Whoah, that looks fricking insane. Upside down, on your back... I gotta try it if i ever get out there. Winston, minebuster still rules. Shaking... just a side effect ;]
Have you never been on the Tomb Raider ride at Wonderland? On your stomach, face first around the track.
Thats not such a great ride. Its pain ful, it would suck to fall in the cage, and there are no drops (over a few feet long). Just my opinion though. BTW when the new management came in and renamed all the rides with gay names, it got named to "Time Warp" which is incredibly gay.

You should here the names. Name any paramount copyright named ride, and I'll tell you the new gay name. Even topgun fell victim to this curse ):

but they had to change the names didnt they, since they would need to buy rights to the ride names from paramount to keep them. Kings Island also renamed all paramount rides. face/off, drop zone, top gun, tomb raider idk what else
arg pace hit enter before i did.

What happened with the whole Paramount deal anyway? Did the new management not want to pay to use the names anymore?

It was owned by Paramount, thats why it was Paramount Canada's Wonderland.  Cedar Fair bought Wonderland and they dont have the rights to Paramount movie names so they all got changed.

Ahh ok. Is there still an interest in it? Last time I went (probably 4 or 5 years ago now) it seemed pretty empty.

According to wikipedia it was the most visited amusement park in North America in 2 out of the past 4 years, so yeah.  It depends when you go obviously but its still quite amazing.  I went on a Thursday morning/afternoon and it was pretty full.  By around 5pm (when I left) people were pouring in.

I live 10 mins from 6 flags now the park is closed for good. I road the helevator 7 times in a row. It was fun untill one of the lines broke and sliced of a ladies foot.

So a Ferrari theme park is about to open later this year in Abu Dhabi. They're supposed to have the fastest roller-coaster once it's done.

And they're hiring


Looks like a Shadow vessel from Babylon 5
