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! Related Videos

Guests will be launched out of Wonder Mountain on AlpenFury, Canada’s longest, tallest and fastest launch coaster 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.
