 Alrighty, a lot of you have been in the comments section asking for this five year plan updated for Canada's Wonderland. We had the great opportunity to go to Canada's Wonderland's media day for Yukon Stryker and talk to a bunch of the park officials. And we got a lot of information from that. You learn a lot by just talking to your park officials if you happen to be in the park and you run by them, you know, asking them questions, you learn a lot and you don't have to ask them like, what's coming next? Cause they're not going to answer that. But so I guess in this video, I'm going to take what I learned at Canada's Wonderland's media day for Yukon Stryker and put it into a five year plan. What do I honestly think is coming to Canada's Wonderland? And again, this is my opinions and these are things that like I've learned. These aren't facts, nothing factual about them. So please just take it with a grain of salt as my opinions, but I definitely think this has a very likely possibility to somewhat come true. And I think a lot of you might see what I mean through the presentation. So we just had 2019 with the launch of Yukon Stryker, a very large addition to the park, very expensive. And I want to talk about that for a second. So we did learn and get confirmation. Again, this is 100% confirmed that Yukon Stryker was paid for and purchased in 2015. It was paid for in 2015. It was supposed to open in 2016 that was confirmed to us. And it was delayed for a multitude of reasons that I won't get into in this video, but that leaves a very large gap in Cedar Fair and Canada's Wonderland's investments in the park. So from 2015 until 2019, we have not paid for a roller coaster, a big expansion. And that is why you're seeing a lot of upgrades to the park. So with that money being saved on roller coaster expansions, you're seeing Frontier Canada launch. So we've got a massive new area. You're seeing medieval fair being renovated completely. So it's got all new paint, all new signs. You're seeing upgrades to even behemoth station. It was painted. You're seeing the Kingswood area being like upgraded. And you're gonna see a lot more upgrades coming as well. From what I understand, the park is gonna be just permanently being upgraded continuously. So you're gonna see things like Frontier Canada expanding again. You're gonna see the World Exposition expanding again. And the kids area is definitely gonna be a very big part of this expansion. This is something that we did get to talk to the officials at Wonderland about. So over the next two years, you're gonna see a very large focus on seven year olds and their mothers. So that's definitely gonna be the kids area expansion. It could also be Frontier Canada and Splashworks. So let's get into 2020. So in 2020, I definitely think you're gonna see dinosaurs alive renovated into Camp Snoopy. We don't have Camp Snoopy yet. And I definitely think that's gonna be it. Now there's two possibilities where this could go. They could either build a small expansion that's Camp Snoopy in that pink highlighted area where dinosaurs alive is, or they're gonna renovate in the Frontier Canada section and turn that into Camp Snoopy. Thus there's this transition between Frontier Canada and Camp Snoopy that makes sense instead of Kidsville, Frontier Canada. I would like to see the later of the two. I definitely think that Camp Snoopy and Frontier Canada being next to each other would look really nice. And you can fit a nice big restaurant in Action Theater's queue line plot of land. If you're not gonna use that for a roller coaster and it could be very similar to Carolin's is, I forget what the restaurant is called, but it's like that giant eatery right before you enter Camp Snoopy at Carolin's. I believe that would work really well at Canada Swindling. We're missing that. You know what, the giant stage, the giant eatery, the cafeteria, and like a giant seating area. Wonderland really needs something massive like that and we're lacking. So those are two areas that I could definitely see for 2020. Splashworks is also up there. So 2020 and 2021 are definitely gonna be kids expansions and water park expansions mixed into the two. Now with the water park expansion, this is where it gets really interesting. We don't have a lot of land to play with. So I've circled the two areas in blue. I think the smaller blue section next to behemoth is gonna house one water slide complex and the giant blue section is either gonna house a wave pool or water slides or a parking lot. Now this is where it gets really tricky. So Canada's Wonderland is one of the few Cedar Fair parks, big Cedar Fair parks that does not have separate parking and separate admission. Again, other parks you can enter and by separate admission, I mean enter in at a different area with a parking lot. It makes sense. We're running at