favorite b&m? I don't know. There's a lot of good ones like there literally is and there I find b&m to be very similar Fury by far fury nothing comes close to that an invert more forces more Montu is good But fury is just fury Can you guys rank the gigas you've been on? You're the best one for this uh millennium force number five Leviathan number four Orion number three fury number two intimidator 305 number one Oh I think we have a troll the the person that was talking about bullying.  You know what everyone else in the audience can still take Yeah, hopefully if any of that helps anyone else, please Is the next gen vakoma in wonderland's future? I wish I honestly wish There's a chance. Yeah, like I think lazy bear mountain or whatever the one at dollywood actually looks pretty cool Like the profile lens. I know it's more of a family ride It's not going to have those breakneck speeds or whatever But the profiling looks really cool. The track looks really cool. Like the design looks really modern and refreshed So I'm excited for a new vakoma And a busiest energilandia that looks sick How do you feel about dollywood's wind coaster? I actually think it's a top tier one. Yeah, I It's probably my second favorite wing It's better than gatekeeper Still think vampir is the best coaster in canada. I could see that I could see what the force is I can I can 100 respect on it. Yeah Talon is a great invert. I wouldn't know but have you been on it? I have um, it's a little mild It kind of meanders around a bit, but it's like a tame version of afterburn Oh, okay, you think afterburn dust is brady's brother Cool. Um, but what should what would be the next huge coaster at canada's wonderland? Well So we don't know so I'll explain how amusement insiders operates because it really is kind of like an operation now So I'll know next year for sure. I'll know what the coaster is next year for sure. Give it July, I'll say July. I'll know what the coaster is next year and I'll explain why If wonderland's watching right now, I'm about to get in so much trouble So basically what's going to happen is to explain the entire operation Is wonderland when they are going to build a new ride is they pre-train maintenance Or they'll pre-talk about this new coaster and what they need to do So then when that happens more people are aware of what's coming and what's happening And then obviously I'm sure el toro ryan and costa studios. It's the same thing I'm not on their level. They are way better than me But at wonderland I am on their level my channel is The the main channel for covering wonderland So because of that there are people that will reach out to me and be like, hey, just so you know This is what's happening and I normally I ask for photo proof now Which helps me a lot. He can vouch for this in our group chat. I'll share the photo proof Actually the stoopies racing railway stuff has been really cool But nonetheless Around july a year Before opening is when the team at wonderland usually knows about investments And future things so I'll know Probably july next year Wonderland is getting better. We've noticed that wonderland is getting better at knowing information's leaking This flat ride. Yeah, they were very That was a kind of a super shock. Yeah, so if you guys knew I knew the location I got the location right But I thought it was going to be zampurla Because people I was talking to we were going to get what carolins is getting which is very logical Sense of thinking but it ended up being super outside the box and that is definitely a peter thing Yeah, peter was definitely like he was like we need something unique So kudos to him there and kudos to wonderland for keeping that under wraps for so long But I was definitely tipped off of location But uh, we were told it was going to be two to three flat rides if you remember So there was definitely miscommunication there. I would take this though over what? Yes, 100 100 we're getting the better deal. Um, I knew there was a coaster coming But we were told the location it was going to be planet snoopy. It was going to be a coaster If you remember my video I said it was going to be like I thought it was going to be smaller Actually, if you remember I thought it was going to be like a dinky little coaster and ended up being cooler So super excited about that so again You have to take things and that's why my videos I say grain of salt because I'll be fed information and the information could have some Accuracy to it, but there's going to be broken telephone along the lines Or wonderland's getting smarter because they know and not to sound cocky But amusement insiders is definitely like a pretty big presence in covering them now And they know that people are talking to me. So they're going to definitely close lines up Close lines of communication up to prevent that so that's that's definitely what's happening. I've noticed it But over the next five years pretty confident that we know What's coming like? It's pretty uh, what's your opinion on winterfest you start You know what for so The thing is you have to view it like this that prior to 2019 wonderland would just be closed So it's open. We're getting bonus time at the park to me.  Oh, yes. Yes. Yes Um, I think winterfest needs a few more things The shows are really good The thing is though the shows have all been very similar since winterfest started So I think a nice refresh there would be good now I am glad we kept tinkers versus what king's island and the other cedar fair park scott for like their second iteration of it It was terrible. Um I do think though we need a couple of more activities which hopefully we get Maybe one or two more rides open Am I in a perfect world if I could make winter like I would say maybe you can like get mine buster open What's not your fifth or sixth pot of coke? Seven fifth fifth Um, I really like this question. I really want to touch on if you owned Canada's wonderland. What would you do with the park? My opinions by the way on winterfest are very similar to him It's the best event in north in sorry in ontario. Oh 100 but there are there's areas of improvement for sure But um, if you owned the park, what would you do? What would I do or what would I could do it like no like you like this is your opinion Don't think business smart. Thank you. Like that's what they're asking you. What would you do? I first of all, I would keep the water park because I you know people like that, but I would I would I wouldn't add anything else in the kids park. Um, I would completely bulldoze king's wood. We would get rid of that. Um Still keep the show in the theater, but you know, we don't need too many shows either We need something big and intense.  That's what I would ask.  I want i-305 but built by you guys What would you do to the park? What would I do? Yeah, I think this is a circus. I think this is where enthusiasts hate my channel You know how a lot of people make fun of me for being like gp If I really if I owned wonderland, do you want to know what I would do if I could do anything? Log ride in the mountain Like a proper log ride in the mountain like Knott's Berry Farm Um, I would heavily invest in family attractions and entertainment Um, so what I would do the first thing I would do is have walk-around characters all year round So medfare would be medfare with themed music frontier Canada would be frontier Canada with themed music and walk around characters themed to those areas I would make a king and a queen walk around character of wonderland right away I want wonder I would want wonderland to be like a place like not like this Amusement park that they're stuck in right now. It's like wonderland is an amusement park trying to be a theme park But only like a couple people at wonderland are trying to be a theme park and the rest of wonderland employees are trying to still be in a amusement park So it's like this really confusing place Um, and then I'd build a mock extreme spinner for front to canada emphasis on front to canada I would build the gci around Leviathan actually I know a lot of people would