The Wilde Beast is by far the most thrilling coaster in the park since it's the only one where I legitimately fear for my life while riding.

[@AmusementInsiders]

J R Hahahaha 🤣very well put lol I can’t argue with thay

this is sarcasm right?

The Wilde Beast and the Minebuster always makes me feel like we're going to veer of the track. These are classic wooden coaster and they're suppose to be rickity and shake you apart. They will always be there as long as they're repairable.

I remember Minebuster gave me a massive headache 😂 they're fun, but just a little too shaky and painful for my liking. The wooden ones are all like that. I prefer smooth rides with huge drops and flips.

[@Vlaggio]

Behemoth is #1 for me. The trim brake doesn't affect me much. The back seats ARE AMAZING on behemoth.

[@AmusementInsiders]

Vlaggio I hear that from a lot of people so don’t worry haha it’s normal to still like Behemoth more

[@mayabet6122]

I could definitely see Behemoth being better than Leviathan. I've heard its one of the best B&M Hypers.

Dragon Fyre has always been the unofficial "first ride" of Canada's Wonderland because it gets you loose and warmed up for everything else.

[@AmusementInsiders]

Jose Calderon yeah sometimes I get really good rides on it as well 😢

[@56jetman]

I think the best ride experience on Behemoth is in the back row, while the best experience on Leviathan is in the front row. Don't know why exactly, but my 11 y/o nephew agrees with me as well.

[@yoyusung7096]

I don't think that Canada's wonderland should remove Wilde beast because it's a classic ride in the park.

[@AmusementInsiders]

Matt's Moving Picturezz I think we have too many mediocre classics though

Hey I think like your change of decision for minebuster, you should definetly revisit wildebeast, Also Flightdeck is good if you keep your head back and lean your ahead away from the turns, its really good! I'm suprised you don't like the bat though, but Timewarp is trash though

Backlot Stunt Coaster is extremely underrated. My friend tricked me. I saw big bright cars and thought "oh just a kid one, guess we're taking a break from the big ones". Then we got on it. I don't know if I was just taken completely off guard, but I remember it being insane. So fast and loud, especially in the cave when all you can hear is the screaming wind and it's completely black. Definitely one of my favourites!

one of my favs. was my first "big time" coaster back when behemoth was just added to wonderland. loved it then, love it now. just gotta remember to keep your head back and hold if you can around the corkscrew/whirlwind otherwise its easy as heck to bash your head on the transition between the two

[@camwxextreme4125]

I agree, I love flight deck

[@Lkal-di5hv]

I think you hit the nail on the head about behemoth. I've had a lot of great back row rides this season on behemoth, with crazy airtime, but when I rode it today it was like a completely different ride! It started like it usually does, getting yanked over the drop, amazing airtime on the first hill, fun hammerhead, and then BAM, the trim hit. It lost almost all of its speed. It kinda crawled into the midcourse. I've never had a ride like that on behemoth before, and it was really surprising. Totally agree on Leviathan, it's been consistently hauling this season, and so has YS. Minebuster I've only ridden once so far this season, but it was in the middle car, and it was exactly how you said: oddly smooth and fun! Wilde beast I find fun in the different ways it can beat you up, as well as the surprising airtime in certain parts. I had the exact same experience in the back row on the first drop, and it caught me very off guard on passholder night, as I had no idea that it was coming. I actually loved it though, it felt like the ride was trying to throw me off. I rode the bat for the first time in a while tonight, and while it was pretty fun, and a cool rush of adrenaline, I was definitely pretty disoriented when coming back into the station. I find that on the bat, Dragon Fyre and Vortex (All with arrow trains) if you lean forward into the restraints, it mitigates a bunch of headbanging (especially on vortex), and makes the rides more fun. Doesn't work at all on flight deck though (Vekoma restraints). Vortex definitely does have a few weird bumps and shuffles, but I think it gives the ride character. Wow, I just wrote a novel without realizing it, and feel like I still have more to say! Maybe I should turn this into a trip report on r/rollercoasters... Thanks for the great top 10, and for not just hating on rides, but giving specifics for everything! Keep up the great work!

