The new rides have been announced on the official Canada's Wonderland page. Lucy's Tugboat will be a Rockin' Tugboat from Zamperla.
Peanuts 500, like other Cedar Fair parks will be a Zamperla Speedway.
Snoopy's Revolution will be a ferris wheel, likely from Zamperla as well. This ride is offered in 8, 12 and 16 car models. To maximize capacity while still keeping the ride "perfectly proportioned for kids" it is probable that our ride will be the 12 car model. The attached image of the ferris wheel is a western theme but this ride is offered in several themes so ours will likely have a more generic look.
These rides should complement the existing base of rides in Planet Snoopy and provide a well-rounded ride experience from mild to wild (for kids anyway). Visit

The Wall Street Journal is reporting that Apollo Management LP is expected to acquire Cedar Fair for about $700 million.
The deal would also include the assumption of $1.6 billion of debt, said people familiar with the matter.
Based in Sandusky, Cedar Fair owns 11 theme parks in the United States and Canada, including Cedar Point and Kings Island.
Barring last-minute snags, the deal by the buyout firm is likely to be announced in the coming days, these people said.
Cedar Fair's revenue over the 12 months ended in September totaled about $930 million, down 6.3 percent from the similar 2008 period.
Cedar Fair has been scrambling to address a number of coming debt obligations, said two of the people familiar with the matter. In March it hired Bank of America Merrill Lynch to relieve its debt load. At the same time, it said it might sell two of its theme parks.
According to Google Finance, the amusement park company's stock rose 29.63 percent in after-hours trading to $9.10 per limited partner unit. Apollo Managment LP is a division of Apollo Investment Corp., which announced the closing of its public offering of common stock on Dec. 15.