want the extreme spinner over by Leviathan But I want I'm sold on an extreme spinner being themed to like a lumber mill And I think that even though a gci would make a hundred percent sense as a lumber mill But I don't know something about a gci just being like underneath Leviathan and you could theme it to like I don't know Um Definitely a gci a mock double launch more theming like and I would a hundred percent scrap action zone I would even get rid of behemoth the name and just re-theme it to the old world expo and theme it around The culture surrounding wonderland like I would love to have like an indian theme a japanese a chinese um Just like celebrating the cultures that like literally live in toronto Like even an italian theme would do really well because vaughn Like all of those themes would I would play off that that's what I would do as a business owner Actually, I would get rid of all the themed areas to no more med fair or no more frontier canda. Just focus on rides. Yeah That's what we need What I need How much Jesus christ don't judge. Yeah, that's true bazoo, but however you pronounce it. I'm so sorry if I put you there Yeah, yeah go carts need to go It's okay a good question A monkey brother Do you know if wonderland has ever considered a railroad slash people mover to help move people around the park? Honestly guys, I'm taking the blueprints. I have thanks to an ace event I'm posting them. They did consider a railroad people mover type attraction. It was supposed to be part of the original frontier canada Could you imagine I just burrowed Oh And peter the head of construction and planning has said he has wanted one, but it's too expensive now and there's no like there's no practical space for it What's your best experience you've ever had at wonderland come on your best experience say it like your best one That rain ride we had on leviathan. What that was so much fun What that would okay. No, that was a good experience for me.  Now you can see on youtube as long as it's not in the first 20 seconds for some odd reason Okay, no, no, no In all seriousness one of the coolest experiences at wonderland. I think was when I got to go into yukon's tunnel and for the ace event the first time I went on the mountain And going into mine busters helix that was really cool For the roller coaster event that was That was really surreal and you know what even just I don't know It's so hard now that I think about it like to pick one specific experience because when you go as much as we do With our group like yeah, we've had our off days, but we have so many days Well, we're just we'll sit there and we'll start turning right in the face laughing about the stupidest things I'm like that's a funny moment Um The firework night was also surreal not a good experience, but oh my god That was like out of a movie. That was definitely our worst experience. I think like that was the worst experience I remember I called my work and they were like take as many as much time as you need off because it was just one thing After the other like do you remember medically how much it messed me up too? Yeah, I don't how did it not mess you guys up I had a cough for like a week, right? Right That's true. Like I had really bad like chemical burn. I think and it was we were breathing in fiberglass. Yeah Um, I think my best moment was driving through wonderland That would have been kind. Yeah, that was cool. And grace took us on a purposely long route to like love grace Like that was so iconic Um There was another question I saw Oh, uh, do you think wonderland would ever go year round? We were actually talking about this in discord This is a good one. I feel like this would be a podcast topic Bookmark for next week bookmark for next week Will do we think wonderland would ever go year round? That's a podcast topic This season pass holder day. Oh, that hasn't been announced yet, but it'll probably be the friday prior Yeah, we could really pull up a calendar and now I have okay. I have been hearing rumblings that the opening day actually isn't set in stone Really? Yeah, so everyone went back to work this yes today saturday saturday all areas seems to are called back in early We're good because this is a really late opening day not late like they've opened main fifth before but We should be open the like at least the last weekend of april in my opinion. Yeah Millie is better than i-305. Oh Who is is this the ohio person? No, it's some steven bar Millenium force is the worst giga there is it's literally the worst coaster. I would take gemini over millennium Millie bobby brown But everyone is entitled to their own opinion So I wish top thrill dragster takes up top gun and tomb raiders place That would be pretty cool to have like a strata style. I know you've always said we've kind of needed something like that um Yeah I think that if the park ever built a strata coaster Even a non-record breaking one it would do really well And by the way when when he says when we say non-record breaking we still mean over 350 feet tall So that in itself is like Like that's just think about a ride 350 feet tall that brendon. They're all gone. They're all gone. You drank it all You drink that You have work tomorrow. I do I do What's the roughest ride you've ever been on these are really good questions guys I like these questions. They're like actually questions that create like topics So this is actually um In ace news as well this ride at lake compounds. There's a ride called wildcat and it's an old one coaster It's really old. It's like 60 70 years old And that's probably the roughest thing i've ever built been on Lake compounds wants to retrac it but a bunch of entitled enthusiasts are protesting and saying that they can't change it Because lake compounds wants to use titan track and they're saying that would take away from the original ride Which is the point So that was my roughest ride and um Vortex at carowinds is also up there. That ride is terrible. It's absolutely terrible Oh my god, I was gonna say wild beast, but then you reminded me um the flying coaster at carowinds What's it called? Oh nighthawk. Yeah nighthawk I wrote it for the first time ever and all was great. Okay, the ride started and we're going through the cycle everything's great I'm like, this isn't as bad for coma doesn't make bad flying ghosts. This is great The corkscrew comes.  Look at what we have? Oh my god Ah, what do you think we'll get removed next Guys, this is literally unpredictable like honestly when I say it's unpredictable podcast just off Yeah, like maybe like should we here? Let me take notes Can you help me here for a second because I am a little okay. Okay. Give me um, no, I'll take notes because I I was gonna text you podcast episode four Because we didn't talk about wonderland's future attendance this episode either and I did want that but we ran out of time So I have wonderland's future attendance wise Well, what do we talk about before that one that we were saying Guys, what did we say we were gonna put in the the next live? Okay, we'll write this one down. Yeah, what's this one next ride to be removed Next ride to be removed And well, I'm so sorry guys. I and this is my fault um Year round. Thank you so much. Thanks remastered studios Awesome, okay, so I have that right there. That's at least an hour. That's a good That one's a really good one next episode might be our best one yet They each keep getting and then we'll also insert the reacting to reviews one. Yeah. Yeah. That's the podcast right there. Yeah Bomb-storing timbers. I have a tick tock. I'm making you know the tick tock sound where it's like bomb it bomb it with fire like Kings island could go you around Didn't you guys talk about riding removes a couple weeks back? We did we did we We did but we didn't really brush into it that much like We need I think we need to do more proper in-depth analysis when you try Kate and ask cedar points most underrated ride Underrated. Yeah I have one that I I have one that I disagree Thank you Thank you. No, Ruger is a great ride. Everyone hates it. Yeah, it's so intense and I hate intense rides No, no, I agree. I just got Ruger It's one of the better sit-downs I thought it was okay as a stand-up, too But they it was still rough as a stand-up. So they actually did improve the ride The layout is great. There's never a line for it. I don't know why people hate it Brian, I can agree with gatekeeper for a reason I think gatekeeper is boring in the lane But capacity wise it was the most genius move that part could have done I think a lot of people like gatekeeper now Yeah, which makes it not underrated My sister thinks flight deck is less rough than mine buster I could see why someone would struggle between the two if you sit in the front of flight deck It's not that bad. We kind of fell in love with uh flight deck a little bit in the front The crew there was also awesome. Yeah, they were. Oh, I wonder why you thought they went home.  