I was here about 15 years ago, it was great then but wow - look at it now! Excellent video and commentary - I learned new roller coaster terms I had never heard of - many thanks!
Hey Jeff - Glad you enjoyed it! This was my first visit to the park but it seems like they've been adding new attractions almost every year. There's a new thrill ride opening up this year as well as a new kids coaster and more to come in 2024 👍
The first ever rollercoaster I went on was the Dragon Fyre, my Mom told me it was great for beginners and there was nothing that would scare a 10 year old (at the time). I very quickly learned a life lesson: Don’t trust everything you’re told, even from those closest to you. Since that day, I’ve had PTSD from rollercoasters and rarely ever go on them
Dragon fyre was my first too and it got me hooked on coasters
Okchillazilla
Dude ur a wussy
It's was my first too lmao
same
The first roller coaster I got on was the wild beast, because my dad recommended it for beginners. (I was 10.) and I remember holding on for my life to the bar above my lap. ( it was the only constraint from me falling off.) Afterwards I just stayed in the kid section.
Same,but i was 8
That’s so relatable
I got a chance to visit there in 1999 and had a fantastic time riding everything that was available at that point - I definitely remember Top Gun / Flight Deck for that extra thrill of the legs dangling. The Wild Mouse brought back memories of the old one at Playland, when you always felt like you were about to ride straight off the rails in a turn.
Wild mouse at playland was so sketchy. You really felt like you could fall off at any moment!
I still think Yukon Striker was the best one. Especially when you are in the front row, that hang and then drop is awesome. Got to ride it 7 times in the last 40 minutes the park was open by using the single rider line and sprinting around after it was done.
What?! That's awesome!
I’m going to Canada wonderland Friday with my school🎉🎉 SOO excited 😮😮
I went on wendesday, June 12.
Wait are u in my school? I was just there friday with my school!!
The Leviathan is you only have a bottom seatbelt and thigh restraint. You hit zero Gs so if you have your arms up you lift out of your seat and you are effectively flying. That drop straight down while being on the front. Then when you reach that snappy bend over the parking lot. You feel that half second whip of flying right out. Yukon Striker is insanely fun, especially that drop. But you feel to safe on it imo with the shoulder restraints.
Also shame they closed SkyRider. That was the only coaster without seats. You stood up on it. The amount of restraints was wild to keep you in going through those loops!
I love both of them!
That one terrified me, but made myself do it, and then we went on a few more times. Bought myself a keychain to remind me I can face my fears, and to save money to go back lol 💜
Yukon striker hands down, but leviathan and behemoth for facing my fear of massive coasters like that with just a lap bar. Plus it’s pretty cool that we can ride some of the best in the world coasters here in Canada
SkyRider was awesome 😢
ive been going top this park since 1987, always blow away how much has changed and how many rides have come and gone, for me Dragon Fyre will always be my fav, it was my first looper and everytime i got to Wonderland its my first and last ride :3
Alright, here's my ranking of the top 5:
1. Minebuster
2. Vortex
3. Backlot Stunt Coaster/The Italian Job
4. Flight Deck/Top Gun
5. Wilde Beast
Lots of people don't like Minebuster because it's so bumpy. I actually find the roughness to be part of the appeal. It makes it feel old and rickety (granted, it IS old) when the whole pull of wooden coasters is that rickety we're-gonna-die-when-was-the-last-time-this-thing-was-inspected feeling.
I was there when I was about 6-7 and I'm going back while visiting family in Peterborough. I don't remember much from my last visit other than crying from the Ghoster Coaster...seeing some of these rides makes me so exited to finally go back!
I love the Time Warp, it’s my favourite ride! (Probably because I haven’t gone on any big drop roller coasters)I was sad that it was last but I knew people don’t really like it. I have never gotten any neck pain/headaches etc. That might be why it’s my favourite.😊
Mine was Wonder Mountains Guardian.
