Canada's Wonderlands AlpenFury Analysis

[@davidm469]

This is Exactly what I wanted and Exactly what Wonderland needed. Just a sick coasting ride with inversions. Perfect

[@kevincui5282]

I wonder how Playland in Vancouver is feeling after seeing this. They pushed hard to market Thundervolt, their new Zamperla coaster, as Canada’s fastest launch coaster, and will be holding that record for less than a year!

[@corybourrier9722]

Playland can step up their game, lol

[@mitchellhoday7834]

LFG!!!!!

[@FahrenheitFan97]

don't really think a local park on the other side of the country is really in competition here

[@zeeshawnali4078]

@@FahrenheitFan97 Yeah exactly. Like I'm wouldn't be disappointed riding something in Wonderland because another park across the country has something better 🤷‍♂

[@ytzpilot]

The two parks aren't really competition they are too far from each other and Playland is too small a park so not in the same league

[@stephenboshears4832]

I’m patting myself on the back, I correctly assumed that they would go for the launch coaster inversion record.

what coaster has the launched inversion record?

Now…..who will be the first to ride Full Throttle and AlpenFury on the same day?

[@idesigncreativestudio]

I love the layout, but my only concern is going to be capacity.

[@andyroman8223]

I can't imagine it taking too long to cycle, since it has a launch instead of a lift, and most parks would stack 3 trains anyways.

[@idesigncreativestudio]

@@andyroman8223 let’s just say they dispatch every 90 seconds (I think it’ll take longer), that’s only 720 riders per hour theoretically. That’s not great especially for a ride of this scale. If the launch into the tunnel is considered a block (it might be), there could be three trains without much to any stacking. With the crowds this park gets, it is quite puzzling.

[@Danrarbc]

@@idesigncreativestudio launch every 90 seconds would mean the first train stacks. This thing is more likely to aim at a 60-70 second interval which would be in the 1000 riders per hour ballpark. If they can hit 50 seconds that’d be closer to 1200.

[@TR_145]

@@Danrarbc The problem is people taking 15 years to put their stuff in the bins. People take their sweet-ass time with zero regard for how quickly the ops are trying to dispatch a train.

[@Danrarbc]

@@TR_145 This ride has airtime and inversion elements above guest pathways. It's going to need a zero loose items policy. This is a GREAT candidate for a free dual-sided locker system in the queue just like Steel Vengeance now has and VelociCoaster always has had. With essentially zero items in the station it dramatically speeds up load and unload.

[@johnboulanger807]

Would have liked an additional launch and bigger element at Skyflyer plot of land and maybe a little longer of a ride but overall the ride appears extremely fun, intense and unique. Colour scheme is perfect and the added touching the fire blast will be great for visuals on the ground. I am not a fan of tight twists and turns so I think I will prefer this layout over Velocicoaster. Also glad this has no spike or stop/restarts (like Maverick). Just hauls from start to finish.

[@fantasy8833]

I guess AlpenFury will be the ICE, and Vortex will be the FIRE

[@chefboyardeeznutsinyourmouth]

Vortex is wind

[@felixsromero]

Ride capacity for such a busy park sucks. Love the rush of the ride. Looks like the mountaim is getting a frost look. As for the skyflier piece of land. It gives space for a future coaster to run through it, over the entrance and maybe leviathan. Every time they go through other coasters it adds to each. As for the minute and a half. You got to remember that it takes longer than that to unload and reload the coasters.. with they added one more car to each train or made it a four wide.

[@lumist]

I'm so unbelievably excited for AlpenFury! The only things I'm really concerned about are the train design and capacity.

[@mary_berries]

They announced it earlier than I thought!! As soon as I saw that the park posted the POV, I jumped out of bed!! Listen, COLOUR SCHEME IS GREAT!! Loving the white. THE NINE INVERSIONS TOO!! Seems to be tied with Steel Curtain. ALSO, THE SKYFLYER LOOP!! Seems like the ride is gonna be lap bar only too which I wanted!!

[@TheRandomView]

In the animation, they show a fire blast as the coaster exits the mountain. If they do that, I wonder if they'd have to have a pyro expert on site. If so, maybe they can bring back the fire effects on Backlot Coaster. That would be so fantastic!

[@mack_r-s]

I fucking called it! I theorized in a Discord call yesterday that the coaster would have some near misses, but not with dueling trains like many others thought. Rather, with two separate trains going through the same track! LETS GOOOOO!!!

[@JohnHurlbut-v8x]

I had a feeling that they would come out with a ride like this. I was at Canadas wonderland last year for Halloween haunt and they had somewhat video playing on the tv’s while standing in line with a preview of a ride. I told my friend of mine that I bet that’s a new ride be coming sometime soon. Canadas wonderland was giving out hints way before they were putting out the clues for us to guess. I’m originally from Ontario but now living in Alberta. I try to fly home every year just to get to Wonderland.