[@Lkal-di5hv]

Forgot a few things: I haven't really noticed that much of a B&M rattle on behemoth, or maybe I just don't care (Flight Deck tolerance) Leviathan is definitely a front row ride, and Behemoth is definitely better in the back. Even flight deck and time warp can be enjoyable at times, even if they can only be done as one-offs because of the headache. I like the idea of renovating wonder mountain's guardian, as it has so many problems, but an equal amount of potential. Maybe the mountain itself could use a bit of TLC as well, and maybe cedar fair could make some of it walkable again, seeing as they are trying to bring the park closer to the kings entertainment/taft days, and fix some of the things that paramount ruined.

[@AmusementInsiders]

Lucas Kalechstein yeah I’m thinking it might be the trains and obviously the trims

[@hera_devine2451]

i your hitting the back your putting your head forward to much but i did have the same problem first ride.

[@Stone2244]

My personal thoughts on this list: Here is how you improve Canada's Wonderland 17 + 16: Remove Flight Deck and Time Warp insert an Intamin/Mack Launch 15: Wilde Beast: RMC Wilde Beast 14: The Bat: It's a Vekoma Boomerang, every park has those 13: Taxi Jam: It's a kids ride, what are you going to do? 12: Wonder Mountain's Guardian: Fun dark ride, too many technical difficulties/Revamp the queue and station 11: Thunder Run: Its a family coaster 10: Silver Streak: It's a kids ride 9: Dragon Fyre: Take it out and add a B&M Looping Coaster like Banshee 8: Ghoster Coaster: GCI or Gravity Group revamp 7: The Fly: It's one of those Wild Mouse's coasters and for families 6: Backlot Stunt Coaster: It's fine but if Wonderland gets another launch you need to take it out. 5: Vortex: Re-theme more but it is a classic 4: Behemoth: B&M Hyper 3: Mighty Canadian Minebuster: It's a classic and smooth 2: Yukon Striker: B&M Dive 1: Leviathan: B&M Giga Notes: Canada's Wonderland would not put a Mack Double Launch in Med Fair because of Leviathan. They would most likely put it somewhere like in Grand World Expo because they're no major coasters in that area. Canada's Wonderland would not RMC Minebuster because it is too close to Yukon Striker granted I did say RMC Wilde Beast BUT Wilde Beast really needs it. Canada's Wonderland would not take out Vortex because it is too much of a fan favorite Canada's Wonderland would take out The Fly if they need a new family coaster because these types of coasters are so common. Canada's Wonderland would put a B&M Looping Coaster near Leviathan because it wouldn't be as big as a Mack Double Launch If you read the comment thank you. These are just my personal thoughts and if you disagree with me lets talk down below VVVVVV

Here in New York we have two volares. I have only ridden one of them (Superflight) and I only did it once back in 2017 and it was a horrendous experience. I will never ride it again and if the airplane coaster reincarnation does end up replacing this piece of crap I will shed no tears.

[@djsugarc1075]

[@leejohnson179]

I've been on three. The one at CW, the one at Rye Playland (Super Flight), and the one at Coney Island. The Coney Island one is by far the best (the harness makes it almost comfortable). CW's Time Warp is really poor. But Time Warp is an absolute luxury ride compared to Super Flight, which is the roughest coaster I've ever been on (and I've been on a lot).

[@OklahomaCoasterFan]

Great video! I always enjoy seeing different people's opinions. I won't tear you apart at all. But for me personally, I really enjoyed Time Warp. It ended up being a sleeper hit for me, just because of how strange and unique it is. I rode it once each of my 3 days there. I hold on tight, so no headbanging or getting thrown around at all. But it's still a little uncomfortable, so I can only handle one ride a day. I was noticing the rattle on Behemoth, but I've felt a lot worse on other B&Ms. It's a middle-of-the-road B&M hyper for me. I wasn't allowed to ride Taxi Jam, so: 16. Wild Beaste 15. Flight Deck 14. Silver Streak 13. Bat 12. Fly 11. Ghoster Coaster 10. Wonder Mt Guardian 9. Thunder Run 8. Dragon Fyre 7. Time Warp 6. Minebuster 5. Backlot 4. Vortex 3. Behemoth 2. Leviathan 1. Yukon Striker (but it's so close)

Wilde Beast is the danger zone ride, when it only had a steel latch as its safety restraint. When riding, it loosened up, and I had to hold onto it with my life by bearing my body weight on the bar. Great story to tell, real life horror at the time.

