 Alrighty, and welcome to my channel Amusement Insiders. Today we're going to be time travelling because what better thing to do than reminisce in the past during these horrible times right now in 2020. Some of these attractions that I'm going to display on the screen and discuss quickly are some that you may remember depending on your age, or for some of you, you may not have known existed at all at Canada's Wonderland. I want to hear from you guys down below on attractions and things you miss most that no longer exist at Canada's Wonderland. Be sure to follow us on TikTok, Amusement Insiders' plural, or hit subscribe for more amazing Canadian content. Starting off our list is Barron's Curve, which operated from 1981 to 2000. It was a 16 car ride, which essentially operated in a circular layout themed to the Swiss Alps or Bobsleds. It had a giant horn as the centerpiece, and the horn would blast as the ride reached its maximum speeds. This ride was removed in 2000 to make room for Shockwave, which replaced Clockworks in Clockworks's old location. For those of you that remember, Clockworks used to be where Shockwave currently is, and Shockwave, when it came in replaced Clockworks and they removed Clockworks over to where Barron's Curve used to be. So definitely an interesting decision and move of attractions. It's very difficult for me because I love Clockworks, but I also love Barron's Curve, so I'm wondering which one I would have preferred to have, but nonetheless we lost Barron's Curve and kept Clockworks. I personally remember this attraction and have very personal fond memories of my dad and I loving this ride. It felt extremely fast, and the added horn blast when you reached the maximum speeds added to that excitement. It also fit the mountain area really well with its somewhat mountain theme. The ride is said to have been shipped to King's Dominion and sits in the storage lot over at the park. Did you get a chance to ride this iconic defunct attraction? Speaking of older attractions, let's reintroduce ourselves to Zuma Flume, an old log flume located in the now flight declocation. It was a beautifully themed log flume located in the international section of the park. I unfortunately never recall this attraction. Did any of you watching this video currently ever get a chance to ride this old iconic attraction? If so, comment your memories down below. I am really looking forward to reading some of them. I personally think Paramount ruined this section of the park and the well-themed sections along with it. Both this and the old Asian theme building were removed to make way for a hunk of twisting metal themed to Top Gun, ruining the original theme the park opened with in this section. Cedar Fair, the current owners of the park, seem to be taking the park back to its old roots, especially with the introduction of the original planned Frontier Canada section of the park. Crossing my fingers, they bring back the old international section as well. Let's keep our anger and attention to this section of the park as we focus on the next four rides that were removed in this beloved section. These next tour attractions that were removed you may or may not remember them. Let's bring in one that is before many of our time, Pharaoh's Eye, which operated from 1981 to 1987 and was located where Sledgehammer and Cyclone currently operate. It was a roundup attraction which is similar to Nightmares today. It was removed to make way for racing rivers, another now defunct ride. Pharaoh's Falls and Water Snake were two waterslides that replaced Pharaoh's Eye in the Sledgehammer and Cyclone Plot of Land. Pharaoh's Falls operated from 1988 to 2000 and Water Snake operated from 1988 to 2001. Pharaoh's Falls was removed one year earlier for what many thought was due to its danger level and the amount of guests that would receive minor injuries on it. This attraction always scared me as a kid and I never actually did end up riding it. I do remember personally riding Water Snake, which was almost like a tubular slide that you didn't actually get wet on. Both structures were removed for Cyclone's introduction. Another random fact is Swings of the Century was also located in Cyclone's Pot of Land next to Pharaoh's Eye before being relocated to its current location. These next two should be easy to remember for the 90s kids that are watching this video. The Great Will of China, which was located where Time Warp is now located, operated from 1981 to 2003 and is now located at Carolins in the Carolinas. This was my personal favorite ride as a kid and I always just remember riding it non-stop and having nothing but like a good time on it. I can't explain it. It was such a great ride. I loved that it would turn and you would face people you didn't know and everyone was laughing. It's just I have really good memories of that ride. I also do remember personally re-riding the ride non-stop. The Fury or Shiva's Fury operated from 1981 to 2003 