Vaughan Yukon Striker at Canada's Wonderland | 67.97m | ?s | Cedar Fair

[Johnny Au]

Cedar Fair knows very well that Canada's Wonderland is the most profitable and most attended of all seasonal theme parks in North America, even beating the flagship Cedar Point consistently!

Here are more videos about the upcoming dive coaster:

There's a great chance that the roller coaster would be named Ziz, be themed on the Klondike Gold Rush, and be classified as a giga coaster (it's already confirmed to be a dive coaster).

According to multiple sources they are starting construction on the station and multiple track pieces being moved into position.

Yukon Striker is the name. Never would have guessed that. 75-metre drop.

While also paying homage to Skyrider.

Tallest dive, most inversions, tallest inversion and longest Dive I believe.

I'm happy with the rendering, I'm just wondering why would you have that last bit after the mcbr... oh well, can't wait to ride it in April!

Extend this to Vaughan Metropolitan Centre for a direct and fun connection to the subway

I like how the ride goes over several other rides, as well as over pedestrian areas. It used to be that all of the coasters were self contained.

Interesting that they're incrementally recreating the whole 'Frontier Canada' section, which was originally planned but never built.

Just wish they were using another colour. The track looks like it's the same colour as the Behemoth.

It's pretty much identical to SkyRider's colours, which I always loved. And the vertical loop and the elements after the brake run feel like a nod to SkyRider as well.

I would love for there to be fog coming out of the tunnel with dark blue lighting, and a good light package for those end of the night rides. And hopefully they replace any trees they are taking out for this since Soaring Timbers and Lumberjack have already got rid of a lot of mature trees in the space.

I've been avidly following construction updates/speculation on this coaster for the past 4 months at least. I'm thrilled to finally see the official announcement and renderings. Cannot wait to ride this one!

I like the way the ride interacts with Vortex, which is one Wonderland's best rides. That last bit at the end looks like it will mirror Vortex's helix. Those two coasters will make a great 1-2 punch in that part of the park.
