 All righty, I had the pleasure to go to Canada's Wonderland today on Friday and check... Not today, because you guys are watching this a day later. I'm so sorry. I had the pleasure to go on Friday and check out what Canada's Wonderland looked like in stage three. And at first glance, you're going to panic, because you're going to see a lot of people and we've been locked away for a year and a half. So seeing a lot of people is really weird at first, but I promise you, not sucking up or anything, it is extremely safe and yeah, everything went really smoothly. It was a really awesome day and everyone I talked to had such a fantastic visit. People were getting on large amounts of roller coasters. People were riding like Yukon Stryker 10 times, Leviathan 17 times, and it was awesome. You were even able to use the Coke freestyle machines again at Canada's Wonderland, so that was fantastic and super excited to see that. And yeah, there was a lot that you could do. I'm going to try and go over everything I remember. There are shows at Canada's Wonderland that they had the cliff diving experience. They had the show in medieval fair with the cliff diving and the acrobatics, so that was super cool. And they have an awesome dog show in the international show place just across from Wonder Mountains Guardian. So if you're into entertainment, they have that at Canada's Wonderland right now. And to be honest, social distancing is taking place. Obviously like anywhere, you as people have to do your part to keep your social distance. Masks are being worn on rides and Wonderland isn't forcing that. So yeah, it is definitely a very safe experience. If you are super overly cautious, then obviously this probably isn't for you. But for those of us who are vaccinated and wearing masks, go out and enjoy it. It's an awesome experience. There's so much to do. The ride lineups have improved greatly because there is no social distancing going on in the trains, which is such great news. Every row is being filled up. The single rider line is back at Yukon Striker and other attractions as well. And Fastlane lines are almost walk-ons for a lot of these attractions. So if you have all season Fastlane or you buy Fastlane for the day, you will be able to get everything done numerous times. So if you have a little bit of excess cash and you want to go have an amazing day, Canada's Wonderland is definitely the place to go do it because regardless, as you can tell, it is busy. It is fairly busy. I think they are up to 50% capacity right now. I know that Wonderland is going to be upping it slowly to 75% over the next couple of weeks. That is just what we're hearing online or seeing in comments online. And yeah, trying to think if there's anything different. The indoor restaurants are not open yet. They could just be prepping to get ready to open, but we didn't see any signs of training or anything indoors. So they are not open. Wonderland is still hiring. So if you're looking for a job, definitely go check out Canada's Wonderland's website as they have many positions open at the park. And it's an outdoors job environment. And it's very summer campy from everyone that I know that works at Wonderland. As long as you go in with the right mindset, it's a very fun place to work. You can form lifelong friendships working at Wonderland. But yeah, trying to think if there's anything else. Again, the Coke freestyle machines are open. There's no social distancing on the rides. It was so weird. Cyclone was fully up. The shows are going on. So again, there's three different entertainment shows at the park right now. Actually, four of you include the one in Planet Snoopy. And it may be five. I don't know if the other one in Planet Snoopy is going on, but there is one at the Kazebo with Beagle's Brigade. And I don't know if there's another one in the little kids' show place there. I'm trying to think if there's anything else. Sledgehammer is not open. Riptide is not open. And again, the indoor restaurants are not open. The arcades are open. And I'm trying to think if there's honestly anything else. Q-Lines are socially distanced. But again, it's recommended to be socially distanced. They are unfortunately people don't follow the tape that Wonderland put down. Security does go from ride to ride and try their best to get people to follow the COVID guidelines. Obviously, you have a few Karens in line that throw a little fit. It's so awesome seeing like 50-year-old men throw a tantrum being told to just put a piece of cloth over your mouth. But won't get into that. But yeah, it's just so great. Can I honestly just say that the best part about Wonderland for me right now is these shows, when you go there, people have been not able to go to movie theaters. They haven't really been able to gather with friends for the most part. They haven't really been able to do anything. So when these cliff divers, the show you just saw are performing, everyone is cheering so loud and everyone's just so into it. It's got a whole different vibe compared to previous years with the same show. And it's just so awesome to see like the parents even interacting with their children and everyone just looks so mesmerized and everyone's like screaming really loud and just like so into it. It just, it was honestly, it just like really like just felt really good to be there almost like tears to my eyes to just, I don't know, it just felt like we just like survived like the end of the world and like everyone's just like so happy about it and enjoying life now. And it just feels really good. It's just like great energy and vibes at Wonderland. And again, if you go with the right mindset, you'll have a great day. So again, you have to go with the right mindset. But even that moment right there, I don't know if you just saw like that mom running by with her kids running to try and go like see the show. It's just like vibes, vibes. It's just like, this is amazing. It's honestly like Wonderland slogan that they've had for a couple of years. It's amazing in here really suits this year for me. Like it's just, it really sums up my emotions over Wonderland being open and with them not having to social distance on the rides anymore. I'll give you a lot of our common questions is how long are the lines? Well, I waited in Leviathan's line today at one of its busiest periods and it took me 30 minutes to get on the ride, maybe even 20 minutes, 20 to 30 minutes. A lot of rides