See magma isn't really underrated though because a lot of enthusiasts preach that ride Yeah, I don't think magma is underrated Brady, I think the highest theoretical capacity is a bnm wind coaster at like 1720 What's the worst thing that ever happened to Canada's Wonderland? You can't ask me questions like that right now guys, we're gonna no Moving on Oh my goodness Yukon right now Mine buster Oh my god No, Yukon was worse I mean both would have led to Yeah, but I was on mine buster I was on it when it happened What is the longest queue line for a coaster ride you Dead, this is not wait time from entrance to the station. What is the most seasonal attended seasonal season park in the world I'm gonna assume something in china and I that's not meant to sound bad, but that's just population wise Actually, isn't it Europa? Europe is seasonal Oh, that's true. Is it? Hmm, it's gonna be Europa or something in Asia because I thought Europa got like six seven million Not very far me's approaching that too. Oh, it's not seasonal. Oh, yeah The longest I like steel and wood rides the longest distance for a queue I think it's the boss at st. Louis Are you happy that Yukon striker replaced skyrider? Yeah, yeah skyrider was terrible. Like I don't understand how Yeah, I post a video about skyrider a couple days ago and everyone was like, oh, I miss it. I wish they bring it back I hope they bring it back and like I can nobody missed it because it never had a line And if you wrote it, especially if you were a guy you would come off with severe pain Isn't Europa in china? No, Europa is not in china. At least I don't think now you have me second guessing Is in Germany Number one bucket list coaster Mine is Hades 360 at mount olympus uh gravity group And I want to ride it really badly because it has the longest continuous tunnel in the world on a roller coaster About 1200 feet long under a parking lot this coaster flies at 65 miles an hour underneath a parking lot How cool is that and then it does a 360 degree barrel rule and you go back under the parking lot Cool What about you? Velocicoster Basin, I'm joking. I'm joking. That's what it feels like after your little heartfelt moment there I have always wanted to ride Hades 360 even before I was a coaster enthusiast. I knew about this Iron guasi, that's a good one What was your least favorite ride you've ever had? The most disappointed I've ever been on a ride. I guess yeah Okay, and this is this was when I first went to Cedar Point No shade. I'm being dead serious. It honestly probably was millennium force Hearing people talk about that ride I thought like I was going to be like this is going to be the best thing in the world Like I'm going to black out, you know, it's going to go so fast And I remember the first time I rode millennium and I'm looking around and like that That was we just went in a straight line for 6000 feet. Basically Did a few curves What about you? Foretax at carolins, I think I got hurt first of all. I caught myself on the ride. It was so violent Oh, but that goes back to like the roughest. What about a ride? You were really looking forward to riding like you thought it was going to be so cool And then you ride it like, you know what this isn't that cool. That's a hard one um Maybe spider-man at universal studios Spider-man at universal studios looking forward to because I rode transformers first So I guess I set myself up for failure there I wrote transformers first and then spider-man The drop tower at universal two, but like I've only been to like very A ride that super hyped me up that because I had never been on one is houdini at great adventure Oh, yeah. Yeah, that was really cool because I'd never been on one super That's one of that's one of the best flat rides Yeah, like I wish Wonderland would do all with one of those. I think we would do amazing and it doesn't take up much space Millennium is obviously on that list, but I feel like that's one that a lot of people secretly share and they just wanted to win it Okay gatekeeper too. I was hyped up for that and that was a disappointment. Will you be live on tiktok? Will you be live on tiktok? Oh, it's 1047 I rode back row while beast once and hit the bottom I Is there a retweet button I can hit a retweet grace wonderland wonder hi Why why is she tied up in your closet? Caleb has a point about while beast that you should yeah, I need an adult I had two apes Be swiss We break the track again I feel like I feel like we were directly added there. Yeah, I think I think there was a Susie scheduled me in for a therapy appointment tomorrow. You need jenny crag I do too We'll be smarter these next years and in 10 years the park will build the biggest investment in the park's history I think every major investment leading up is the bigger. That's personalized. Your face is their profile I look really cute there. Yeah, you look like that. I was is that you or is that you? The app when apple a lot of people like eating apples around Are you a rectangle? I think intimidate carat winds has a great free-fall sensation in the back rows I feel like a lot of hypers do though.  Okay. What do you think about removing go karts and having a big rmc wild beast? You've talked about this a lot why you think rmc will never work with cedar fair So it's a really tough one because I think an rmc would be great at wonderland like ultimately at the end of the day when you think about it Like imagine the marketing. Oh, yeah. Yeah, like it'd be insane There's two factors as to why I don't think an rmc is ever going to be coming to canada's wonderland one The park itself has confirmed that they have no interest in building an rmc unless it's ground up Now a lot of you may not know what ground up means essentially is what they would do is go bulldoze wild beast essentially and build a ground up rmc They also could have been teasing ground up by saying they would only build steel rmc Like a single rail There could have been two things factors that are a lot of enthusiasts forget The other equation is cedar fair has had nothing but problems similar to intimate with rmc This may actually be a good podcast topic. Yeah I'll talk about them more, but yeah, essentially very similar to intimate Um, there are maintenance nightmare. They're not Okay, I know a lot of people are gonna, you know, probably be upset But they're not as reliable as people think they are like they've had a lot of problems I know steel vengeance is steel vengeance that but Just look at like a ride like steel vengeance even twisted timbers the structural issues those rides have had Considering they've only been around for for less than five years for five years now That's almost unacceptable when you look at a gci like mystic timbers and thunderhead that have no problems I just need to interrupt So there's a girl in here a girl that feel like an understatement when I say a girl There is a person in here jasmine dreams Y'all need to go subscribe to her because I love her. She's an icon. She's amazing. She's worked with the channel helped me a lot Um, and she's always there for me when I need her So like if you guys please could go support jasmine dreams up there her comment If you guys can see it