The first ever rollercoaster I went on was the Dragon Fyre, my Mom told me it was great for beginners and there was nothing that would scare a 10 year old (at the time). I very quickly learned a life lesson: Don’t trust everything you’re told, even from those closest to you. Since that day, I’ve had PTSD from rollercoasters and rarely ever go on them

The first roller coaster I got on was the wild beast, because my dad recommended it for beginners. (I was 10.) and I remember holding on for my life to the bar above my lap. ( it was the only constraint from me falling off.) Afterwards I just stayed in the kid section.

I still think Yukon Striker was the best one. Especially when you are in the front row, that hang and then drop is awesome. Got to ride it 7 times in the last 40 minutes the park was open by using the single rider line and sprinting around after it was done.

I was here about 15 years ago, it was great then but wow - look at it now! Excellent video and commentary - I learned new roller coaster terms I had never heard of - many thanks!

I got a chance to visit there in 1999 and had a fantastic time riding everything that was available at that point - I definitely remember Top Gun / Flight Deck for that extra thrill of the legs dangling. The Wild Mouse brought back memories of the old one at Playland, when you always felt like you were about to ride straight off the rails in a turn.

Alright, here's my ranking of the top 5: 1. Minebuster 2. Vortex 3. Backlot Stunt Coaster/The Italian Job 4. Flight Deck/Top Gun 5. Wilde Beast Lots of people don't like Minebuster because it's so bumpy. I actually find the roughness to be part of the appeal. It makes it feel old and rickety (granted, it IS old) when the whole pull of wooden coasters is that rickety we're-gonna-die-when-was-the-last-time-this-thing-was-inspected feeling.

I first went to Wonderland when it first opened when I was 10 or 11 - it was my first amusement park and I rode every ride. In my teens and early 20s I loved to see concerts there at Kingswood Amphitheatre located inside the park. We'd go to the park, have a little fun, hang out in the beer tent and then go to the concert - great times!

ive been going top this park since 1987, always blow away how much has changed and how many rides have come and gone, for me Dragon Fyre will always be my fav, it was my first looper and everytime i got to Wonderland its my first and last ride :3

Oh the instant regret at the top of leviathans hill for your first time is so amazing. I have been on it 137 times as of today.

This is my home park. I remember going there as a kid and teen in the 90s. Always enjoyed it. This year, I've introduced this place to my two boys age 5 and 7, and they are addicted to this place 😂. They are roller coaster junkies in the making lol. We have a season pass and already purchased next year's passes. We absolutely love it here. I can't wait to experience the bigger coasters with them as they try them. This place is a Must visit if you are visiting Ontario. Snoopy racing railway is a favorite for the kiddos, and Thunder run, Backlot stunt are top 3 for them. This is a great review of the park coasters!

I really want to visit Canada's Wonderland someday. Playland used to have a Wild Mouse ride and it was the best. It is sad that it is gone.

I love the Time Warp, it’s my favourite ride! (Probably because I haven’t gone on any big drop roller coasters)I was sad that it was last but I knew people don’t really like it. I have never gotten any neck pain/headaches etc. That might be why it’s my favourite.😊

The Leviathan is you only have a bottom seatbelt and thigh restraint. You hit zero Gs so if you have your arms up you lift out of your seat and you are effectively flying. That drop straight down while being on the front. Then when you reach that snappy bend over the parking lot. You feel that half second whip of flying right out. Yukon Striker is insanely fun, especially that drop. But you feel to safe on it imo with the shoulder restraints. Also shame they closed SkyRider. That was the only coaster without seats. You stood up on it. The amount of restraints was wild to keep you in going through those loops!

funny how rough Flight Deck and Time Warp are both known for being mega-rough rides but your voice and the background music seem like a positive business move. 😂

Brother I use to go there every year when I was little(went on the small rides). I have grown up and finally went on the big boy rides. I screamed my guts out. Nearly cried. Behemoth and Leviathan were crazy but! After this video I wanna go again even tho I went 3 days ago and neck still hurting. Very good video. Subscribed

I’m going to Canada wonderland Friday with my school🎉🎉 SOO excited 😮😮

First time went on Yukon Striker this year, such an amazing roller coaster, takes your breath away literally!

