 Okay, we're rolling yeah, I know I've been nerd of me is like I'm talking about moving on to the bigger more real seeking posters Are you about to touch on 2025? I'm kidding, I'm kidding The year's not even confirmed guys, that's just SHIT So, Grace, I have a question for you because can you strip your chain? A lot of others here at Park Park are going to be connecting to Shackle policy You know, people with sort of age who to be escorted around the park Is there anything you can speak of? I guess it's Scotia Bank Day, but we're here with Grace Peacock, the celebrity of Canada's Wonderland I'm not cool with the terms of Wonderland, I know you guys sort that around You know, I'm just, I'm just Grace, I'm just Grace, yeah Okay, so Grace Peacock of Canada's Wonderland, what is some of the things you do? I know a lot of you already know this, but I have to introduce exactly what you do for Canada's Wonderland, just in case there's new people Yeah, that's good, so I'm the director of communications here at the park and that means a whole bunch of things, like I am and this folks person who parks all in all media interviews I take care of our charity programs I also do big social media or influence program mobile apps, so we have lots of channels Essentially, I'm telling the story of the park and sharing it with the world in a variety of ways She's also responsible for idiots like us I'm gonna try Alright, well we're standing here for a specific reason here at Lazy Bear Lodge We go into a few of the new things coming for the country Every season, here at Lazy Bear Lodge At the restaurant specifically I guess the restaurant and maybe it's surrounding area Oh, that's okay, yes So as you know, Lazy Bear Lodge opened up in the latter half of last year So it's still really new, we still have a lot of awareness to do with the restaurant and just letting everybody know that it's here and it's got these amazing cool new menus But this year, one of the new things we're bringing in is VIP experiences for our fireworks sites So the details have yet to be released but essentially you're going to be able to purchase a VIP package that's going to include some food and some really premium viewing spots here, over there, upstairs to see the fireworks that you take off right over there behind you It's going to be a great option for people Lazy Bear Lodge is on the vortex hill where everybody is just sitting on the grass So I know some people are mourning the loss of that but these new VIP packages are going to be really great and they're going to be the best seats in the house to see the fireworks I know he is excited, he wants to buy the package I was talking to a friend about it and I want to get that You've had experience of these ones, right? Yeah, I want to sit right in front of them and then they sit in front of them and do everything sitting there with the fire and just eating and watching the fireworks It's a stroke of duty Congratulations on that So we have obviously noticed some significant improvements I would call them in the food I came to this weekend It's more specifically I've seen a snack plan evolving at this point I was wondering if you could provide any further details on if Wonderland is going to start introducing a snack plan of the season past if you're able to, if you're not but also maybe touch a little bit on some of the new food options Sure, yes, I can't speak to a snack plan product per se at this point but it's true, there's more snack things You're probably referencing New Carrot Root Crossing So that is, that used to be the scope of burger and beer bar I've been touched here Canada and now there's a whole array of fried goods fried zucchini sticks fried pickles If you're not looking for a full meal it's going to be a great option It has to share food is always a long-term plan and it's always been in the works to elevate the food experience here at the launch, there are a few festivals to have in the summer You know, the park is not just a little set of hot dogs Yes, it's been a couple of days but you know, there's a lot of other dessert options here too, right? And it always comes back to the guest experience and adding to value for those people with bike tickets or bikes as the classes are coming So, yes, we have new menu items across the park at various different places We're going to look at some things like, we're going to have chicken and kinds of fries which seems like a little thing but it makes a big difference If you're in a podcast last night everyone's flipping their lid over the waffle fries Oh, the waffle fries, yes There is one other kind of fry too that I want to let you guys know but um You can't do that to me I'm really excited Yeah, so our food festival is coming soon So, I taste the Caribbean and taste the Portugal overturning It should be fantastic I love grilled gluts and you know, cherry sauce There's a whole bunch of other dishes I can't pronounce so I'm not quite sure in the culture today but those are always fun and students can tie in like sausages and crores, greets It's a lot of fun Lumberland does a really good job so I'm super excited Me too So Grace, I have a question for you because it's written for a chain A lot of oversea products are going to be in the chaperone policy You know, people with certain age groups who have sorted around the car Is there anything you can speak of to what people are going to do? Yeah, I don't have anything I can share specific to the chaperone policy but it is always of course to protect the answers to know which picture of Flora had but that our guests are safe I'm regularly saying that safety is our first priority Beyond that people can enjoy their guests and families to live here too So, that is going to be not going to be a success but part of the season in the chaperone policy I don't know but that's not a difference It's perfect You didn't Yeah Alright, so for those of you who have watched yesterday's video or two days ago's video I don't know if this is getting posted There was a