Yukon Striker Review

[@AdamS32828]

I love the moving bins in the station, it’s such a smart idea that hopefully will work out and become standardized for most coasters. I think Cedar Fair recognizes that guests absolutely hate lockers and that it’s really just a way to nickel and dime guests, so they definitely get some brownie points for thinking of their customers

[@joeykelly0157]

Hopefully Kings islands giga/2020 coaster will include them

[@AdamS32828]

Joey Kelly 01 fingers crossed they put it on all major coasters

[@lixieracha]

Most of the rides at Canada’s Wonderland have bins for your stuff which I personally love.

[@AdamS32828]

softie._cos My home park is SF New England and of course every ride has lockers. Thankfully they’re pretty lenient if you want to throw your jacket over with the souvenir bottles so I usually will leave my stuff in my jacket and do that

[@colddesign12]

The vest restraints are awesome - went this past Sunday and this is the most comfortable coaster in the park

[@DeadBeforeRed]

Andrew How’d you go on Sunday?

[@colddesign12]

@@DeadBeforeRed There are three days before the park opens officially for bank employees friends and family. Of course you don't have to be either because it gets leaked onto redflagdeals every year. It was seriously cold though which is the only downside of going so early.

[@CoolioJoe100]

Andrew Well my couch is comfortable so I guess I can just stay home if that’s what we’re looking for.

[@michaelwalterselevatorsrob5009]

B&M always make good, smooth, coasters

[@keirasousa8833]

Really??? Then I’m so excited to go to Canada’s wonderland then

[@BarefootPacific]

I wore flips to the park and I'm so happy that I can ride Yukon Striker barefooted. I put my flips in the trolley shelf and picked them up after my ride. Terrific! 👣

[@CoasterHunter7]

Who ever loses had to ride flight deck, it’s the ultimate punishment!

[@justsomeguywholikesnoodles732]

I dont really see anyone who would chicken out on this

[@dungeontv7447]

Or time warp

[@gravedied7304]

I agree with you on the restraints. Also, I like how spacious they are. At some parks, these restraints restrict you to much and it makes it hard to keep your hands in the air. I’ve been on this ride 3 times and was able to keep my hands straight up every time!

[@samcmusic3031]

Dude I’m glad you rank suspended coasters so high! Hopefully s&s can make some new ones!

[@Grumpeljism]

I was 10 when Vortex opened and it's easily the coaster I've rode the most. I still love it in 2019!! It fits the terrain so well and is very scenic.

[@truefyre2949]

MORE YUKON STRIKERRRRR Btw love the updates and POV's, reviews and all sorts of stuff! Tysm for all the great content

[@adtthosa]

As another tall dude.....I got scared there for a second. I would have been devastated if I was too tall to ride this!

[@crazycoasters4514]

Yes, it's my new #1 too. In fact here is my ranking of all the rides at CW 1. Yukon 2. Behemoth 3. Leviathan 4. Vortex 5. Backlot stunt coaster 6. Minebuster 7. Wild(e) beast 8. The bat (boomerang) 9. Dragon fi(y)re 10. The fly 11. Silver streak 12. Wonder mountain's guardian 13. Thunder run 14. Flight deck 15. Ghoster coaster 16. Taxi jam 17. Time warp (if this ride was demolished today I would be so happy no offence to time warp fans) also when is the seasonpass holder vlog coming? also great vid!!!

[@aaronfram7501]

Lol i feel the same way about time warp terrible ride

[@crazycoasters4514]

Vijay Paul lol I have met some people who actually like it and I’m like why

[@crazycoasters4514]

Lol

[@clairefunnell8481]

Watching Aug 2021. Yukon looks so badass. Can't wait to ride it. Going on aug20. Yukon will be my first ride. Thanks for sharing your experience.

[@itshk9427]

I went to CW yesterday and while I was at SplashWorks, I recorded the drop and the whole ride on my mom's phone cuz Yukon Striker is very close to it and I can see the whole ride

[@princesskristan]

I've never been on a dive coaster before, but I want to ride this so bad

[@joeykelly0157]

I love how kings Island has lumber company and Canada’s wonderland has a mining company that both tie into the big story in the cedar fair cinematic universe

[@56jetman]

My anticipation builds with every video you post. Weather looks awful for at least the next couple weeks, but I hope to make the 110 mile trip as soon as the weather breaks. Yukon Striker looks amazing!

[@Dservoz]

Amazing ride, can't wait to try the first and last row - I didn't have a choice last Friday and had to go for the middle row. I'm just worried about the capacity and wait times, since they don't dispatch a new train until the last one has reached the mcbr. Just with season pass holders, the wait time was a few hours - I 'only' waited for 90mn with the single rider lane.Hopefully not everyone wants to ride it. I know A LOT of people that are too scared and will never try it. Good for us.