Honestly Yukon striker is my favorite

Flight Deck is such a good ride. Never understood the complaints with that one. Time Warp is great too

My home park. I have many favorites. Yukon has a loop cause of the coaster that used to be there. Skyrider, a stand up. Heehee! Spinebuster, I call it kneebuster. But I love it.

I rode the leviathan in 2012. Me and the guys were adrenaline crashing after. That 300 foot climb to a 90 degree drop is wild

My head still hurts just thinking about Top Gun (Flight deck)... the first roller coaster I ever went on. That was a poor choice. Behemoth was fun, and because of nostalgia I actually prefer it over Leviathan. ... but nothing there beats riding Thunder Run with someone special to you. Great roller coaster... even for people that are not really into roller coasters.

I don’t know if I exactly 100% agree with your list (big surprise) but a lot of it I do. All of your bottom ones are so uncomfortably aggressive. On time warp, I wasn’t even off the ride and was thinking this might give me a concussion. I think I hit my head 30+ times, on that death trap. Vortex, I didn’t have a great experience with either, but if what you said is true (that every car is unattached and provides a different ride experience) I might have had a bad one. Also, the bat made me so motion sick when I was riding it, I felt fine beforehand but I couldn’t stomach the reverse flips and generally I don’t have bad motion sickness.

the first roller coaster I went on was flight deck… my head came out of the seat thing and I ended up bruising the side of my face on it 🥲🥲

I was there when I was about 6-7 and I'm going back while visiting family in Peterborough. I don't remember much from my last visit other than crying from the Ghoster Coaster...seeing some of these rides makes me so exited to finally go back!

The Great Canadian Spine Buster hahaha that was funny

Mine was Wonder Mountains Guardian. The 30 feet drop was insane...

Time warp had me crying😅

been there done that Yukon Leviathan and Behemoth :) wow !!!

the thrills on taxi jam are unbeatable

I went on the Ghoster Coaster today

I absolutely love silver streak ❤️😭 I’m not a roller coaster person. I love all the other rides but not roller coasters. But silver streak is just different. I don’t know if it’s because of the seats making me feel really safe but I just love it.

My first time i went to wonderland i went on minebuster and can agree my back hurt for a day after that. Went there again last year and went on leviathan and yukon striker for the first time, and can say ive never clenched onto the seat tighter in my life, ofc as a 19 year old would do

I was a baby when I went the 1st year Wonderland opened. Then I went almost every year growing up. This week I'm going with my 18 year old son and I'm just as excited as I was when I was 12 😅

the first ride i ever went on their was the Leviathan, I thought it was gonna be an easy walk in the park but as soon as I got in the seat oh was I wrong. I have now been scared to death from that ride now but I still go on it!

i agree except for top 5. 5. Backlot 4. Vortex 3. behemoth 2. Leviathan 1. Yukon striker

La Ronde has 2 inverted coasters and the infamous Le Monstre, and is the largest wooden coaster in Canada and the tallest racing wooden coaster in the world.

3 behemoth 2 leviathan 1 yokon striker

MY FAV RIDE IS LEVIATHAN

IM THERE!!!!

Fun Fact: La ronde in montreal also has an slc (SLC = the exact same thing as flight deck) dubbed "Ednor: L'attaque"

The fly was 100% the scariest

Just watching some of these coasters is nerve rattling, can't imagine actually riding them!

My first was flight deck, it was rough but i was hooked after and went to yukon striker right after

the sudden stop at the end of vortex gave me a concussion

I was on a good few of this earlier this summer, Yukon Striker was my favourite

We are hoping to make it to Canada either this year or next year. My oldest Addison would love these places. I like coasters just not the ones that only spin. The flying one would be something I would like. Every time I see coasters I think of doing Roller Coaster Tycoon back in the day.