[@katherineblaszczak5721]

We have a very similar taste in roller coasters! I totally agree with your list. I think that the Mountain Guardian can rank much higher because the track is great, but they need to update their effects. I was there this season and could barely see the screens because they were so dark. Also I couldn't hear the soundtrack in the background which would create a better atmosphere if improved. Hopefully they invest in that.

I think the main problem with CW's coaster lineup is that they put quantity over quality. They have so many coasters, but so many look just mediocre or bad. Although I've never been, I wouldn't consider their lineup great until they RMC Wilde Beast.

[@AmusementInsiders]

LoopingProductions I agree 100%

[@GloriaLapointe]

They alway's try to "top" last year's reveal. With how many rides there are now, they're starting to cut out a lot of the scenery and now the park looks like a whole lot of cement and roller coaster supports. That being said though, I do think that it is quite an old park with a large reputation (especially in Canada) that it has to hold up and they need to incorporate these new rides to continue attracting visitors. I'm not upset with the new additions, but I do wish they wouldn't just drop off their old rides like an afterthought and keep the "magic" happening with some of the older 'classic' rides

[@surferdude4487]

I haven't been to CW for eight years now. Yes, riding the Wild beast is painful. So is the similar ride at Darian Lake called the Predator. These rides were designed to be rough. They were rough when they were new (Yes, I rode them when they were new) But they have become rougher with age. The secret to enjoying them is to relax. Trying to hang on harder just results in more pain. Still, this was one of the original rides from the time the park was opened. I would be sad to see it go.

[@stingray1irwin0]

I was ready for some non enthusiast hot takes, and I'm with you on a lot of this stuff, but oh man, I have to disagree on wilde beast, but I respect your opinion and I'm sorry you had that experience. one train is rougher than the other, but I can't recall which. there's something pure and classic and genuinely "wild" about that thing. it's been the first coaster at the park that I've taken a lot of people who haven't been on coasters before on for about twenty years. it's a great icebreaker, and in a light rain, multiple rides in the back are a special treat. but to each their own! I'd love to chat to you one day about my mom's experience babysitting and minding horses on the farm that used to be where the park is now, and brainstorming ideas for how to RMC the minebuster. keep up the work, friend.

btw, if you want lots of airtime on yukon striker, push your elbows up while they put the restraints down so the crew thinks you are just a big person, and then you will practically be able to stand up and its really fun on the drop :D This works for a 13 year old I dont know about other people

[@AmusementInsiders]

Razberry great advice

[@azazelbuzz]

I fell down this rabbit hole a while back. I’m not big into the giant coasters like Leviathan or others with big drops or loops, but this was fascinating to me.

[@Martarini]

Yukon Striker and Leviathan will always be my favourites!! Live an hour from Canadas Wonderland get season pass almost every year and just can’t get enough of riding leviathan

[@juliansharp9331]

I think behemoth is my favourite so far, althought i havent been on leviathan or yukon striker yet.

[@oof9624]

Julian Sharp Levithan is best you should ride it 🤜👍🏻

[@juliansharp9331]

daddy meme legs yea I’m going next week and I’m definitely gonna do it!

[@camwxextreme4125]

I thought that to till I rid Yukon striker and leviathan…

[@thebrantfordrailfan]

Vortex does seem a bit rougher. I don't remember it being quite as rough as it was when i rode it back in 2016 and 2018, i rode it this past wednesday and it is a bit painful as my lower back keeps bumping against the seat right against my tailbone!

[@AmusementInsiders]

TheBrantfordRailfan yeah it’s a bit sad but it is something that can be fixed :)

[@TK-lw9hx]

great video, loved it. I am going there for the first time on Monday, Aug 26. Grateful if you could share some tips for maximum efficiency i.e. which coaster to go first, how to reduce wait time (without express pass). thanks

[@dturner5918]

Last time I went on the minebuster gave me a concussion

[@AmusementInsiders]

D Turner oh no!

