Hi. Canada's Wonderland is my home park. I'm love it so much. I know the woodies are rough but I love them. I'm glad you enjoyed your time at our park. Did you have a funnel cake. Yummy. I enjoyed your video. Thank you 😊.
I think this park had the most underrated coaster collection I’ve experienced. There are some bad coasters, but rides like Minebuster, Bat, and Wonder Mountain are ones I really enjoy that others seem to hate.
I've been going to this park since 1998 and can't wait to visit in June for the 2022 season this year, thank you for giving your appreciation towards my #1 favorite amusement park in all of Canada!
As a kid growing up this park was a big part of my childhood. Now as an adult with a season pass adjusting post Covid find can visit and each day can create a different day that I want to to and never boring. Yes there are some key rides will always want to ride but each ride especially the ones from my childhood make my day with so many memories
I'm going to be honest, (this is coming from someone who's extremely skinny and 4'11, so this is my experience) time warp and flight deck weren't that bad. The only problem I had with time warp was that I was scared of falling out, so I ended up pushing back so much I bent my knees backwards, tho I could say the same thing for knight mares. Flight deck is also one of my favorites! The rides ended up closing for a bit because of the rain, and I was one of the first people on flight deck so I was terrified especially after I heard what people had to say about it. I'm happy to say I loved it! There was a bit of head banging, but I just kept my head back and it was extremely fun. Now, I have a problem with two rides and it kinda makes sense since they both have the same restraints. Dragon's fyre and the bat. I really like the bat but I had a crap ton of headbanging on it, and don't even get me started on Dragon's fyre. After Dragon's fyre my ears were sore for the rest of the day. But as I said before, it depends on you. My dad had no head banging whatsoever on Dragon's fyre, the bat, and Flight deck, and he actually found them extremely smooth. If it helps, he's 6'3. If you want my say tho, my top 4 are Vortex, Behemoth, Yukon, and Leviathan (in that order).
Yes this is Canadas best amusement park, but its competition is marineland and la ronde, soooo it's not tough to beat. There's also galaxyland which is good, but no one know even knows that edmenton is a place, so yea
I'm from Edmonton and I personally really enjoy Galaxy Land! The big coaster there, the mindbender, was the first real coaster I ever rode on, it was a great first experience (kinda scary though since it malfunctioned and several ppl died riding it in the 80s and my bf decided to remind me of this fact just before my first ride 😅). Also the little haunted house they have there is surprisingly graphic, really well done actually. No actors, just very detailed creepy and macabre rooms. Whats also cool is that its part of our crazy huge mall and is attached to one of the food courts so you don't have to spend a lot on overpriced theme park food, you can hit up mcdonalds or wherever
Been here so many times and I decided recently to get the fast lane pass for the first time and honestly I will never go without it again. I hit behemoth 3 times in 30 minutes when it usually takes 30 minutes just to get to the front of the line. I was actually able to hit a majority of the rides before 5 pm and I had an absolute blast. It is expensive but if you’re going to be there from open to close I highly recommend the purchase especially if you’re with friends.
An unfortunate thing about Canada and RMC is that I believe there's a stupid Canadian law that prevents companies other than the manufacturer company to make major modifications to roller-coasters (or something along those lines) meaning to RMC wilde beast they'd have to completely demolish it and just build a new coaster which at that point is probably more hassle than it's worth.
This is false. RMC can still design and manufacture the ride, but they would need to hire Canadian workers to build it, unless they can somehow prove that only their own workers from the USA are capable of building it.
For most American guests I would argue using your credit card is cheaper / easier then exchanging currency. Even if your card charges you a fee (mine does but its ridiculously small) this fee is ALWAYS less than the Niagara region money changers. If you do plan a trip the only way to get Canada dollars cheaper is planning in advance and doing it through the banks.
My home park. I've been going since the early 1980's (ha, yeah, I'm 43 :p). There are some coasters there that I just won't ride anymore (Time Warp, Flight Deck, Fly), but some that get hate, such as Dragon Fyre, Bat, Minebuster, I still love. Especially Dragon Fyre - I'll always have a soft spot since it was my first major coaster, and the one that I had to become brave enough to ride. Like many say, let's RMC Wilde Beast, tear out Flight Deck and Time Warp, and keep the coasters coming. My favourite flat ride is Sledgehammer, but I really do love them all. Passholder's Preview day in 2 days! I can't wait (if you couldn't tell lol).
