As someone who loves flat rides, this decade provided some great unique thrills! Behemoth was a great way to cap things off! I'm kind of sad you didn't mention FearFest being introduced and only briefly mentioned Nickelodeon Central, but I'm sure you were just trying to keep the video fairly concise. Just a few small corrections: 2000 was the park's 20th season, not its 19th. The water slide you mention was named Pharaoh's Falls, not Pharaoh's Drop. Regarding the Paramount IPs: The rides actually didn't get their new names until 2008, coinciding with Behemoth's opening. Except for the kids' park where the names didn't change until Planet Snoopy was added in 2010. I've never heard of the "Action Zone initiative" being an attempt to modernize Expo and always thought it was just Paramount building a new area sprouting off from Expo. Seems weird Top Gun (and Tomb Raider) were always listed as part of Expo (until Cedar Fair came in and removed the Expo name entirely) and that the Action Zone name was completely gone from the park map in 2005 when Italian Job was added. Regardless, I'm definitely sad about the loss of so much theming with the buildings (and of course I sincerely mourn the loss of The Great Whale of China and The Fury). Looking forward to your 2010s video, featuring Planet Snoopy, Wonder Mountain's Guardian, everything building up to Frontier Canada, and of course the park's two most-recent B&Ms! 😁
I agree with everything you said except for action zone the grand world expo of 1890, that’s the part that doesn’t make sense, allow to let me explain...
That part of land open with the park as grand world expo of 1890 from 1981-1994 after that year they opened top gun aka flight deck and changed the land to action zone, then mediaeval fair in 1996 and Hanna Barbera’s Flintstones in 2002, then in 2006 Cedar fair bought the park and kept it the same way until 2019
That’s the right story and year they opened for the season with now 9 sections: mediaeval fair, international festival, planet snoopy, kidsville, frontier canada, splash work, action zone, grand world expo of 1890 and International street
@@Noah-ey5zf I was basing this on the park maps. The name "Action Zone" first appeared when Psyclone was added in 2002 and also was included in 2003 and 2006-2018. (I'm not sure if it was on the map in 2004 as I can't locate that year, but it definitely was not used in 2005). From 1981-2006, The Grande World Exposition of 1890 was on the park map and was only absent from the park maps between 2007-2018 (when Cedar Fair first took ownership of the park). For a few years (under Paramount's ownership) Action Zone and World Expo were both listed on the park map, usually as separate areas, though sometimes Action Zone was just a part of Expo instead of being its own area. I'm definitely not saying Top Gun fit the theme of World Expo, but just think it's interesting Paramount never used the "Action Zone" name to refer to Flight Deck (Top Gun), Xtreme Skyflyer, and Time Warp (Tomb Raider). They kept the World Expo name whereas Cedar Fair abandoned it (until 2019 when it returned to the park map). I actually wrote a two-part history of World Expo that's available on the park's official blog, if you want to learn more. ☺
Will you be doing the 2010s. That decade is one of Wonderland’s best decade with a lot of cool flat rides like Windseeker or Soaring Timbers and the 3 coasters added in the decade. Leviathan, Wonder Mountain Guardian and Yukon Striker.
but I guess the older will always be more fascinating (like for me on tv) 📺 fullscreen is more fascinating then widescreen because it’s older in the past, is that what you mean?

Thank you! The next in the series will be on Haunt History specifically :)
i liked days of thunder and jet scream

When are you going to cover the 2010's?
June 10th! 😃

Yes there will be.
Wind seeker /soaring Timbers are garbage
I miss scooby doo, boo blasters sucks
Why so?? boo blasters
look all right for what it
is in the kids area right?
but I guess the older will always be more fascinating (like for me on tv) 📺 fullscreen is more fascinating then widescreen because it’s older in the past, is that what you mean?
@@Noah-ey5zf I guess you can say that. I’ve only been on it once before I moved out of Canada. Idk why, I just like the scooby doo version better.
@@frosty5379 oh okay 👍 all good (just out of curiosity) do you live in the States now or out of the continent? (North America) 🌎
