Great video!! Watched it all the way thru but the music was super distracting. Would prefer no background music.

I’ve done this before

It's fantastic!!!! This park is just crazy.

Absolutely love it when a cool ride has a detailed backstory.

Great walk through, Its even changed quite a bit for this season. They've really spent some cash on upgrading the park. and not to mention the new coaster and Alpen Festival district.

This guy says BOTH T’s in Toronto 😂 It’s ok tho it’s just funny

Wonderland's coaster lineup was complete ass before Cedar Fair.

18:19 a free M&Ms yoyo! Yay!

While I like Holiday World better overall, I love how in-depth Kings Island is with its lore. Few theme park rides have stories like this one.

The Sky Ryder was a piece of crap

That Brennan Michaels dude is crazy

ITS GONNA BE A GIGA!!!!! welcome back btw!

This is a heavily underrated channel. You deserve more subscribers. Great video. This is my home park, and the history is really cool

A wonderful park! It has been at least a week since someone was seriously injured by one of their rides. At least nobody has died. This year. Yet. Wonderful research, BTW.

I was picked to ride with the dolphins in 1984 for my 11th birthday. Thanks for the awesome memories!

14:58 They actually get great coasters though....MiA hasn't had a new coaster since their hand-me-down many years ago.

correction: MRLC didnt make the train. the train was already there and was part of the reason they bought the land. the truck audio mentions this

I agree about flight Deck 👍

Why is Calaway Park always forgotten lol

Canadas wonderland now has two launch coasters backlot stunt coaster and snoppys racing railway

I haven't been to Canada's Wonderland in years, I think maybe the late 90's or early 2000's? I think it was still Paramount's Canada's Wonderland at the time anyway. I've never been a huge theme park person. I went to Disneyworld around 2016, but other than that, nothing. I have been sort of interested ever since that Yukon ride was announced, but yikes, ~1 hour long wait times, which basically make fast pass a necessity lest one only gets to go on a handful of rides? I don't think even Disneyworld was quite that bad, or at least the rides we went on there had wait times more like 30 to 45 minutes (which was bad enough). I don't remember Canada's Wonderland being nearly that much of a slog when I went to it as a kid.... If I ever go, I'll definitely have to pony up for a Fastpass+, because there is no way I'd want to spend the vast majority of my time there waiting to get on rides.

Thanks great info great vid

Hey everyone. After noticing the negative feedback to the montage segments in this video since it spiked in popularity last month, I was planning to remove them, however KZbin doesn't allow videos with over 100,000 views to be trimmed or have sections muted. I apologize for how those segments turned out, especially with the audio mixing. It sounded nowhere near as bad when I was editing it, and I only realized how bad it was a few days after the video was uploaded. I have more videos planned in this sort of style for the future, and I'll refrain from including more montages in them, unless it's a video specifically built around them. I'm really sorry for the audio in those segments, and I have included a warning info bubble at the beginning of the video now (should've done like 2 years ago).

HERES A GREAT IDEA!!?!?!?!?!?! REGULATE THE TALKING VOLUME AND THE MUSIC BREAKS!!!!!! SO PEOPLE DON"T BLOW OUT THEIR FUKKIN SPEAKERS!!!!!!!!!

In the 1980s they used to let you tour behind the waterfall. It was great. Then someone had to ruin it. I now hate Canada's Wonderland. So much walking and expensive.

Gino hill

Tomb raider/ time warp is SO GOOD THOUGH. YOU MADE IT SOUND LIKE ITS BAD BUT ITS GREAT I SWEAR😂😂😂😂

BROTHGER. TURN THE MUSIC DOWN.

The crotch pain from sky rider was legendary.

Thank you! I really enjoyed this. It did make me a little sad, though. I miss some of those defunct rides. Zumba Flume & SkyRider were two of my favourites. Before they announced the closure of the latter, we would stay on for several rides in a row. We were some of the last people to ride it when it closed.

the music during the coaster montages is so bad

brah youve gotta turn that music down lmao

Hey now flight deck is a classic

Very nice summary of the history of Canada's wonderland. It would be great if you could add to this video, maybe not every year, but every 5 years as some significant moves should be happening in between

I am a proud civilian of Ontario, and as this park doesn't get as much love on KZbin, I was happy to see it in an hour long documentary. I went here in 2022, I think it was 2022.

Homeboy forgot about day of thunder....shame

The Paramount era pretty good in the beginning. In the late 80’s and early 90’s, parks like Disney’s MGM Studios and Universal Studios Orlando opened and everyone was really into behind the scenes movie magic. I was around MGM within a couple weeks of opening. When Paramount came in, we started to see a transition to that vibe, with rides like Top Gun (which was smooth and beautiful, unlike the Drachen Fyre and Mindbuster) and Days of Thunder. There was actual theming and world-building in the ride queues. There was also a big Star Trek exhibition, and there were Klingons roaming the park, ready to insult your lack of honour. It was fun. Felt like it was going somewhere, but I guess not. Top Gun being a roller coaster made sense…it was supposed to be the sensation of flying a jet. Tomb Raider though….uh…

It’s been years since I rode it, but I’m pretty sure the second lap of Thunder Run is faster and reveals the dragon in the mountain.

As someone who has been going since 1997, thank you for this.

I remember my dad taking me to paramount Canada’s Wonderland in the middle 90s . Amazing memories thank you for posting this video

there is a dragon in the mountain as well

now idea how i found this channel but hello from Cobourg ontario Canada,, liked and subbed

its been easily 20 years snce i was last at Canada;s wonder land , the movie School of Rock was in theaters. bc and friend of mine and i went to the school of Rock live show at wonderland

One time in the early 2000s we only rode rollercoasters the whole time. I ended up with a concussion. The next day at work I was literally walking into walls because I couldn't see straight, lol

Growing up in the 80s & 90s I loved Smurf Village/Gargamel's Castle, Scooby Ville & Bedrock!

Fun fact, my great uncle Jack Israeli owned wonderland for some time, he also built a lot of the gta in Ontario, such as residential homes, malls, etc, there is a book about it believe it or not! I’m not watching this whole video but it would of been cool if u mentioned him, but you probably would have had no idea

You should do the history of Montreal first parc Belmont Park

If anyone remembers Pharoah falls, my dad's favorite story to tell is how he shot off the end of it and landed infront of the atlas statue. Also the time my uncle freaked out at the top of the drop zone when the click happened

Yeah, the leviathan is incredibly noisy the park wasn't exactly quiet before but that was honestly a bit much for me.

Nothing will ever make up for them changing hannah barbara land. Anger
