Today we've got some fantastic images of construction going on at one of our favorite parks, Canada's Wonderland. We still don't have an official announcement of what the park has planned, but it's rather large! Thanks a bunch to Nicholas for grabbing these pics and sending them over. Let's get to it!  The Ontario area is seeing some remnants of Hurricane Beryl and according to our son and daughter in-law, it's been rather muggy the past couple of days.  Most of the work going on right now is in the Aplenfest area near The Fly.   Some of the nearby walkways are being routed around construction.   Some rather big footers, and honestly, some very close together ones as well.      A look at some of the footers that have been completed, complete with Cedar Fair trashcans. =)  Whatever this is going to be, it will look amazing with Wonderland Mountain.   How many coasters will now be around/in/on top of the mountain? Is this 4 now?   And lastly, a look at the old Extreme Sky Flyer plot. Lots of space here! Thanks for checking out our quick update from Canada's Wonderland! We'll actually be visiting Canada next month and have a day planned at the park while we're there. Looking forward to bringing you some more from one of our favorite parks. Related Videos