I'm like you, been going since the 80s (39). I also have a specific love for dragon fyre. I remember in the late 90s when some of the newer rides were being introduced. If you got there early enough people would totally ignore dragon fyre and you could go on several times in a row. I miss those days.
They're killing it when it comes to the flat rides. They're doing fine there. Yeah I'd say tear down both Time Warp and Flight Deck and replace it with a large Intamin LSM coaster, similar to Red Force or Soaring with Dragon. I'm sure they can find a way to fit it into the Grand World Expo theme. I think the general public still somehow likes Flight Deck and Time Warp enough but those two rides have to be more expensive to operate compared to Wilde Beast, right? I'd say, take care of those two first for 2024 and then they can just retrack Wilde Beast a bit more in the meantime. Then maybe we can get an RMC treatment for Wilde Beast in 2027.
Honestly i think that this is an amazing park they just need to rmc wilde beast and replace flight deck and time warp with a intamin or a mack multi launch
This is my home park and I really like it, but there are many things we can add. Two things that would help is adding a Intamin LSM blitz in time warps and the amphitheatre spot, then RMC Wilde beast! Those two coasters would make our park top 5! Other than that I loved Thai review
bro i dont even want to comment but as soon as you said wild E beast i freaked out BECAUSE HOLY SHIT AN AMERICAN TH-camR ACTUALLY PRONOUNCED IT RIGHT HOLY SHIT LEGEND I LOVE YOU and also when you said like the wooden coasters should be revamped now there's actually a reason why they don't revamp it is because wilde beast and mighty canadian backbuster and dragon fyre are all opening day coasters so they will never do it
I love this park. The top 3 coasters are amazing, all in my top 6 overall. The supporting lineup definitely isn’t the best, but I think a few of them are underrated and only two are actually very bad. The flat ride collection is amazing too.
Canadas Wonderland definitely could be a world class park if they rounded out the bottom of their line up. Same with Carowinds. They’re almost in the same league as Cedar Point, and I hope they get there.
On a completely unrelated note I rode ice breaker in SeaWorld orlando on Monday ,when I got to the station the ride broke down at the station for 8 minutes and the ride ops didn’t know what was wrong but it was working after
I think Canada's Wonderland said if they were to work with RMC, they would build from the ground up. I don't think theyre going to reuse the wooden coasters, imo i think thats a good thing cuz Leviathan is technically a prototype for the B&M Giga, and it was met with critical acclaim by the public; so RMC could potentially do something of the same idk. but it would be cool to see them do that!
I agree with just about everything you said (except did I hear you rate Super Flight above Time Warp?? 😳). My only complaint was that this was the worst park for line jumping I’ve encountered by far - it was everywhere! - but I had a great experience at this park. And yes, it needs at least a day and a half to hit all the credits and get some re-rides.
Great review. Just one nitpick, Wilde Beast is pronounced "Wild Beast", not "Wildebeest". The "e" is there because it's the theming of the area it's in.
It was originally named "Wilde Beast", from 1981 to 1996, when it was renamed to "Wild Beast" in 1997. The ride was reverted to its original name in 2019. It is one of the five roller coasters that debuted with the park in 1981.
I went to Canada's Wonderland way back in the 1980s when I was a kid. Only thing I really remember from it is some jackhole clown kept dropping juggling pins and wanted me to pick them up. I got frustrated and walked away.
I have a question about payment. Now that all Cedar Fair parks only accept credit or debt cards, does it no longer matter whether you have Canadian or American cash on hand when visiting?
Hello. Question for you if you don't mind. I live in Maryland and am planning a first time trip to Six Flags New England and Lake Compounce. I was going to spend a day at Six Flags, like 8 hours and like 4 hours at Lake Compounce. Does that sound good or do I need more or less time at each? Thanks sooo much!!!
Not going to lie, I had a bad experience when I was there. I only had one day, and could only get on Leviathan once because of crowds. I also couldnt get all the credits. Between searching for all credits and riding some crappy rides and family coasters it was not enjoyable. I really need to get back here and experience them again and give the park another chance, I just dont know the next time I'll get there😂
I love flight deck its not as bad as everyone says just keep your head foward and then its awesome if you keep your head back then you will feel like your bleeding out of your ears lol
Canada's wonderland cant rmc any rides. People need to know that Canada's wonderland new ceo said it would be ground up. I wish wilde beast got rmcd :(
Nonsense. 3 top tier coasters, good support cast, more flat rides than ANY park (incl Cedar Point). Only negative is no real space to grow so need to tear something down soon.
i think quassy is canada’s best amusement park
😭
how
No

