 Flight Deck Roller Coaster Reborn as ‘The DareDeviler’ with New Trains Offering Elevated Thrills and Enhanced Comfort VAUGHAN, ON (April 7, 2026) –– Canada’s Wonderland, the country’s premier amusement park, today unveiled what’s new for the 2026 season, launching May 3. Highlights include the transformation of Flight Deck into The DareDeviler, along with a full slate of events and entertainment – featuring the return of Brew & BBQ in June, and three new live shows spanning cirque, acrobatics and musical performance. The park’s flagship candy shop has also undergone renovation to offer an expanded and elevated confectionery experience with a new assortment of handcrafted treats. A NEW SEASON OF SIGNATURE THRILLS After its record‑breaking debut last year, AlpenFury continues to lead Canada’s Wonderland’s unmatched coaster collection in 2026. The attraction is Canada’s longest, tallest and fastest launch coaster and holds the world record for the most inversions on a launch coaster, with nine. Building on that momentum, the park is also unveiling a bold reimagining of a longtime favourite. Originally introduced as Top Gun in 1995, the inverted roller coaster formerly known as Flight Deck will debut early summer as The DareDeviler, re‑themed to align with the original vision of the Grande World Expo area. Guests can relive the daring spirit of early aviation as they soar, dive, and twist through the legacy of a legendary stunt plane built to thrill the world. Enhanced by targeted track refinements and new trains, the ride delivers a smoother, more immersive experience, featuring improved seating and open, vest‑style restraints for greater comfort and visibility. “We’re excited to breathe new life into one of our classic roller coasters,” said Heather Hill, park manager. “With The DareDeviler, we’re elevating the thrill experience with a smoother, more comfortable ride—while AlpenFury continues to deliver the record‑breaking excitement that thrilled guests last season and will again in 2026.” In addition, guests will have the chance to enjoy The DareDeviler IPA, a refreshingly bold, craft‑inspired beer with bright citrus aromas, presented in partnership with Something in the Water Brewing Co. Inspired by the popular beer styles of the Grande World Expo era, the brew delivers a refreshing, easy‑drinking option tailored for sunny days and high‑energy park adventures. BREW & BBQ RETURNS TO SUMMER EVENTS LINEUP The 2026 season at Canada’s Wonderland will also feature four seasons of events. The lineup includes:
EXCITING LIVE ENTERTAINMENT FOR ALL AGES In addition to these events, Canada’s Wonderland also will feature world-class live entertainment through the summer, including the return of the Victoria Falls High Divers and performances with Snoopy and the PEANUTS™ gang. NEW shows this year include:

The former Sweet Shoppe on International Street has been reimagined as The Sweet Spot, an elevated confectionery experience featuring custom white cabinetry, embossed ceilings, and a larger, refreshed space. The transformed store will offer an expanded assortment of handcrafted treats, including Tanghulu – fresh fruit skewers coated in a glossy, hardened sugar syrup – for a visually striking and indulgent sweet stop.