The 30 feet drop was insane...
My home park. I have many favorites. Yukon has a loop cause of the coaster that used to be there. Skyrider, a stand up. Heehee! Spinebuster, I call it kneebuster. But I love it.
Brother I use to go there every year when I was little(went on the small rides). I have grown up and finally went on the big boy rides. I screamed my guts out. Nearly cried. Behemoth and Leviathan were crazy but! After this video I wanna go again even tho I went 3 days ago and neck still hurting. Very good video. Subscribed
I really want to visit Canada's Wonderland someday. Playland used to have a Wild Mouse ride and it was the best. It is sad that it is gone.
I remember the Playland wild mouse very well. It looked so rickety. Was always scared of falling off!
I first went to Wonderland when it first opened when I was 10 or 11 - it was my first amusement park and I rode every ride. In my teens and early 20s I loved to see concerts there at Kingswood Amphitheatre located inside the park. We'd go to the park, have a little fun, hang out in the beer tent and then go to the concert - great times!
We are both old 😞 😂
@@spittinvenom9843 You want old, take a look at the bands we used to go watch there - the ones that are still alive, anyway!
Many great bands played at kingswood theatre. I wish they put on concerts again. Rides during the day, concert at night? Hard to beat that.
In the same boat as you all...
Saw Samantha Fox there lol
@@VitoC. I hardly knew a guy my age that didn't have her poster!
funny how rough Flight Deck and Time Warp are both known for being mega-rough rides but your voice and the background music seem like a positive business move. 😂
Hah - Wasn't trying to endorse them for a smooth ride. They're still at the bottom of my list 🤣
been there done that Yukon Leviathan and Behemoth :) wow !!!
the first ride i ever went on their was the Leviathan, I thought it was gonna be an easy walk in the park but as soon as I got in the seat oh was I wrong. I have now been scared to death from that ride now but I still go on it!
First time went on Yukon Striker this year, such an amazing roller coaster, takes your breath away literally!
That drop.....
Good to know...been on all except that one. Time to go back
This is my home park. I remember going there as a kid and teen in the 90s. Always enjoyed it. This year, I've introduced this place to my two boys age 5 and 7, and they are addicted to this place 😂. They are roller coaster junkies in the making lol. We have a season pass and already purchased next year's passes. We absolutely love it here. I can't wait to experience the bigger coasters with them as they try them. This place is a Must visit if you are visiting Ontario. Snoopy racing railway is a favorite for the kiddos, and Thunder run, Backlot stunt are top 3 for them. This is a great review of the park coasters!
There's so much to do at the park! Took us two days just to hit all the coasters and didn't even make a dent in all the flat rides. We could have spent more time there for sure!
Just got my 2024 season pass and already planning a 2nd time to go this year. Love it there!
Love this!! Great idea!! Such a cool place!!
The Great Canadian Spine Buster hahaha that was funny
i agree except for top 5.
5. Backlot
4. Vortex
3. behemoth
2. Leviathan
1. Yukon striker
I absolutely love silver streak ❤️😭 I’m not a roller coaster person. I love all the other rides but not roller coasters. But silver streak is just different. I don’t know if it’s because of the seats making me feel really safe but I just love it.
I rode the leviathan in 2012. Me and the guys were adrenaline crashing after. That 300 foot climb to a 90 degree drop is wild
It’s not 90 but whatever
I don’t know if I exactly 100% agree with your list (big surprise) but a lot of it I do. All of your bottom ones are so uncomfortably aggressive. On time warp, I wasn’t even off the ride and was thinking this might give me a concussion. I think I hit my head 30+ times, on that death trap.
Vortex, I didn’t have a great experience with either, but if what you said is true (that every car is unattached and provides a different ride experience) I might have had a bad one.
Also, the bat made me so motion sick when I was riding it, I felt fine beforehand but I couldn’t stomach the reverse flips and generally I don’t have bad motion sickness.
