I have just returned from Canada's Wonderland, a trip we took yesterday, and it was a beautiful Sunday with the sun shining, not too hot, and we had a great time just touring around. I rode attractions and rides I haven't ridden in years. For example, I rode Dragonfire, and that was interesting. Of course, that was one of the OG rides in Canada's Wonderland, along with the great Canadian Mindbuster, which I also rode yesterday. And that still is a great attraction. I still enjoy riding that coaster. There's nothing like the sound of a wooden coaster, you know? And the clacking of the tracks and the chain. It just, well, maybe it takes me back to my childhood, I'm not sure, but it's always fun. And, you know, since they redeveloped the Great Canadian Mindbuster over the last number of years, they've smoothed out the ride and it's very enjoyable. I don't really think I noticed anything else worthy of reporting aside from the fact that they are preparing for Halloween haunt. So that's the special event around Halloween time where you can go for some scares, you can go through haunted mazes, you can check out The Conjuring, which is a almost like an escape room, but modeled after the film series, The Conjuring. And it's interactive, you get to do activities, and also there are scares to be had. I went last year and it was a lot of fun, so consider trying it this year. However, it's more expensive this year. Yesterday it was $20 for admission to that, but over the next few weeks it's going to go right up to $40 a person. Depending on what time you go and how close it is to Halloween. I also noticed that there was a new food location. It was basically another pizza pizza, but they distinguished this one because it was pizza pizza deep dish, and so you can get slices of deep dish pizza from this particular location. I didn't bother trying it because it's not something you can't get anywhere else. And it looked just like a deep dish pizza you might get locally. If you're really interested in the pricing of that and what's available, I did post pictures on my Instagram so you can have a look there. I took a picture of the menu board so you can see what's available and the pricing. The other thing I had when I was there yesterday was a dole whip. And for those of you out there who are Disney fans, you'll know what a dole whip is most likely. It's a fan favorite for people who visit Disney World, but you can get dole whips in other locations as well. I found a location in Canada's Wonderland near the pirate ship called Viking Rage. And I had a mango dole whip, and I enjoyed it.