[@ozziemaltese6567]

Great content on this channel! I can’t wait to visit the park this June to ride Yukon Striker! I love that Wonderland is making such vast improvements with the park!

[@robcav8747]

Totally agree with this review. It looked like nothing when I saw it. I didnt bother for half the season cause of long lines as it was new. But when I rode it... wow... so much fun!

[@_iamwilbur]

Nice video! I'm so glad they added that runway and the vertical loop looks really fast. Can't wait to ride it!

[@oliviabrown5903]

I’m going on the Yukon striker today

Let's hope the rain passes by quick on Friday. See you there !!

[@hihikiki88]

How busy u think it's gonna be u think ppl will b there lined up front gate early in the am?

[@wizparrissa8632]

@@hihikiki88 I have no clue but opening day for leviathan wasn't bad until around 1. I'll wait in the line, I don't mind

[@definingimage]

Rode it yesterday. The dive element was awesome, the ride thereafter was short and lackluster

[@mikerich32]

So if you were to raise your hands, the ceiling of the underground bit will break your hands off? Isn't that a safety violation of some sort?

[@8JFJK8]

Michael Really? Thats disappointing because the best part about Behemoth and Leviathan is going no hands on the huge initial drop.

[@TheAmishGamer]

J James You don't have to put your hands up in the air to go "no hands" though!

[@8JFJK8]

TheAmishGamer Yeah you do. Makes it funner and you feel more vulnerable.

[@TheAmishGamer]

J James Well, yeah, if you have no imagination, I guess...

[@TonyKimtheamusementparkfan]

I'm even more excited to ride this :) I was already excited to ride a B&M dive coaster, but now that someone has given their thoughts and their opinions, I'm definitely a lot more ready to expect nothing but good things from this ride :)

[@ron8187]

They need to do something with that nasty green water lol

[@amber_4617]

I really like this ride I gotta say, I'm unfortunately not from Canada, and am also deathly terrified of hights, but this coaster is up there I gotta admit. The drop looks absolutely insane, although the inversions are a little slow, but they are monstrous! Loving the restraints also as they're the generation 2 vests are much, much better than the old ones. I've recently ridden Galactica at Alton Towers and I didn't find the restraints restricting, but that's may be because it's a flying coaster but I did get airtime on the back row. I bet this coaster is phenomenal and I hope to one day ride it, or at least look at it as I am TERRIFIED of hights.

[@MarcMarshall94]

Curious as to how your rankings of Behemoth and Leviathan changed because of one subpar ride lol. Personally Leviathan is still a distant 3rd for me. My #1 is a toss up between Behemoth and Yukon Striker. But I need to ride Yukon Striker a few more times to make my final decision (since i've only been on once). Also I wish you hadn't shown how close your head was to the tunnel's roof. I'm also 6'3" and that's ALL i'm going to be thinking about now when I go through the tunnel xD

[@ThemeParkJunky51290]

Just the thought of knowing that Yukon Striker has MORE that will be added is beyond amazing!

[@norcalemt02]

What happens if you put your hands up in the tunnel?

[@tylerburke3657]

Awesome review I totally agree with everything you said it definitely back row ride u get whip on that drop and definitely going haul in the summer like what top 4 we have at wonderland this year it just amazing

[@nathanielthomas2502]

The bin system is the real MVP...gotta help with operations loading times because to many carry around so much while in line for coasters...I hate that

[@jmcdonald1415]

Agreed Parks have to adapt mostly dealing with typical teenagers I know I've got 2 boys

Hehe... He said "on track" hehe :) 1:21

Hi amusement insiders. I am a big fan and I saw you at season pass holder night

[@adamlatimer9159]

Great Review.. Thank you!! 😎

[@MABOandJIMMYtv]

Loved your review! Thank you! I wanna ride this someday!!

[@HGX1]

I rode it on Saturday and although it was a good coaster it was short and not tall enough. Leviathan is still a clear cut #1 and behemoth #2, this is #3. Leviathan is just a monster, I hope they build a taller one, one day.

[@harrisonschneider8333]

Someone pointed this out. Cedar Fair is more rural while Six Flags is more urban. I think they got a point. Yukon Striker and Copperhead Strike have rustic themes while Maxx Force and West Coast Racers have racing themes.

