With this being my home park, I know for a fact that it’s never busy on weekdays, so it’s definitely best to go on a weekday. Great video!
Thank you! I appreciate the compliment!
I went on a wednesday and there was only my class there. ONLY MY CLASS. That was fun.
@@TheRealTreener LUCKYY🙀
@@TheRealTreener im going on june 15, wednesday
as a graduation trip
The fast lane pass is totally worth it. We went today (Sunday) and it was *packed*. Queues went over two hours for some coasters but with the fast lane pass the longest wait we had was 8 minutes. Also - get the unlimited drinks wristband. So worth it!
Last year I had the unlimited drinks and it wasn't all that great. Wasps in every drink stand, half the drinks wernt even working either. But the fast lane plus is obviously worth it, I have it when I go this year on July 12th
Since Haunt is a separate event at Wonderland and the park closes at 5pm between the day session and Haunt which starts at 7, the park has far less adult and teen traffic during the day. Line ups for the big rides are substantially shorter. Even Leviathan and Behemoth waits are likely to be less than half an hour and its not uncommon to be able to ride back to back on many coasters. I have often gotten in 10-15 rides on different coasters in 4 or 5 hours, especially on cloudy cold wet days. Haunt is busy, crazy busy and line ups can be hours on the big 3. A Fright pass (Fast Pass for Haunt) is likely a good idea if you want to ride much.
I've been going to Canada's Wonderland for over 40 years and there is one unspoken rule. The first ride MUST be Dragon's Fyre. That coaster loops and corkscrews so it really loosens you up for everything else.
I really miss Jet Scream. It was just amazing. The only real downside was the nut-cracker hydraulic restraint system which could turn you into a soprano if you weren't careful.
Dragon Fyre is great but super painful 😂 like unless you hold your head in place with enough force you bang your head consistently 😅
i agree i love dragon fyre its so good
Same ee I always went on that first! And the lines there were always so fast. I’m also going to wonderland today and I’m so excited !!!
dragon fyre is definitely a first. you are so correct.
dragon fyre ain't what it used to be...not as rough as vortex but its getting up there
I remember going to this park i 1984 as a 4yo....we used to be able to go up on the mountain and walk behind the falls like a miniature Niagara falls.
I now have a season's pass with annual fast pass. It is fantastic for my daughter who is on the spectrum and enjoys riding coasters literally 7-9× in a row. The waits are minimal this way and much less stressful. Also it is amazing how much you can actually do when your not waiting in lines. You can stop and eat without stressing of missed rides, and you have time to stop and watch some of the shows.
I’m visiting in 4 days and I’m super excited because most of my friends are coming with me! I’ve been to this park 5 times and know most of the good rides that are worth it.
You forgot to add Psyclone for the best flat rides. Psyclone is my top favourite flat ride, it’s so good and so fun. Still a great video! Canada’s Wonderland is my home park and it is my happy place. My top 3 favourite roller coasters are the big 3 Yukon striker, leviathan and behemoth, such good coasters. And I love how Yukon has a single rider line, it helps to go on over and over during a weekday for an hour between 10am to 11am before the park gets more packed
That’s a great tip about the single rider line for Yukon! Thank you for watching Chelsey, CW is a great park!
Psyclone is good if you only visit CW, but isn’t even in the top 5 (arguably the top 10) of pendulum flat rides.
@Dustin Pomeroy even if it's not as good as other similar rides, I think it's better than the top 5 he said
Unless you get stuck behind a bunch of groups of 2, 3, 4, or even 5 people that want to gamble to see if they can still ride together but have a shorter wait.
I’m going here in a few days so thanks for the tips I’ll keep them in mind!
thank you so much! I plan on going sometime in September while I'm visiting family for a wedding in Markham!
Thank-you!! This is going to help so much since I only get to go once a year with friends! This should save us so much time!!!
Jessica - enjoy 😊 glad to help!
