Shunned by the World's WORST Coaster - My Return to Canada's Wonderland (June 2023)

On June 28th 2023, I made my grand return to Canada's Wonderland to pick up some new credits, ride the world's worst coaster still in operation, and for Sophie to ride her 200th coaster.

You know a true coaster enthusiast when you see him walking from his budget hotel all the way to the entrance.

[@AirtimeThrills]

Haha usually I'm all about the budget hotels but with the girls i book nicer ones. We stayed at the monte carlo

[@ryanweatherby9571]

@@AirtimeThrills Monte Carlo is a budget hotel my dude. We don't typically have nofrills options like Motel 6 near any amenities.

[@AirtimeThrills]

@@ryanweatherby9571 Oh ok well for me that's a fancy hotel and the Motel 6's, Days Inns, Super 8's are the budget ones. I paid over 250 a night so that was way more than I spent on any other hotel on that trip (Marriotts, Hamptons, Holiday Inns)

[@ryanweatherby9571]

@@AirtimeThrillsIt's the biggest city in the country, and Major Mack is like 4 intersections from the Toronto city border. Hotel prices have skyrocketed post COVID and it would typically be more like $120-150 compared to $250 downtown. Makes Wonderland much more of a home park than a destination - the line up isn't worth the premium of visiting a busy metropolitan area.

[@hunt6811]

You should have a Sophie scale for how good a ride is because she’s very honest. I live vicariously through these videos for wanting more credits.

[@AirtimeThrills]

Yeah a sophie scale would be useful

[@heather1980]

Congrats to Sophie on 200! Awesome accomplishment-keep riding girl it’s always nice to see other girls riding coasters!

[@justinmaybach6388]

I’m glad you got back to Canada’s Wonderland. It obviously wasn’t my home park growing up since I lived near Buffalo but I made several trips with family and friends prior to moving out of New York. I can remember riding coasters like Ghoster Coaster and Silver Streak years before I finally had the courage to ride Predator and Mind Eraser. I’ll agree that this park has lacked when it comes to the quality of some of the coasters, and even though I’ve seen it as a Kings Island sister park for years it feels like Kings Island has gotten much better over time. Also, with how busy that park gets a lot of Canadian families prefer traveling to Darien Lake and spending a weekend in the campground. I know you were there for the coasters and hardly got to ride any flat rides, but in my opinion they probably have the best flat ride collection of any park in North America. I’m not sure there’s any ride out there that compares to Sledge Hammer and since it’s been closed a lot over the years you and Sophie were lucky to get on it. Thanks for sharing these videos as always. Can’t wait for the Darien Lake video whenever you post it.

[@Huntly23]

Best coaster channel and the main reason im an enthusiast! Thank you airtime thrills!

[@alexis_irene16]

Love seeing Sophie get more credits that me 😜😅. Good for you girl!!! I’m only at 150. Hope you all had fun, great video as always. Gotta love the Raging Bull shout out

[@ertw]

This season, Wonderland decided to operate 7 days a week from opening day (typically they only do weekends until high schools let out) and weekdays in May were fantastic. I had a day where I ran through all the coasters (save for Taxi Jam because I didn't have my kid with me, Snoopy's because it wasn't open yet and the wooden coasters because I didn't want to readjust my spine) in an hour and a half. Definitely something to keep in mind if they continue to do full week openings in May for future seasons.

[@clairefunnell8481]

Do hope you enjoyed your day at Canada's Wonderland. I love Yukon, its so insane. There are rumors that Time Warp and Flight Deck are being removed. Dont know if its true. We will be getting a new coaster in 2025. Congrats to Sophie, what a brave girl. Im scared of Leviathan. Amy is a cutie. You could have taken her on Treetop Adventures. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@AirtimeThrills]

Yeah I told my wife about that but after Amy went crazy on the playground at Lost Island she kept her away lol

[@Paolo8772]

Wilde Baast in the front is the only good wooden coaster experience at Canada Wonderland. I also found Time Warp to be worse than Flight deck in the very back row, probably due to little asian girl who's mother asked me to ride with her. Behemoth in the back car is my favourite in the park, followed by Leviathan in either the front or back,, the Yukon Striker, Then Vortex in the back, then Bzck Lot Stunt Coaster, then, Dragon Fyre, then Wilde beast in the front. The park is always slammed; if you get a skip the line pass you're lucky if you ride a coaster every 25 minutes, as it gets more attendance than any other Cedar Fair park including Knott's. Thanks for posting!