[@iateabrick1244]

on time warp you literally feel like you’re about to fall out the bottom. from experience being short and not feeling secure

[@jinintoniq214]

LOL time warp is such a thrill though, ur literally lying down in a strapped tube thing flying through the air. I thought I was gonna dye and the first drop almost made me shart myself

[@AmusementInsiders]

Jo Jo I can see why people would like time warp

[@jinintoniq214]

Amusement Insiders it made me shart myself

[@jinintoniq214]

Amusement Insiders I sharted

[@jinintoniq214]

Amusement Insiders I repeat I sharted on the ride

[@Emma-np8ff]

Jo Jo idk why but this made me laugh. So hard

[@shippybs]

Fun facts: Top Gun was off by about 8” when building the ride. They start building at both ends and meet in the middle. It was off by 8” or so. This may have contributed to the stupidly rough ride. Also a restraint released on the inaugural run with the park executives. One man narrowly avoided death when the rider next to him held the restraint down. G force helped. The seat belts were designed and implemented across all “Top Gun” style coasters in the then Paramount parks group. True.

[@Gacha_Grieve]

I’m going to Canada’s wonderland really soon so I’m going to ride these rides from 17 to 1! I’m really exited

[@Lyly-qo3ij]

I don’t like any of these rides except for the taxi jam because I’m hella scared of heights and roller coasters 😂😂😂😂

[@jinintoniq214]

Try silver streak it’s a lot of fun and it’s not that scary

[@mayabet6122]

Or ghosted coaster but it’s a bit jerky

[@AmusementInsiders]

Lynda Montoya awe, give them a try

[@AmusementInsiders]

Jo Jo agreed

[@AmusementInsiders]

Maya Maya maya yeah 😁

[@StamfordBridge]

From my one (two-day) visit last summer: 1. Behemoth (best B&M hyper I’ve been on so far, and I’ve been on almost all the North American ones) 2. Leviathan (SO much better at the end of the day than earlier! Great ride but I really felt the shortness. Very close in ranking to Behemoth, maybe better) 3. Vortex (I loved the drop off the mountain) 4. Thunder Run (loved the weird originality)

[@AmusementInsiders]

StamfordBridge that’s a respectable list 🤭

[@vanzesvillainy]

I had the same experience on the Wilde Beast as you did, with lower back issues and feeling as if something slipped out of place lol. As classic of a coaster as it is, I think it needs the RMC treatment at this point, because I remember the first time I'd ever been to the park, it derailed on the lower track just as I was leaving for the night,, from that day on, I refuse to set foot back on it, so I think it's due time to give it some special treatment

[@lisamadison13]

Flight deck is SO painful lol. I think for me the bat and behemoth are my favourites and always have been

[@ArgentineBoy]

It’s was a ok list I would tweak some of the ride spots but over all👍

[@AmusementInsiders]

Vincent Miller ahaha thank you. Yeah I’m weird I know haha don’t worry

[@msmellymel85]

I agree with your list only it hurts me when I hear Vortex is hurting this year. As Wonderland is my home park and Votex is very near to my heart & one of my favorites. Why the change? It was hauling last year what happened? Can't wait to ride Yukon this year and see how it lines up with my list. Also R.I.P. W.B. it needs to go! I was I so much pain last year when we decided to ride it, only because of the no line in fast lane. And after our ride I regretted it and went straight to Vortex to cheer me up. Love your vlogs and keep up the great work ♥️🇨🇦🎢

[@AmusementInsiders]

Melissa thanks so much for your kind words and yeah it does suck but it’s something that can be easily fixed 🤗

[@sodaspeak3437]

