omg .. to compare Busch Gardens to Wonderland is a crime !
there's not a single coaster at Wonderland that comes anywhere close to the rides at both Busch parks (which i've been too). the one in Tampa has the largest wooden-dual in the world, the world's largest 4-seater inverted , and 3rd or 4th largest 4 seater steel upright i believe ..
not to mention that everybody there has a nicer killer tan !!

See i did argue with them too because i don't think any theme part in florida can be compared to wonderland. But since i wasn't there i couldn't give them all the wonderful details you just provided. So next time someone argues i will use those. And of course the tanned bodies all over the place.

sames here .. i always hav the same problem trying to convince ppl up here how good the theme parks are down there. it always seems like everyone in TO is so shelterred and has only been to wonderland. i remember once in highschool someone even told me that they thought it was the greatest amusement park in the world ! i was like .. boy are u livin a lie ..
and truss me .. the tan incentive always works..

heh .. yeah, how can you compare Wonderland to the rest of the world unless you've actually experienced all the parks around the world ..
but Wonderland ain't all that bad (at least we have a close-by theme park, just need the entrance price to be lowered about $30) .. they have a pretty decent collection of flat rides (Shockwave and Cliffhanger have awesome potential if they just kicked up the intensity settings a few notches) .. but I find the park overall draws in the kiddies and teen groups and the like, and not much attention from enthusiasts .. supposedly for 2005, they're gonna build something that will really put them on the map

that's the thing .. the only reason why i despise the park is due to their overprice admission .. i mean if they actually used the money to build new coasters it could be justified .. but i'm not seein any material !
anyways .. so yea 2005 .. 4 seater upright eh .. ?? putting them on the map .. ? hehehe .. more like catching up with the rest of the world since just about every park (ie. even Six Flags LaRonde in Sherbrooke, PQ) has one of those ..

Well best thing about the price is get a season pass for 67 before the discount dead line I'm getting mine

hey, i wouldn't mind the inverted B&M at LaRonde to be the new coaster for PCW .. but from what I heard the new coaster may be a hyper (200+ ft) B&M floorless .. supposedly something of that magnitude

La Ronde (or I guess more appropriately called Six Flags La Ronde) is in Montreal (5min from downtown).. not in Sherbrooke. I haven't been in years. Apparently Six Flags is gonna put some serious money into the park.

So I just got in from my fourth consecutive annual trip to Canada's Wonderland with one of my best buddies. This year we started off with 3 turns of Drop Zone followed by another 22 rides, to break our record of 25 rides in one day!! Funnel Cakes, Tiny Tim Donuts, and Fudge were part of the day. Of course we went to Tony Romas for Ribs, what a day! More exhausting than any party I've been too!!!!! So yeah, I love rollercoasters.