a parking lot for even the main park as a whole. So adding a second parking lot in that big giant blue area where the forest is with that second entrance into the Splashworks itself and having people who are just attending Splashworks park there or someone that just wants to attend Splashworks for the day and not necessarily the dry park being able to go there and park there would make a lot of sense and save a lot of parking. I could definitely see that coming. Again, that is a little far-fetched. The parking lot idea is far-fetched and I think they do need that tree line space for an expansion for the water park. So I think you're more likely to see a second wave pool like we see at the other Cedar Fair parks with maybe some slide complexes in a restaurant or something. So those blue areas, again, 2020, 2021 it's gonna be a kids expansion and a water park expansion. If I had to put my money down on it and this is where things get really interesting. So Frontier Canada we know is gonna continuously expand. Now it's very difficult to fit that into what year that's gonna come because based off of the interviews we had with the park officials, every year they're gonna be upgrading Frontier Canada and World Expo. So I can't really pick a year. I can fit in additions to a year but I'm going to assume moving forward you're gonna see Frontier Canada and World Expo and Med Fair upgraded every year. You're even gonna see small upgrades come to Splashworks. We got that confirmation in 2018 with the addition of lumberjacking into you that Splashworks was gonna slowly be upgraded each year into more Canadian theming. So the brown area I circled highlighting Whitewater Canyon is definitely gonna be one of those areas that they're gonna upgrade into more Canadian theming. I don't think we're gonna see a coaster take up that plot of land, not just yet. I think in 2022, this is when we're gonna see a mock double launch. You know, a lot of you are probably looking at my map going, where is it gonna fit? Well, the big red circle over Temple Falls is where I think our mock double launch is gonna go. Caroline's removed their shoot the shoot for the mock double launch and I think we're gonna do exactly that. I think Whitewater Canyon is more popular and shoot the shoot at Wonderland Temple Falls is really ugly. It's an eyesore and a mock double launch themed to Frontier Canada would make much more sense. You can even extend my red area over the tree line next to Lumberjack and it would fit a much larger Copperhead strike. Again, Copperhead strike and I'm putting it up on here to show you guys can fit in this area very easily, especially if you extend that red line over the tree line next to Lumberjack. So that's definitely the area. I forgot to breathe during that whole sentence. I just have to take the deepest breath, but that is definitely an area that I think we need to watch out for for a 2022 roller coaster. Again, a lot of you are like, oh, you just got Yukon Straker. You have to remember this is an expansion park now. We're getting a hotel. We have not spent money on a roller coaster in four years. So by the time we get a coaster in 2022, that's like seven, eight years. For buying a roller coaster, it fits into the timeline. We were pushed back. That doesn't mean we're pushed back permanently. This is a park that they're investing a lot of money into and we cannot deny that. So now you guys are probably like, well, Bren and I see Speed City Raceway circled as well. So the orange circles are areas that are to watch out for. So I wanna bring up a fact. Speed City Raceway from what I've been able to tell has not been profitable for quite some time. It looks like it's a struggling attraction. Med Fair, they're upgrading into a medieval fare themed area. They're really putting an emphasis on theming. So that's why circled Drop Tower and Speed City. They do not fit in. I think you're gonna see a repaint of Drop Tower. Maybe even next season you might see the repaint just like we saw over at CGA. And you're gonna see it turn into, probably if I had to guess, the only thing they could really turn it into is some sort of castle tower, if that makes sense to you guys. I could definitely see that coming. And Speed City Raceway, I think it's just gonna go and be bulldozed for a bit until they choose what to do with that land. I don't think we're gonna see anything. Again, maybe a mock double launch could go over there too if they choose to upgrade Med Fair any more. But I think Med Fair is full of attractions and it doesn't need another roller coaster or flat ride. That thing is packed full of additions and attractions that I don't think we need to add anything. So I definitely think you need to keep it on Speed City Raceway so I can't see it lasting too much longer. And then Flight Deck and Time Warp, I definitely