[@mig4868]

What a beautiful frosty color😍. This'll easily be top 2 in the park.

[@Pad22]

The colors on the coaster are different between the two videos they released

[@hockeyislife7686]

Wonderland did exactly what I wanted them to do and that was to not disappoint!

[@valorfaith9426]

I don’t think Wonderland cares about capacity. I went on The Guardian a couple weeks ago… short line, but took FOREVER! None of the tv screens about the ride’s story were on. Constantly had to stop and reset. One train had only 2 out of 8 seats operating because the guns didn’t work. It’s apparently no longer 3D, the sound is trash, and it’s now so light inside the mountain you can see the screens and ride mechanics. A few years back it was a great ride with a faster line. Why do they keep it open if they can’t maintain it? I figured they didn’t bother because this new coaster going through the mountain would mean getting rid of The Guardian, but the video shows it’s still there.

[@zachery4742]

I’ve been telling yall Premier was gonna cook with this layout. It looks incredible!

[@SanchitSharma-pk7ln]

I love how you explain everything you made it very easy to understand and i thank you very much for these videos! And i totally agree about the low capacity! Thanks!

[@y2lukin]

Looks amazing! Incredibly fast with no let up. Exactly what the park needed for thrills. Capacity is another story.

[@fuzzymcuppets6167]

The only thing left to do at Canadas Wonderland would be to convert Wilde Beast into an RMC coaster and throw in an inversion or two....

[@murvo]

This reminds me of the Velocicoaster in universal, this seems incredible! The queue is going to be HORRENDOUS though lmao.

[@jasonbyl8695]

Its a great Wonderland coaster. Love that its low to the ground. Capacity might be an issue. Wish there was more theming

[@GeraldNewell1975]

the positive thing about setting moderate expectations is being overjoyed at 5:30 in the morning when I watched the POV. The launch out of the mountain is going to be epic and the layout is amazing BUT and these are 2 big buts...capacity is going to suck and the line up for this is going to be horrible and a lot of people have fears of the trains being uncomfortable.

[@KevinT3141]

I'm was immediately nervous about capacity as soon as I saw those numbers. Wonderland's B&Ms are such capacity beasts, this feels like a step backwards.

[@anthonymartens4288]

This looks absolutely INSANE!!! And incredible layout, color scheme, and 9 INVERSIONS?! WOW!!!! WHAT A SURPRISE!! Can't wait for this ride to come to Canada's Wonderland in 2025!!!! Looks insanely fun though!! And I loved how they made the teaser video! With graphics and the hype! CANNOT WAIT!!

[@JasmineDreams]

[@williamWOOF1]

Wow, I cant believe how close you came with your prediction. I’m EXTREMELY concerned about the fact of 2 x 18 person trains🤔🤔 That doesn’t make sense for a park as busy at this one is. Thank you again for all your updates and will be following as you continue to show construction. I can’t wait to ride it.

[@TheNinjaDC]

Everything seems great, besides the baffling 2 train operation. If they didn't want a mid course they could have did what B&M has been doing lately and have an extended brakerun that can hold 2/3 trains. My other concern is the number of inversions. They look fantastic, but with so many the odds of it having not-so-comfortable collars goes up.

[@asterisks3062]

It looks like it's not having the collars

[@TheNinjaDC]

@@asterisks3062 With 9 inversions, I doubt. But boy. Do I wish I am wrong. There trains are not really that bad with lap bar only.

[@Duffster115]

@@TheNinjaDCwhile a different manufacture with S&S world Wide with steel Curtain, but Curtian at Kennywood has 9 inversions just like this all with only a lap bar and a seatbelt, so it’s possible it’s just up to premier and Canada’s wonderland as to if they want to have the comfort collers or not

so quick releasing these videos, as much as we all love them, make sure to take care of yourself. PS. your rendition / new coaster name / layout was better then what we are getting. of course wonderland releases a dumb down version. Also note the large space where extreme was for future ride options.

[@michaelcraik2951]

Definitely a very cool ride. Ride Capacity will be in question. They need to completely eliminate loose articles... I mean everything. No baskets, No drinks, No knapsacks....Nothing. It will take so much longer to load and unload. Fast pass? Will they open the ride early every day for season pass holders? Maybe Prestige Pass Holders? Lots of questions to be answered today. I am sure CW is still making plans on everything.

