  1. Sorry about the delay. Well for the question to how big Wonderland is, it is situated on 330 acres of land. The park itself has about 60 Rides, which includes 12 coasters. Top Gun is a Vekoma SLC; maximum height is only 102 feet. There are five inversions in the ride, which lasts 2:40. While Top Gun is a thrilling ride, it just doesn't leaving you wanting more after riding it. The main problem I see is that it was built in an area much smaller then it should of been. The track is too compact, so you are being thrust all over without really seeing what is coming up. Not to mention your head gets pounded off the shoulder restraints during the entire ride. Don't get me wrong, it's fun but if you are expecting a top caliber coaster you will leave disappointed. Personally when I go to Wonderland, I don't wait in line for Top Gun. I would much rather get on one of the great wooden coasters, Minebuster and Wild Beast. If you sit in the front row of either, you are in for a GREAT ride. Tons of airtime, and the lines are usually small. What sets PCW apart from other parks in my mind is the flat rides they have. For the past four years they have added a new flat attraction. This past year they installed a Huss JUMP2, which is called SledgeHammer. The ride makes you lose your stomach on each drop, very fun. We have Psyclone, which is similar to PKI's Delirium except it is made by Mondial. Another is Cliffhanger, which is a Huss Top Spin, the same type of ride as Tomb Raider at PKI, except it's outside and involves a fountain, which soaks the riders. The last, is Shockwave a Mondial TopScan, it provides insane amounts of G's tossing you all around. This is a ride you have to experience if you are a huge thrill seeker.
  2. Hello everyone, I'm new to the site. I am a Season Passholder at Paramount Canada's Wonderland in Ontario. I came down to PKI in the middle of June (on a Saturday) for the first time and there was insanely long lineups. My girlfriend and I waited in line for 2 hours for Son of Beast (twice), plus an hour and a half for Flight of Fear, and about an hour for The Beast. We are planning on coming down the last weekend, November 1st and 2nd. What I am looking to know is how busy the park is during FearFest. Does it compare to a Saturday in the summer? How good the FearFest attractions are, and the wait times usually? Also from what I have read is that most of the major coasters are in operation. Can anyone just confirm what rides are operating? I am looking to become a regular on PKIunlimited, I have lurked for awhile but it's time to get involved more. If anyone has any questions about Wonderland, I would be more then happy to answer them. Thanks. Cheers!