My first was flight deck, it was rough but i was hooked after and went to yukon striker right after
Love Yukon Striker - That drop into the tunnel 😆
the thrills on taxi jam are unbeatable
It's pretty wild!
MY FAV RIDE IS LEVIATHAN
Time warp had me crying😅
Probably not in a good way ☹️
My head still hurts just thinking about Top Gun (Flight deck)... the first roller coaster I ever went on. That was a poor choice.
Behemoth was fun, and because of nostalgia I actually prefer it over Leviathan.
... but nothing there beats riding Thunder Run with someone special to you. Great roller coaster... even for people that are not really into roller coasters.
Maybe not the best choice for first coaster! Glad it didn't stop you from trying other ones 😀
IM THERE!!!!
Cheers!
Best wonderland video I've ever seen! Wow they have some great coasters don't they!
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it! The amazing thing is that the coasters are only a small part of the park. I could do a whole other video on flat rides, but it took me two full days just to get in all the coasters!
I went on the Ghoster Coaster today
Fun!
@@ExitThrutheGiftShopI am REALLY scared of roller coasters 😢
@@ExitThrutheGiftShopIt took my friends a long time to convince me to get on it.
@@ExitThrutheGiftShopI feel sick very easily 😅
@@ExitThrutheGiftShopthank you so much for sharing ❤
The fly was 100% the scariest
I was a baby when I went the 1st year Wonderland opened. Then I went almost every year growing up. This week I'm going with my 18 year old son and I'm just as excited as I was when I was 12 😅
I was on a good few of this earlier this summer, Yukon Striker was my favourite
the first roller coaster I went on was flight deck… my head came out of the seat thing and I ended up bruising the side of my face on it 🥲🥲
Ugh. It's rough alright.
3 behemoth 2 leviathan 1 yokon striker
I could be convinced!
My first time i went to wonderland i went on minebuster and can agree my back hurt for a day after that. Went there again last year and went on leviathan and yukon striker for the first time, and can say ive never clenched onto the seat tighter in my life, ofc as a 19 year old would do
The difference is both those are fast and tall but very smooth. I much prefer that style of coaster as I get older!
La Ronde has 2 inverted coasters and the infamous Le Monstre, and is the largest wooden coaster in Canada and the tallest racing wooden coaster in the world.
Fun Fact: La ronde in montreal also has an slc (SLC = the exact same thing as flight deck) dubbed "Ednor: L'attaque"
Yukon striker is the best done it 3 times and it has lines for single which made easy to do 3 times in no time
What a great over view! Seems like an exciting place 😎Jenn
While I don’t think it’s a smooth ride, I stand by my opinion that time warp is a much smoother ride than flight deck. When I ride flight deck it feels like I could actually die lmao. and the barrel rolls where you face the sky on time warp are pretty fun
Vortexes probably my favourite
I have a story to tell and it’s pretty funny
So we all know that Minebuster is one of the fastest rides in Canada’s Wonderland and it was my first time and I went with my family and friends and we all thought it was a little slow train but no when we went on it we realized the huge mistake we made 😂 but it was really fun 🤩 I love Canada’s Wonderland ❤
Last one was best
Looks like they have some fun ones 👍😎
A few are not to be missed for sure!
Just watching some of these coasters is nerve rattling, can't imagine actually riding them!
We were able to get on all of them last visit but it took two full days. The line for Leviathan was huge!
