  • @JBJblaze
    @JBJblaze Před 2 lety +4

    'Twas my first and still favourite roller coaster, and I've come to realize why is because, besides the couple of loops, the ride is otherwise fairly closed off yet open in the view of the ride. Nice POV, by the way! It takes me back to a dozen years ago! 👍

  • @RaptorZX3
    @RaptorZX3 Před 10 měsíci +4

    i went to Marineland when i was young, like 10-12 years old, and i remember being terrified by those big drops in rollercoasters. Well, i really liked it in the end, and when i was there, it was a slow day, so i was able to redo it like 8 times in a row without waiting!
    The part at 2:05, the cosmetic shell part around the track wasn't there back then, I've read that when the rollercoaster opened, the cosmetic stuff wasn't done yet, so the volcano part wasn't there and was only added MUCH later in 2006, and there was supposed to have waterfall parts on that stretch after exiting the first tunnel a 2:30.

    While I definitely do not believe that Marineland should remove Dragon Mountain, I think that they need to look for a supporting coaster or two. Both a Premier Sky Rocket II and a Gravity Group Family Coaster are not terrible ideas for this park.

    • @wendyokoopa7048
      @wendyokoopa7048 Před 3 lety +1

      Yeah sadly the entire works maybe up for sale. Sadly due to virus discretionary spending including travel really took a hit especially in Ontario. I think Marineland was the only Canadian amusement park opened. Wonderland didn't open at all last year. Even Niagara falls proper wasn't really opened for business.

    • @wendyokoopa7048
      @wendyokoopa7048 Před 3 lety +2

      They actually do have a 👪/ kiddie coaster simply called the 🐞 coaster. However the entire park has always been a contentious one around here due to the animals. So for any potential new owner the first order will be addressing the animal issue as its homes to many beluga, killer 🐋, many seemingly underfed 🐻, and 🐧.

    • @appalachianenthusiast9499
      @appalachianenthusiast9499 Před 3 lety +2

      There actually is a new owner (the former owner's wife), and she is investing money into animal research and determining how to improve animal habitats in the park. Last year alone, she donated $10 Million, which also shows that the park is profitable. Since they are teasing a New for 2022 attraction as well, I can see what is in Marineland's future, and that is success.

    I rode that coaster back when it first open. I was young, 12 or 13, and remember there being no vegetation present. It was definitely cool being on a coaster which followed the contours of the ground so much. The last loops out of the long tunnel always stuck with me.

    What’s really really weird to me is I once had a dream about a roller coaster almost exactly like this, but I thought it was just a dream and couldn’t actually be a real rollercoaster because of all the trees so close to the tracks, that it would take too much maintenance to trim all those trees around the tracks (or at least that’s what I thought!) I’ve never been to Canada in my life but I rode this ride in my dream… Anyway Rest In Peace Kiska you didn’t deserve your 13 year isolation and cruel treatment. 💔
