Is this new or just overlooked.

A parade seems very odd for CP. They at least used to take great pride in being an Amusement Park, not a theme park.

I think that prides mostly comes from being able to claim the most popular amusement park rather than 14th in North America.

I think that prides mostly comes from being able to claim the most popular amusement park rather than 14th in North America.

Or the fact that nothing about them even kind of attempts to have a theme. Their most enthusiastic fans also prefer them being an amusement park. They are also the number 1 park, amusement, theme or otherwise in the country that is not open year round.

Super interesting list, although I think I have a different definition of 'dark ride' than they do.

Yeah...just because it's "dark" in parts doesn't make it what I would consider a classic dark ride!

I guess it just depends on the definition of dark ride. Does it have to be slow moving or can it be fast?

I guess either because then there wouldnt be some called "slow-moving dark rides"

I think the key to a dark ride is that you are in a vehicle that is led along a desired path and your view is directed in a guided direction to various show scenes ... so as long as a ride does that, it doesn't matter what speed it goes at.