I rid all of them
They’re so fun
im 13 and went on the Leviathan the first plummet at 200 feet was so scary and your body will feel like its levitating and ur about to be shot into space, then u go through the other drops after being traumatized but its so fun
They’re really fun
Excellent review, great video. I’ve been going to Wonderland since it opened in ‘81. Sadly it’s home to the worst two coasters ever built: Flight Deck and Time Warp. MCMB and WB used to be too woodies that threw you out of your seat but have not aged well, Ghoster Coaster is wonderful!!!! Technically WB is pronounced Wildebeest like the animal although at one time renamed to Wild Beast but since reverted, now Wilde Beast
I just went on it yesterday. It's Wild Beast bro, and it was fine man. Enjoyably rough more like it. Flight Deck or Top Gun is so dope fym?? A lil rough on the head if you don't tuck it back but w/e
@@RandyDrayton Wilde with an E again, the statue of the animal in front is pretty cool but not original from opening, FD and TW should be dumped in favour of a ground up RMC
LoL - I read about the name changed with Wildebeast and got a bit mixed up on the current correct pronunciation 😂
@@ExitThrutheGiftShop I’m more critical of my home park than all others, imho it is mid tier park that had a chance to be top tier.
Here's What i'm riding at wonderland this season:
Coasters: Yukon Striker, Behemoth, Leviathan, Dragon Fire, Minebuster, Wild Beast, Thunder Run, Vortex, Ghoster Coaster & Silver Streak
Thrill Rides: Tundra Twister, Sledge Hammer, Psyclone, Shockwave, Klockwerks, Drop Zone, knightmares, The rage, Spinovator, Lumberjack, Soaring Timbers & Riptide
Family Rides: Krachenwagen, Antique Carousel, Character Carousel, Ghost Blasters, Flying Canoes & Flying Eagles
Water Rides: White water canyon & Timberwolf falls
Cya at the park Summer 2023!
Canada's Wonderland is huge! I didn't even have time to enjoy the flat rides last visit because I wanted to get in all the coasters 😀
@@ExitThrutheGiftShop i manage to get in a decent day of thrills whenever i visit
We are hoping to make it to Canada either this year or next year. My oldest Addison would love these places. I like coasters just not the ones that only spin. The flying one would be something I would like. Every time I see coasters I think of doing Roller Coaster Tycoon back in the day.
This hit me at Sea World a few years ago - I was on a ride with my daughter that would have been no problem when I was younger, but I sat there turning green and waiting for the ride to stop while she kept screaming with delight! I hear that as you get older your sense of balance changes so some people become more susceptible to motion sickness. Nowadays I definitely prefer fast and smooth riders rather than spinning ones!
the sudden stop at the end of vortex gave me a concussion
No! That's terrible!
Woah Woah Woah Yukon b4 behemoth
6:39 We also have coined it the The Mind Buster because of how much your head gets tossed around.
Also accurate!
I love time wamp
To me: Yukon striker is my best friend!
Great pick!
behemoth is definatly my favorite
Leviathan
Taxi jam, snoopy’s racing railway
Canada Wonderland needs to start to replace some of the old coasters that are too bumpy with new coasters. I really think keeping the older ones hurts the experience for people and the return rate is much lower due to this.
why is it that on all of the wooden rides, it has a warning saying “do not stand up”???? Like who the hell is standing up on the wooden coasters???
One time on a local wooden coaster I witnessed two teenagers undo their safety restraints right before the first drop. I yelled at them in panic and they got it done up just in time. So apparently there are people out there that are willing to do dumb things.
I’m going here for my first ever visit in July! I can’t wait! Im definitely gonna do a few of the big coasters but not really sure of doing leviathan
It's big and fast but very smooth! I preferred it to a lot of the classic coasters 👍
Try flight deck
@@karansngh565 I might, I heard it’s not comfortable and there’s a lot of shaking and stuff
@@BEA6H yes it does shake your head around but its fun. Flight deck and vortex are my favourites
@@BEA6Ht’s not fun. It’s very shaky and it goes very ROUGH. I recommend going on another coaster and not wasting your time there.
Edit: flight deck not vortex
Vortex is amazing
My first roller coaster was the leviathan but favourite is definitely the Yukon striker
Both are so much fun!
