AlpenFury Analysis | Canada's Wonderland New for 2025 Multi Launch Coaster with NINE Inversions!

[@Mylifeislikeavideogame]

the fact that Canada’s wonderland has 19 coasters now is insane. They can just add two kiddie coasters and then boom they have the record for most coasters in a park (for now)

[@JJJJ-he8bz]

They may have 19 but only 4 of them are good

[@laxris6563]

​@@JJJJ-he8bzrecent*

[@bretthollingshead7810]

Disagree, there’s a solid 6-7 of them that are good. Alpenfury, Yukon striker, leviathan, behemoth ofc But vortex & dragon fire are massively underrated

[@subwaydaddy]

[@A.H-z5r]

@@bretthollingshead7810personally I like Wilde beast more than dragon fire

[@coastaku1954]

One thing people are forgetting to mention is that there are a lot of firsts for Canadians here. We've never had a Zero-G Stall before, or an actually fast launch, never had an inverting top hat either, and we've never really had snappy transitions. This might be Canada's first ever modern Intense coaster, something like Maverick

[@ramheader4635]

Will hopefully spread out the lines a bit, Wonderland was in desperate need of another blue ribbon ride because every ride had ridiculous lines, even the smaller ones. It’s about time.

[@MattRix]

@@ramheader4635 I mean... I wish this were true, but in reality it'll probably just draw more people to the park overall... meaning longer lines for everything.

Let’s be honest, Canada’s Wonderland deserved this one, more than KD. It is the most visited Cedar Fair park, with a subpar coaster lineup.

[@dogsinthedark]

Isn't Knott's more visited than Canada's Wonderland?

[@xzqrut]

@@dogsinthedark By a straight number, just barely. BUT, Canada's Wonderland open May-October, and even then only weekends in September/October. Knott's I think is open 364 days a year, I think...So from a seasonal perspective, not even close.

[@dogsinthedark]

@@xzqrut Yeah, I know. Just you should've mentioned that you meant average visitors per day. Have a good day.

[@drdewott9154]

@@xzqrut Yup. Plus its located right in the suburbs of Toronto. And it may get quite overlooked since its in Canada but Toronto is still one of the largest cities on the continent, larger than Chicago! And Canada's Wonderland is not even far out of the city, heck there are proposals to extend the Subway there and it's only a little bit away from the current end of the line! On top of that along with it and La Ronde being the only 2 large scale theme parks in Canada, you just have a recipe for huge attendance!

[@ssicari]

I think the repeting rolls are going to be really cool. I like a layout trying to push the limits in one sensation at the expense of not featuring other sensations.

[@Patexer]

No comfort collars confirmed by the park’s director of communication!!! 🥳

[@kmccurdy21]

Thats awesome..

[@rogerbordine7]

Totally agree on adding an airtime hill instead of the odd double-inversion after the turnaround, even a big outer-banked airtime hill there would fit better.

[@HumanStateOfEmergency]

This ride is beautiful. Off ride shots in the animation make me love it even more. Im obsessed with the floating support that connects to both of the roll tracks and the structure, shape and size of the supports sustaining the inverted top hat. Specially the right one that continues all the way down supporting the rest of the drop. 😍 I think Premier supports are officially my favorite. I have new appreciation for Premier. This ride looks awesome.

[@shorty060506]

People question the Volcano aspect with the fire and all, but many people don’t know for the millennium in 2000 Wonder Mountain had a show called Eruption where they shot fire off the top as if it was, well, erupting. Its hard to find footage but if you dig you can see it. Kinda nice to see Wonderland bringing that back even if most people don’t know about it.

[@PaulC112]

I had an old video of that show on an old phone. I no longer have the footage.. :( it was a decent show from what I remember. With fire and projections etc

[@GeoGirl2008]

Honestly, I don't think the fire is a volcano. Just looking at the layout, and knowing what lives in the mountain (thanks to riding thunder run) I think you're riding a dragon

[@djeez553]

Much needed coaster, the park will have a solid top five of this + the big three and Vortex. With all their flat rides and offerings, it is now a world class park.

[@JJJJ-he8bz]

KD has one of the top 3 coasters in the entire country with I305 and they have an RMC. They already got a coaster in 2022 and now they are getting a launched wing coaster. They aren’t getting neglected at all. Canada Wonderland has the highest attendance

[@puggersss]

IMO top 3 in the country is a stretch but i agree

[@asapmix1315]

+ i dont think KD is quite done this decade, i think later on in 2028/29 that they announce another ride BECAUSE they have cleared out and walled up the area somewhat next to Grizzly which is an empty spot and a pretty huge chunk of land perfect for a new big ride

[@JJJJ-he8bz]

@@puggersss There is not any coasters that come close to I305 except Steel Vengeance and Fury. It’s a unicorn and I’d fly to Richmond just to ride that alone.

[@puggersss]

@@JJJJ-he8bzPersonally i'd take el toro and the other two you've listed over i305. With that said, I understand everyone's got different opinions

[@JJJJ-he8bz]

@@puggersssI can’t say El toro was closed during my visit because of its accident. Yes Steel Vengeance and Fury are better but it’s by a very tiny margin in fact there are times I thought I305 might be the best of the 3 but then its major flaw showed which is that it’s very hard on the body over time.