Mouse Minutes: Piston Peak National Park

SPEAKER_00 4:10

Anyway, enough about that recent trip to Canada's Wonderland, let's get to Mouse Minutes. So Mouse Minutes this week is going to be about Piston Peak. Disney's building a new area based on Disney Pixar's film series, Cars. And the park will be in the Magic Kingdom in an area known as Frontierland. It takes over an area where there's Tom Sawyer's Island, or there was, they're getting rid of it. It's where Tom Sawyer's Island and the rivers of America used to be, but they have taken that out to build Biston Peak National Park. And that is what this section of the park is going to be called. It kind of pulls on the Americana style of storytelling that idolizes the frontier and leans into the heroism of those who forged a new path into Western America and its rugged mountains, rivers, and waterfalls. Disney refers to the historic characters that believed in themselves and helped forge a path to their dreams. Now this sounds suspiciously like American frontier idealism, the whole idea of colonization, colonizing the West, which, you know, there's the mythology that's heroic, and then recently we've come to question the methods of our colonization and what became of it, what the results were. Disney, of course, doesn't refer to this, but that colonization might be a factor in this American dream mythology, but uh they kind of ignore it. Anyway, when it comes to this land, you've got to think of the imagery you get when you think about the national parks in America. Think towering trees, snow capped mountains, breathtaking waterfalls, roaring rivers, and impressive geysers. Piston Peaks is really inspired by the Rocky Mountains area, and the whole history of the American frontier. In this area there will be a visitor's lodge, rangers' headquarters, trails, and more. The buildings will blend in with the natural surroundings in the same way that architecture works in the real life national parks, and maybe you've seen some of the lodges and so on that they have their same idea in this mimicking of the whole national parks experience in Disney. And of course there will be lots of trees and a waterway through the park. Now there are two attractions at Piston Peak National Park, at least two that they've announced so far. One is Miss Fritter's Daredevil Spinalong. It's based on the characters from Cars 3, which to be honest with you I've not seen all the way through, but I do know there is a sort of demolition derby type scene, and in that scene the cars are racing around in demolition derby style, and Miss Fritter is a school bus known as the Diva of Demolition. So in this attraction, there is going to be a school bus-sized animatronic representing Miss Fritter, who I'm sure will be doing something, I'm not sure exactly what, but likely commentating or encouraging the participants in the rally, something like that. But it looks like you're riding in a car's version of a car, that you can spin around, and that you're on a demolition-style oval or round track. They might be using a trackless system for the movement of the cars. That's what it looks like in the artist representations of the attraction. And as I said, Miss Fritter is in the middle of this oval or this scene, and either observing or commentating. Basically, it's a spinning flat ride, that's how they're categorizing it. And so that makes me think of alien swirling saucers at Toy Storyland in Hollywood Studios, which is also a flat spinning ride. So it might be something like that, but it's not too clear yet. The other attraction in Piston Peak National Park is Cars Ridgerun Rally. And this is a racing attraction. The race commences through Piston Peak National Park and includes a climb up the peak of the icy covered mountaintop. After you reach the peak, you will plummet down the mountainside for a camelback descent, which kind of means like humps, right? Ups and downs in the track. And eventually you will transverse an exhilarating geyser field. And after you circle the old tankfull geyser, you will have a sprint to the finish where Lightning McQueen and Mater are commentating the race live on Racing Sports Network. There's supposed to be new ride vehicle technology for this one. Riding on this attraction will feel like an actual off-road experience as the vehicle wheels will actually be navigating over bumps and drops and rocks as it moves, so you'll feel the tires and the suspension reacting to the off-road conditions. And that's about all we know so far about Piston Peak National Park. Obviously, if your child or you yourself are a CARS fan, this is probably going to work for you. Also, maybe it will bring some nice nostalgia for you if you have visited American national parks and that kind of thing, or if you like that whole American West Frontier mythology, then this might resonate with you. But I'm sure they'll be releasing more information about this part of the park in the future. Now, if you're wondering when it's going to open, well nobody knows. They haven't really said exactly when it's going to open. I guess I'm imagining it will be late 2028, maybe early 2029. But they haven't yet released an opening date, probably because they're not far enough along yet to determine exactly when the opening date will be. And historically, Disney's not really the fastest in building an opening attractions. However, with Universal around building a brand new theme park, Epic Universe, and they keep on announcing new things, I think Disney's feeling the pressure, so I think they'll be moving a little faster than they used to.

Park Pulse: What is the Best Attraction at Universal Studios Orlando?

