Well, 99% certain at least.

According to most rumours, it will be a 200 foot rollercoaster - average for the industry, but lots of fun none the less. Wonderland is the most attended seasonal amusement park in North America, so it's about time we got a good ride! You can thank Cedar Fair, the park's new owners.

Might get my first season's pass in over 10 years for next year. Supposedly, if you buy a 2008 season's pass now, you can already start using it.
 
We did a little Urban Toronto Wonderland Day not too long ago and noticed the construction - next to the Italian Job Stunt Track?
 
Given what driving in Wood-a-bridge is like, who needs an Italian Job Stunt Track...
 
We do! We do!

There's a job description on the Wonderland website that specifies that the applicant must be able to work at 106 m (347 ft). That's a pretty specific height, and there's nothing in the park that's that high, so....

They announce the ride on August 27.
 
I got an insider who works in Wonderland's office. It's definitely a new steel hyper coaster, B+M Coaster. It will be the tallest and fastest roller coaster in Canada. That's all I know. Finally, Wonderland gets a B+M Coaster!!!!
 
I don't think I should feel bad for asking this, but, what's B+M?

B+M stands for Bolliger & Mabillard. This company has built some of the best coasters there are in the world. Wonderland is finally getting it's first major and prominent steel coaster. Thank you Cedar Fair, the best news ever when you bought all Paramount Parks.

Brief overview of B+M courtesy of Wikipedia.

Bolliger and Mabillard Consulting Engineers, Inc. (B&M) is a roller coaster manufacturer based in Monthey, Switzerland. The company was founded in the late 1980s by Walter Bolliger and Claude Mabillard and produced the first inverted roller coaster in 1992. Bolliger & Mabillard also features the most steel coasters on the Amusement Today Golden Ticket Awards for the Top 50 Steel Coasters for 2005, 21/50 coasters are B&M's.


Check out its Wikipedia page, you'll see all the B+M Coasters in the world.

I also forgot to add that the rumoured coaster is to be a B+M Hyper Coaster. Height, speed, airtime characterize the B+M Hyper Coaster.

Will we finally have a hyper coaster to call are own?

Roomers are that it's Morgan or B&M (would have to be B&M's biggest). There's teaser ads around the park now.

For us coaster freaks this is huge, wonderland has incredible flat rides but probably the worst collection or coasters anywhere on the planet.

Cedar Fair is a god-send!

Just what I was thinking. A more family-oriented way of describing a shit-in-your-pants type of ride.