She's honestly amazing and she's worked at wonderland and she's just honestly, please like if you could just go sub to her Please that's all I ask a simple quick. I know a lot of people don't do it, but please just for her sub Because she's amazing How did she how did they change their name to jasmine dreams? How did they change their names so quickly? I don't know. How's that even allowed? That's creepy There's two no the one with a girl is the not me brendon's face the one that said oh my god brendon crying face that one Um, and well one secret can is when I'm being removed never I don't think they've spent so much time. Oh, yeah redoing the cables and stuff And it's a good attraction a lot of people line up for it And it's it's fun. You get a nice view I'm getting scared. Oh my god. If universal bought wonderland What investments could you see? I could see a four thousand dollar season pass I could see blackout days I could see 10 hour waits I could see no dining plan So, yeah, no Oh, harry potter life and it's going to be like the wizarding world of ride the broomstick The trains will be single rail six flags bought wonderland Um swan re swan lake retrack when it just happened remember Was that a retracker? It was it was complete redo You remember I showed pictures and everything Yes, like I Again, the person doesn't work there anymore. So I can great source love this person when they worked at wonderland They worked in maintenance. Um, they were a fabricator slash What do you call them when they work on actual welding? A welder like yeah, like complete retrack of swan way like two years ago I don't always when they like redid the lining and stuff. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, but like complete new like He didn't rebuild all the rails and everything himself great guy great guy What if seaworld bought wonderland then only 250 season passes Really good food jennifer's got a really good question What are thoughts on the after hours nights 10 to 1 I think during the summer they could do after hours events a separate ticket and everything imagine that And this though you see jennifer this is my biggest beef And wonderland can't because it can't make noise past midnight, which I think is completely only on this big three I found out the noise complaint only applies to the big three all the other coasters don't apply to the bit noise complaint Yeah, okay, but what's uconn's excuse? It's just the chains. It's just the chain But it's loud chain They could do what a ryan did and make it silent then could it run? Yeah, I guess yeah, but it only applies to the big three all the other coasters aren't filed under noise Come wait so they could still offer Yeah, I agree jasmine extra ticketed event. I'm like as a business person. I'm like You all have to leave the park at 10 p.m. But from 11 p.m. Till 2 a.m. Or 3 a.m 40 dollars come back in and we only have swans and thunder on open Winterfest in the summer It's gonna be called summer but serve alcohol and everything have like little like vampire disco Wonderland wonderland wonderland hi hi hi hi hi A vampire disco, but in summer 11 p.m. To 3 a.m. Or 2 a.m. Whatever you want to do, honey Um a few rides open noise complaint wise like flat rides in the hut you have an event And it'll fund that alone would fund our next coaster I'm looking at you ever There's like holy crap. She's like unsubscribe She's trying to fall asleep the tv is talking to me Yes jasmine remember the festivals I saw I got introduced to lady gaga at that festival the summer rush Canada's summer nights Why is he whispering? I don't know. I'm not in the right mindset right in front of your nights That's right brayden. It was adults only steel vengeance and maverick Ajax is also a valid point staffing would be an issue it would that's one of the reasons they couldn't do like Other parks didn't stay open till midnight right for the last day I saw edward calling a vampire disco Lots of wonder moving your ride for an arm c Again, I really don't see wonderland working with our emcee unless it's a single rail Uh best beginning we've ever been on gatekeeper Are you trying to test how drunk I am right now? I'm still there. I'm not gone It took me a second though. I let's say I was like, oh Okay, maybe his opinions have changed not fury. No What am I ever gonna say gatekeeper is good? I love lady gaga Honestly guys, I'm a little bit afraid that a surf coaster is in our future. I you know what if it's a launch That's okay. It's okay. Just make it go over 100 and we're good. I am surya Oh, who am I? You bethany Bessie The same tick tock. Oh, okay Wonderland should add a new drop tower. I agree Yeah, they should do like a falcons fury type thing or even you had that video from intimate that other There's so many people watching right now. This is the q&a I thought we were gonna get like 20 something people in here after the stream. This is fun Yeah, this is fun. You guys are asking really good questions like bull on What if all cedar fir parks were open 24 seven? They do need some time to do me Stefan or steven. I'm so sorry. It's stefan or steven I'm assuming stefan A really good question. Will sledgehammer ever get removed. This is a really tough one I I think with the amount of effort that they've put into it now and now it's open for winterfest No, I don't think it will I learned why it stopped opening for winterfest though. They gave up on it This is breaking, right? Yeah Um It's jokes so they gave up on it because it would became a maintenance nightmare and they were just it's not worth keeping it open So with that new information Is it as valuable to the ride lineup? Still they've tried everything with this thing. You know when you like You know the famous saying you can only help a friend so much And then eventually you have to accept it's like no more helping You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make a drink. Yeah, so Are we approaching that? Get rid of it and put a scream and swing Make it like sink with cyclone. Bless it be the fruit Jasmine I'm team sledgehammer. I will chain myself to that ride if they now Jump into Herman is so cute. Oh my god Imagine a 250 300 foot drop tower with higher capacity. That's what wonderland means. Yeah like an intimate gyro drop You can put 60 people on one of those So braden brings up a good point too At when winter first first started you remember sledgehammer was running in the best it's ever run all arms were twisting All arms are twisting all arms were working. It was like no problems. It was open night They did do maintenance. I'm sure on it before and it was running fine, but in true sledgehammer fashion It's like nope. Yeah Um ideas for new merch we need more fun merch jennifer I would do more merch The only problem is I learned a really hard fact people are only interested In what what are they only interested in? Let's put it this way. What do you when you go to wonderland? What's the must ride attraction you have to ride especially in the front fight for the front So when I released my merch behemoth Yukon and Leviathan I feel like I'm gonna give to it sold like 38 Leviathan shirts and I sold like three Yukon And I sold like two behemoth So I was supposed I had a whole lineup. I had a really cool dragon fire shirt design pre-made um, it was like um One of those towers that they archery out of and then it was like the dragon fire loops and then a dragon blowing fire As the front of the train like it was like the train morphed into a dragon And then I just didn't because each design by the way because I'm not an artist It cost me like 300 canadian dollars to design a design um So when I designed Yukon, it was 300 when I designed Leviathan, it was 300 when I designed behemoth It was 300 Leviathan earned back what it cost to design it But Yukon and behemoth I ran a negative And then the website because I had to use a website because I don't I'm not popular enough Of a youtuber like El Toro Ryan or Costa Studios where mass people are buying I had to have a website that does everything for me Um, so I like merches and being shipped to my house and then I'm shipping it out Um, that only works if you have mass quantities So I had to do every order got its own separate order It cost $80 a month to run that website So now that sales stopped I cut everything and I haven't invested in anything new um Maybe down the road as the channel grows more in 2023. I'll reintroduce some things But yeah, I'm super invested in like creating that merch designs that I wish Wonderland had Where it played on the actual identity of the ride and not just some stupid like plug-and-play like designs Yeah, I've gotten rid of a thing I'll you know what's you know what I can what I really can do is actually I can just upload it to youtube store And youtube does everything for you and you get like 30 of the proceeds because they take all of the proceeds essentially But I mean that's at least something For you guys and an ability to buy the merch that are interested. I'll probably just do it that way Um, but I ran no profit from my merch by the way. Like I'm not one of those.  