Has anyone experienced this, for the past 3years I have been pre approved for boarding pass based on my diagnosis, this year I was told it’s a line pass and the decision on the phone was based on group dynamics. I emailed the accessibility about it and was told that i can go in person and get re evaluated. When I got there yesterday on Mother’s Day, brought my diagnosis (they won’t look at paperwork’s, something about privacy) trying to explain my situation, pretty much was told no it can not be changed to a boarding pass because it’s based on individual needs, then said it’s group dynamic then supervisor just said it’s based on medical conditions. The same condition that I been getting a pass for the past 3 years and literally someone else got approved for while I was there. The worse part is the no empathy and rudeness of staff, I was polite and honestly the whole situation and environment (outside guest service) people were crowding next to the window and bumping into me,’which exasperates my condition, I was in tears as I was speaking, they saw me distressed but spoke to me with repeated protocol sentences and not really seeing the human being in front of them. In any case I was told basically because I was assessed and to preserve the integrity of the assessment nothing can be done, and basically i have to plan accordingly if I come in with more than 1 person, so only me and my support are allowed but my children who are under the age of 12 aren’t. Basically find a chaperone for them or leave them at home. Can anyone kindly clarify if this is true, that it can’t be changed or reassessed? And if so, what’s the real answer, isn’t suppose to be based on the over all picture and group dynamic? I would appreciate any help or advice, this causing me tremendous anxiety because of not being able to be with my children and chaperone as well with the new rules. It’s bad enough having to deal with the disability on daily basis and not be to function like all mothers at 100% capacity, now I have to let my children down again by not being capable to the park with them and ride. Thank you in advance

Thinking of taking my young kids for the first time this Saturday at 3/4pm after their naps. It's really the only time we can make it this weekend. From experience, is it less busy in the evenings than during the day?

Any help would be great.

Hello, I'm taking my wife and daughter this Thursday and trying to gauge how busy it will be, in the past during summer break or on weekends the lines are typically quite long, I figure while kids are in school and with the cooler weather it may be a lot quieter? Or maybe everyone else has the same idea and it will still be packed regardless?

Let me know your thoughts!

I'm just wondering what things are good to put on my resume to get hired, and what positions do they usually hire high schoolers for?

My husband and I both purchased Gold Season passes along and we got the gold parking pass. I plan to go tomorrow but my husband is not and i just realized our parking is linked to his account. Will they let me park with this? I have the pass on my app but just under his name.

I went to wonderland for the first time this season on Saturday and was able to get a Attraction Acessibility Pass and it made a world of difference. I could actually enjoy my day! I didn’t have to stand in line physically (though I still did my fair share of waiting) and because of it I wasn’t in awful pain like I used to be on my previous trips over the years! As much as it sucks seeing people abuse the system, it was so nice to have. I have never been able to spend an entire day at wonderland before and leave not because i was in pain, but just because I wanted to. Accessibility is genuinely life changing!

Recently, I read that there's pulled pork now at Lazy Bear Lodge and some people were also saying the brisket was no longer listed.

Does anyone have a definitive confirmation if brisket is still available?

My freind got suspended from wonderland for sneaking in (under 16yrs) and is suspended for 1 month. If i take him on my season pass bring a freind, do yall think i might get in trouble?? Yall pls lmk ASAP

Hey everyone - Manitobian here;

For our family summer trip, I'm thinking of bringing my family out to TO to catch a Jays game and hit up any other family-friendly activities I find in the surrounding area (hence doing a little CWL research). I have a couple of questions and would really appreciate your insight:

1.) When is the best time to visit CWL if I'm trying to avoid super large crowds/do they have a "downtime"? I'm planning my trip for the end of August, but could go as late as the first week of September. Is there a rush before school starts? A specific day of the week to aim for or avoid? We're pretty flexible at this point.

2.) Are the fast-passes worth it/what is a typical wait time like? My daughter is 5, but she's tall and a brave little thing. I don't think she'll be tall enough/ready for the big-big coasters, but she'll be all over the smaller ones - I imagine she'll love something like the Backlot coaster, Timer Falls, or the big swings/wind seeker. I'm a coaster fan myself...so if I can sneak away to jump on a couple of the noteworthy ones I will absolutely do it - but that will be a game-time decision.

I guess my basic threshold would be - if everything has a 15/20 minute wait time, we'll be fine without. If everything is an hour+ - I'd probably buy them even for the few rides she would want to do. I don't think my daughter would do well in multiple hour-long lines.

3.) Can you do all the rides in one day? Can we mill around at our own pace and hit everything in one day, or does this require a Disney-style plan with a pre-set route and schedule?

4.) What are your "Must Do's" for a family with a dare-devil 5 year old? Also, if I can only sneak in one or two big coasters before my kid gets wise to me...which should I go for?

5.) Are the shows worth it?

6.) Is the waterpark worth it?

I also welcome any other tips, tricks, or insider knowledge that will help me plan the most efficient and fun day, with as few meltdowns as possible.

I appreciate your help!

Anyone know how many remnants of former rides or other park features still exist? For instance I know there’s the mountain pathways that are still visible from above and there’s a statue leftover from Sol Loco/Orbiter.
