 Alrighty, so while the construction team gets the crane set up today and there's no progress on the construction site worth filming, I decided to launch my Klondike Goldresher kind of video on why I think Vortex's new name will be Klondike Goldresher. So throughout the video I'm going to describe a little bit of the history of Canada's Wonderland and why Friends Here Canada is suddenly happening. And I'm using this information from a recent blog post by Canada's Wonderland on their website, so I'll link that down below for you guys to check out because it's got some really awesome pictures, one in which I used in this video to describe why I think Klondike Goldresher is going to end up being Vortex's name and how it ties into Frontier Canada. So for those of you that know Canada's Wonderland and know the direction they're heading, Frontier Canada is coming to Canada's Wonderland part of a huge expansion with Yukon Striker. Frontier Canada is like a multi-year kind of expansion and it all started way back in 2012. That's when planning for Frontier Canada actually started, planning for the new coaster started in 2014. So Frontier Canada came to light with this whole concept of bringing Taft Broadcasting's vision for the park back to light. So in 1981 the park was planned to open with five themed areas. That would be International Street, Medieval Fair, Grand World, Expo 1890, the happy land of Hanna-Barbera land, and Frontier Canada. Frontier Canada ended up not happening. It was supposed to be in the area of Mainbuster and that was later scrapped and it didn't end up opening with the park. So Wonderland or Cedar Fair has decided to launch Frontier Canada now to celebrate Canada's like heritage and bring that whole area to light. Now there's a lot of pictures that Canada's Wonderland has chosen to include in the blog and I find the ones they chose to include very interesting. Now some of them, a lot of them are signs and some of them like hint at kind of like shops that could be coming to Frontier Canada. Some even hint at merchandise shops like so for example we have the Great Northern Ice Cream Company, we have Fowlers Bay Login Show and Jamboree. Now these are concepts from the original but I do know from talking with park representatives and just some small interviews and the behind the scenes construction tours that they're trying to bring Frontier Canada back to life. So the original vision. So that's what's interesting. So a lot of this is stuff you would want to take into consideration. Now there's one specific sign that really got to me and it was Klondike Goldrusher. To me that sounds like, you know, a ride name and we know that they just recently themed Vortex to kind of like a mining company or a mine cart. So I think Klondike Goldrusher would work really well. Now all they would have to do is simply maybe repaint the track and supports. Again I don't necessarily think they even have to do that. The red paint on the track is still in pretty good health compared to other rides like Behemoth, no shade. So keeping it the way it is isn't necessarily a bad thing. In fact even the station could work with some sort of Canadian theming. It goes up the mountain and then heads back down. So something along those lines. Some of the attractions that were originally proposed included a Chilku tramway and slide, a steamboat ride, the search for John Franklin, an Arctic experience and hands-on gold panning experience among others. Now I could see the gold panning experience like they have at Cedar Point coming to Canada's Wonderland for 2019 and it's just interesting what they could be bringing forward into Frontier Canada. It's kind of interesting because we don't know a lot when they announced Yukon Striker. They left out a lot of details about Frontier Canada. So we don't know what's coming in terms of theming and the area. We're told that there's a lot of small surprises that could be coming with Yukon Striker and the theming. I do know that the station will be themed to the Gold Rush era of Yukon. So expect some sort of mining company station and loading area. And we know from the recent blog post too that was released yesterday that there's going to be some buildings and theming as well. So whatever happens between Timberwolf Falls or even Soaring Timbers and Mindbuster is going to be pretty extensive. We know that they've been theming the area pretty in-depth since Soaring Timbers and Yukon Striker is supposed to be that kind of like push. It's not even a final push from what I've gathered from interviews. This is like almost like the midsection of Frontier Canada Yukon Striker which is super interesting. And again I'll be making a video on Mindbuster and what that could have in store for Frontier Canada as well in the future. But for now let's keep it to Vortex. So Vortex we know was rethemed. So it's a mine cart and that's all we know now. So Vortex and the mine cart skin they don't fit. So we know and from confirmation from Roller Coasters A that Vortex's name is going to change. That is guaranteed. They even offered or invited and I think it was in a joking way. I don't think they're actually looking for input. For input on the new name for Vortex. And this sign to the right so the Klondike Goldrusher with the the miner hanging from a rope is a sign that I saw that Canada's Wonderland used in the blog post and I think that's super interesting. A because he's hanging from a rope and he's climbing down a mountain into a mine and the whole Klondike Goldrusher. So to be honest there isn't much to go off of in terms of what the new name for Vortex could be and this is just a prediction and speculation video. But I do strongly believe Klondike Goldrusher could be a very well used name for the new theme and new name for Vortex. Vortex is now what looks like a mining adventure that's going to kind of incorporate itself with Yukon Stryker and Yukon Stryker is supposed to be an eagle in dive position so thus the dive into the tunnel. Again the name Yukon Stryker and then the choice of theming of a mining company doesn't necessarily make total sense to me but I do like the name. So again the name definitely Gromy Yukon Stryker but it doesn't fully blend in and I think this new name and theme for Vortex will help blend that in. So Yukon Stryker will be the eagle that's just like soaring through Frontier Canada and you have your Klondike Goldrusher which will also be a main attraction and then Mindbuster will come in and finish off the storyline in 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024 whatever it ends up being but I definitely think Mindbuster has a huge play for Frontier Canada and it'll finish it off. Again Mindbuster was a big part of that. So Klondike Goldrusher is definitely something that is unique and a lot of people don't like the word Klondike involved in a roller coaster name just from when I've talked to people about the whole when we thought that Yukon Stryker might be called Klondike Goldrusher or Klondike Goldrush a lot of people are like what do you want a Klondike ice cream bar or something but I definitely think the name fits they can have you know the gold panning attraction that we discussed earlier that was originally planned out front of that so you can kind of pan for gold there's a little area under vortexes kind of like turn into the station that they could turn into like a little panning for gold little shop area that would be really cool and I also like the logo the original logo back from the original plans of Frontier Canada I think it would work great for a Klondike Goldrusher if it ends up being that. So I definitely want to hear from you guys what do you think about Klondike Goldrusher do you like the name do you think it's going to be something else and do you think the theme would fit so you have you know the miner climbing down a rope climbing down a mountain or climbing up a mountain whatever he's doing on the sign and do you think that they're going to bring him back a lot of these original attractions from Frontier Canada so I'm going to read a little bit of the blog post here for you guys but skip ahead to more recent years under Cedar firs ownership and you can see Canada's wonderland has been busy getting back to its roots Canadian themed attractions have been added such as lumberjack flying canoes soaring timbers muskoca plunge and even the kitty area in splash works lake side lagoon Frontier Canada will now be home to many of these attractions plus classic mighty canadian mind buster white water canyon timbrel falls vortex and the brand new Yukon striker dive coaster as to what else is in store for Frontier Canada well everyone will just have to wait and see canada's wonderland staff are excited to finally bring bring life to Frontier Canada after its conception so long ago it's created a sense of renewed pride in what we do to infuse a bit of our canadian identity and history into our amusement park so this is all extremely interesting because they're keeping a lot of this secret a lot of this a secret even from interviews we've had they're still in a planning phase for Frontier Canada and Frontier Canada isn't done at Yukon striker and that's what's interesting so what do you guys think what do you think about Kondak gold rusher do you think that it could end up being the name for vortex what else do you think is coming to Frontier Canada and what do you expect to see in Frontier Canada in 2019 do you expect to see any of these original concepts at all comment down below what you guys think give the video like subscribe you haven't and share this video for others to enjoy thanks for watching guys have a good one bye