Leviathan - I almost passed out the first time I rode this ride. Sure enough though, after the deadly drop, you feel light as a feather as you speed through the vast distance that overhangs into the parking lot. Plus its hilarious as fuck whenever a millennial loses their phone trying to record themselves on the ride. Yukon Striker - This one is such a gas. Travelling throughout most of the west end of the park is such a feat. The experience flies by you without any warning. The fact that this SOB stops just before you drop is such a dick move but it just makes it all the more amazing. Behemoth - The tamest of the super coasters which has sadly diminished it's popularity over time as bigger and badder rides are installed. Still, if Leviathan and Striker are too busy, you are usually guaranteed short lines at Behemoth. Vortex - I appreciate this ride more because of the scope of going to the top of Wonderland Mountain and soaring over the pond. Wish I could store my bag in a bin where it's safe. Backlot Stunt Coaster - This one is a banger. I remember when my friend went on it with me for the first time, I warned him that this ride goes fast. One second later, we blasted like a rocket. The Fly - Probably the worst line in the entire park for what it is. There's an undeniable pleasure one gets from the sharp twists and turns from Fly. Shame it's always busy and the ride is over before you even know it. Flight Deck - Kay, I used to get whiplash on this ride until I learned that if you press your head against the headrest as hard as humanly possible, you can prevent buffeting against your restraints. Bonus points since my friends and I loved singing Danger Zone or All Star during the entire ride. Ghoster Coaster - I had such fond memories of riding this at night when I was a young Scooby Doo enthusiast. It's a bit weird still going on it as an adult but it's the most nostalgic ride for me. Silver Streak - Such a humble steel coaster. Nothing amazing but it's so cute and brisk. The Bat - I'm always scared that this thing is gonna break right in the middle of a loop and we all hang upside down for three hours straight... It is nice that there's a group line and a single rider line. Wilde Beast - Much like Minebuster in terms of a crummy wooden coaster. I can barely fit in the seat due to the extra padding now. Still fun on occasion. Thunder Run - The lines for this one are excruciatingly long since every ride has two cycles. It's fine but far from my favourite. Vortex is better. Wonder Mountain Guardian - Sucks that you have to pay a locker fee to store your stuff rather than keep it in a bin. Still miles better than that POS Boo Blaster ride that barely works anymore. Dragon Fire - Pretty boring ride considering it's competition. Very overshadowed. Taxi Jam - It's for kids. I never went on it so I can't say anything. Minebuster - A really bumpy pain in the ass. I hate how sore I feel after each experience. Granted, they did improve it last time but I still find it less fun than the other coasters. Time Warp - Oh fucking hell, I hate the amount of pain I get from this ride. My head gets buffeted, my ears get boxed and it's uncomfortable all throughout. The one ride I actively avoid.

[@JeremyCoasters]

Great Video!! Leviathan is hauling so much this year!!

[@AmusementInsiders]

Jeremy Coasters I agree! Absolutely love it

[@NishantKumar-tc5gd]

I agree with behemot as 4th and than minebuster and i would put youkon in 2 place too and i would put levithan first because of its speed 130/150 km/h.😍😍

[@AmusementInsiders]

Nishant Kumar yay 😁

[@StamfordBridge]

Wonder Mountain’s Guardian needs ropes/railing inside the cave portion of the queue to narrow the line to prevent mobbing. The chaos that I experienced in that ride’s line should never be allowed to happen at any serious amusement park.

[@AmusementInsiders]

StamfordBridge I haven’t experienced chaos. Just poorly done theming

[@StamfordBridge]

Amusement Insiders Wow. The whole line from start to end was a chaotic mob, with everyone pushing and trying to jockey forward all at once, and no supervision. In fact, I experienced more cutting at CW all over the park than any other park I’ve ever been to (and I’ve been to a LOT). So my experience was not the normal CW experience?

[@triplej755]

When you first said Flight Deck was your least favorite, I was like ‘YEEESSSS!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉’ out loud.

[@maesenwhiteside8364]

Great video! I 100% agree with the backlot stunt coaster, it's my favourite coaster at the park so far! (I haven't been on all of them). The fly was OK but I prefer the ones that go faster :D

[@RedKnight-fn6jr]

Minebuster @3 Wow! I thought you'd be putting that at 17!

[@AmusementInsiders]

Red Knight 2014 haha I’m enjoying it this season for some reason

[@christinecarreiro7984]

I agree

[@samechi6204]

Btw, thunder run is much faster now Edit when I ride the fly, I keep on bumping into the cart on those turns ,.,

[@AmusementInsiders]

Itz Eli12! I’ll have to check it out :)

[@gwyn2802]

definitely a lot of movement with the fly. I've gone on it since I was small, and I've almost always noticed that there's lots of movement and discomfort. I wish there were stronger belts and restraints on that.

