With the closure of Do Dodonpa, we can’t help but see a greater trend within the coaster industry. Check out the channel on social media! Instagram - @MidcourseDiscourse Intro/outro music by drylids Other music by H3 Music
Awesome rankings and video!! I like how u reviewed every ride in detail at the end, now THAT'S a real review video!!
Time Warp looks like a torture device. Only a sick human being could think of that thing
It looks like one because it is one 😂
I’m Scared To Go On Leviathan! 😩😩
absolutely amazing videography capturing my home park!! incredible skills. when I heard you say Minebuster was probly one of your least favorite coasters, i said out loud, "oh boy, is he in for a treat on flightdeck"😂😂 did you ever get a front ride on levi (my favorite row) and how would you rank the top three between (behemoth Yukon leviathan?)
@@DoomSlug78 Thanks so much! Flight Deck blew me away, in the bad sort of way. No front row on Leviathan unfortunately. Leviathan was definitely my favorite, and is probably my second favorite giga now behind Fury 325. Behemoth was great as well, but like I said in the vid I prefer Diamondback. Yukon is right up there with Behemoth, and it may be my favorite dive coaster yet!
Love the video
@@JakeBrickmobile thank you!
My heart says yes but my hernias say no. Aww.
@@slowneutron6163 😂😂
Some flat rides scare the heck out of me!
@@CH1K3N1-j9f some of them don’t even look real!
I agree with you on that one!
My first visit to Canada's Wonderland about killed me, Mighty Canadian Minebuster gave me a bruise about 6" high across my entire diaphragm, Flightdeck made me dizzy af from the roughness, Dragon Fire gave me a migraine which made me leave the park 4 hours earlier than I wanted. The flat rides of CW really make up for the bottom half of their rollercoasters. I really wish CW's direction would move away from "WE NEED MOST ROLLERCOASTERS" to "We need better rollercoasters". Timewarp and Flightdeck could be sacrificed for a midsized B&M invert.
@@claxtontheclam9903 Totally agree, but I do understand that quantity is pretty big to the park considering how large of a population it pulls from.
When the music started getting all wonky before the flight deck footage 😂
It felt fitting 🤌
Soooooo how might one get merch
👀
Canada's Wonderland is such an underrated cedar fair park!!
@@VelocityRides31 it really is!
Awesome video... Totally want to try Time Warp too 😅... Gotta make a trip up there, never been. Great work dude.
@@justinricciyoga Honestly for as bad as Time Warp was, I think Flight Deck took the cake for the worst ride I’ve been on 😂
Great video as usual - thank you! Canada's Wonderland is on our 2025 list.
@@happycoasterdad Thank you, it’s definitely worth a visit, especially with AlpenFury opening up next year!
Fair review John. Glad David and I made a small appearance in your video. I look forward to seeing you return for Alpen Fury
@@munnyguyca Thank you, it was great meeting you both!
Good to hear you enjoyed Canadas Wonderland, my home park. It’s nice that you noticed the “higher standard”, although I’m not sure I’d give the credit to Paramount. I’ve always thought of it as the Taft Broadcasting legacy. I certainly agree with you about the range of ride quality, but the park is so highly attended, they need every bit of ride capacity they can get.
Ahh yes, Taft was just King’s Island and Canada’s Wonderland, right? I should’ve gotten more into it on video, but everything from the park layout to the buildings and facades - impeccable quality. That makes sense, even the rougher rides serve a purpose at such a busy park!
@@MidcourseDiscourseTaft built Kings Island, Kings Dominion, Canada’s Wonderland and Australia’s Wonderland. The park in Australia was kind of a sad story.
Time Warp’s sign of “our apologies, this ride is closed” seems just a bit oxymoronic. Trust me Canada’s Wonderland, there is no need to apologize! 🤭. I do hope Sledge Hammer sticks around. Such a fun and unique flat. Great video. Still have no idea why you don’t have more subscribers. I have a feeling you’ll catch on though, so keep up the nice work!
Haha, I’m glad I’ve experienced Time Warp now, but doubt I’ll ever go out of my way to ride again. Thanks for the support, I’m just going to keep making videos as I can, and if people want to stick around, that’s awesome!
You do realize that scare actors smell fear. You need to toughen up chicken boy. 😂😂😂
Such a great video. Put together very well! Thank you!