Favorite coaster at Wonderland is Leviathan but I have a soft spot for Vortex. It still holds up incredibly well despite it's age and might be my number 2. 3rd and 4th would be Yukon and Behemoth
Leviathan is the best ride i have ever trieddd
I just went to it yesterday I went on every ride
Wow! The lines must have been good - it took us two days to get on all the coasters when we went!
yukon striker is my fave
Leviathan is of course the best ride at Wonderland and in North America
the biggest rides ive been on are vortex, wilde beast, and dragonfyre. What is the next step to get over my fear of coasters
The First Roller Coaster I have been in is Wilde Beast,It was kind of shaky but i enjoyed it:)
I'm only watching this because I'm going on June 27th
Behemoth is nuts... and so is Yukon,
My fav ride at Canadas Wonderland is Dragon Fyre
Nice!
Leviathan was the most terrifying roller coaster I ever been on. I thought I could handle it but as soon as we dropped from the top it was sheer terror for the entire ride! I felt traumatized after it. That was my first and last ride on it ever. Never again! ...But, my bf was laughing and enjoying himself the whole time. He said it was cool and fun. He loved going on it so much he went on it again!
Very cool channel!
Hey thanks! Glad you found me :)
We are in canada 🇨🇦 it’s kilometres per hour
Lol, I'll never call flight deck that. It will always be top gun to people who have been going to Wonderland since that ride was opened. I feel like some rides are missing on this... For example, how did you exclude drop zone or drop tower, whatever they call it now a days lol. Psyclone is another crazy one that I feel should be on the list.
Time warp in my opinion is terrible. They used to have one there called SkyRider - that should've stayed above time warp. Although, considering skyrider was replaced with Yukon Striker, I'd say they made a good choice.
My top 5 would be: Leviathan, Yukon, Behemoth, Top Gun, Minebuster
18 roller coasters
Up to 18 now - Snoopy's Racing Railway opened in May 2023!
Vortex is my favorite coaster very unique experiance
Behemoth is my favorite so far (i havent been on yukon striker but leviathan is really rough on the first drop
I reccomend the last 3 rides on this list
All great choices!
The first ever i went on is the yukon striker
I didnt know Canada has theme parks. This is really fun. Full watch. LIKE 16. 👍👍👍
There aren't many because of the weather so all of them run seasonally. It must be hard to afford maintenance on a park that's only open half the year!
I just went to canada's wonderland today a while ago and when i went on the vortex and Leviathan I lost my voice for screaming that much sadly yukon wasnt working and behemoth wasnt to
Oh no! I guess it's start of the season, but you'd think those major rides would be ready to go. Hope you still had a great time,!
I went to wonderland in class groups and the first ride ive ever done was leviathan
Wow! That's a big ride to start with, but one of the best!
yep!@@ExitThrutheGiftShop
My fav is dragon fyre
Me and my cousin went on ghoaster coaster and his seatbelt came undone and we had to hold him done and he was screaming but he was ok lol
Zamperla brand is a reputable brand of ride manufacturers! I grew up on rides made by them and they are still in operation!
My brother calls mine buster back Buster
He's not wrong
Leviathan was my first roller coaster experience yesterday 💀
I had a gig playing a show on the diving stage near Leviathon and we'd have a gap between show time and the park opening. I remember everynight when the park opened we'd rush over to Leviathon and be the first ones to ride it. It was like a pre show ritual. Fun times.
Awesome!
When I went to Canadas wonderland when I was 14 I remember getting a headache and I had to sit out on a lot of the rides after smashing my head around on time warp. The ride is abysmal
It's a rough one for sure. Head banging on roller coasters is no fun.
I would like dive coasters better if they had the old B&M restraints because of my thighs, but they are still fun
The drop and sweeping loop on Yukon Striker are pretty amazing!
I went on the drangon flyer when i was a jounoir and the people with me because they knew i hated roller coster and wild beast
Wildebeast
I went on the fly and one time my belt was unbuckled and my lapbar was barely touching my lap, I was lucky I survived