[@ayeshanasir3919]

Thanks for the amazing review. Wilde Beast was quite up in my list and I thought that it would stay that way but the fact that it is super shaky and bumpy makes it somehow uncomfortable and makes Ghoster Coaster and Canadian Minebuster better which are my top favorites. I have been on most of the roller coasters but complete inversions in some roller coasters make it uncomfortable too. Twists and turns are fine. Backlot Stunt Coaster and Vortex are super thrilling and enjoyable. 😃 Yukon and Behemoth are scary 😑

[@InvalidUserProfile]

I love the Vekoma SLC, Top Gun, or Flight deck lol. I also loved and miss the TOGO Skyrider, but I am happy she is still running in Italy. Vortex is probably my favourite followed by Behemoth. I am grateful that our park has kept it's original rides like The Great Canadian Minebuster, Wilde Beast and Dragon Fyre. Got my 2020 season pass and I am just dying to use it, damn this health crisis. I miss the Days of Thunder motion simulator and Jet Scream. Have so many memories in this park and I have so many pictures and on ride photos I will cherish forever. Didn't make it out last season, so I am really waiting for the Yukon Striker experience first hand and not on ride POV's. Thanks for the video.

[@OGpenguinBTW]

What is your secret of making this coaster fun

[@hihi-tj2ef]

I’m not allowed on flight deck it is hurting my head dragon fire would be good but bangs my head

[@TommyRx]

I’m not even gonna lie the fly was hell a scary when I went on it. Those turns that it did made me feel like I was riding in a sketchy Uber ride. Just feeling like I’ll fall off 👏🏽😂

[@AmusementInsiders]

I love you 3000 Gaming it’s so much fun

[@OklahomaCoasterFan]

You're so right about the rain. I arrived the afternoon of June 10th, just before the rain hit. I loved that they kept the rides running in the rain. My Leviathan rain ride was better than any Fury ride I've had. There were no lines, not even for Yukon Striker. Regarding Vortex, it wasn't as smooth as the other similar suspended coasters I've done, Bat-KI and Ninja-SFMM. But i still liked Vortex.

[@AmusementInsiders]

Iron Rattler fanboy that’s really awesome to hear 🤗

[@56jetman]

We were there on another cool rainy day and, while the bean-counters at CW probably weren't too happy, the lack of crowds made for a good day. I agree that Leviathan in the rain was fun, even if I was shivering by the time it was over.

[@OklahomaCoasterFan]

Fortunately for me, it wasn't too chilly on my rainy day. Everything I was wearing or had on me was waterproof or made for being wet, even my shoes. I did end up leaving an hour early, as the rain just got to be too heavy by that time. But Time Warp in the heavy rain was fine, since the rain doesn't hit your face directly.

[@Yk-lk6wh]

As a Canadian thrill seeker, my list is almost a duplicate as yours but my respect for family friendly rides is not even comparable to the respect you give it (you gives these rides a lot of love)

[@jacobsimoneau101]

i went on the flight deck and i was scared to lose my shoes more than anything

[@katiem7982]

I hope they never remove Wilde beast because it is one of the only wooden rides and if you don't like it don't go on it.

[@elizabethsz.8842]

I’ve ridden the vortex this season and it was SUPER fun! Although my back really hurt after from all the sudden turns. But I would go on again for sure

[@hisshissmotherheckers1927]

Completely agree with leviathan, it’s fun as hell. I went to Canada’s wonderland a week ago and I went on leviathan 18 times. Best experience ever

Thx

[@steffani1989]

You are bang on with the Vortex! It was always my favourite for the past 20 years or so.... but I rode it recently and the bumps gave me a headache. I thought maybe because at 32 I'm no longer an invincible teenager, but I was pretty sore after :(

[@Jumatico]

Jeez I need to go, been a few years. Love the vid. I miss when it was paramount

[@williammoon9337]

imo, Minebuster is way more painful and rattles more than Wilde Beast. It might just be me tho.

[@thefivepines]

yeah just you!

[@AmusementInsiders]

RITE On Target we all have different things that set us off

[@mangomochi8815]

This year Vortex seems to be a lot faster

[@AmusementInsiders]

Mango Mochi yeah I’d agree

[@angrypooh9420]

I agree with you with Wilde beast, It really hurts, and the Time warp... I’m 4 foot 11 and during time warp being short was not fun. My brothers loved it though, they’re all 6 foot. But I love the Backlot stunt coaster, Leviathan, Yukon Striker, and I haven’t been on the behemoth recently though! Nice video!

[@mandykinnonencommentaccoun8402]

I cried on the fly... I hate it. My favourite one is. Thunder run . It is because it’s a small one, but it goes around 3 times.
