Last week we were up in the Great White North to visit family and we had decided to visit Canada's Wonderland one of the days. I hadn't had a proper park day at Canada's Wonderland since 2017 and my wife had never visited other than our Haunt trip in 2022. So we were due. 

It just so happened the park was having a tour of AlpenFury the day we were there and they kindly invited me to tag along to get a great look at construction for this new Premier Rides masterpiece, and of course the opportunity to go inside Wonderland Mountain! It was epic. 

​Let's head in!

Six all-new haunted houses and three scare zones coming to Fright Fest Extreme include:

• Stranger Things – The students of Hawkins High decide to team up to create a little innocent Halloween fun for their community – but things quickly turn upside down and morph into something far darker.
• Trick ‘r Treat – Enter a dark and twisted candy trail nightmare on a jack-o-lantern-lit path of supernatural encounters which tap into your deepest fears. With Sam, the infamous Spirit of Halloween, as your guide, learn the rules of the spooky holiday before entering a world where tricks dominate treats.
• Army of the Dead – The City of Las Vegas is under lockdown following a recent viral outbreak and survivors must look for an escape while battling the undead.
• The Conjuring Universe – Strap in for a tour of the Warrens’ most hair-raising and gruesome cases, including those that inspired The Conjuring, Anabelle and The Nun. In each investigation, encounters with cursed artifacts make you the target of the possession.
• The SAW Franchise – Celebrate the 20th anniversary of SAW with an all-new experience honoring the franchise’s legacy of terror by plunging guests into the depths of Jigsaw’s twisted mind. Guests will endure torturous trials and come face to face with some of John Kramer’s most diabolical contraptions before time runs out.
• Aftermath: Nocturnal Hunt – Three hundred years after a devastating zombie outbreak, Ash City lies in ruins. Guests will stumble into the breeding grounds of the Nocturnals, the former infected who have evolved into bioluminescent predators. In a desperate attempt to escape, will you be hunting them or are they hunting you?
• Plaza de la Muerte – Step into the spectral celebration of Día de los Muertos, where vibrant colors blend with eerie shadows in an immersive dance of spirits and traditions.
• Underworlds of Oz – Journey through the dark side of Emerald City and the mystical realms of Oz, where twisted enchantments and ominous shadows consume the golden path, and the line between fantasy and nightmare blurs into a chilling adventure unlike any other.
• Grimmlore Ridge – Enter a chilling realm where fear takes root and grows wild, leaving the daunting calls of ravens and crows echoing through the twisted branches and shadowed alleyway.

Five returning guest-favorite haunted houses featuring state-of-the-art makeup, props and special effects, include:

• Condemned Forever Damned – In this dilapidated home where the walls are alive and terror crawls in every corner, guests are left trying to escape the spirits of those who once lived there as they unleash fury on anyone who dares to trespass.
• Willoughby’s Resurrected – Evil spirits roam the once-affluent Willoughby’s family mansion that now echoes with whispers and footsteps of these restless spirits, creating an atmosphere of perpetual dread.
• Sewer of Souls – Stumble into an underground world where the air is thick with the despair of lost souls and the darkness is alive with unseen terrors. Guests will be left to navigate through the terrifying tunnels where evil oozes and fear thrives with every step.
• Truth or Dare – In a warped game of Truth or Dare, guests find themselves questioning their every move. The stakes are perilously high as the dares become increasingly dangerous and the truths reveal hidden fears and dark secrets. Can you handle the pressure, or will the game unravel your sanity?
• Vault 666 Unlocked – Demonic relics are locked in a dark and sinister antique shop, waiting to be unleashed upon anyone foolish enough to disturb their rest. Haunting and inexplicable occurrences plague those who dare to enter, for the relics do not forgive or forget.
  
  

Six additional scare zones around the park that leave guests nowhere to hide and screaming to get out include:

• City Under Siege – The clowns are back and spreading havoc in every inconceivable manner. As their twisted grins and sinister laughter fill the air, no place is safe from their deranged antics.
• CarnivHELL – Visitors are invited to step right up and enter if they dare into a once-thriving circus now taken over by a carnivorous band of carnies.
• Nightmares: A Twisted Fantasy – In this perverse twist on childhood favorite bedtime stories, your worst nightmares come to life, taunting you to sleep with one eye open.
• Devil’s Triangle – Succumb into the deepest, darkest depths of the ocean, haunted by the many souls lost to the Devil’s Triangle that prey on guests drifting by.
• The Deadzone – A renegade group of cyberpunk zombies are unleashed and feed on unsuspecting visitors.
• Exile Hill – Unimaginable sinister souls appear without warning and send chills down the spines of guests that dare to journey through this dark and ominous passage.

​VAUGHAN, ON (Aug. 8, 2024) – Canada’s Wonderland is inviting guests to face nature’s wrath next year
on AlpenFury, the longest, tallest and fastest launch coaster in the country. When fire and ice come
together inside the mysterious Wonder Mountain, the force will propel riders into a thrilling journey
beginning with a launch that blasts the train out the summit, 50 metres into the sky. The coaster will
span 1,000 metres across the park, reaching speeds of 115 km/h, flipping and twisting through nine
breathtaking inversions – the most of any launch coaster in North America.

“AlpenFury is a world-class attraction, and we’re excited for the unique thrills it will offer our guests,”
said Phil Liggett, general manager at Canada’s Wonderland. “The combination of being blasted out of
Wonder Mountain, and then racing through nine inversions one right after the other, is going to be an
experience guests won’t soon forget.”
​
Designed by Premier Rides, AlpenFury will be the park’s 19th roller coaster, the fourth to interact with
Wonder Mountain and the signature attraction in Alpenfest, which will be officially designated a
themed area of the park next year.

It is in this village that guests will find themselves at a festival celebrating the mystical union of fire and
ice. A sled haus offers a journey aboard a sleek, modern sled into the heart of Wonder Mountain where
this powerful, natural force awaits.

Guests who purchase a 2025 Gold Pass will get unlimited rides on AlpenFury in 2025, plus unlimited
Halloween Haunt and WinterFest this year and next. The 2024 Gold Pass is now available at its lowest
price of the year, for only $105 through Sept. 2. Early birds who purchase before Aug. 11 will also
receive five free Single-Use Fast Lane Passes!**

The Gold Pass includes Halloween Haunt, which returns select nights Sept. 27 to Nov. 2 and will feature
hundreds of monsters, scare zones, sinister entertainment and mazes including the new Demons of the
Deep attraction. WinterFest is also included with a Gold Pass and returns select dates starting Nov. 16
with spectacular lights, holiday entertainment, festive food and more.

*Plus taxes and processing fee up to $9.99.

**Single-Use Fast Lane passes valid for use between Aug. 8 and Nov. 2. Not valid for Halloween Haunt.
