Coaster reviews

Nice surprise! Headbanging Too short

Decided to check this coaster out when I had time to kill. i remember my peers raving about this coaster as well as Ghoster Coaster way back in eighth grade. its nice to be able to ride a suspended coaster at Canadas Wonderland that doesn't throw my skull around like a tether ball but its not a whole ton more comfortable than Flight Deck. I assumed it was gonna be slow and boring, and although it is CERTAINLY not a thrill ride, i was surprised at how sudden the twists and turns were. Definitely a good ride for young enthusiasts who are tough. If you have time to kill and dont care about wandering into the kiddie area, then sure check it out. Above all, it is a family coaster do don't expect to be blown away.

Theming Masterpiece Hangtime

I would die for Yukon Striker. The theming is absolutely adorable, and the baggage transport system? Chef's kiss!! There is absolutely no reason why they had to make it as creative as they did, but they did it. And it's so cute. When you line up to get into a train, you place your bags into these boxes that travel along a track, reminiscent of a mine transport system, and the bags travel along the track, and meet you at the exit on the other side of the station!! It's brilliant and makes it so that guests getting off aren't pushing through guests getting on to grab their bags, and vice versa. And I haven't even talked about the actual coaster yet!! I genuinely appreciate the over-the-shoulder restraints, just don't clench your arms too hard on the first drop, or you WILL push the restraint down into your body too hard and it will hurt when you pull back into the station and have to wait until you're released. Speaking from personal experience. I love how you hang right over the edge of the drop for, not five, not ten, but SEVEN seconds! It makes it so unexpected when you finally drop down! I love how it goes "into" the water and comes out the other side into a loop. The layout is so nice. The tail end of the ride is a little lacking, but I wouldn't want it to be so extremely intense the entire ride, or that would be overwhelming. I also just adore the look of the coaster. It is so worth visiting. She's still a world record holding dive coaster!

Airtimes First Drop Location Rattle

This ride never fails to make my stomach do flips during the first drop. I wish there were more elements than mostly hills, but the turns are fun. I LOVE how the coaster goes so close to the parking lot and over the park entrance. It's awesome to be entering the park and just seeing the coaster fly overhead. I wish there was more theming, it feels a little generic, but theming isn't the end of the world. Gives some good airtime. There's a little bit of a rattle, but not too bad at all. Won't leave you with a headache like Behemoth. Definitely a mandatory ride.

Theming Location Fun Too short

A super cute family coaster. It feels a little intense to be called a family coaster, I've seen kids get off crying but that's probably happening on even tamer coasters. I adore the theming. The ride operators are usually energetic and in very good spirits, which I am always impressed by. Probably because they get to sit in the shade. It goes around the mountain, and there's a corkscrew inside a pitch black hollow in the mountain. It's super cool and I love it. I hope it stays for many many years to come.

Pace Layout Discomfort Tear it down! Intensity

One word. OW. I don't understand how whis ride is still up. Going forward, it's not bad. It's fairly fun aside from the loop. But then you go backwards, and are treated to the world's most painful torture device. If there was ever a machine built for the express purpose of giving the worst pain a human could take, it would be The Bat. I am a smaller person but I can take a decent beating when it comes to rides. I rode Spine buster three times in a row as a kid, and I can walk around and ride intense rides while already having a headache. Well, The Bat took me out. My friends and I had to go to Planet Snoopy in hopes of riding the relaxing swan boat ride, until we realised we had to go on with a child, so we just sat in the shade for a good ten minutes before moving to the Lazy Bear Lodge for a quieter place to regain our strength. I don't understand why I don't hear more people talking about how painful The Bat is. I would've rated half a star if it wasn't for the initial forward run-through and the way the coaster starts. It's cool and fun how it gets pulled backwards before letting gravity take it through, but the backwards section took me out. I'm still feeling it six hours later.

Nice surprise! Fun Intensity Too short

Genuinely surprised about this one!! Rode it four or five times. Honestly, the breaks are really annoying but that's the only thing. It's my first experience on a Wild Mouse coaster, and I always thought they were kiddie coasters, but I was proven wrong! My friends and I love this ride. It's in a weird spot and in no way is a heavy-hitter like Leviathan or Yukon, but genuinely, I'd rather ride this six times than Behemoth even once. At least The Fly doesn't give me a splitting headache after.

Theming Launch Intensity Too short

i adore this ride. I don't think it fits a whole lot with the area but I don't care. it can be very intense but its such a thrill. I love the theming- it feels like you're in a Fast & Furious movie- but in a good way!

First Drop Fun Duration Rattle Discomfort Intensity

Rode Behemoth for the Season Passholder preview day on April 30th, and I was excited because i saw it had some minor retracking done I'm pretty sure. But I rode it and oh my god- its way rougher than I remember! I had a headache when i got off. Still love it but not sure I will ride it again for the rest of the season.