[@CNSPORTZEDITZ]

It would really benefit the City of Vaughan if they extended the TTC subway line from Vaughan Metro Centre up to Canada’s Wonderland. That hour long walk would take no more than 10 minutes to traverse.

[@SadCanadianThoosie]

There is a bus from VMC right up to wonderland

[@CNSPORTZEDITZ]

@@SadCanadianThoosie trains are cooler than buses

[@jzckvsn]

Yukon Striker looks interesting. I’m very interested to see what 245 feet on a dive is like

[@queenlilac7608]

Best first drop of any dive i've ever been off. The dive into the lake through Vortex's helix is spectacular.

[@Jack28139]

@@queenlilac7608the vest restraints kill the airtime on the drop but the forces are still very strong.

[@queenlilac7608]

@@Jack28139 i wasn't bothered by the vests really, even with them compressing my chest a bit. That said, i always loved dives for the fast first freefall more than the air time. That feeling of diving into a last minute pull out makes me feel like a fighter pilot. Then striker has a really fun layout after that, so it'll be tough to ever see it get topped as my favourite dive.

[@watson3906]

Yea, it’s the best Dive Coaster in the World, tallest, fastest, longest and a one of kind Element … ATT’s is off his rocker on that one

[@deangraham7063]

Yukon is my favorite dive coaster

[@mdf3530]

For Mighty Canadian Minebuster you should have included a clip of a Canadian professional wrestler like Lance Storm or Edge using the maneuver known as the spinebuster.

[@masterwatermelonthemeparks]

as a very Canadian Canadian I've never been. BUT this summer for my birthday (the 28) I'm going! I'm going with my bff cousin brother mom and dad. we got fast lane so LETS GOO!! my first giga I'm so happy!! Great vlog and I wish the fires would stop, its just said and also... it will probrably be my FAVOURITE coaster in Canada

[@CommanderCalico]

I think Leviathan was a perfect 200 for sophie!

[@ryanstrong1167]

Ride sucks

[@DoswarePictures]

On Saturday I went to Michigan’s Adventure and achieved my tenth credit on Zach’s Zoomer!

[@aquamarine13yt]

Great to see you guys react to the home park haha! My friend and I, both enthusiasts, happened to be there the day you were lol

[@19midway]

Time warp is fantastically bizarre! I would totally ride that 100 times to avoid Flight Deck. It is so rough and I rode it in 2010.

[@YouTubular1234]

So, the reason why Time Warp decided to hide from you was because it knows it’s gonna get ripped out for the next best thing! WING COASTER! Wooo wooo!!!

[@jeffreykregel3821]

Sophie's 100th coaster is better than mine, my 100th was Sidewinder at Hersheypark. Luckily my 200th was more respectful being Goliath at Six Flags over Georgia. As always fun video!

[@19midway]

Marineland!!!!! OMG… that place is a sight to see (it covers a ton of land with not a lot of rides). Dragon coaster seems half finished.

[@KevinT3141]

Glad you got to ride some of the flats, and especially our one-of-a-kind Sledgehammer. I love it, love it, love it and hope that it lasts forever.

[@OklahomaCoasterFan]

I love your sense of humor in these. I rode the SLC at Lost Island last weekend, and yeah, that thing is so horrible. I have it even below Flight Deck. But Matugani is elite! It's too bad that Time Warp wasn't open for you, because I do think it would've been redeemed. It's actually a decent ride if you jam yourself in there (no room to get jostled around). Most importantly, congrats to Sophie on # 200, and a very worthy coaster to get that honor.

[@AirtimeThrills]

I actually did jam my face into the padding last time I rode Time Warp, didn't make it a whole lot better lol

[@pschmidty5]

This might have been the funniest video you have ever made. I was cracking up :)

[@juliehardy2497]

I was at Candada's Wonderland for the first time about a year and a half ago. Just hearing the words "flight deck" gave me war flashbacks. Also Sophie's credit count is now 3x mine. Wow.

[@PikaJaune]

I love Canada's wonderland but my last visit at the park, it was really overcrowded and I didn't enjoy my day as much as I was hoping. I'm glad I finally did Yukon Striker though, it was incredible.

[@extrokurt]

Great video; headed up to that park in a couple months. And go Sophie! I wish my 22-year-old son or my wife liked coasters.