SPEAKER_00 10:04

Now speaking of Universal Studios, it's time for Park Pulse. In Park Pulse, I wanted to answer the question, which attraction is the best at Universal Studios Park in Universal Studios Orlando. You might remember, some of you might know, or if you don't, I'm going to tell you that there are three well, Universal will say four theme parks in Universal Orlando. So the original two are Islands of Adventure and Universal Studios. Those are the names of the two parks. Then they added Volcano Bay, which is a water park, which they say is another park. And then there is Epic Universe, which they opened last year. Now as I think about Universal Studios, I'm going to shortlist the attractions that I would consider. Here's my list. 1. Revenge of the Mummy. 2. Harry Potter and the Escape from Gringotts. 3. Transformers The Ride 3D. 4. Men in Black Alien Attack. 5. E.T. Adventure. 6. The Born Stentacular and 7. The Hollywood Horror Makeup Show. Which incidentally is closed right now for refurbishing. Now, um I'm going to shorten this list up a little bit. I want to tell you that The Born Spectacular and the Hollywood Horror Makeup Show are excellent shows. A lot of times when people go to theme parks, they don't really think of seeing the shows in a lot of cases. But those two, I would say they're not to be missed. They're both excellent. Now, as I said, they're retooling the Hollywood horror makeup shows, so it'll be different when they're done. But if it's anything like the first version, it's a great time. But when I'm thinking of announcing what I believe to be the best attraction in Universal Studios, I think I'm going to eliminate the shows. Just because I want to focus in on attractions. By the way, the Born Stuntacular is actually spectacular. I think it's really interesting. The stunts they do, the way they perform the stunts. It's visually very interesting, so you'll have to go see it to know what I'm talking about. But I'm eliminating the last two that were on my list, reducing this list to five. Transformers is on the list. Now, Transformers is what I would consider a typical universal ride. You're in a car that moves around. It's kind of like a dark ride. You're going through a show building, and you're in this car with 3D glasses, and you're moving basically from screen to screen. So they're using screen technology and 3D technology to create the story. But there are also physical props and so on around you, so it makes it better than just a screen ride. And I really did enjoy Transformers 3D. I always feel like I've saved the world when I get off the ride. But it's not completely memorable, and there really is a similar ride that I talked about the other day. The Amazing Spider-Man ride in Islands of Adventure, which is similar, and I think between the two I'd probably prefer the Amazing Spider-Man ride if I were going to ride one of those. So I'm going to leave Transformers off my list. Then there's E.T. I mentioned E.T., the E.T. Adventure. You may or may not remember the film E.T., it's a film from many years ago now, but it's a classic. And it is a Steven Spielberg film about an alien who gets lost on Earth and a little boy helps him out. And it's very touching. Sad at times, you want to cry. But also are very heartwarming. And when you get on this ride and you're in it, it gives you those same feelings of nostalgia. The ride's been around for a long time. It was, I believe, developed in association with Steven Spielberg. And what it is is you're basically getting on a bike that has a basket in the front where E.T. would be, and you're riding through the w earth, I guess in the forestry scenes and and the little town scenes that are part of the movie. And it's like you're flying over the town and over the forest. I don't remember the story exactly, you're trying to save or or retrieve something for E.T. But it's fun. And you're flying through the air. Very quaint. Lots of sights and sounds and smells that are very interesting. But it is an older style of ride and it's not up to the technical elements of newer rides and some of the details of the newer rides. So while I adore E.T. as a fun nostalgic trip, I can't really include it in the best ride in the park. So there goes that one. What about Men in Black? Well, Men in Black is actually very impressive in my mind. It's a very big show building, and the cue is very detailed, like you're in the Men in Black headquarters in the film. It's very much like walking into the movie set. The ride itself is another ride where you're in a car moving through physical props and physical sets that represent the streets of New