Bro yes it Finally out I’m so excited to ride this Beauty Of a launch coaster!! 🤩😁😎

For such a big ride, I hope the trains are improved and there is enough capacity to handle the crowds I can expect occurring

[@AirplanesAndAirtime]

10:21 not to brag but I made a prediction layout and got so much right, from the inversion on the top hat to there not being any elements in the mtn, to the little hill over the path, and the element at front gate, the stall, I did think there was gonna be a 3rd launch tho Im just really proud I got this right I was NOT expecting the bam bam bam of the 2nd half and I wish there was at least one straight ejector hill but there isn’t much airtime on this Also who tf thought 9 INVERSIONS THATS CRAZY

[@GalcianBTH]

Canada's Wonderland got the Volcano reimangine that KD deserved.

[@darrienpaul]

[@briandevine8292]

[@x-coasters]

Great addition, definitely could’ve used some more airtime moments and 2 more trains for capacity. This feels like a more worthy successor to volcano then Raptera.

[@CaptureKing247]

Based on the terrible capacity for a park this size, it should have been a dualing / racing coaster. One side is fire the other is ice. But having the track go through the mountain, prevented this option

[@julianhudson7811]

Wonderland and Premier have knocked it out of the park with this one. I love the colour scheme, the pacing is good, and I love the backstory for the ride. Can't wait to ride it when it opens next year!

What's weirding me out is how Pantheon is longer and faster but feels like a short ride while this one feels like it goes on a while

@@lastone032085 I think Pantheon feels so short because it doesn't have that many elements. It basically only has 4-5 big elements after the main launch.

[@rabrit]

BLOWN AWAY 😮

[@wmanz14_25]

I think the fire aspect on the top of the mountain was just for show, I personally don’t believe that there will be a fire aspect since Canada’s Wonderland has steered away from pyrotechnics ever since backlot stunt coaster’s fire part was taken out. I also think it being on top of the mountain being near the trees and foliage as well as the riders and vortex it may not be as ideal on windy days. For them to turn it on and off depending on the circumstances it would be a pain.

[@jasonstamp10]

I was kind of hoping for a taller top hat type of element as the turn around element at the front of the park to be visually impressive since the park doesn't have that but I like the shape of this one. The length and twists and turns are pretty good but the actual ride time is always so short so hopefully it's fun and worth it with that inevitable long wait time. Hopefully they are really efficient at loading and unloading with such a low train capacity. I like how this interacts with the mountain, Vortex and Guardian. The mountain does look in better shape in the rendering though than in real life lol. I'm going to assume that this likely won't be accommodating to larger riders since it's another lap bar train, so I may not even be able to ride it anyway. I wish Wonderland would be more accommodating with their big rides like the couple of seats on Yukon Striker or like Disney and Universal is, or have more rides that use shoulder restraints like Vortex and Dragon Fire.

[@TheSonicsean]

I don't know why they didn't just say it has the most inversions in North America period. Yeah it's tied (though at this rate it'll open before Steel Curtain reopens) but it's still technically true. Unless Gene found an Intamin 10 inversion in the scrapyard

Notice how we kind of got that inverted top hat we all wanted, just not in the area we suspected. We kind have have an inverted top hat out of the mountain

[@markmcg.5641]

Certainly not too bad a coaster, and one CW definitely needed. Not a huge fan of inversions, just to claim a record, but these kind of inversions are much preferred over any of the 80's-90's looping coaster inversions. It seems like they actually stuck more to the survey diagram from last year with the coasters exit from the mountain. Lets hope they fix up the mountain exterior after its installation, as it has been looking pretty 'run down' over the years. Very pleased with this and hope we get back to waiting no more than three years for our next coasters.

Lol I also called it that when I saw it

[@Pad22]

The only thing I wish is more done in the mountain. They teased with a lot of theming, but I feel like they could have done more with the mountain element rather than go straight through. That might have allowed them to go with 3 trains by adding a brake/launch after some mountain elements. Oh well.

[@moebius21]

Agreed. It would have been great to coil through the mountain at least once before launching out of it.

[@marlinfan14]

If you blow up a shot if the coaster it is designed to look like those old wooden sleds with the red metal skis on em lmao. 😂

[@BOBSBOWLINGSTUFF]

A nice little low-capacity family coaster, just like Velocicoaster, oh, but wait . . with no theming! No theming inside the mountain, and once you come out of the mountain, alas, still no theming. Just like most of Wonderland's coasters. Great story, great coaster, but absolutely no theming. I might actually goes on this coaster which tells you that it is a family coaster. People who still want a big drop will still be lining up for Behemoth/Leviathan/Yukon. If they put in actual theming like in the video, now they would have something special. They even have some kind of lightning ice blast inside the tunnel in the video, and where is the fire as you blast out? Oh wait, the official Canada's Wonderland POV has no theming either, my bad.

As for weather it’s opened or not for winterfest Kennywood typically doesn’t have their premier rides launch coaster with Sky Rocket opened durring their Christmas event and I think our winters are warmer, and on colder days durring phantom fall fest Sky Rocket runs slow, so keep in mind it probably won’t be able to be opened for winter.