[@nathanielthomas2502]

You almost got a haircut in the tunnel, also I've been wondering about that runway element since I noticed how it elongated into the ditch .. awesome dude

[@johntheo6751]

I cant wait to hopefully get a ride in this on the weekend!! Do you think its going to be more busy than preview night?

[@Coasterlocity]

Hangtime has a runway too and it's also one of the best parts of the ride. It gives you ejector.

[@rajwalchopra1097]

3 days till opening day!!! Hopefully I get to meet you!

[@BodhiPierce]

How big are the lines for this thing right now?

[@tayte14]

What are the queue lines like? Like, do you split rows, is there a single rider line?

[@cassietremblay7865]

I can't wait to go on it at the end of the month 😀😀😀

[@schmiddty4202]

Behemoth back row in the summer does offer lots of airtime with those long trains. However, you feel the rattle a lot more. But still, you feel so much back row behemoth. That might bring behemoth up higher for you

[@HockeyNinja13]

Rode it twice this past Saturday and found the front row was best just for the initial drop. The Zero G roll was the most satisfying of all the inversions. Great ride and a fantastic addition to Wonderland. I'd still rank Leviathan ahead of it as a personal favourite, but Yukon Striker ranks just above Behemoth for me.

[@jlamjustin9812]

Hey I am 6'-3" would height issue make it for difficult me to ride after the drop into the tunnel ?

[@jessicataylorkeller]

it says max height is 77" or 6'5, so you are good!

Awesome review brendon hope we can hang out at the park this season

[@nickdiab2980]

What is the fastest way to get to yukon from the entrance. Is it the path where orbiter used to be or is it go to the mountain and down to the frontier Canada sign

[@tanookitoad9281]

From the entrance keep to the left of the fountain, then take the first left after Starbucks. Take the first right before reaching Flight Deck. Proceed straight past Swing of the Century and Coasters Diner and you should reach it.

[@nickdiab2980]

Tanooki Toad thanks

Did like the ride though it was very cold friday thought the hang time was great

[@gplez91]

Gatekeeper’s restraints have not locked on me since Media Day 2013. Valravn’s restraints have never locked on me, neither has Raptor (Gardaland), Banshee, Wild Eagle, or XFlight. I’m sorry for everyone who is still experiencing locking vest restraints on the new B&Ms.

I hope it isnt going to rain all day Friday lol ... I really wanna ride this beast!!!

Why does the MCBR wobble so much and yes ik it's something to do with the supports

Were did you get the music from

[@thecardchannel7767]

What is the max height restriction?

[@StepOFFGeorge.]

no, you want to sit in the front middle, the best seat. front row has better view of drop and is much smoother of a ride

[@inquity6]

we were gonna hit this badboy but the lines where insane so gonna wait till we get there early one day and hit it first.

[@jmcdonald1415]

Leviathan what the fiddle filp !! Brendon B&M rattle is just scaring you lol Front row for your first ride is amazing but yes after back row always New version vest restraints are amazing I went on Yukon Striker well over 20+ times still can't say if like it more than Behemoth lol

Yes i was cold on the season pass night

11:40 grey out on a coaster then eat a ghost pepper, what a terrible combo

[@shaodynasty1017]

Why don't they ever do the 10x3 30 person trains on dives anymore other than Griffon? It gives such a harder pull on the drop

[@CoolioJoe100]

A few years ago B&M switched to the vest restraints on all their large-scale dive machines. These restraints take up more space than the old ones so that’s why they only seat 8 across. Most everybody, including me, dislikes them so I wish they would just go back to the standard ones.

[@Effonefiddygarage]

Is it just me or is there one hell of a future lawsuit with someone 6' 8" accidentally being let on? At 6' 9" brains will be everywhere. That's 24 lawsuits from victim to bystanders. Someone didn't think that tunnel design / height restriction out fully.

[@hellobooom]

I wish it would dive into a dark smoky tunnel like the first ever drive coaster (Oblivion at Alton towers), that might be too terrifying though lol.

[@CVW2112]

I'm 6ft. 4in and I rode gatekeeper in the first year and the vest did not bother me and neither does valraven

[@dr.feelpain2554]

Have you ever heard of Benjamin Killam

[@Zrj19]

Whats wrong with leviathan? Why isnt that ur number 1

[@Grumpeljism]

Not speaking for amusement insiders, my opinion is it isn't long enough and loses a lot of speed at the turn around over the front entrance. Everything up until that turn around is awesome, the small speed hill before the first camel back is the 2nd best part after the drop of course. I still like it better than behemoth for the drop, but if you love airtime behemoth is better. They should have put Behemoth there and built the 306' Giga on Behemoths plot of land, there's way more room there and B&M could have done something longer and better.
