It's probably one of those later in the season additions. I would imagine getting the station as well as florals, trees and all the new shops up and running for opening day.

At least I hope...

Hope you're right because they went all in with the station. Looks fantastic!

All they need now is to build a giant 3D head of a T-Rex instead of that hole in the water and it would simulate being eaten by a dinosaur.

On May 3, I will be among the first of the general public to ride Yukon Striker.

Was anyone at the preview?

I wanted to go but it was too cold to take my son.

I was planning to go but ended up not going because I read on Theme Park Review that lines can be crazy for the new ride at it. Turns out people waited an hour and a half at the start of the night and 3-4 hours later on

My daughter got to ride it on Saturday and she loved it. So much she went twice.

Yukon Striker made the news on Good Morning America! Typical American broadcast. Opens in "Ontario" They always fail to mention the names of Canadian cities,

At least they recognized Ontario and didn't say just 'Canada'.

Rode YS yesterday and it was awesome. Those few seconds suspended at the top just before dropping stops your heart for a few seconds. That's the best part IMO. Loved the ride, but overall I prefer Leviathan and Behemoth over YS (though it's kinda a 1a, 1b, 1c ranking).

I got in line around 10:50 and waited about 1:20 yesterday (10 extra min. for the front row). Line looked shorter when I walked by again at about 3:30. In comparison, 15-20 min. wait for Behemoth and Leviathan.

Managed to get six rides in yesterday in the single riders line, what a godsend that thing is. I think Behemoth is a solid third, can't decide between YS and Leviathan for the number one spot.

The hidden silver lining of bringing in a new coaster!

 

[Marcanadian]

This is one photogenic coaster. Love how it interacts with the park, and the theming is on point. I was always disappointed Behemoth didn't have any theming, and Leviathan's leaves a lot to be desired too. Hopefully this is a sign of things to come.

Marc, is the tunnel just a concrete box still? Unpainted even? That should have something more going for it than that.

I suspect they'll add some sort of fog effect in the future to mask the concrete, but I don't expect anything else.

That's my biggest disappointment with the ride.
