Just wondering if many of you will be there on Sunday May 6th for opening day? I was at SPPN, but only got 1 ride on Leviathan because the friend I was with kept whining about the cold. I'll be at opening day for 9am, but I'll be heading to the park alone, so if anybody wants to meet up do join in on my all day Leviathan marathon, let me know! lol

I'll probably be there with a few friends and hopefully I'll get a Fast Lane pass if they're being sold that day.

Probably going with the same people I went with on SPPN. I'll try and wear my Nyan Cat sweater, so if you see me feel free to say hi.

Maybe. I'm on night shift so I might not even be awake until 4pm or so...

Definitely going on the 11th. Hope there isn't any Music Festival or anything... I was part of the Music Festival (Grade 8... I Think) when Tomb Raider opened and it was a bloody zoo

I'll likely be there.

I've never been on regular opening day before. How are the crowds?

Usually light but probably more extreme this year because of leviithian

I really want to go because I'm off work tomorrow, however I have a friend's stag and doe tonight and I can't see myself waking up early enough to get there at a decent time. And it would be a very tough sell trying to convince one of my friends to wake up that early too, since all of them will be at the stag too. I guess I'll just have to wait till later in the month or early June.

I've only ever been to Wonderland when it's jam packed with people. I'm used to going to Cedar Point on the slow days so I hate to wait in line for almost every ride. When is typically the best time to visit Wonderland to avoid the large crowds?

almost any weekday before schools let out is good, weekends late in october are good, some weekends before july, not the long weekend.

When are the best times to go to CP ?

We got lucky one year on canada day the place was empty, but full of bugs, a tradeoff id take anyday.

by **chadta** » May 06, 2012 6:05 am

kids up, just having breakfast, leaving for the park in about anhour, ill have some sort of bright orange flyer shirt on, feel free to say hey

I had hoped to be able to make it today. Its really sad that I can't. The thing about it that makes it ok is that the lines would be crazy long anyway so I probably wouldn't be able to ride more than 4 rides. My plan was to start on easy rides like Dragon Fire first then build but to Leviathan last, just so Leviathan doesn't spoil the other rides.

Was there about 9:30 - 11:30 just to get a couple of rides in and do Leviathan for the first time.

Leviathan was about a 10-15min wait for Early Ride time.
What a great ride! Fast, smooth and VERY fun.
I could ride that all day.
Rode 4th and 2nd car, didn't get to experience the back.
It's like you don't even notice the tunnel, you're going to quick. If you happen to blink at that time, you would have gone through it and missed it anyway.

Behemoth was pretty much a walk on and a Ghost Town.
The long queue was cut off and you could basically walk up to the first landing on the stairs. If you didn't want front seat, you're wait was 5min tops.
Feels old and rickety by comparison to Leviathan. I know its 4 years newer, and I hope maybe that its because its still not hot out...but riding it twice in a row made my stomach a bit queezy.

Drop Zone/Tower was closed after our leviathan rides, but it was up and running for a while. hope they got it fixed.
Same with Windseeker. It was down for the count when we strolled pass on our way to Behemoth.

Left the park before the masses got their tickets and entered.
Lineup queue for what looked like tickets was from around the fence by Leviathans hammerhead.

Suprsied to see WindSeeker not open on opening day for the second year in a row. I know this year they were behind in the maintenance of the ride as the gondola was in pieces during SPPN. Would be suprised to see this ride open on time next year!
