Re: Canada's Wonderland | Wonder Mountain's Guardian | Dark
I have to admit the cars/trains are really strange - theyre back to back and from what ive seen it looks really strange on a lift hill...
Also the ride won't be open by seasons pass preview night on friday, but hopefully it will be ready in two weeks or so
anyway, more pictures of the track, from cwmania:

Coaster Crew posted this short video of one of the trains on the track before the lift hill.

Should we move this topic to Roller Coaster Construction? :wink:

Nobody really knows what's inside the mountain, just that's there's going to be screens and stuff to shoot at. I'm still waiting for it to open, but from the outside, it looks like a coaster to me.
I know they're still fixing up the mountain, but I don't think testing has started yet. It could be a few weeks until the ride actually opens.

Really poor shaky video, but it seems to carry more speed than I was expecting.

Looks like I missed all the testing at the park yesterday, but CWMania got some video of it:

I'll head back to the park again today when it's not raining to hopefully get some video/pictures
Edit - Embedded the video for easier viewing. ECG

Who's actually behind the coaster section of the ride? I'm not a complete goon so I'm happy that I'm unable to identify the track. If I was to take a stab in the dark I'd guess Intamin as the supports look very similar to those on Collosus at Thorpe. Although it could be a custom job as it doesn't need to do too much?
Either way I can't say that I'm particularly excited to be riding this in a couple of weeks. It looks very meh.

Re: Canada's Wonderland | Wonder Mountain's Guardian | Dark
The way the door shuts after the coaster enters the building got me quite excited.
I disagree with you, Shrek. This is one of the rides I'm most looking forward to. The coaster section does look a bit dull (similar to the drop preamble on Th13teen), but I'm intrigued how a dark shooty ride with special effects will combine with a coaster. It's like an adventure coaster where the theme and storyline contines throughout the entire ride.Darren B said:

Re: Canada's Wonderland | Wonder Mountain's Guardian | Dark
I was at the park Sunday and Monday - saw quite a few test runs so i'm optimistic it will be opening soon. I took some pictures but there's really nothing new to see in them
Well, I could be wrong, but I think Triotech designed the dark ride, Matcom Group installed the track, and the track pieces came from somewhere in Germany. I think I read about another company being involved but don't take my word on it
I'm honestly not particularly impressed with the trains/cars though, I'd rather have two rows of forward seating than back to back, and i'm not sure how I feel about going up the lift hill backwards. Also, the two train design is a little ugly :/