York City. And you have a gun and you're targeting various objects of from scenery and aliens. They're appearing everywhere, popping out from behind trash bins, in windows, and there are targets you're supposed to shoot. And so it's kind of fun. It's a lot like Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger spin at Disney. I haven't ridden the refurbished Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger spin, which I hear is quite good, but so far in my mind, Men in Black outdoes Buzz Lightyear. It's a little grander in scale and lots of fun, the visuals are great. And of course, you like the physical sets and props. It's better than shooting at a screen. So I think it deserves a high ranking. It sometimes doesn't get the recognition it might deserve. But even though it gets the high ranking, it's still not enough to be my favorite. Moving on to Harry Potter and the Escape from Green Gods. Now that has an outstanding cue. That cue rivals the cue from Forbidden Journey, which I talked about the other day, where you're going through the Hogwarts Castle. In this case, you're going through the Gringotts Bank, and there's several levels to it. You're going on an elevator, you go through different rooms, and eventually you get into the bank vaults, which you ride through on a car. The details in the queue and the details in this ride are fantastic, and they are all reflecting scenes and ideas from the Harry Potter films. So Harry Potter fans are gonna love this. If you haven't been on it and you're a Harry Potter fan, I recommend you go check it out. The ride itself, though, relies a lot on screens, again. And one thing that really drives me crazy about the Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey ride is that the audio is not the greatest. Sometimes it's not clear, and so you can't hear exactly what they're saying, which makes it difficult to follow the story. However, there is one element I really like, and that is there's a drop-down on the track that's quite exhilarating and fun. You're sitting there and suddenly it drops out, drops you down real quick. Similar to the effect that is found in The Guardian's ride in in Wonder Mountain at Canada's Wonderland. Some of you might be familiar with that. So that's a fantastic ride, especially visually and especially for the Q elements. And it is fun. It's definitely one of the top rides in the park. But I haven't mentioned the mummy ride. And, you know, I might get some uh some glances, uh askew glances when I mention that I really like the mummy. Well, everybody likes the mummy. It's just that to say it's the best ride in the park, I think some people would be surprised, but that is where I'm going. I enjoyed that ride immensely. It has a very neat entrance. Looks like you're going into a a museum of uh archaeology kind of thing, or a museum of ancient civilization, and it represents all Egyptian imagery and so on. And going into the ride or into the queue itself, it feels like you're going into the catacombs and into the depths of, say, an Egyptian burial site. Great theming, all based on the mummy. Very creepy vibe, if you like that kind of thing. And I I do. And there's a very funny video that Brendan Fraser is in that introduces the ride, and then it also has an outro. When you get to the end of the ride, the video finishes. And uh again, a sense of humor and also playfulness in a horror context. So the ride is a roller coaster ride, basically, but it has various rooms that you enter where there are very interesting props, sometimes screen type things, but a lot of interesting physical effects as well. So, for example, there's a scene where there's fire that shoots across the ceiling, there's another scene where there's bugs all crawling around the walls, and so on. So visually it's really neat, there's a lot of different things going on. It's a fun coaster, it's got a great sense of humor, it's got a great vibe. Doesn't really get enough attention, I think. So when I considered all these rides that I'm mentioning, in the end, I think at Universal Studios, I would have to say that the Mummy Ride is my favorite. Again, that's called Revenge of the Mummy. Harry Potter and the Escape from Gringotts would be second probably, mainly because of the incredible cue. Alright, so if you're heading out to Universal Orlando at some point, you can check out those rides and see if you agree with me. And of course, I'm always open to your feedback. You are welcome to send me some fan mail or an email and explain your position or your opinion on what's the best ride in that park. I'd be happy to listen and engage in a conversation.

