Tundra Twister Media Day at Canada's Wonderland

Yesterday was media day for Tundra Twister at Canada's Wonderland. The latest in a long line of amazing flat rides at the park.

In this update we've got some pics and video from media day including a ride POV and B-Roll and interviews with Grace Peacock, Director of Communications and Peter Switzer, Director of Maintenance and Construction for Canada's Wonderland.

Ride Review:
It’s a lot of fun! Not nearly as intense as I thought it would be. But each ride is very different from the last. Rode over a dozen times. Some rides you barely flip and get floater airtime. Other rides you flip lots or hang upside down for periods of time. It just depends on the weight distribution. Definitely re-rideable. And no one complained about dizziness or feeling sick even after lots of rides.

Tundra Twister is NOW OPEN!!!

Thankfully the wildfire smoke wasn't too bad and it's a beautiful morning at Canada's Wonderland!

Along with Tundra Twister, we also have a new Mango Dragonfruit Cider - Tundra Twist!

And of course, lots of new Tundra Twister themed food!

The Dippin' Dots guy has been working overtime on this one!

Oh, you want to see Tundra Twister? We've got you covered!

Tundra Twister looks amazing from the ground and especially on the ride.

So many great angles to get pictures of Tundra Twister and Yukon Striker!
