 Yesterday, there was sun Darkly shimmer on our skin I've asked for help from Erin, who's an amazing person we met last season at Canada's Wonderland and honestly, he has some awesome content that he's working on and I'm just working on getting myself back into doing both and now it looks like I have no choice but to do both but there's so much to unpack in today's update, by the way so much that I have to shut up right now and get right to it before it gets off the screen so as you can see on the screen right there, they are tarping up behemoth and backlit stunt coasters trains were wrapped in blue tarp typically, Canada's Wonderland removes its trains, deconstructs them completely rebuilds them and that takes all of wintertime and most of spring until the park's ready to open for them to get them back onto the track and ready to go that is what we're used to as coaster enthusiasts but with them doing that at the beginning of this spring and the park not opening, the trains don't need to be disassembled and put back together they've already been done so they can actually just leave the trains on the track all of winter and the park is ready to open come April or earlier depending on what's going to happen and by the way, that wasn't me suggesting the park's going to open their rides this year that sound like that at first and I'm like oh god I better correct that before people jump down my throat the good news is that saves them a lot of time and money other good news is winterfest items are disappearing and being placed in the park so there were winterfest sets being stored in here, one of my favorites, holly jolly trolley it is now stored inside the park where it normally sits and front gate appears to have winterfest decorations on the light posts it is hard to make out when you are this far away but nonetheless, these are really good signs it doesn't make sense as to why Wonderland wouldn't be allowed to open for winterfest whether it be a drive-thru event or a walk-thru event with no live actors and no live singers and just lights if they really wanted to, that is something that I can see them totally pulling off as they have the same capacity that Agora or the Toronto Zoo Light Festival has and it literally would make zero sense and they should be able to open and based off of what even the government said as long as these theme parks and water parks present an alternative event or whatever, it will be under review and I definitely see them being able to open for winterfest it's whether they want to do it because LaVon and York Region currently is in lockdown for another 28 days which bring us to mid-November, which is when winterfest started so again, I wouldn't put it past them to actually go down the winterfest route it wouldn't be a traditional winterfest I don't even think maybe you would be able to order food and if you could, it would be like walk-up food none of the traditional foods that were awesome last year so, wow, again, so much time packed so the roller coasters are all being stored on the tracks and not being disassembled, saves a lot of time next year a winterfest stuff is being set up we can confirm that does that mean winterfest is for sure going to happen? no, obviously we saw that we honestly thought the park was going to open we were being told certain things by certain people and even the park was hopeful that the park was going to open and then things happened and so forth so obviously we know now not to jump on the bandwagon of if you see the roller coasters running or if you see this to immediately assume the park's going to open and even if employees are being told that the park's going to open and they're being trained, the park may not open these are difficult times and it's very uncertain there's a lot of uncertainty around what's allowed to open and what isn't allowed to open, and yeah so, again, it looks really good winterfest is definitely being set up there are signs pointing to it but anything can happen for all we know, you know, the second wave is starting everything can be shut down into stage one so there's so much that could happen so, again, this doesn't mean winterfest is going to happen but this is a good sign so maybe do your part, educate your friends wear your masks, social distance help keep those numbers low if you really want any form of wonderland opening this year at all do your part and help out educate your dumb friends that are anti-maskers marching downtown yeah, nonetheless by the way I was filming for this is where it gets funny I was filming for about 15 minutes before I realized something normally when a little birdie comes into my DMs or my ears and tells me to go fly or do this you know, I know right away to go fly it usually leads to something I assumed it was the winterfest and I assumed it was the trains I had my story, I had my content that I was going to present to you guys because I thought that was juicy enough I was honestly like, oh that's so cool I never even thought about the fact that they don't have to deassemble the trains I was like, that's awesome, I'm definitely going to show everyone that that's a really cool video I really want to go film that and show them that and of course I'm a huge fan of winterfest so I was like, obviously, you know, I want to go film that and talk about that and then here I go I start turning towards minebuster and I start realizing that there's a lot of trucks working on in the station there's maintenance in the maintenance bay with some steel beams what looks like steel ledgers there's a pile of small ledgers right next to the lift hill of minebuster and there's a very large ledger which doesn't look like it would fit anywhere at all just piled along the route kind of next to typhoon there and then right there an area that has already been retract mysteriously being what looks like retract as well normally, and by the way, I have footage of last year springtime wonderland does the retracting in spring for both wild beast and minebuster they do it in the spring, it's very quick, it's an easy job they also don't normally need a crane typically it's just a couple of dudes working on the track, replacing the section what is going on here is most likely showing signs to be like almost like a ghost rider treatment again, too early to tell it could be anything but the ledgers are still attached to the track which is a sign that again, it's too early to tell but there's definitely some exciting signs going on on minebuster again man, I just had to stop for a second because the fall colors at this park are absolutely stunning just even that trees in the middle of minebuster I was just like, wow, that's really pretty but nonetheless, it's definitely like signs to either a ghost rider treatment, maybe they're going to retract the whole thing they have a lot of time now they have fall until spring next year to retract this ride so they could be doing that, we know the helix was done entirely within the last, I don't even know I don't remember the years, I don't remember the time, I'm too old for this now but it was done but the drop out of the turnaround and it looks like they're going to keep going even further because as it was filming again I filmed this for about 10 minutes, there was still a lot of action there were trucks hauling away lumber and track pieces towards front gate that I caught on the drone and yeah, definitely a crane this isn't typical for them, again wonderland does normally but again, I had to stop myself again because I'm saying things as if it's a typical year but wonderland's normally not shut down for an entire year so we don't know nonetheless, I did have a theory that minebuster this was going to be its last season anyone in my team knows that I had and this has no factual evidence behind it whatsoever and I do want to clarify that I want to be straightforward this is merely just what I think minebuster sits in the way of a very big water park expansion, is one route the park could go down or returning back to the history of what Frontier Canada was supposed to be and minebuster was supposed to be the star attraction of Frontier Canada maybe it's a modification or a refurbishment to make it the star attraction whether that's GCI, RMC or just an overall retracking again, Canadian enthusiasts or Canadian GP are super easy to please they don't need to build the biggest, tallest fattest, fattest fastest or baddest attraction out there to be awesome so again wonderland does face a lot easier projects in terms of impressing the GP so it could just be a complete ghost rider style refurbishment where they just replace all the wood and the ride becomes super smooth, could just even be that section but again this isn't normally how they do refurbishments of a small section of a wooden coaster this is unique to see and there's electrical work going on in the station as well so I mean it's definitely too early to tell but you know me I'll have my drone out with my zoom getting in these awesome close shots for you figuring out what's going on and seeing what's gonna happen again super early too hard to tell but we'll keep an eye out for you guys so stay tuned for more videos on Mind Buster and what's happening and Winterfest obviously as well again we won't be jumping on the bandwagon of Winterfest is gonna happen for sure like we were with the park opening we learned from our mistakes and we'll just be presenting what we're seeing and again taking informing you guys to take what we say with a grain of salt thanks so much for watching guys
