Great video! FYI, Riptide was originally called Cliffhanger, and Drop Tower was originally called Drop Zone, named after the movies of the same name. It was changed after Paramount sold to Cedar Fair. Also, Paramount added the now defunct Action FX theatre. And who could forget Jet Scream, the easiest way to collect loose change

Time Warp was Tomb Raider as well, and Flight Deck was Top Gun. There also used to be a little park with statues from various Paramount films, but that has since been removed. I love Wonderland! Been going every summer my entire life, at this point I could draw a map by memory.

Nice research, well played by you Atomiic Coasters. I worked at Wonderland from '83 to '85, it's where I met my wife of 33 years whom was also an employee of the Park. The Blauer Enzian was eliminated as an attraction, the result of an employee fatality in 1982. It never reappeared as a mechanical operation within the Wonderland property thereafter. There was also a 4th ride attached to the International Festival known as 'the International Flyer'. Paramount brought a more 'in-your-face' commercial angle to Wonderland with almost every ride being sponsored by some North American conglomerate. It made the Park feel cheap and like a sell-out. Once Cedar Fair took-over Wonderland emerged into the 21st century as a more viable modern amusement facility. Can you do an expose' on the Kingswood Music Theatre at Wonderland? From its opening in 1983 through the rest of the 80's it was 'the' place to see and hear big name talent in the GTA.

I agree with Kingswood Music Theatre. I was there for Hot Summer Rush '99 and the list of acts was impressive to say the least: LIL KIM SPICE GIRLS LOVE INC. PROZZAK WALDO'S PEOPLE There also happened to be a full rainbow over the stage that day and Lil Kim said something that I'll never forget: "This is my first time coming to Canada and it's also the first time that I've seen a full rainbow!" Ah, good times, good times.

Incredible vid! Growing up close by the park in the 90s brought back so many great memories. Even though you covered a ton of ground (and air lol), I think you missed a few significant things about the park: 1) Music at the park: Kingswood Music Theatre hosted tons of big names in 80s and 90s. One year there was a show for YTV’s The Hit List in the 90s that I’m positive only required park entry fees. Also, MuchMusic held many Electric Circus dance parties at the park in the 90s. 2) Holiday fireworks: quite possibly the best fireworks in the GTA. 3) Halloween Haunt 4) Xtreme Skyflyer - the bungie jumping ride - was super super popular when it came out.

That was a great video and nice history piece. One thing I haven't seen mentioned, and it's something I came across while looking for information on Canada's Wonderland, and it's the fact that Taft had actually built a park in Australia modeled after Canada's Wonderland, even going so far as to give it the name of Australia's Wonderland in its early days. But it closed in 2004.

Also, you forgot Jet Scream which was basically the same ride as Lumberjack - but on a much bigger scale. It was one of those rides that looked impressive to watch and rather tame to ride. It was a heavily promoted ride upon it's launch. It left the park a few years back.

I went to Canada's Wonderland for the very first time last weekend - it was the second weekend of their opening for the year, so not every part of the park was open, but I really loved my time there, then I ran into this wonderful documentary. I did get the Fast Lane Plus because initially, I thought I would be visiting this place maybe once and never again so I wanted to get as many rides as possible. But the park changed my mind most definitively, and now I am looking forward to going back, maybe check out the water park and visit their special events over Halloween and Holidays. Thank you very much for such an informative video!

I have so many stories about when ive went to wonderland. Its less then 2 hours from where i live and when i was a kid my dad used to bring us there once a year. My dad and brother have gotten stuck on psyclone during a power outage on one of our visits lol. Tomb raider or time warp is one of the worst rides there in my opinion. And the beast. Its so rough of a ride. Ive never got to ride top gun as it breaks down so often. But its my brothers fav ride. Mines dragon fyre. We always have fun here. But i will say security and some staff can be really rude and not helpful in anyway lol. That being said ive had so many amazing times and awesome memories made. Like seeing my best friend for the last time before she passed away. We ran into each other there just randomly. Now that spot by timberwolf falls is a place i have a moment to remember her. She took me on my first coaster vortex. 😊 awesome video! Great job clearly you did alot of research! I had no idea thunder run was a different ride first! Thats really neat. I love that ride lol

The unspoken rule of Canada's Wonderland is that Dragon Fyre is always your first ride to loosen you up for the others. Spinnovator is better known to locals as "Quixote's Kettles". I still miss Bayern Curve. It was simple but fun as hell. When you heard the horn, you knew it was about to get real. I missed SkyRider for years but it's hard to keep missing it when Yukon Striker is the replacement. One ride I will miss for the rest of my life though, is Jet Scream. That's one of, if not the, greatest flat ride that I've ever been on in my life. About 20-odd years ago, I experienced a capsule slide at Wet'n'Wild in Orlando. This capsure was shaped like a WWII dumb bomb but it was a bright and speckled royal blue colour. The thing is, it didn't count down. It moved slowly into position to drop you and when it stopped, you had no idea when the floor was going to give. That is the ultimate in nerve-wracking! 😆

I am 27 now and at age 16 when I was working in human resources, believe it or not, all the HR staff working before seasons opening were allowed to ride it once for testing purposes and staff training. Mind you only maintenance and human resources were opened in February during their rides testing and training.

So over all, this Documentary was put together well. Excellent information and nice use of old commercials. However there is one negative thing I must address because I feel this can stop this video and future videos from being that much better, The Music. The Choice of songs is just fine, but the volume isn't. Far to much I find myself turning up the volume to be able to hear your narration, only then to need to turn down the Volume because the music was way to loud. This became a true annoyance when you were talking about the chapter when Ceader Fair took over. Your Narration and the music was bouncing back and forth way to much. Please lower the music volume. Thank you for your time

Great video, love the history of a park I’ve been going to from opening day. Sadly, CW is at best a mid tier park with lost opportunity to be King’s Island level great.

Worked here for a summer in the Games department several years ago. I wonder if the employee canteen/lunchroom is still above the Starbucks on International Street!

Sledgehammer is my favourite ride at the park and has been since they added it. I do miss the zumba flume though.

Around the time when the first season with Windseeker, there was a girl near me (around 11 at the time) who was probably around 13-15, got scared and did go on cause she thought it was a really fast ride. Her friend was there and tried to convince her it wasn't. It was not that fast.

Its was pretty good back in the day. Top Gun was the best. I remember when it was on the outskirts of toronto in the 90s. Surrounded by mostly farmers fields. Now its surrounded by sub divisions. Way too busy now. Can hardly get on more then 6 rides. Spend all day in line.

Gotta work on your volume normalizing. I had to constantly change my volume between your narrative and the ads

Love your videos. Sadly your audio control between your vocals and the music is brutal. Have to turn you up when you're speaking. Then have to race for the remote when you play music.