I stopped watching the minute you quoted roomers as facts, never been conformesd and i think there was more planning than you think. This fits there time lime of new rides if they didnt have to redo tt2.
Great video! Very high quality too
What’s with the video, seems it could have sent out in an email.
Everything you are saying has NEVER BEEN CONFIRMED. YOUR PHOTOS DONT MEAN NOTHING!!!. CP has been clearing that land for some while now. You think CP got those permits in 1 week?? You are out of your mind. Just another TH-camr going off what every other yourtuber is claiming.
Great commentary. I think this will be such a visually stunning ride. I really hope they invest into themeing it well. That's the only part of CP I think is really lacking, but the new additions are a lot better about it. I saw a video of a Vekoma rep talking about how the designed this new generation of tilt coasters to be very modular. They can insert the tilt element into any layout. Maybe Mexico will get one later if this ends up being a great success.
That’s neat, so pretty much any sit-from Vekoma could be a tilt! Imagine if they made a tilting hyper coaster or something 😂
Many modern Disney coasters are Vekoma…Guardians, Everest, Tron
@@haiderodes True! I should’ve mentioned that. Disney and Vekoma’s relationship is interesting, as they’ve basically been producing high quality rides the entire time, probably because Disney has the money for incredible amounts of R&D. Even globally, “new-gen” Vekoma has been slowly surfacing over the last couple of decades with new track design, train design, reliability, and smoothness. I think that in regard to more traditional amusement parks, Formula checked all the boxes, for what I assume was a competitively priced ride.
You should do a sky coaster. The turkey leg 😂
Is Wild mouse not a standard Zamperla model?
Nope! It was the first of the Twister Freeform model from Zamperla, which is a custom take on their more traditional Twister layouts.
Glad they're finally filling the empty space. I think the stage will be moved towards the boardwalk or main midway. The shows have made me crazy for years because they completely clog the midway. I'm excited for next season. TT2 will just quietly get running. I believe Cedar Point getting this ride is to distract from TT2 as well as Cedar Point being a flagship park and they've gotten prototypes or first time builds in the past. Cedar Point has had disastrous PR and interesting operations for the last 5-6 years. Initially I believed they had planned this for a while, 2-4 years I got told is an average planning timeline, but as the timeline and different opinions get out there the late planning and decision making lines up.
Yeah, honestly next season should be fantastic if everything gets up and running correctly. I think the future is really looking bright for CP, they just have to get these rough couple of years behind them for good!
I'm glad that this Vekoma tilt coaster went to Cedar Point instead of Energylandia. I'm not just saying that because Cedar Point is my homepark. Energylandia receives more investment than they know what to do with. They got a coaster like every other year for the last decade. Kinda feel bad for Six Flags México. Hopefully they get something else cool to compensate for their loss. I think this will look great next to Valravn, and its layout looks better than Valravn imo. I've always wanted to see more of these new gen Vekomas pop up in the U.S. and not just in Europe, and here we are with my homepark unexpectedly announcing one. And TT2 hasn't even really opened yet!!!
Same boat here - It’s a bummer for those who have Energylandia as their main park, but SF Mexico got screwed so hard with this. That being said, I am curious to see what Energylandia’s future will look like in coming years, considering it seems like the government isn’t dumping crazy money into it like they were. Regardless, CP will be incredible to check out with both TT2 and Siren’s!
@MidcourseDiscourse Energylandia is going to be three times the size of Cedar Point in the next 5 years at the rate their going. Also, something else that goes with how Siren's Curse was not designed for Cedar Point, and my biggest concern: Cedar Point is in the middle of Cleveland and Toledo. They get slammed. I don't know if Siren's Curse will be able to handle that. That's my only criticism. I think they've done everything they could've with the layout, I think the layout looks spot on. You have a great triple down, two whippy barrel rolls, low to the ground banked turns and pops of airtime. It looks like an RMC.
I don't really see why cedar point went with siren's curse when they already got 3 coasters that have a vertical/beyond vertical drop, and this being somewhat close to valravn. Great video as always and can't wait to see more!