I had a pleasant experience with many coasters here that tend to get a lot of hate.
Yup I think this park can hold its own against any US park and I have often argued bang for the buck it even rivals Cedar Point
Minebuster is my favourite wood coaster in the park, just be careful not to get a concussion!
@@transportationland6395 this year minebuster is running incredibly smooth especially if you sit in a non wheel seat
“And it has a surprise at the end but I wont spoil it” immediately spoils it with the footage 😂😂
😭😭

It’s seriously a special park

Edmonton is not a place ;p haha
Isn't Edmonton in Alaska? :P

This park is like a typical nba super team. 3 super stars and no bench

Time Warp is NOT a Vekoma coaster. It is made by Zamperla.
My bad. Not sure why that slipped out 😅

quick tip: wilde beast is pronounced wild beast, it has the e at the end for the medieval theming towards it.

You forgot Thunder Run! Or did I miss that?
Nice video man. Looking to get out there this year!
Thanks Adam, it’s an amazing park
I love this park. The top 3 coasters are amazing, all in my top 6 overall. The supporting lineup definitely isn’t the best, but I think a few of them are underrated and only two are actually very bad. The flat ride collection is amazing too.
Agree and Agree 🙏🏻
Most of the support are under rated, I have no idea where this mindset that wood = bad and all coasters need to glide smooth comes from.
Canadas Wonderland definitely could be a world class park if they rounded out the bottom of their line up.
Same with Carowinds. They’re almost in the same league as Cedar Point, and I hope they get there.
On a completely unrelated note I rode ice breaker in SeaWorld orlando on Monday ,when I got to the station the ride broke down at the station for 8 minutes and the ride ops didn’t know what was wrong but it was working after
I did all the coasters and all the flat rides eccept for the planet snoopy and kidzvile ones
It’s very high on my bucket list (of we do a Canadian GP/Indy 500/Coaster trip)
I think Canada's Wonderland said if they were to work with RMC, they would build from the ground up. I don't think theyre going to reuse the wooden coasters, imo i think thats a good thing cuz Leviathan is technically a prototype for the B&M Giga, and it was met with critical acclaim by the public; so RMC could potentially do something of the same idk. but it would be cool to see them do that!

I think depending on what cart you go on minebuster is how smooth you go and I think the orange one is smoother? I can’t remember loll
This is Silver Streak erasure! 😂 just kidding - but I do love that ride, even though it’s a family coaster.
I have a question about payment. Now that all Cedar Fair parks only accept credit or debt cards, does it no longer matter whether you have Canadian or American cash on hand when visiting?
The true definition of spinsanity
I wonder what Wilde Beast's RMC name would be..
-Wilde Steel
-Iron Wilde Beast
-Wicked Beast
-Steel Tusk
-Steel Boar
-Brazen Bull
-Iron Beast
Steel Boar is pretty cool 😎
Is it getting Rmc’d?
How about twisted beast (even though that is very sixflags thing to be lazy and just add the word twisted or wicked at the beginning
They need to keep Beast or maybe Boar in the name because of the historic wild boar statue at the entrance, that opened with the park.
Hello. Question for you if you don't mind. I live in Maryland and am planning a first time trip to Six Flags New England and Lake Compounce. I was going to spend a day at Six Flags, like 8 hours and like 4 hours at Lake Compounce. Does that sound good or do I need more or less time at each? Thanks sooo much!!!
I think that’s totally fine if you’re just going for the roller coasters. Have a great time!
It’s called Wilde beast
Not going to lie, I had a bad experience when I was there. I only had one day, and could only get on Leviathan once because of crowds. I also couldnt get all the credits.

You can’t just spend one day at this park. too many others make the same mistake haha
me being 20 minutes away from this park :)
It was better during the 80's'-90's back when Hanna-Barbera ran the show.
Cool
I love flight deck its not as bad as everyone says just keep your head foward and then its awesome if you keep your head back then you will feel like your bleeding out of your ears lol
I live only an hour away from wonderland😂
Good video.
I went there and I thought that the only good coasters were the b&m and the rest were rough or boring except for back lot stunt coaster
Going next year 2023
Canada's wonderland cant rmc any rides. People need to know that Canada's wonderland new ceo said it would be ground up. I wish wilde beast got rmcd :(
They could still tear down Wilde Beast and create an RMC redo.
@@CoasterDash omg i forgog about that. Thanks. Hope u uad a great time at Canada's wonderland
Will the beast💀💀💀
Top gun is an awesome coaster. Wtf are you talking about?
It may be the best amusement park in Canada, but, imo, it only ranks 6th in the Cedar Fair chain.
I argue 3rd or 4th, because of their sheer quantity of coasters, which other than maybe two bad ones, are all decent and fun
I definitely disagree. this is my 2nd favorite CF parks above Carowinds, Kings Dominion, and Knotts. note I haven’t been to KI yet.
Nonsense. 3 top tier coasters, good support cast, more flat rides than ANY park (incl Cedar Point). Only negative is no real space to grow so need to tear something down soon.
@@robcav8747 Calm down fanboy I said imo, and no, they supporting cast sucks.
Leviathan is better than steel vengeance
Don't make me break my foot off in you lol
@@ThousanWhite I love leviathan
Leviathan is great but it’s no steel vengeance