[@rallymana4873]

Went to Canada's Wonderland for the first time yesterday. The 3 B&M are amazing, Leviathan is now my number 1 and Time Warp is the worst thing ever. Oh and Wilde Beast is actually fun, and, in my opinion, the best wooden coaster in Eastern Canada. It was also smoother than Mighty Canadian Minebuster

[@chrislaustin]

Damn, you get the Bubbles "Hardcore" award for those 4 mile walks at each new location. I've got to ask, what's the longest walk you've made by foot to make it to a park opening? And my next question should be obvious, why not get accommodations closer to the parks you attend, so your walk isn't so long? Great videos, especially when Sophie joins you, but I'll leave a thumbs up just for the walks, as that's the least I can do. LOL

[@corkscrewfoley]

Chris, glad you had a much better time this year.

[@JustinParksandRides]

Wow well done Sophie. I think 💭 your credit count is now officially more than El Toro wifey. I mean, correct me if I’m wrong, but I think I’m right 😂🎉🎉❤

[@bschlegs99]

Love the vlogs! Congrats to Sophie on 200! I'm hoping to get back down to World's of Fun soon and make Zambezi my 200!

[@SlimFury]

I loved the Dr. Evil cameo. I am interested in getting up to Canada's Wonderland, but the States just has far too many interesting destinations to visit.

[@Goliath146]

"Even with great operations and no breakdowns" Time warp: are you sure about that

[@Trainmaster909]

Amy grew so much hair since last time we saw her!

[@Jason_Maier]

As I've said about Canada's Wonderland .... outside of the Big 3 (Behemoth, Leviathan and Yukon Striker) the coaster collection isn't that great IMO. What I'd like to see is both wooden coasters (Mighty Canadian Minebuster and Wild Beast) retracked by GCI

[@MarsJenkar]

Vortex is at least decent, but yeah, that supporting cast of coasters needs some serious help.

[@Psyche721]

Love vortex. Surprisingly fast and good positive G. Backlot stunt coaster used to have a bunch of special effects but they turned them off. Hopefully they ditch time warp and flight deck and get some decent mid sized coasters in there

[@PLUMMAxX]

Wonderland good top 3 coasters and imo the best flat ride collection out of any park. It’s a very good park all around.

[@coastercat112]

"US Conversion, less than Canadian" Lol Yes unfortunately it's impossible to get all the coasters done at CW without fastlane. Congrats to Sophie for 200 credits!

Man, I just rode my *30th* coaster (Thunderbolt at SFNE). Impressed at Sophie's diligence at credit-grinding.

[@southeastcoasters]

Nice, where does it rank

[@DoswarePictures]

So am I, having just ridden my tenth and first wooden.

[@ItsSiebay]

I’ve only just reached 45 this spring. Sophie is well past our league.

[@MattMcIrvin]

@@southeastcoasters #21 of 30, between SFNE's Batman: The Dark Knight and Disney's Rock 'n' Roller Coaster. It is much milder than either of those but got extra credit for being a well-preserved classic woodie from 1941 with an interesting history. Mind you, as a non-hardcore enthusiast I tend to avoid riding coasters that sound like they are actually bad, so 21 of 30 is still a good ride.

[@southeastcoasters]

@@MattMcIrvin I respect your opinion, I haven’t ridden many coasters as well. 24 only. Thunderbolt ranks 15th, behind Tigris at Busch Gardens Tampa, and Pandemonium at Six Flags New England. It’s a solid coaster to transition to Wicked Cyclone, and the ejector hill is very good.

[@ThuhOthers]

Congrats Sophie!

[@laurieholland2907]

Amy is beautiful, how can she be a monster? LOL Go Sophie GO

[@AirtimeThrills]

Oh behind the scenes its a different story

[@strudelninja]

Sophie has to have one of the higher ratios of coasters ridden:coasters possible to ride of anyone shorter than "full-size".

[@SnowghostFilms]

I mainly go to Canada for skiing (Revelstoke and Silver Star are amazing). But I suppose I could squeeze in this and PNE playland next time I’m up there.

[@keithstransitexperiences9749]

4 miles = 6.43 kilometers 109 CAN = 82.58 USD Canadian law prohibits a foreign company like RMC from doing something a Canadian company can do, so GCI can do the trick.

Yaaayyyy🎉 Sophie hit 200! Way to go girl!

[@stephenfeigenbaum3634]

my theory on skrush is that chris seems like a guy who sits up really straight, and as a taller guy you really have to slouch on skyrush to have the restraints hit you at your waist and not your thigh