and was also removed to make way for Time Warp. The ride was sent to King's Island to be used as spare parts for a similar ride over there. Two of Canada's Wonderland's worst roller coasters, Flight Deck and Time Warp in my personal opinion, replaced some of Canada's Wonderland's most iconic attractions to date and I am still obviously really bitter about it. Do we have anyone watching that remembers Smurf Village? Or do you remember anything Flintstones related? Yes? No? Well, not to expose my age or anything, but I remember these attractions very well. Smurfs Cave was a cave-like funhouse that showcased Smurfs in their natural habitat. It used to be Yogi's Forest from 1981 to 1983 and became Smurfs Cave in 1984. At the end of the cave Gargamel was featured playing his organ. Smurfs Cave was replaced by an arcade in 1993 and that arcade operated till 1998 and is now Kidsville Candy and Kidsville guest services in the Zoom Zone area. This brings me to Snail Trail which was formerly Boo Boo's Buggies from 1981 to 1983. It was a small circular kiddie ride where children could ride their own snail-drawn carriage. It was removed in 1997 to make way for Swing Time which opened in 1998. A similar attraction called Bedrock Dock operated from 1981 to 1999 and was located in Scooby-Doo's Haunted Mansion's location and was removed with most things Flintstones. Flintstones Flyboys operating from 1981 to 2002 was a ride controlled round ride similar to Aerofield and was removed in 2002 along with everything Flintstones. One of my personal favorites, Hot Rock Raceway which was closed in 2002 due to maintenance costs and increasing downtime. It was a large single race car themed antique cars that stretched over a very large potted land. I just remember it always being super long. I really liked riding it. Don't know why it's simply just antique cars but it was always super fun. Bedrock Aquarium operated from 1981 to 2002 and was originally called Saltwater Circus. The marine show closed in 2003 due to a massive Nickelodeon expansion in the north part of the park. Bedrock Aquarium sat vacant and in despair for nine years before getting removed in 2001 for Dinosaurs Alive which opened in 2012. Did you ever get to experience this show in the tent? Last but not least was Wonder Mountain Walkway which was a pathway that led you to an observation deck on top of Wonder Mountain. It operated till Thunder Run was added inside the mountain. There are many rumors surrounding the closure and reopening of the observation deck and who knows what Cedar Fair may have up their sleeve. Now when I said it was removed or it was no longer operational till Thunder Run moved inside the mountain a lot of you may not know but Thunder Run used to operate outside of the mountain where Clockworks currently sits and those buildings. It used to operate in that little location as a much smaller version of Thunder Run that was just simply built on ground. It then moved inside Wonder Mountain and became Thunder Run with a much larger layout with a lot of theming like the dragon protecting the treasure chest and the beating heart inside the mountain. For those of you who don't remember the heart no longer operates but when you exit the ride you could hear the dragon's beating heart like as you walk down the exit or while you ride if you were paying attention closely. Just a little tidbit that I had to throw in there about Thunder Run and the dragon and its beating heart for those of you that didn't know. Another portion of the walkway remained open behind Victoria's Falls till the mid-1990s but closed due to incidents involving the slippery floor. Would you like to see the return of the walkway behind the waterfalls or even the walkway on top of Wonder Mountain? Comment down below if you would like to see any of those return. I know I would personally like to see both those return. I don't know whether it's likely the walkways have been destroyed by like Wonder Mountain's guardian supports and all that. I just don't simply see it unless it's in a up-charge attraction where there's an elevator that goes up and then suddenly you're up there. That's the only way I could see it working but who knows. But thank you so much for watching this video on iconic attractions that no longer exist at Canada's Wonderland. We will be dropping a video on other attractions that no longer exist that maybe are newer and have them ranked from worst to best but just wanted to do an older attractions video that people maybe didn't know about or experiences that you didn't maybe know about that Canada's Wonderland had way back in the day. Hope you enjoyed this video. Definitely want to look at your comments down below and ever respond to as many as possible. Thank you so much for watching guys. I really hope you have a merry Christmas and a happy holidays and here we are in the last little bit of 2020 heading into the new year. Thanks so much for watching guys. Have a good one. Bye.