He's like, this is my merch Yeah, no idea.  I made a video telling people I would fully refund them for the mask I literally offered full refunds for anyone that bought a mask Is flight deck getting removed? I do think it will eventually. Yeah I agree with that the rmc raptor being horrible because the capacity 100 it would have to be the T-rex which isn't even yeah Do you think wonderland could ever make another coaster to go over the behemoth lake when they get desperate for land? Yes, but it would be a super costly investment We're actually we learned the reason why behemoth hasn't received a paint job is because of that Isn't like weren't we told something or was I just I just didn't breathe Oh my god, I stopped breathing Wasn't it because painting over the water made it like almost like double the cost or something like that? That would make sense But they have painted a lot of coasters that go over water Drizzy devil is down more than caught. So, um, oh, hey joe. He's from discord. Um Big mac, uh, so yes, that's a really valid point. That is why I think cedar fair won't work with thing. It just If you're not reliable rmc was like a really good idea on paper and like when you look at them, they're beautiful Like those lighting packages in the wood structure like I oh my god. I could look at steel vengeance all day any of them like um What's the park out in poland? Energy yes Zodra lighting package like all of them are good that they look beautiful their clickbait is what I like to call them But they're just maintenance nightmares Wonderland should add a new drop tower. Yes Yeah Use fiverr for dine. That's what I actually did. That was that that was what cost me $300 fiverr. It's a great website I recommend it. You can find great people that are like five star review for their artwork. Um I just want to Sorry this question. What can does wonderland switch out the oil and use electric motors to power the ride for sledgehammer? So they use hydraulic fluid to power the cylinders. You cannot use electric motors on something like that They are not powerful enough hydraulic fluid provides torque instantly And um more power per stroke instantly compared to an electric motor For something as big as sledgehammer's boom arm the motors for that would have to be the size of a van a mini van And that's per arm though. That's not feasible So unfortunately you do need hydraulic fluid. That's a good question though. It's not. Yeah, that's a really good question It's not it uses motors and compress nitrogen to compress the hydraulic fluid, right? That goes into the cylinders for the hydraulic arms But the motors cannot actually power individual arms That's a good question. Yeah, great question for you to answer too And in fact for an ace tour, do you remember? Yes We got a tour and guys the oil level line in the basement when that ride purges It purges thousands of liters of fluid and these cylinders these hydraulic cylinders are 20 30 feet up Like you'll go look inside the base of the tower and you can stare up and it's taller than the house per Nothing happened. Nothing's happening right now per cylinder. So it's actually a really cool thing But unfortunately they need the hydraulic oil If wonderland gets a wing coaster, would it be a hyper, right? It would probably be over the 200 foot mark I'm hoping for a launch wing But we'll see Um, any of you have been to bush gardens Tampa by chance, uh, max max mass. I have but not since 2018 Uh, uh, bgt is one of my favorite parks. So it's a beautiful park Oh Do you think wonderland will get a clone of tumbly to replace riptide? Oh The only reason so tumbly at kings dominion actually has had a lot of problems um And the capacity is very Very very limited Which is great for a park like kings dominion because they don't really get the crowds that wonderland gets But I don't think wonderland would go down that route and Wonderland hasn't never worked with s and s like s and s is a fairly foreign concept for cedar fair Kings dominion has a very interesting history with s and s With hypersonic axial, but I don't think wonderland would get one Uh, wonderland should add a new drop tower. Yes, they should Conversation it's such a good topic We went the s and s and how wonderland doesn't have any so we won't get any Okay, okay guys, we are gonna talk about that further on in the next podcast s and s I know this because of marine land and my sources at marine land Okay My pants up. Oh my god.  Okay So I know this because marine land Um, you brought up a really good point on why they won't invest in a ride like a 4d coaster because we don't have anything from s and s I learned this from marine land parks actually do invest in rides Based off of their current portfolio and ride manufacturers that they work with and the reason being is because um Brennan you have to sign a contract with wonderland to see your merch Oh to sell my merch Yeah, I've been very careful by like that, but um So like a park with marine land will stick to specific ride manufacturers because their maintenance team Is already trained to work with those rides and to train a maintenance team To work with a brand new ride actually cost a lot of money Um, it's a lot of training you have to implement its new parts. It's new mechanics. It's new systems So for example s and s at wonderland makes no sense Because you're switching to a completely new system like air launch, right? Yeah Yeah, new pneumatics or something like that. These are words marine land actually taught me Um, but that's why whereas marine land their maintenance team is super trained on um pneumatics pneumatics and air launches and air compressors um So It was funny because I actually just recently learned that that might be why we're not getting a scream and swing at wonderland Um is for those reasons now wonderland will eventually if they want a specific ride They will invest in that training and a park like wonderland investing in training isn't too costly But a hard click marine land. It's too costly to train your very specific trained team So that is why some parks actually stay to a niche super interesting. I thought you guys would like that That's why I heard it from the washroom. I was like stop the podcast Brady also Brady also said you could see a reflection from the ucon To me one of the washroom You can't see it that well, but if you're like in line around there you can see pretty well But once you in there you can't see how important are coaster credits to you? I think we both agree on this Uh, you know what when I was younger I used to take it really seriously, but now I just want a good ride I don't really care about the credit I don't care about credits After a while, you know and you go to like one or two other parks and realize You know a lot of this stuff is the same stuff Like literally the same stuff So you're going to go spend all this time and all this money riding the same things No, you should be riding something that brings you pleasure I will talk to you about that when we are in serious life