are walk-ons. A lot of the dragonfire was a walk on all day today, even without Fastlane. Fastlane for Leviathan was essentially a walk on. I was with friends that had their Fastlane and they would go do rides while Beast was a walk on without Fastlane. There are many rides and attractions that are walk-ons. So super awesome, like again, you do not have to spend money to enjoy all the rides right now and the park is busy. The reservation system was almost fully booked today and it was still able to enjoy the park with hardly waiting. So you'd be able to do all the major roller coasters without Fastlane at this park right now as well. That's pretty much it. Again, the games are open for those that enjoy games. The arcade was open. I'm just trying to see if I'm missing anything. I'm trying to see. We get a lot of questions, so I'm just trying to review any of the questions that I might get asked. Again, if you guys have any questions that I didn't answer in this video or haven't answered in previous videos, comment them down below and I will do my best to answer them. Again, I do not represent Canada's Wonderland and I do not work for Canada's Wonderland. So anything I do say is my opinions or my predictions or just what I think is going to happen. Obviously things can change at Wonderland with the flip of a finger. So even if I say something's open or that Wonderland's going to do this, it could change very easily tomorrow by the day you go. But it was just really awesome. Everyone I talked to was having a great day. Everyone was super happy. No one had any complaints at all. And yeah, if you want to book Splashworks, it looks fully booked right now up until August 23rd. So I would definitely keep your eyes open for more reservations opening up. I did learn that your reservation, so for example, if you have a reservation today, it doesn't actually reset when you scan into the park. It resets at 12am that day. So you can actually book a reservation a little earlier if you are using up your two reservations or four reservations, including Splashworks. You can book it the day of even before you scan into the park. So just a little advice there. Again, biggest advice if going on a hot day, bring your own water bottle. They have water bottle refill stations or water refill stations. Get the drink plan if you can. It's like $35, $37 after tax and you get unlimited drinks every 15 minutes, all season long. They got all these great deals that go up until Labor Day 2022. So get all season fastling, get all season dining, all season drink plan. Get it all. It is a great deal. You'll never get this kind of a deal ever again from Cedar Fair or Canada's Wonderland. So this is a once in a lifetime deal. So take advantage of it right now. And do I have an update on Winterfest or how we hunt? I cannot confirm that those things are happening for sure, but I am very confident and comfortable to predict that those things will happen for sure on my end. And I wouldn't be surprised if we see some sort of extension of Winterfest. Instead of it just being Friday, Saturday, Sunday, I could see them doing what Cedar Point is doing Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday as Winterfest was one of the most successful launches at Canada's Wonderland compared to the other Cedar Parks. I do not see them extending Halloween Haunt just because Canada's Wonderland's Halloween Haunt is a little slower, especially to start. Obviously, they get fully booked up later on during Halloween Haunt. I don't see them adding a day. The only reason I could see them adding a day is if they were to have restrictions on attendance, maybe adding that Thursday, not the first week, maybe starting the second week adding that Thursday could help allow people to have more days to go. So that could be the case. I mean, who knows, Cedar Fair is a little unpredictable right now. They have a lot of debt they need to pay off over the next five to six years. And yeah, they're going to look for ways to pay it off after trying to survive this pandemic. And they could come up with unique ways. Again, I keep saying you'll hear it in another video coming sometime this week that Canada's Wonderland could really benefit from being open from January to spring with some sort of winter light festival or winter ice festival like Six Flags Dead. Obviously, Canadians prove that they're willing to come out cold, snow, rain, anything, especially this season. People are at the park while it's pouring and they don't leave like they used to. They hide, wait for the rain to stop, and then they go back out and enjoy the park. We are definitely seeing Canadians are desperate right now to do things and winter would be, this winter would be the time to try out being maybe open a little longer than normal without rides. Again, not saying Wonderland can open with rides in the winter, especially after January. But there's definitely possibilities that Cedar Fair could experiment with. That being said, Wonder Mountain's garden isn't open yet. Again, I already said it, Sledgehammer isn't open. The upcharge attractions like Slingshot, Extreme Skyflyer, Go Karts, they aren't open. Go Karts are definitely not opening. There's a new video coming out probably on Saturday night or Sunday morning about some construction markers that have popped up in the Go Karts and they remove the ticket booth. But yeah, that's pretty much it. Is there any rides that are still social distancing? Nope, not to my knowledge. And yes, again, just covering no new dining places have opened up. Again, the park is looking for staff and hiring. So again, go to candidateswonderland.com and go to the jobs section at the bottom of the page and definitely apply if you are looking for a job because they hire a lot of people. So you have a really good chance of getting a job. And I think that's pretty much it. Again, ask any questions down below. I probably missed something. And yeah, I hope you guys have an amazing weekend. Thanks again for supporting the channel. Your guys' support on all these new videos has been absolutely amazing. And just the suggestions for new content, definitely reading them and have it down on a list of content to film. So thank you so much for watching and listening. And again, have an amazing weekend. Definitely book a visit to Canada's Wonderland. It is safe. It is worth it. And it's only going to get better. Thanks so much, guys. Have a good one. Bye.