Best wonderland video I've ever seen! Wow they have some great coasters don't they!

the biggest rides ive been on are vortex, wilde beast, and dragonfyre. What is the next step to get over my fear of coasters

I had a gig playing a show on the diving stage near Leviathon and we'd have a gap between show time and the park opening. I remember everynight when the park opened we'd rush over to Leviathon and be the first ones to ride it. It was like a pre show ritual. Fun times.

6:39 We also have coined it the The Mind Buster because of how much your head gets tossed around.

Here's What i'm riding at wonderland this season: Coasters: Yukon Striker, Behemoth, Leviathan, Dragon Fire, Minebuster, Wild Beast, Thunder Run, Vortex, Ghoster Coaster & Silver Streak Thrill Rides: Tundra Twister, Sledge Hammer, Psyclone, Shockwave, Klockwerks, Drop Zone, knightmares, The rage, Spinovator, Lumberjack, Soaring Timbers & Riptide Family Rides: Krachenwagen, Antique Carousel, Character Carousel, Ghost Blasters, Flying Canoes & Flying Eagles Water Rides: White water canyon & Timberwolf falls Cya at the park Summer 2023!

Excellent review, great video. I’ve been going to Wonderland since it opened in ‘81. Sadly it’s home to the worst two coasters ever built: Flight Deck and Time Warp. MCMB and WB used to be too woodies that threw you out of your seat but have not aged well, Ghoster Coaster is wonderful!!!! Technically WB is pronounced Wildebeest like the animal although at one time renamed to Wild Beast but since reverted, now Wilde Beast

Yukon striker is the best done it 3 times and it has lines for single which made easy to do 3 times in no time

While I don’t think it’s a smooth ride, I stand by my opinion that time warp is a much smoother ride than flight deck. When I ride flight deck it feels like I could actually die lmao. and the barrel rolls where you face the sky on time warp are pretty fun

Last one was best

I have a story to tell and it’s pretty funny So we all know that Minebuster is one of the fastest rides in Canada’s Wonderland and it was my first time and I went with my family and friends and we all thought it was a little slow train but no when we went on it we realized the huge mistake we made 😂 but it was really fun 🤩 I love Canada’s Wonderland ❤

I’m going here for my first ever visit in July! I can’t wait! Im definitely gonna do a few of the big coasters but not really sure of doing leviathan

Leviathan

Love this!! Great idea!! Such a cool place!!

Vortexes probably my favourite

Looks like they have some fun ones 👍😎

Woah Woah Woah Yukon b4 behemoth

To me: Yukon striker is my best friend!

My first roller coaster was the leviathan but favourite is definitely the Yukon striker

I was VERY surprised to see your order. Rides you mentioned that are rough (e.g. Minebuster) are typically NOWHERE near the serious levels of rough & dangerous rides you'd get on Wonderland's WORST coasters (each are among the worst coasters in North America in my opinion): 17th --> Flight Deck, 16th --> Time Warp, 15th --> Wilde Beast, 14th ---> Dragon Fyre, 13th ---> The Bat I've had several family and friends cut their visits to the park short to go to the hospital (and later file complaints with Wonderland management) about the injuries they've sustained on those 5 roller coasters over the years. For years I tried to rally support against those coasters still being allowed to run despite the number of neck, back and shoulder injuries they've caused people. I no longer ride these coasters and will not let family or friends ride them without very strong warnings backed by several stories of people sustaining injuries. These coasters are beyond 'rough' and will no doubt hurt most people. On the flip side I'd say my personal top 5 are: 5th ---> Backlot Stunt Coaster 4th ---> Vortex 3rd ---> Leviathan 2nd --> Yukon Striker 1st ---> Behemoth (yes yes I know people think it's crazy to put Behemoth ahead of Leviathan, but I've been on both of these rides dozens and dozens of times and still came to the same conclusion...the airtime you feel on Behemoth is so much better and I enjoy the track layout a lot more. Both are incredible roller coasters however)! So rounding out the middle of the list (in case people are looking for another avid coaster enthusiasts experience): 12th --> Taxi Jam (I'm very serious when I recommend this ''baby coaster'' ahead of the injury inducing coasters!) 11th --> The Fly (if getting whipped from side to side with someone next to you is your thing, then this is your ride!) Now we get into some of the best ''family coasters'' you'll find in any amusement park in North America: 10th --> Thunder Run 9th ---> Silver Streak 8th --> The Guardian (sucks the 'game' no longer works because when it did this was an amazing ride/experience!) 7th ---> Ghoster Coaster (probably among the best ''transition from kiddie to adult'' coasters available!) 6th --> Great Canadian Minebuster (to avoid the rough ride you MUST ride this in the front two cars!)