What's there to talk about? I mean door was shut when I was going to the washroom So no one could see anything but um, you're gonna talk to Brendan That explains why rides at Wunderland are mostly made by Mondale. That's a really valid point Actually, I should make a video on that. That's a good separate like just youtube video to plug on my channel What are your thoughts on Riptide? I think Riptide is a really good ride. It is definitely a maintenance nightmare like and From what my maintenance From what my sources have said to me Might have to not upload this as an actual video Well, my sources have told me it is The highest on the shopping block with drop tower Which would make sense because Kings Island got rid of theirs. I think Kings Dominion got rid of theirs as well I know there's one Uh great adventure. I'm pretty sure left and right twix Terrible thing Um Riptide not getting you wet anymore might actually have to do with rusting parts Yeah, that's that's a little unfortunate I agree Mr. Sandwich. I'm actually kind of excited about the possibility of Zemperla's Recent like advancement with technology because I think that wonderland might be Not wonderland see a fair might be island And I think whatever happens with top flow dragster is going to be a deciding factor I just think like because now Zemperla has just gotten on to the level of like mock b&m and intimate Is someone deleting comments? Why mr. Sandwich's comment just disappeared. Oh, no, there it is. Okay good Um by I would still take a mock What will we be expecting a new flat ride 2024? Literally 2023 and then 2024 You could only go upside down so many different ways Falcons fury. Okay. Yeah, I would take that. I would take falcons fury. That would be the that's my favorite flat ride 100% next large coaster addition to wonderland will be in 2025 If it's not 2025, which is if that happens something happened Something happened Like uconn so a little history for those of you that don't know uconn was actually supposed to be in 2016 We were supposed to get uconn striker in 2016. It was the same coaster from what I think but no theming And what had happened? Sorry, sorry What had happened was cedar fair was like two things cedar point needed an investment asap Because they're hotel renovation and then also wonderland presented cedar fair with this plan And I know this to be true. This was confirmed by higher up Basically wonderland was like hey frontier canada back to park roots and cedar fair was like We love that like we eat that up. We want that so everything at wonderland got pushed back Thus Soaring timbers or was it skyhawk something what was 2016 skyhawk skyhawk skyhawk was super last minute There's no theming to it.  I saw it in the camera.  I like their theming I wish soaring timbers looked like the renderings because tundra twister Looks better than the renderings tundra twister looks so good guys. I don't know if you see my video Gotta move over a little bit tundra twisters Beautiful the paint job they hired an actual artist To do the paint work on tundra twister, which says a lot about wonderland's future by the way Lumberjack's a good ride in my opinion I don't like the blue pieces on lumberjack Like I don't like that. You can see this blue bar and oh in between the axes Yeah, like I hate that and they for some reason Guests don't gravitate towards lumberjack. It's almost it's kind of like hidden too. Like it's kind of you know back there and Sometimes lumberjack doesn't always work. Do you have a crush on wonderland? Yes I I've never been there before but um, what was it going on? Oh, so uh, uconn was pushed back So there are occasions where cedar fair will You know wonderland at the end of the day is a super successful park We had a really successful summer and i'm just pre warning you guys one last time That 2023 is going to be our busiest season yet Literally our busiest season yet wonderland season pass sales are through the roof Um all season fast lanes on sale for six hundred dollars. They went up again. So now i'm right Remember when I predicted it was going to be the six hundred dollars and everyone was I actually thought it was going to be 650 during Now but I think it's going to go up one more time Oh wonderland. So, okay. That's what we were talking about. So 2025. Sorry. I guess so I'm Again, it's my own doing. I had a rough week. So I decided to have some drinks But 2025 is supposed to be a really big investment a big investment. That's my prediction Take it with a grain of salt. Take it with the rumblings. Again, my sources are telling me next year 2024 But I don't believe them. We would have seen more signs unless She wouldn't coasters or wouldn't coasters easy to build Well, I mean you can't really prefab anything the raw materials just has to show up Right. They started in mist of timbers like at the end of 2016 and when did it open 2017 I don't think it's going to be a woody though If it is we're going to see land clearing very soon What if they don't need to clear land? What if they're just clearing where the coasters going and they want the trees or the gci? Because they have to clear something. Okay. I keep repeating myself My sources are telling me that wonderland is getting a coaster in 2024 For the first time ever I have taken a hard stance of no, we're not we're not getting a coaster in 2024 It's 2025 So I am fighting my own sources on us not getting a coaster. They're saying we're getting a coaster um I actually think we could get even get a gravity group of cedar fairs starting to work with them with grizzly but So if we don't if we get a coaster in 2024 It's not going to be what I think it is If we get a coaster in 2025 expect a 30 to 35 million dollar investment Which screams mock to me which by the way like if we do get you know a gravity group or gci or whatever, um Even though it might only cost 15 million dollars. That's still likely to be a world-class roller coaster Yeah, um And again We're paying heavy. I hate giving out this information early to people, but we are paying attention to the flying canoes area There's something happening there and those distance markers did appear really early Which didn't because if you tundra twisters appeared halfway through The season way And that building that was built there. That's a pretty cheap building like they could just knock that down But it had distance markers on it Right, maybe they have to determine if it's gonna like they're only doing distance markers on that to determine if it's an obstacle Does this work can you guys hear us? I'm sure they can still hear us Oh, no, those distance markers are there really early what if my sources are right about It's a wooden coaster Or a smaller junior coaster No I mean, we'll see if it is they're gonna have to start doing stuff by july latest But I brought up a good point in my last construction update the company that was working on the footings for Um, stupidity simila have now moved over to tundra twister And then once they're done tundra twister, then they'll start the next project And that's why we haven't seen anything because wonderland can't hire multiple companies It doesn't make sense to they're just gonna hire the same company to get that Almost like bulk discount. Well, I also want to see what carolins is doing for 2024 Because we seem to be on a very similar similar thing A wonderland will get a wing coaster. I have no doubts wonderland will get a wing coaster eventually Launch wing, baby. Honestly braden. I agree if we see a coaster in 2024, it's not going to be amazing I mean it will if it's a gci, but it won't be amazing amazing. It's gonna be like a 10 million dollar coaster Yeah, but wait if it's a gci or gravity group, it will be amazing. It'll probably be the best ride in our park Thanks, dustin You don't worry you guys don't need to give us money like honestly just sit in here and enjoy Like I'm not doing this for obviously I like making money off this channel is great But like you don't have to give us any money at all It's like just sit in here. I'll read your comments. Don't