Cruise Contemplations: Norwegian's Great Tides Island Waterpark

SPEAKER_00 20:03

Now it's time for cruise contemplations. This month, Norwegian cruise lines opened up a new part of their private island. So Norwegian has a private island called Great Stirrup Key and it's in the Bahamas. Pretty much every cruise line has a private island that they will direct some of their ships to. It's uh it's a competition. As you know, I've mentioned it before, Royal Caribbean has perfect day, coco K. Or Coco Key. I have to say key in that case, you know, because key is spelled C-A-Y. Uh and day and C-A-Y have to rhyme, so you have to say K. But I guess officially it should be key. Perfect day, Coco Key. Anyway, that's a big debate. I never really know which one what what the correct answer is to whether it's K or Key. But I most often hear people mention keys. So I think this park called Great Tide Water Park is meant to compete with the water park that can be found on Coco Key, the Royal Caribbean cruise line island. At Great Stirrup Key now, at Great Tide Water Park, there are 19 water slides, eleven main attractions, plus eight kid friendly slides in the splash zone. In fact, there's four zones altogether in this water park Tidal Tower, Cliffside Cove, Wandering River, and Splash Key. In Tidal Tower, they have a 170-foot tower, which is the center point, with various slides built into it. For example, there is Breakwater Blasters, a tube water slide that is also kind of a roller coaster style water slide if you've ever been on one of those. I think there is a roller coaster style water slide in Great Wolf Lodge, if you've been there. There is Tropic Spiral and Tropic Storm, which are tube slides with very steep drops as well as backward movements and switches of direction during the ride. There's rapid mat racers, side by side racing slides with a digital timer at the bottom. So you can see who came in first and by what time. And there's Whitewater Dash, which is two body slides with straight down drops, and also there's a timer at the bottom of that as well. So more exhilarating rides in the whole tidal tower area. Cliffside Cove has an interesting feature. They have cliff jumping. It's called cliff jumps. And you jump off platforms that mimic cliff diving or cliff jumping, I shouldn't say diving. Cliff jumping. The platforms are 10 feet in the air and 15 feet in the air, and you jump from that platform into the deep pool below. There's a great slide, called the Great Slide. A family water slide that is a body slide and very wide so that up to four people can slide down it together, and again you could do some racing, I suppose. There's Fearless Falls, side by side body slides, you shoot out above the water in those. You think you're about five feet above the water, so you shoot out at the end of the slide, above the water, and then you fall in with a big splash. And there is a bar there too, to maybe muster up the courage to go down the Fearless Falls. It's called the Grotto Bar, and it's in a cave-like location, and you can help yourself to many different types of drinks. The Wandering River is the third area, and I think if you just hear the title, it makes you think of a lazy river, and that is what you'll find. An 800-foot, fast-flowing lazy river, which features a tunnel near the end with lighting effects, music, and animations. And also en route in this uh lazy river, uh partway through, there is another bar called the floataway bar that you can maybe take a little aside. You can go off the lazy river to the side, maybe have a few drinks, have some conversations, and then you can get back in the river. And finally, Splash Key is a children's area, 9,000 square feet of slides, climbing features, and other water features and spares, typical things you might find in a play area for your children. Then there is one of those giant buckets that's in every kid's water park that slowly fills up and then tips over and pours water out on everyone below. Now on the island or in this area, the water park area, there's also a buffet, plus the two bars I've already mentioned, plus a food truck area. So lots to eat there. And it's part of your cruise fare in most cases. I think there are elements you can buy or things that you can buy, but much of it would be covered by your cruise fare. There are also cabanas that you can rent, which accommodate about six people. Now, for this water park, there is a fee. The Perfect Day Coco Key is the same. You have to pay an extra fee to get into the water park. And according to what I read, the fee to get into the Norwegian water park is between $79.99 and $99.99 US dollars to get an entrance ticket. So you have to put a little extra money in there. Now, if your cruise stops at the island, a Great Stirrup Key, not everything on the island is something you pay for. You can still enjoy the island and various beaches on the island and so on without paying any money. But if you want to get into the water park area, well, it's an extra fee. And not all itineraries stop at the quay. So if you're interested, have a look at the Norwegian cruises and make sure that you book an itinerary that does stop at Great Stirrup Key. There are ships like the Getaway, Luna, and Epic that all make stops. You just have to have a look and see which ones stop there and when.

Canadian Compass Travel Tip of the Week: Government of Canada Travel and Tourism Page

