I love how they kept many of the elements for Yukon Striker: Colour scheme, loop (which was never done before for a Dive coaster of its type) and the helix at the end

[@GuitarLessonsBobbyCrispy]

That was my favorite ride at Canada's Wonderland! Can't believe they tore it down....

[@Walubot]

It was a fairly old ride and did end up costing the park quite a bit of money when it came to repairs. It was a tough choice for them to make since it was still very popular

[@Kilomenjaro]

It’s still in Italy! 🤦🏽‍♂️

[@liamrosewarne216]

@@Kilomenjaro yeah but i’m sure of what he is saying is he misses it being at his home park (canada’s wonderland) because it was much closer than travelling all across the Atlantic ocean and go to italy just to go on sky rider🤦🏼‍♂️

[@canadude6401]

They should have kept it and torn down Wilde Beast! Stupid bone jarring wooden roller coaster.

[@pixelythegamer3260]

It still around but in Italy

i remember my cousin and i rode this ride seven times in a row because nobody was there so they allowed us to stay on then we went on minebuster right after...ahh good times.. thank goodness im going again in august

this ride i think gave me permanent brain damage, but the airtime at 1:00 and on those hills at the end are INCREDIBLE

[@theballq]

We called it stand up back in the day. And flight deck will forever be top gun

[@DarthLahey479]

Why does everyone say that slingshot replaced this, slingshot is like 300 feet away from this thing on the other side of another ride, it's an empty space

[@ohThatsTeku]

Exactly like wtf XD

[@kaitlynamorim558]

Ikr Exactly the slingshot is near by windseeker and SkyRider place is just empty it's near by vortex.

[@joshuagrajales4336]

I actually think Flight Deck and Time Warp will be taken down for a B&M invert. Im not to sure if the will take down SPINEbuster, but I also hope Wild Beast gets RMC and maybe take down the Bat for an RMC expansion or flat ride.

[@songoku_6446]

I remember seeing this In the park around 2008, I was too short to ride it then and by the time I went back to wonderland after a few years it was gone. I believe my older brothers went on it and said there was a lot of headbanging but I wouldn't know because it's gone.

[@DastardDurango]

cool!

[@doggy3322]

This is just like scorpion at busch gardens. My first loop!

[@federicofiamberti]

Now this fantastic roller coaster works in an italy park called Cavallino Matto!

[@AkKikMauMau]

I remember the one and only time I was ever on this roller coaster. We got about half way up the hill, it broke down and we had to get slowly pulled backward back to the boarding area

[@sharpproductions]

That. . doesn’t make sense. They pulled the drain down the lift hill?

[@AkKikMauMau]

@@sharpproductions we are about half way up the first hill and suddenly the ride stalled. I guess they reversed the pulleys and pulled us backward down the hill so we could get off at the place where you get into the roller coaster car

[@Sursion]

It's a stand-up coaster. That's the thrill of it.

[@itsjustmel1316]

Why does it keep stopping is that the end of the ride

[@theidiot9085]

My hopes are that they will build a new, modern stand-up roller coaster (like Mantis) in place of where this once was. I liked this ride, but I do admit that this one was one of the shakiest rides I've ever been on. Sitting down and raising your feet was a ton of fun, though.

[@LtLegit1567]

TheIdiot Nope, gonna be either a Floorless or Winged Coaster. There are like 2 Bulldozers, a couple of Excavators and a Cement truck there now, AND at Behemoth's HammerHead turn around too. So my hopes are... that the station is at Skyrider's spot, you come out, turn around onto a lift hill (like Leviathan) You go up. Then do that drop that Gatekeeper does when it flips you upside down before dropping you. After that you go into an Immelmann loop that goes towards Splash works. The Coaster does a few tricks and Zero G rolls over Splashworks before hitting a turn around under the Behemoth Hammerhead. Then it makes it's was back over splash-works again Doing a few Airtime hills, barrel roll and maybe a Helix before hitting the final break run into the Station.

[@theidiot9085]

Excellent. i'm heading there tomorrow, I guess I'll be checking that out! Either of those rides is a worthy replacement in my opinion.

[@LtLegit1567]

TheIdiot Have fun!!! I'm gonna be stuck in School :/ Won't be going until June 24th (hopefully if things go to plan) But ya, Check it out for me :P Also check out this Forum for the rumors and Info about it: www.themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=38407&start=6820 I'm part of it (TorontoFCfan).

Will do. You know, I was just on that site the other day, I thought I recognized you from somewhere...must've been TPR! EDIT: Go back yesterday, but I didn't see anything new or interesting. There's what might be a new area of dirt behind the water park, but that's about it. Not much to see as of yet.
