On September 15th, the members of ISA Toronto and their families had the opportunity to gobehind the scenes at Canada’s Wonderland and see how their favourite attractions worked.
The first half of the tour took a look at the workings of Wonderland’s newest attraction, Leviathan .
The second half showed off Splash Works which was closed for the season, and allowed for full and unimpeded access. The tour started off by taking a look at the water quality control system, and then moved over to the wave control system for the pool, where thanks to three 100hp compressors, the park can generate up to 80 different combinations of waves.
The tour was a great opportunity to look behind the scenes, and an eye opener for many members. ISA Toronto member and Centennial College student Adam Conner put it best when he mentioned:
“I was expecting to see more specialized equipment for the rides, but much of what I see here isn’t any different from what we work with in class”.
ISA Toronto would like to thank everyone that came out and hopes to see everyone at future meetings!