SPEAKER_00 25:43

For the Canadian Compass Travel tip of the week, I just wanted to alert your attention to the Government of Canada travel and tourism page. Now that it can be found at travel.gg.ca travel.gc.ca. So this is a government site, and I just wanted to alert your attention to it because oftentimes I'll have a look at this site to get information. What you're going to find on the site for every entry, you can find the country that you're interested in, and there are six different areas that you can explore within that page about that country. So, for example, if I were going to Colombia, I could go to Columbia Travel Advice and get all this information with updates. It's updated frequently. And the things that are covered are risk levels, safety and security, entry and exit requirements, health, laws and culture, natural disasters and climate. So there's a lot of information there. And I think in particular, when I go there, I'm interested in entry and exit requirements. But all the other sections in there are pretty helpful. For example, there's a map of the country. And when you look at the map, I'm looking at the Columbia one right now as I'm talking to you. They have different regions that, you know, are evaluated in terms of security. So there's areas that are in red and it says avoid all travel. There are areas that say avoid non-essential travel. And there are areas where it says take normal precaution or exercise a high degree of caution. And each of these areas are colored and it gives you an idea of what parts of the country are considered to be safer than others, that kind of thing. I find it really useful, as I may have mentioned, to find the entry and exit requirements. So what do you need in terms of visa or passport, that kind of thing. The health section is interesting because it helps you to understand if there are things you should be aware of when it comes to vaccinations or just health when you're there. And laws and culture is great too, because you know each cult each country has its own social um mores and ways of behaving and so on. And sometimes you need to be aware of that, right? When you're in another country, you need to be aware of what the culture calls for so you don't inadvertently offend someone with your behavior or the activities that you're involved with, and so on. And climate's helpful too, right? You want to know, depending on what month you're going, what's the climate going to be like? What do I need to wear? That kind of thing. So if you go to that page, travel.gc.ca, and then you look at what's on that page in terms of your selections, you'll see a link that says all advice and advisories. And you can click on that, or above that is a field that says select a destination. And you select your destination, click on it, and press go. And then that will take you to the page about that country. So as you're anticipating traveling to a region, it's a great idea to check in on the Government of Canada travel and tourism pages to get the information you might need.

Deals Dish: Holland America Explorer Sale

SPEAKER_00 29:02

Now for Deals Dish, I wanted to mention the Holland America Explorer sale, which is coming up. And the dates for that sale are October the first to October the 7th. This is an Expedia Cruises sale, and it applies specifically to Holland America cruise lines. If you make a booking during the dates October 1st to 7th, what you're gonna get is some onboard credit, a reduced deposit, and crew appreciation paid for. So let's deal first with the onboard credit. You can get up to $650 USD of onboard credit per stateroom. Now, of course, it said up to, right? So in particular, it just depends on how many nights you're going and sometimes where you're going as to how much you're going to get. But typically, if you are going on a four to nine night cruise for an inside or ocean view stateroom, they're going to give you $150 USD of onboard credit. If you're in a balcony or above, you're getting $250 per stateroom of onboard credit. And then you can imagine if you're going for 10 to 12 nights, you're going to get more money. So if it's a 10 to 12 night cruise, you might get an inside an ocean view room and you'll get $250 USD of onboard credit, or if you have a balcony, it'll be $400 and more. And there's another price category for 13 nights. And then in addition to that, the pricing for Alaska is a little different. So if you're going on an Alaskan seven-night cruise for an inside cabin, you're getting $35 USD onboard credit. And if you're getting a balcony on an Alaskan cruise, you're getting $75 onboard credit. And there's more details there, which I won't read to you. I'm just trying to give you an idea of what you could expect. So you're getting the onboard credit. Also, there's this reduced deposit per person. It doesn't really reduce the amount of money you're going to pay in the end, but it does give you a little break on the wallet early on. So you can make a reservation simply for $99 a person during this sale. So if you're thinking of booking a cruise, you don't really have the money right now, but you have a little bit, you can put the deposit down, save some money on the deposit, and then start saving up for your final payment. Finally, in this sale, there is crew appreciation covered. So if you're going on a cruise, you pay your cruise fare, but all cruises have a mandatory gratuity that they charge to help the various people who help you to receive a little extra income, I guess. So it's like tipping, but it's mandatory. Now, if you just go on the cruise, at the end of the cruise, what you're going to find out is there'll be a bill for you where you have to pay your mandatory gratuities. You can also prepay these gratuities ahead of time, which a lot of people do, so you don't have to worry about it later. But if you book during this sale, the mandatory crew appreciation is covered for you. That's part of the discount, if you want to call it that. So the people who are supposed to receive the tips or the appreciation, they still get them. But it's not going to be added to your fare. It's all counted within your fare. Okay, so there are three different things you're going to get if you decide to book a Holland America cruise between the dates of August the 1st and August the 7th. So if you'd like to get more information on that, you're certainly welcome to email me, or you can check online. It's called the Holland America Explorer Sale.