worry to the best of my ability Yes, when coaster needs a themed character diner and lazy bear for winterfowl thoughts. Yeah, I Any themed character is great. They kind of do with the belch nickels that hang out outside and they occasionally walk into warm up and Marylin hasn't added a ride in such a long time. They just added one Star voyager, I agree. Trust me. I So I you can't ignore no matter how much we sit here and argue about this wonderland has had an electrical company on site for Six seven eight years now lsm, baby 130 plus launches coming soon You can't ignore that that is super pricey That is so pricey and the amount of energy you need for an lsm is is something that You know, that would by far be the most energy consumption at the park Now further information added to that discussion is wonderland does have electrical problems. They have a really Again comes back to the bad infrastructure Under paramount. Well, just outdated. It was never updated. Like so they have all that but you cannot ignore a six seven eight year contract that an electrical company has upgrading the power grid at wonderland so It's always a possibility that we could be seeing a launch coaster coming to wonderland over the next couple years We need a launch coaster to fill up our lineup and wonderland's record was just taken from them It's sad that we had a record in that category But wonderland's record was just taken from them a good one and a really easy record to take back Like I feel like they could just upgrade thunder runs launch a little bit Now like just turn up the dial it's like yeah, I gotta go around once on my lady and then we'll say oh, that's why Um No, I think a launch of 120 would be like imagine that 120 130 Launched at wonderland. That would be that would be spectacular It was beautiful wing coaster trains Okay, that's what I need cpr and their food and beverage Okay, again, I spoke badly about the food department I did after my video and I don't want to be cocky and take credit But after my video, we did see great improvements. I did get in trouble for my video Again, I am putting my foot down to the amount of trouble I got in But I'm not gonna rant about that anymore. I've ranted about in two videos now 100 twister will go 150 feet in the air Star Voyager isn't old. It's two years old 2021 Yeah, yeah, it's new What if a coma comes through oh my god, I would like I'd prefer a coma over Let's get controversial. Okay. I'd prefer for a coma over mock I'd no, I'd definitely take a mock over for a coma. Really? Yeah mock spinner Okay Stop stop a mock spit. Like what do you mean? Why why do you need to ask? I know but look at energylandia's blue water coaster by the coma This looks good.  So imagine what they could do now Look at the look at the mock hypers. Could you imagine a mock hyper blitz design?  They do cool things like that. They make spinning cars They put backwards cars Vakoma still catching up on their track design. No guys. You're confusing me. I feel like I'm in high school again not knowing my I don't know what I want I've heard of the css force list. Oh looks cool Yeah, it looks cool Uh if wonderland removes kingswood they will put a huge the b&m. Yeah, I'm saying I'm saying let's get that b&m launch I like copper head too for what it is I would love that mock launch in china though Ajax. Yeah, I should be able to be honest without getting in trouble It's something that we're struggling with a lot right now because we are of bigger size and syria's skyrocketed in size as well But I'm still held to a higher standard than you I think which is weird Well, I'm sorry. I kind of zoned out because the food department stuff you hated on the food department more than me I think would you agree or disagree? So I think youtube is held to a higher standard because it's more professional Whereas when I made my chicken tender video I mean, I was being sincere.  Please change them But brendan made a video in a professional Capacity and I think that will always have more merit because one it's professional So like there's more weight behind it and brendan has that reputation Especially amongst the coaster community like my reputation is more with long teenagers which sucks So brendan has that really good reputation You know it has amusement insiders. So I would say what he says is more more like sought after more Not necessarily valid, but it's taken more I don't know what the word is, but yeah, it's more like you know what I'm trying to say, right? Yeah, it's more I was just shocked because at the time I thought my opinion was taken really seriously And then when it came to a winterfest media event, I was told I was not welcome For because it involved food and beverage So I just felt a little disrespected because then in that moment. I realized wait, I'm controlled I I'm literally being controlled And how I feel and my video was really professional like it was super like hey I witnessed this I didn't like it As a business manager and someone think I did not like this. I felt like it wasn't like It was literally like hey This could be done better and this is why and I didn't like it. It hurt my feelings Like it was literally that and then Yeah Yeah, it was super honest to you and I'm a business manager Like that's literally like what I was giving feedback on is literally my area of business Like what I do really well and every job I've worked at I've done really well in that category like like again like I I hold that like I'm good as a business manager and I feel like my feedback is really good So now I'm bitter now. I'm really bitter because I got punished for it You know what we'll see what happens in April. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah, we're waiting for that We'll see what happens if we're not invited to the the media map for the new coaster, then there's gonna be some We'll see what happens. We can't We can't speculate yet Brendan, have you ever been on copperhead? Yes What did you think of copperhead? I didn't like it. I mean He just doesn't like carolyn's I hate carolyn's Oh, that's an angle. Holy The couch the poor couch How about out of the secrets that you can't talk about at wonderland? I don't think we should tell them how bad they they're bad moving on I went to carolyn sunday and with my ride forces aberrated some coaster force and copper strike is plus 4.16 g Is there's no way Probably but that that's for such a minute amount of time. It's probably during one of the rolls Or the twists Yeah, well, no, trust me. I've I've gotten I've come to the conclusion that I'm gonna be an honest channel and if that leads to certain things and it leads to certain things like There's no stopping me at this point. Like we're doing good. Yeah, and we've realized that before I was slightly biased And when I was kissing wonderland's butt didn't get me anything cool um And I guess when I was said no to certain things like when I really want I wanted to film a maintenance video Um, and I wanted to film like a how they get set up for winterfest And when things were said no to me after kissing their butt for an entire year and boosting the sales of all season fast lane and then I was said no to I was kind of just like Yeah, well Let's bet in the face.  