think don't fit in to the new World Expo. It's gonna need to be rethemed or shipped out and replaced by a wing coaster way down the road. So I think you're gonna see a mock double launch and then four to five years after that mock double launch you're gonna see a wing coaster added to Wonderland and maybe that'll finish off the expansion with a front gate wing coaster. But again, that's not gonna happen for some time. So don't keep an eye on it anytime soon. I don't think these coasters are leaving our park anytime soon. And Time Warp does oddly fit into the World Expo because I think it has a Mayan type theme if they really wanted to go down that route. But Flight Deck is definitely gonna need a retheme which brings me to the Yellow Circles. So the Yellow Circles, you see Wonder Mountains Guardian and you see the Backlot Cafe. Backlot Cafe, same story. It does not fit into World Expo. So they need to reno that. I think that's gonna be renoed next year to be honest. I was actually expecting a renovation of Backlot Cafe for this season. So I'm a little kind of weirded out that it isn't. I know that area is really ugly. I hate that restaurant on the interior. The air conditioning doesn't work. It's falling apart. The TVs in there don't work either. It needs a reno, it's gotta come. So I'm guessing for 2020, we're gonna see a reno of Backlot into some sort of World Expo theme. I really miss the old Asian theme that that building had. It was so gorgeous. Paramount came in and ruined that. And from what we heard in our interviews, Cedar Fair is looking to go back to the era before Paramount. And I would love to see that Asian theme return. Now, Wonder Mountains Guardian. So this is what's interesting. At the end of last season, you've heard me talk about this in other videos. That ride was not working. That ride had two trains running. The guns weren't working on either of those two trains. I think there were like maybe three guns working. And lo and behold, this ride has not opened for this season yet. I know it's only been a couple of days, but it has not been open for bank days. It has not been open for season pass holders day. And I'm gonna look for this weekend. If it's not open, something weird is going on and they're gonna have to renovate this ride. So again, yellow is renovate. It doesn't mean tear out. It doesn't mean thing, but this ride might have to close for a season and be upgraded or it might have to close for a while and be upgraded. And I would love to see that happen because this ride has a lot of potential and it's really good when it's working, but it has not worked for a while. So I would love to see this ride return to its glory. And I know it isn't like glory, but I would love to see, you know, some theming added in there, you know, instead of just seeing a wall and screens when you're in that mountain, I would love to see some theming from the screen to the floor to hide that little wall like they do at Knott's Berry Farm. And I would just love some working guns. Honestly, that would complete the ride for me. And I think that's exactly what it needs. So again, let's go over it in full because I think I've rambled on, but I'm trying to give you as much information that I learned at Media Day as possible in this video. So again, in 2020 and 2021, you're gonna see a kid's expansion and probably a water splash works expansion for seven-year-olds and their moms. Again, key words, seven-year-olds and their moms are younger. And in 2022, you're gonna see probably the mock double launch. It could go in Med Fair in Speed City's Raceway or it could go in Timbrel Falls. Those are the two areas I'm gonna work with. You're probably gonna see Whitewater Canyon expansion somewhere in the next three years, like we're seeing at Knott's Berry Farm to fit in with Frontier Canada. Again, at Media Day, I saw a lot of construction workers in there. They are renovating the ride slightly, not what we're seeing at Knott's Berry Farm because I didn't see too much, but there's definitely attention going on there. And then in 2023, I think you're gonna see kids in Waterpark again. And through these years, you're gonna see these smaller additions renovated throughout the park. Wonderland is gonna be under a huge renovation in terms of theming and stuff over the next five years. And then the final year, or the final year five, year six, you might see another coaster added. I don't think we're gonna get too many more flats because we already have enough. But that ahold, that is my five-year plan. I hope you guys enjoyed it. You've been asking for it for a while. And again, that is packed with a lot of juicy information. So I hope you enjoyed it. Don't forget to hit that like button, subscribe if you haven't, and share this video for others to enjoy. Thanks so much for watching, guys. Have a good one. Bye.