[@ethanhale990]

I live 30 min away from Wonderland. I can’t tell you how long I have been WAITING for a launch coaster. Idc if the trains are bad, WE NEED THIS! only thing left for Wonderland is an RMC makeover. Wilde beast is collecting dust in the corner of the park

@@GoudLoodje this was most likely planned before anyone knew about Thundervolt, so it's just a coincidence they're taking the record back

This is the same park that outdoes THEMSELVES, just cause they were bored one day in 2012. Also, expect another Premier Launch coaster in the Cedar Flags chain. Whatever Wonderland gets, some parks usually follow (Behemoth lead to Diamondback and Intimidator, Leviathan lead to Fury 325 and Orion)

[@johncunningham1889]

I actually really like the constant rolls on the return trip. The back and forth roll into the two rolls that kind of rush downward weaving the first section of track is just so cool. I bet it's going to feel like you're just whipping along at a breakneck pace.

[@GeoGirl2008]

I think it looks like you're riding a dragon

[@puccipower]

This is NUTS. It is beautiful and looks so epic

[@lizardboy2089]

the double roll after the treble cleff reminds me of the lagoon roll where it rolls one way, stalls at 90, then rolls the other way

[@anonymous_preferred7737]

This looks like the best Premier coaster by far.

[@caleblanting1226]

If you remember when Twisted Timbers was announced, people thought those 3 airtime hills would feel repetitive, that maybe they should have added an inversion or something. After riding it though, people were SOLD on the 3 ejector hills. I hope AlpenFury has the same effect from similar speculation.

[@tomw485]

People are too hung up on airtime. This layout looks super unique and awesome. Yes airtime is great but anyone that’s been on an RMC knows how a bunch of airtime hills feel like and I’m not looking for a new coaster to try to replicate that. What this looks like to me is that it will offer sensations more akin to the Mosasaurus roll from Velocicoaster and death roll from Iron Gwazi with all of the tight down dropping rolls and corkscrews which were the highlights of those rides. But appears to dial all of that up even higher and jam packs so much into not that much track. The problem with these coaster nerds is they get way too hung up on the intricacies on whether it’s a perfectly balanced multidimensional ride that ticks every box…”well it’s got to be this long enough with this pacing and this variety of elements, with a cool queue line, state of the art theming with holograms, blah blah blah…”. Who cares. the only thing that matters is that it makes you say “hell yeah! Let’s ride it again!”

[@johncunningham1889]

I agree, and actually thing the idea of 4 rolls that just come one after another rapid fire, especially weaving with the other track, is SICK, it's not something you see a lot.

[@naneunshoothoothoot]

Agree. This is an inversion focused/barrel roll focused ride. It doesn’t pretend to be a jack of all trades type and I love that.

[@johncunningham1889]

@@naneunshoothoothoot What doesn't make sense is how Taylor was saying this park already has great airtime in other coasters, but then wants an airtime hill on this coaster like why? This coaster looks like it's nailing what it intends to do.

[@CdnMoose3482]

@@johncunningham1889 CW has loads of floater airtime in Leviathan and especially Behemoth but it doesn't have any true ejector airtime and a low to the ground launch coaster (which this coaster will be) is one of the best ways to get it. Behemoth used to give sustained ejector airtime on it's second camelback which for a period made it the best B&M hyper in the world imo but they added a trim to that 2nd camelback which completely kills the trains momentum and also removes some of its floater airtime later on in the course which is sad. I think the new coaster will still be great but I really hope Wonderlands next coaster brings something more ejector airtime focused because that's one of the main things the park will still be missing I think it would have been cool to have some included in this new coaster.

[@naneunshoothoothoot]

Don’t really care that this coaster does not have more airtime. This is my home park and I’m happy they focused on inversions instead. We have Behemoth and Leviathan for that. Ejector can wait til the next coaster - hopefully an RMC Wilde Beast conversion with extension to the go carts. If anything, they could have added another barrel roll under Vortex’s lift hill back to the station instead of the mini double up.

Nice that canadas wonderland is finally getting another major thrill coaster!

[@mackenziefritz8169]

I find it funny how in your reaction video you said it’s cool how they didn’t go with traditional loop-like inversions (dive loop, cobra roll, immelmann, vertical loop etc), yet I feel like throwing a couple of those in the layout would make it feel far less repetitive than the constant barrel roll maneuvers on the return trip

[@CaseFamilyVlogs]

It honestly looks amazing. Hopefully for 2026, Kings Island gets something like this!

[@ManuelZ22]

Front line ride will have an awesome view.

[@CivilianSatellite]

The double inversion after the turnaround reminds me of the Double Inverting Stall on Untamed or the Lagoon Roll on Cannibal. Based on the oddball forces you get during those elements, I think it'll be enough on AlpenFury to differentiate it from the subsequent back-to-back rolls.

[@RMCToo]

I cannot believe how INCREDIBLE this looks and sounds! Wow....hopefully it will not disappoint! Richard

[@SamWitney]

Finally a coaster that is unique and not just a copy and paste like Yukon Striker and Leviathan are. That top hat looks pretty awesome coming up through through the mountain into it. The only thing about this launch coaster is it doesn't use the square cube tracks like a lot of launch coasters use to zip you around super fast into turns, or barrel rolls. Due to the same thing over and over again and not cube tracks. It'll feel slower and more boring with more rides on it. A lot of this is due to limited space though at the park and I think they did an awesome job on it considering the lack of space and area they are having to put it. And it'll be another fun coaster to the park which is always awesome. They really should replace some of the really old coasters though with new ones that will offer up more options.

[@The_Tedstar]

I think the rolls will feel different enough to add variety and not feel repetitive. Like how the smiler has alot of inversions that look similar but feel different.