I can Then grow my channel in an honest way and be more honest with my viewers and grow it that way And that's better and I know that like looks bad. Yeah, I was biased before I was kissing their butt before Um, because I genuinely like people that work at wonderland. I really do. There's a lot of people I like grace peacock. She's one of my favorite people love her to death even if there's beef sometimes Still love her respect her. She works really hard. She's really good for the community But if I'm going to be held to a standard of only presenting good Things about wonderland, it's not going to work for me if I'm not being given things to Offset or benefit the viewers I'm not paying their bills trust me at the end of the day wonderland's going to be successful no matter what Um, but I do do a lot of good things for the park again when narcity and thing We're posting ride breaking ride breaking if anybody remembers that era like a year ago I was constantly in their corner fighting for them Wonderland has zero acts No one has ever gotten hurt at wonderland. Yeah, no guest has ever gotten severely injured at wonderland And that's not something many parks can claim Would you like to see flight that go and see a new ride there? Obviously, yeah That would be a beautiful area too because you could have a going like by the front gate or the parking lot or something Herman entered the chat I Can join this channel for two dollars. I love you guys videos. Thank you. Thank you He was talking about the polar bear actually Can they see my sock Ew, I'm not why am I touching it? Why did I reach for it? Ew My bad habits are I know I'm gonna get an electrical fire. Is that a thing? Velocity firefighter mod um Brenda, what's your favorite ride of marina land? Flying carpet. Oh the bear the bear the bear What's your favorite ride at wonderland? Leviathan What's your no, I get bored of leviathan easily I don't know. I don't really have one that screams So I will tell you this brandon does get bored of leviathan easily.  I'm so sorry. I'm sorry Where did the time go? Two hours that's longer than the stream itself How are y'all still here? Am I gone? Oh, it's 11 30 What the Oh, we gotta wrap this up because you gotta go live on tiktok.  I still gotta go home Oh my god two hours guys. You we're still here. Thank you. You know what this means. Maybe we should start doing the podcast at seven Yeah, I mean we you were here at seven anyway Yeah, so we we should ask them what time what time do you guys want to start doing the podcast at They're gonna say like four p.m. Okay, realistically like anything after six Like would you guys want us to go from like seven to eight thirty then do like another hour of q&a? 11 11 will be up to seven to seven thirty Podcasts can't be 30 minutes long or he's talking about start time seven seven Seven okay, so it looks like seven p.m. Is a better time seven to seven thirty. Yeah, because this is 11 30 p.m I feel like this is late for a lot of you guys. I'm so sorry I think next week nine nine is a little bit too late if we want to do the q&a and stuff Why don't we do it seven thirty On saturday and see how things work with that. Okay. I'll slowly push it out that way we have time for the q&a's Not that late. It's a weekend. That's a true point It might like that's the thing like now that I'm at a new store. That's way busier than the store I was at my schedule is going to be different I I'm available fridays saturdays and sundays, so I no longer have weekends off because now I'm at a store that tripled the sales I was at before So it's either saturday or sundays and yeah, it's gonna be so okay, so that's another thing So for those of you who don't know the store that I was at as manager before has closed It was the least successful store in the company I mean now I'm at a store that like triples the sales at the store I was at currently so I don't have a set schedule anymore I had every weekend off before because the store was just I was the only one that was available to work mornings Now I'm at a store that triples the sales so my schedule is going to be all over the place, so yeah So we'll see what we'll see what happens. It'll always be a saturday or sunday. Don't worry I'm saturday seems to work still because if I work a saturday, it'll be a morning Are you guys so underrated? I don't think we're underrated. I think I was underrated for a bit there I I think you guys have been yeah, you guys have honestly thanks to you guys the construction updates even are doing way better than they like for For a flat ride and a kid coaster Getting 3,000 views honestly like I couldn't be more like appreciative of you guys Watching the videos like because when I first started doing the construction updates a month ago Do you remember I was getting a thousand views at mac like thousand views was healthy now? They're up to like 3,000 views like thank you guys like in the podcast is doing so good Like we're hearing from wonderland workers like that are really like in the podcast We're hearing from a lot of people is also fun for us to like this is something we really look forward to doing Yeah, we literally like we talked throughout the week and we're like and I'm like literally like I'll come home from work And I'll like instantly like start working on the podcast So it's not like like obviously we're doing this for you guys But we're also kind of doing this for us too in a way that like helps like we've had a lot of benefits I have like I've had a lot of benefits mentally from this podcast Yeah I was having a really bad like I like the reason I was Enjoying some beverages on the stream is I had a rough week and now I feel great like I feel honestly good That with a possible trip to carolins will get us right through the winter. Yeah. Yeah, we might be going to carolins in february um So yeah Any last minute Honestly, like thank you though the pod like we have not seen any hate about the podcast Which is crazy for any youtube channel. Yeah even trolling though in a good healthy way I don't mind like I've always been even in my disc where we talk about it I don't mind a good healthy troll as long as you're not being too personal Like if the many you start insulting our weight or like Trying to like that's only something we can do. Yeah Where can we hear your podcast? I haven't figured that out yet. Um, I'm still researching how to upload to spotify Um, that's why we're doing the q and a here is we wanted to keep the podcast So I can quickly just download it transfer it transfer it to an audio and figure out a way to get it on Um, yeah figure out how to get it on to uh spotify, but yeah, we will figure that out The podcast is here permanently. Yeah, unless we get canceled We do have a dark sense of humor by the way, so if you hang out with us in person For tiktok tiktok. Yeah, so this is professional There probably will be bad things that come up about us because like I'm very anti-human So there have been some things on tiktok when I go like I hate humans So if that ever comes to light, I hate humans just know that the thing is you guys have to you guys see us And I like even when we're here, we're not hiding anything if you guys want join the tiktok lives You can see our real real selves. We don't hide anything and I think we're okay people Like oh, yeah, like we've never Like everybody puts on somewhat of a persona Including us sometimes. Yeah, but I think And this is not maybe I'm just being biased because it's us. I'm not trying to sound cocky, but I feel we give our audience a really live And in person experience every time we go live like What you see on camera is how we act off camera 90% of the time so yeah Yeah, but again, I couldn't be More appreciative of what's happened because of this podcast like I've seen a noticeable change on the channel And we both feel really good. Yeah, which is all because of you guys So thank you. Honestly. Thank you And we're gonna keep working now harder Like I even said to him I'm like we have to like hold ourselves to the same standard as the last weeks because people really like the last weeks and now next weeks And I I want to say too like even when wonderland opens. This is something I'm having so much fun with I want to commit to this for the rest of my life for as long as this goes or as long as you'll No, we're gonna we're gonna keep doing this one the thing because I was talking to even like some of the wonderland workers in discord And I was like there's gonna be more news to cover in the summer Like so it makes more sense to do the podcast like a weekly recap at the park Yes, like you cover all the news and you think it makes it makes more sense to keep the podcast going in summer So we're going to make sure So thank you. Thank you. Honestly. Honestly. Honestly.  We always and I fall asleep He fall we got to see the nose cam We got to see up his nose is awesome. Seria k 3 2 5 Follow that.
