Should there be mention of the Park's recent PST fiasco? The park wasn't giving customers a PST exemption for certain items including food and merchandise. Reported numerous times by Citytv...[1]
- I'd lean toward leaving that out of the article. It seems like a bit of a contemporary triviality that no one will care about in 5 years. If the problem persisted and they were charged it would worthy of inclusion. --NormanEinstein June 28, 2005 22:42 (UTC)

- By all accounts, the park has been overcharging customers for years. Citytv has been following the story for over 2 weeks, and the park has yet to make any changes since the story was first aired. The station estimates that the park's customers are paying an additional 5-10 million dollars each year because of this gaffe.
- Management blames the student staff (the largest summer student employer in the GTA I believe) for this problem, but the management themselves should be making more of an effort to educate all of its vendors about the problem.--Madchester June 30, 2005 05:29 (UTC)
This article is useless without mentioning the park's funnel cakes! --Madchester June 30, 2005 05:27 (UTC)

- PCW is not only the largest student employer in the GTA, it is Canada's Largest employer of Young People (though they don't specify what exactly Young People are.) --Dzmatt August 16, 2005 17:59 (UTC)

The mighty canadian mine buster is NOT the longest wooden roller coaster in Canada. Le monstre at laronde is. Monstre = Track 1=1218 meters Track 2=1227 meters
[edit] Frontier Canada
If anyone has one of the original park maps - could they be so kind as to scan and upload a high quality version of it! - I would do it if I had a copy of that map! - if you have extras I would buy it from you! Thanks - User: Themepark
Well I don't know if it would scan but I know in the men's washroom in Maintenance there is a 5x5 foot map of the park from like 1982 or something.
Well if you could scan it in - that would be great!!! - if you need help reassembling the image in photoshop, just send me the sections and I can do it for you. User: Themepark
[edit] Wild Beast is the fastest.
Wild Beast is faster than The Great Canadian Minebuster. Wild Beast goes approximately 56 mph. The Great Canadian Minebuster only goes approximately 55.9 mph.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 142.46.141.191 (talk • contribs) 21:59, 30 August 2006 (UTC).
- Is this a joke? You may want to realize that 55.9 ≈ 56, and as both given speeds are approximate, there is no case for distinction here. –Dvandersluis 16:07, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Section?
I removed this because I couldn't decide which section it should be in: An episode of The Littlest Hobo was set at Canada's Wonderland in the very early days of the park. Would this belong in a new sectioncalled something like culteral impact or even trivia? RJFJR 13:34, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
- I think a trivia section could be appropriate. – Dvandersluis 14:08, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
- Works for me. RJFJR 19:25, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