huge emphasis and improvement around the car on what I call beautification I also called it a small rena of Canada's Lumberland There's a lot of incidents in Canada that are quite disturbing So, I was just wondering what's happening It really shows people really good in the parking lot Yeah, I know that in recent weeks every department working on infrastructure is a long-term thing as well We're putting a two-year-old car Yeah A two-year-old car So, a lot of original infrastructure is still here A lot of original rides are still here and everything needs TLC in their long-going basis So, I'm glad that you haven't noticed things in the changes like painting, or literacy Yeah, like Inter-Astral Street even the painting on rides it's a lot even there's a lot of pride enhancements only an enthusiast would notice Yeah, I'm glad I've never seen people work so hard as I have here at the summer in any previous job I've had it's just like they're so driven by the dedication to guests and it's just such a positive energy for the people People are working long hours People here are all over the place for weekends trying to get ready and do those little things that overall make a big difference maybe not a little thing because you're here all this time but I think if it's in people's approval you just feel better about your part In all those parts I guess it's just making people so proud of being guests here us getting proud of having a big part with great rides and yeah, it's long-going and we're just going to continue People definitely do know this like we're saying you're here whenever you want we're here we're here Yeah, you can just a further standoff that like we went across the US on a little road trip and this park is the most ready out of any park you visited I visited my far my first season I know everybody's just working their butts off you know in all kinds of weather as well I can't say how much respect I have I sit in my office everybody else is out in the park and it's officer training and maintenance and painting and fixing things up it's a lot of work but they care about what they do they care about the guests It shows We're obviously here to cover UConn Striker Nothing more, nothing less Nothing to see Nothing to see Alright Grace Obviously we've got a big new structure Yes So it's under twister everybody knows it's like new ride It's actually two meters shorter than Wonder Mountain just two meters Up that high The one that was as high as Wonder Mountain They're obviously not ready for opening yet Is there any timeline as to when these two new rides will happen on the other one? Still currently working towards opening That's true May 5th is our target I will say keep an eye on our social media because we are going to let people know when we're in other things when we're shifting We have been messaging May 5th already on our social media accounts but we're probably going to be sending a note to Seasons Classholders to remind them that we're not going to be ready for the Seasons Classroom preview We're past holders so you can come back anytime and we're ready to go It's the only time I'm ever mad at UConn Striker right now I've never mad at UConn That's beautiful I love this design right here So We checked it out It is stunning I think it's going to be the park's most beautiful attraction I know that might be a little controversial but it seems to be the perfect fit for that area Do you have any information on Seasons Racing Railway that maybe we don't know? I don't know if I have anything you don't know I know that we're all very excited for it You know It's our first coaster experience Mine was I don't know what you guys I think you just went jump right up the level My dad was horrible Those are special for the newest generation for the first coaster experience which is so cool because I know we're always talking about big thrill rides what's new because you're coming we can't forget about our lowest gas because overall we want to try many ways So we were just informed by Grace Peacock that there might be a, well there is a 4pm onward ticket option Yes, those are up on our website now, this is brand new for this year It's kind of a ticket if people are just looking to come experience the park at night the night experience of the park is very different riding the rides at night is so cool seeing the skyline of the city around and all the night lights it's a lot of fun and this way people can come if they don't want to commit to a full day or don't want to have to pay the full price they're just coming for a few hours we now have that ticket available That's awesome We also just got a little, we missed it yesterday but there's a new restaurant replacing La Cartina Yes, so the kitchen is the name of the new restaurant there, it's great theme so there's some soggy dishes there's going to be a pussaka dish as well which I've never tried, really really intrigued by that you've had it before, right? Really good, yeah Alright, now this is something that I think a lot of people find really exciting there's some new Halloween on investments, we haven't seen that in quite some time obviously because of things that happen globally Do you have any information on these new Halloween haunt mazes or additions? So I don't have a lot that I can share although there are four new ones and one of them is called Dark Ride and you guys are familiar with the attraction and I guess that's what we're wondering Pretty much it, we're looking to expand some of the immersive areas and scare zones and create those four mazes to keep the place fresh Day of the Dead is returning as well Do you guys like that much here? I like this painting in the area I love that The little food, the patio area and the free We're already talking about it because you know get those gold passes or platinum passes and you get all of it Alright, well that seems to be everything new, I feel like we're going to forget something but that's okay That's it for the 2023 season I guess moving on to 2024 I'm out
