Canada's Wonderland is a
theme park owned by
Paramount in
Vaughan,
Ontario. Many years ago this park wasn't owned by a huge
corporation but by a private company that
maintained a cast of plush
Hanna-Barbera characters as well as cartoon themed rides and a
Smurf Village.
Since Canada's Wonderland has an
artificial mountain on its
landscape, it was alluring to Paramount when the
park went up for
sale.
Paramount has
since stripped the park of its
previous identity except for the
funnel cakes. Everything has the
word 'Paramount' on it or spoken with it now. Hanna-Barbera Land is gone. So is Smurf village, and stupid
TNG characters walk around instead of the plush
Scooby Doos that used to.
