Canada's Wonderland 2017

Canada's Wonderland to add wet & wild thrills with two new attractions in 2017

VAUGHAN, ON, Aug. 26, 2016 /CNW/ - Canada's Wonderland announced today it will be showcasing two new unique and adrenaline-pumping attractions in 2017. With the addition of towering water slides in Splash Works and a new thrill ride that will be the first of its kind in North America, guests will experience two exhilarating parks and one memorable 2017 season.

Muskoka Plunge, a 60 ft. (18 m) tall waterslide complex featuring four speed slides, will kick-off the summer fun in Splash Works. Riders will feel the adrenaline rush when they step into an enclosed launch chamber and suddenly plummet into a high-speed free fall through S-curves and 360?? loops at speeds of approximately 40 km/h.

For thrill-seekers that prefer to stay dry, Canada's Wonderland will be adding to its arsenal of world-class thrill rides with Soaring Timbers. This unique ride experience will send guests spiraling through the sky on two massive rotating gondolas that swing riders through sweeping arcs while rotating 360 degrees.

Canada's Wonderland has also recently announced a limited time offer on 2017 Season Passes for only $68.99 ($21.00 less than the current Season Pass price). As an additional benefit to purchasing next year's Season Pass now, new Passholders will receive one free visit this year and renewing Passholders will receive one free 2016 Fast Lane Plus pass, valid for one day this season.

Looks like a solid addition.

Wat is going on with that flat ride?

gosh, that flat ride will be absolutely insane!

Looks like Airwolf which travels the German fair circuit as far as I know (Mondial Inferno)

Example video - although I doubt it'l;l run this circuit

Looks like a very fun ride to...watch from the bench. lol

This ride just LOOKS like the definition of extended downtime. Hopefully it won't be, because that looks nuts.

Of all the things cedar fair can put into all of their parks, I want this to be one of them...

Canada's Wonderland likes weird flat rides. Looks like this ride will be pretty intense.

I always wished they'd make a bigger Huss Jump2 think or whatever it's called.

I second this. Sledgehammer at Canada's Wonderland is a ton of fun.

yeah, downtime caused by the ops constantly having to mop up something connected with intense rides......

What about the PPH (Passengers Per Hour) for that insane flip brush ride?!

That thing is weird as hell. I love it.

It really looks so far they are testing it out manually operated. I really hope it will get a decent/worthy program, as I doubt it's going to operate manually for guests.

The only thing I can think of to make this even better is turn the seating in the other direction

Indeed. I heard once that Ripsaw at Alton Towers used to have several different intensity modes - that would be interesting to see on a wider scale (perhaps different length cycles for less busy days?)
