 Alrighty, so I have a construction update for you guys today, or I guess a pre-construction update for you guys on Elpin Which is a really interesting topic of discussion It was actually a part of the seven-part series that I'm working on so I might as well just all do it together But in yesterday's video it was brought to my attention that I threw this up on the screen and did not even describe to you guys What I was doing with these measurements So this is a this is a document that I didn't make This is a document that is Something that Wonderland and every company in Canada has to do when they're surveying So these are surveying points and basically I drew up measurements for launches that would go from where I think the station would be located and It would either launch out of the left side or the right side and depending on which there are the lengths Based off of these lengths and knowing that Thunderbirds is about 60 meters in length for the launch Launching out of the right side of that thing at 118 meters seems about right. It would be taller than Thunderbirds So it would need a lot more Length to launch and it would also I would assume hopefully fingers crossed have a pre-show Building before the launch so that as well So this is kind of what I just drew up those are the meanings behind those two lines with the measurements on them So I just wanted to explain those in detail. I can't believe I forgot to say that in the video Sometimes it gets so excited. I just like kind of rant and ramble and forget about the main point of the video Well, some new survey markings the 800. So now we are looking for 800s in Wonderland I've noticed that all the codes are numbered and matched. So 800s is a specific project So these survey markings I've come to the conclusion are for the themed area Alpen So it looks like and this is just an assumption by me at the current moment But I have heard rumblings a few things which I'll discuss in this video as well That Alpen is going to get a refresh and kind of be brought back to life at Canada's Wonderland right now It is half of what it used to be and it is almost in decay It doesn't necessarily make sense and it kind of is sloppy. So I'm pretty excited that this has the possibility to be something that is going to happen and Even furthermore some of the rumors that I've heard is grab-and-go might be on its way out over the next couple years To make room for a little something and that they're gonna redo the thunder run station and actually put in an elevator And remove the exit ramp Now that is an assumption or a rumor. So please take that with a grain of salt But I have heard rumblings and you've heard me tease a little bit that Thunder Run Station was gonna get some rework And that makes sense Especially if you're gonna be launching a wing coaster or some sort of heavy B&M into the mountain You're gonna have to rework some of that structure and maybe some of the current structure That's in there doesn't align with the newest project. So that could be a part of it as well So I'm really excited to see what's going to happen But with the ruins themed coaster and the ruins themed section and Alpen getting a huge kind of like Refresh, it's really exciting to see Canada's Wonderland so concentrated on enhancing the theming around the park So I'm really excited to see what this is all gonna lead to Not quite sure of the year So I was starting to think that Thunder Run was gonna maybe get just a refresh for the 2024 season And that made me think that okay, they can easily slap on some theming and rework the station It's not that hard of a job But now that I see these survey markings popping up so late and that it looks to be a whole area refresh I'm not so confident that this is gonna be a 2024 Project so I mean it still could be because at the end of the day it's very easy to just kind of go in there and demolition the the station and kind of redo a new one but Also on top of that if you're kind of gonna add some other rides like where the bumper cars are located like you saw there They surveyed that building And maybe bring back some classics then it's gonna require a lot more work and that would have been announced So I definitely am thinking that this could potentially be for the 2026 season So we'll have to wait and see and it also could be done in phases as well I mean look at Frontier Canada They build one ride and then they kind of build another the other year So we could see that as well One of the main topics of discussion that you're gonna see continuously discussed especially on the podcast and in Videos especially the seven part series is Canada's Wonderland seems to be going back to basics in terms of their original history So we're seeing that in a lot of these original artists renderings with Thunder Run station that could potentially be coming to life Frontier Canada coming to life and the World Expo Potentially coming back to life as well So Alpin Frontier Canada and World Expo all coming back to life is a really cool thing to be happening And I'm kind of excited to see what Cedar Fair has in stock for Canada's Wonderland because it's just a lot of attention to detail now So I'm really excited. Hopefully you guys are excited and definitely be keeping your eyes on the Alpin area of the park So we have so many areas we got to be watching now. You got to be watching Kingswood The ruins area. I'm gonna just refer to it as the ruins area from now on so international show place Frontier Canada even down the road and the International Street and front gate and Yeah, it's just a lot of projects. So this is really exciting I know that you know Wonderland gets a lot of slack for being kind of like, you know One of the bigger parks in the Cedar Fair chain, but not a lot to love So it's really exciting to see the transformation of a kind of like regional park to a destination park And I mean it's a lot of work up ahead But it's gonna it's gonna pay off and I'm really excited to see what they do with our park Anyways, thanks so much for watching guys. Have a good one. Bye
