Doesn't look like anything had to be removed for it. I hate it when they do that.

They did though. They removed Xtreme Sky Flyer for it.

Just saw Amusement Insider's interview with Wonderland's Director of Maintenance and Construction, Peter Switzer, and he has confirmed there will only be two trains but without comfort collars/seat-belts/side train panels to have as quick of a throughput of ideally 1000 riders per hour. They have enough faith in Premier Rides to have only purchased two trains with very minimal downtime. Most days this summer I have seen Levi/Behemoth/Yukon stack trains anyways, so without the seat-belts it should be a much quicker pace for this ride. Also there is talks of bringing a bin system similar to Yukon on this station, so hopefully that stays in play and we forego a locker system altogether.

Hmmm, not familiar with that one.

I think this is the big swing where a few/one riders would be harnessed in and they allowed to swing back and forth a few times on a couple of wires suspended from two towers. I never did it myself but I remember seeing it.

Canada's Wonderland teases new ride, says goodbye to an old one
For more than two decades, a ride at Canada’s Wonderland has seen guests freefall from 47 metres above ground before swinging over those wondering if they’re brave enough to try it themselves.

The parabolic arch form is nice, I wish there was a second use for it as sculpture.

Alpen's train was unveiled today. I like the sled design and the lack of restraints for Premiere,

Minebuster is getting a lot of work done on 1000ft of track this off-season by Gravity Group which will include a steeper drop and re-profile the airtime hills which will probably extend into the next offseason to completely revamp our classic woodie.

Is there a thread for Alpen Fury? Its a pretty crazy construction project:

I'm surprised there is no coverage on here for this - its a really interesting construction project with some very complex engineering.
