 Righty, it's officially that time of year where I make my final and official prediction for 2024 and let me tell you Despite having half of the puzzle complete with blueprints and all I am pretty Lost still and this is the first year ever where I am not confident in the rides The dry park of things that will be getting in 2024. No, I will say when it comes to splash works I'm very confident. So in 2024 to start it off with what I know We will be seeing a investments going into splash works for those of you that know our splash works water park is so under invested in and it is so What's the polite way of saying it is just ugly? It really is just ugly It is just not up to date with Cedar fair standards in water parks And I think this is the year you're gonna fully see them invest in the water park and bring it up to standard In fact, I think they've already been showing it so with the new water pump house and the back of the mountain Bay cliff jumping experience Cedar fair has actually gone in and Re-themed the backs of those and the the entire water pump house itself that burned down to be frontier Canada theming So that was pretty interesting. I think we're gonna see that theme continue with a large-scale water slide and Reinvestment in some of the buildings and infrastructure and even a bar and a Playhouse if that's what you call them. I'm not sure you call those little water pump playhouses But I fully see them a re-building the one that is right by the wave pool With that being said, I definitely think we could see even two water slides I do know that they were looking at redoing some of the water slides in the water park I'm not sure they've moved forward with a lot of those. I'm hearing in the industry That one specific project that would have been really cool actually isn't moving forward to next year So that's a shame. I can't discuss too much on that, but I will say the industry as a whole They are moving forward with a new Kind of technology to limit the amount of lifeguards that water parks need which actually makes sense So we'll see what that translates into the water park industry itself But let's move on into my predictions for the dry park I think that Wonderland is going to be slowly transitioning frontier Canada From 2024 into 2025 and we're gonna see that with the rapids ride. This is just a prediction I haven't actually not heard any concrete information. So this is just a wild prediction But I think it's a pretty safe one. So for those of you that saw the survey You saw that, you know, the GCI family wooden coaster that they were teasing and in front of it It had a whole themed area and a lot of us were speculating that this new themed area was around the whitewater canyon area So I could totally see in 2024 Wonderland doing half of what you saw in that wooden coaster blueprint or survey picture and doing a water whitewater canyon lesser than what you see on the screen right now for Calico River Rapids and Introducing our kind of like Forbidden frontier experience With a whitewater rapids upgrade. So I definitely think that's a plausible Outcome and it kind of leads them into whatever they choose to build in the whitewater canyon coaster wise again Those surveys could have changed things I know a lot more about how Wonderland bids on Attractions now and when I say Wonderland, this is everything park But very specifically I know how Wonderland bids on attractions now, and it's a lot more interesting than you think I'm gonna use an example and this is not a concrete example because I don't want to get anyone in trouble But let's say Wonderland was looking at a specific plot of land Actually, I'll use the current one so the mountain area you see a lot of those survey markings pop up What Wonderland does is they'll have a survey company come in and They'll survey an area and they'll create a boundary and survey specific objects and points of interest and electrical and all that And then what Wonderland's gonna do is they're gonna Have some sort of concept in mind So as you know Wonderland seems to want some sort of launch coaster that launches into the mountain out of it and back Around what they'll then do is go to manufacturers like Bolliger and Mabelard Intamin Vakoma any of the ones that they are interested and they're not gonna go to everyone, but they're gonna go to a bunch of people They're not just gonna go to Bolliger and Mabelard I can confirm that and they're gonna ask them to come up with a concept within a certain budget And then they'll receive a bunch of concepts. So again with this wooden coaster in Whitewater Canyon There are probably other concepts from other manufacturers and if the surveys didn't do so hot They might actually move forward with a different concept. So don't be so sold on the family GCI So it'll truly be a surprise on what Wonderland chooses. I can't see The wooden coaster doing super well in those surveys I think Wonderland expects people to be truly honest at what they're seeing before them And I think that the way they described the wooden coaster Even though we all know that a GCI even if it is a family GCI is gonna be pretty awesome in itself I think a lot of guests might actually have voted it down But again, if they still have family in mind Wonderland may also know that would have happened and they might choose that regardless But just to put a little food for thought there are other options for that plot a land as well outside of that family GCI so just keep that in mind and On top of that. I definitely as you saw at the beginning of this video I think that a dark ride isn't out of the equation either for those of you that have been around this channel for a while I am not giving up hope on our beloved action theater and Wonderland Wanting to turn that into a winter fest Approved attraction with a dark ride and to obviously escape the heat and you know The climate is becoming warmer. It's becoming more rainy as you saw this year So indoor attractions never heard a company like an outdoor amusement park So I definitely see action theater being developed in Frontier Canada as well into some sort of mining elevator type-esque Dark ride I could totally see a pre-show where you're going down similar to treasure hunt That just opened in California going down an elevator shaft as a pre-show like a and then you board a Sally dark ride Or an Intamin dark ride one of those theater dark rides as well But I don't see them moving down the flying theater Aspect as the park has confirmed they don't like to build the attractions that exist elsewhere in Canada And unfortunately the flying theater has been picked up by a Toronto Company, so definitely don't see Wonderland moving down that route. But yeah, those are my Official predictions. Obviously we can probably see maybe a Zemperla Kids ride added near Snoopy's Racing Railway or even a Zemperla Flat ride package near Frontier Canada as well I'm sure a lot of you guys have questions about World Expo again that area is still about three years out So the most we'll see in the next like one to three years is ride removals So definitely keep an eye out for those. I am sticking to time warp is on the way out It may not be at the end of this season, but I definitely think it's on the way out as of next season the latest But yeah, awesome. Thanks so much for watching today's video guys And comment down below you guys think we're gonna be getting in 2024 because as I said, I only know the water park side of things I do also want to whoa I do want to touch on one more thing the park is surveying the entire park as a whole Which does also make this really difficult But I also think that shows a really good sign that you could see parts of the park receive upgrades so theming upgrades Restaurant upgrades building upgrades and all that kind of restoring the park to an actual theme park So definitely stay excited guys comment down below what you think's coming in 2024 and thanks so much for watching Have a good one. Bye