@@VelocityRides31 I’m mixed on it. Although I do think there’s a couple better fits for the park, there’s honestly not much CP DOESN’T have. It is weird having two coasters that hang you over a vertical drop right next to each other, but I think the rest of the layout is unique enough to stand out, especially compared to the positive-focused B&Ms like Valravn. All of that being said, I think this definitely would fit better at several other parks in the chain. Thanks for the support :)
From a marketing standpoint, I understand your point. In terms of the actual sensation and visual spectacle on the midway of the tilt track, I think it will prove to be an entirely different beast. Word of mouth for this ride may actually prove to be more successful at drawing guests than the marketing campaign itself.
@@TexKP Very true, thank you for your comment
They only thing they are missing is a proper mack spinner where gemini is :P.
i wanna get to this park so bad
@@zooderloopers date and time, I’ll be there 😂
After 22 yrs of wanting to go from Texas I finally went this past summer..I drove all the way there and I have no regrets whatsoever..If it's on your bucket list go for it. Make your dreams become a reality
5:39 I feel the same fear
@@Demetrisadventures 🚫🦇🎢
Another great video, thanks!!!
@@anthonydrumheller9277 thanks for checking it out!
HOLY MOLY!!! I'm the clown girl with the black teeth and cane! Can I credit you if I snag a still?
Absolutely! Awesome job :)
good morning John. Hope you had a great day at Canada's Wonderland yesterday. David and I had a great time chatting with you at the entrance line.
@@munnyguyca Steve, thanks for the comment! I had a blast at the park, hope you two did as well :)
Glad to check out your videos! ❤👏🏻
@@m.hreels9822 thanks!
Great live stream
Such a cool video! I’m on the Prop Team and I helped make the skeleton stilt walkers. First time having my work in a TH-cam thumbnail!!! Thanks for visiting!
That’s so awesome!! The costumes and props throughout Halloweekends are next level, and the stilt walkers definitely stood out to me the most (both their outfits as well as the way they moved/interacted with people). Great job!
Your camera work and editing are damn good! Where is the Midnight walk through?
@@chrisbender8714 I appreciate it! I should have mentioned it in the video, but Midnight is the only haunt where we were explicitly told NOT to film
@@MidcourseDiscourse ..but where is it? By gatekeeper?
@@chrisbender8714 correct, right up front past Gatekeeper’s gift shop
That’s some good stuff btw I’m the kid who asked you about your camera there 👍
@@Just_get_out_and_ride Hope you had a great time there as well, thanks for checking the video out!
I love the videos. Keep em coming! This filming is top tier 💯
@@jamesobrien9660 That’s the plan cuzzo 🫡
Haircut = awesome
@@DouglasB.H 💈💇♂️
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 the pumpkin! Did not see that coming
@@Demetrisadventures nobody expects 🎃
Thanks for the great video! We r going the first weekend in Oct. We've gone every year, except one! This makes me even more excited for it!
@@anthonydrumheller9277 Have a blast, it’s a phenomenal event!
You’re not wrong. Kentucky Kingdom is grossly underrated. Just visited today and that RMC is awesome. I expected Lighting Run to be good but mind blown good.
@@FIF0101578 Honestly there aren’t many small coasters better than Storm Chaser and Lightning Run. Glad you had a good trip!
King Island is my home park and my place of employment. Because of that I kinda gravitate towards smaller parks but that one is a gem. Going to Holiday World next weekend
Rugeru better be the next ride to be removed. Gemini and magnum are far better rides. They should relocate it to michigans adventure and give it new b&m stand up trains.
@@askjeevescosby2928 I’ve said the same thing - Michigan’s Adventure could use a modern looper like Rougarou! It’s not a bad ride at Cedar Point, it just doesn’t stand out in their lineup - and I feel like another park could really use it.
I dont understand why they don't sell rides like these. Have a small park buy it and pay for its removal. Saves the park money and a small park gets a new ride.
Saw your shirt promoting your channel today 9/20/24 at halloweekends. Decided to check out your channel and subscribe. Loving the videos
@@roselitteral2155 I appreciate the support!
Hey GREAT video - and awesome to meet you today !!
Thanks! It was great meeting you as well :)
I was there the same day! Labor Day! Was friggin busy!
@@chrisbender8714 It really was! When I was looking it up online, it seems like Memorial Day can be completely dead, or jam packed. I guess it’s just luck of the draw sometimes!