Leviathan was the most terrifying roller coaster I ever been on. I thought I could handle it but as soon as we dropped from the top it was sheer terror for the entire ride! I felt traumatized after it. That was my first and last ride on it ever. Never again! ...But, my bf was laughing and enjoying himself the whole time. He said it was cool and fun. He loved going on it so much he went on it again!

Me and my cousin went on ghoaster coaster and his seatbelt came undone and we had to hold him done and he was screaming but he was ok lol

Taxi jam, snoopy’s racing railway

I just went to canada's wonderland today a while ago and when i went on the vortex and Leviathan I lost my voice for screaming that much sadly yukon wasnt working and behemoth wasnt to

I just went to it yesterday I went on every ride

Favorite coaster at Wonderland is Leviathan but I have a soft spot for Vortex. It still holds up incredibly well despite it's age and might be my number 2. 3rd and 4th would be Yukon and Behemoth

behemoth is definatly my favorite

why is it that on all of the wooden rides, it has a warning saying “do not stand up”???? Like who the hell is standing up on the wooden coasters???

Lol, I'll never call flight deck that. It will always be top gun to people who have been going to Wonderland since that ride was opened. I feel like some rides are missing on this... For example, how did you exclude drop zone or drop tower, whatever they call it now a days lol. Psyclone is another crazy one that I feel should be on the list. Time warp in my opinion is terrible. They used to have one there called SkyRider - that should've stayed above time warp. Although, considering skyrider was replaced with Yukon Striker, I'd say they made a good choice. My top 5 would be: Leviathan, Yukon, Behemoth, Top Gun, Minebuster

Leviathan is the best ride i have ever trieddd

Behemoth is nuts... and so is Yukon,

I didnt know Canada has theme parks. This is really fun. Full watch. LIKE 16. 👍👍👍

The first ever i went on is the yukon striker

18 roller coasters

I'm only watching this because I'm going on June 27th

The First Roller Coaster I have been in is Wilde Beast,It was kind of shaky but i enjoyed it:)

I went to wonderland in class groups and the first ride ive ever done was leviathan

I love time wamp

yukon striker is my fave

Behemoth is my favorite so far (i havent been on yukon striker but leviathan is really rough on the first drop

My fav ride at Canadas Wonderland is Dragon Fyre

We are in canada 🇨🇦 it’s kilometres per hour

Very cool channel!

Leviathan was my first roller coaster experience yesterday 💀

My brother calls mine buster back Buster

I reccomend the last 3 rides on this list

Leviathan is of course the best ride at Wonderland and in North America

Vortex is my favorite coaster very unique experiance

What a great over view! Seems like an exciting place 😎Jenn

Canada Wonderland needs to start to replace some of the old coasters that are too bumpy with new coasters. I really think keeping the older ones hurts the experience for people and the return rate is much lower due to this.

My fav is dragon fyre

I went on the fly and one time my belt was unbuckled and my lapbar was barely touching my lap, I was lucky I survived

I would like dive coasters better if they had the old B&M restraints because of my thighs, but they are still fun