Canada's Wonderland has been my home park since 1983. Some notes:
- arriving 20-30 min before park opening is fine on non-holiday weekdays
- always get the upgraded Fast Pass on busy days
- find your first ride of the day deeper in the park
- it may be faster, easier and cheaper to find something to eat at the strip mall on Major Mackenzie Drive, within walking distance just north of the park
- Sledge Hammer is often down, even at park opening, so don't expect to ride it on your first visit
- The only reason to ride Flight Deck and Time Warp are for the credits, or being able to say you endured them before the park inevitably tears them down
If you get in the park early make sure to ride popular rides especially lavaithin first. I personally don’t like big roller
coasters like that myself but I see all the line constantly over an hour by 9 or ten in morning when I walk by to do the other rides.
this was super helpful, thank you.
Let me tell you, getting a fast lane is 100% worth it. Without the fast lane i only rode 4 rides. With the fast lane I rode 21 rides and it was AMAZING. I got a fast lane plus because the lines for the three giga coasters are crazy long! But it was very worth it! I got to ride the leviathan 5 times in a row at night. Plus, I got to ride every other ride without any wait time!
What 3 giga coasters?
@@TommonSenseProleviathan, behemoth and Yukon Striker
@@mochashake686 you told me you don't know what giga coasters are without having to tell me.
@@TommonSensePro I mean you're not wrong I was just using my deductive reasoning and assumed you were asking a genuine question and not posting a sarcastic rhetorical Q. lol learned my lesson I guess.
@@mochashake686 Yeah you nailed it. I was waiting for the response the OP as well.
I’m going to a festival near by and I’m definitely gonna make a detour here on my trip!
Thanks for these tips, making my first trip there in a little over a week!
Enjoy! Thank you for watching! :)!
We only did the fast-pass once, and we did so many rides that we were all feeling rough and ready to go home by 5😅
So I like the lines for giving my body time to recover. I always go on a weekday so they aren't too bad.
If I ever get the fast pass again, I will be sure to take a lot of breaks. lol
I live about 10 Km from the park and have been going since it opened in 1980 so I know a great deal about it. If you are looking to save some money here are some tips. If you pack a cooler of food they won't let you take it into the park but there is a shaded outdoor picnic area just outside the gates. If you crave pizza or burgers there are a couple of strip malls just the other side of Jane St. that is an easy walk for adults. The McD's is offering $1 cones and Pizza Pizza has XL 4 topping for $18 or 1 topping for $14. You can call ahead and it's ready by the time you get there. Lastly, if you have a good friend or parent drive you there is an easy pick up/drop off area just off Jane St. to save you parking fees.
I'm going on July 8th! I'm excited!! Havent been here since 2017
Enjoy brandy! Hope you have a great day!
Hi great video One thing that you never talked about is the accomidations for those with disabilities. first off plus side they do have a boarding pass but there is a note long with that the wait time to actually get on with boarding pass as wonderland makes you have to wait per wait period is the wait time is dependent on how long line is now it just means you do get to relax while you wait but really doesn't help for getting lots of rides in a day if you like rides allot though even with leviathan still would have taken an hour to actually get on. I wish the boarding pass system would allow you to book more then one ride at a time i wish it did maybe you can but seems to me you can't.
You never talked about other area's over all about this. Some rides have worning for those with epelpecy or seasure stuff i should say sorry bad spelling but dark rides wouldn't be for them.
some of the big rides them to but or might have them because of the camra flash as those with epelepcy can't take lots of flashing but that may not be seen during the day. as my friend who has that problem though she never has those seasures anymore never had a problem with behemoth at all.
Also for those who have dificaulties with other disabilities like sencery stuf autism you never said if there was any quiet rooms for those people to go to or not.
Theme!Howdy?. Bravo~tthat's well edition.😮
Great video and very helpful 👍
Thank you for watching! :)
im going tommorow cant wait
How was your visit?
Going tomorrow in the morning!
Have a season pass for me my wife and my son. We have been five or six times this year, always on a Saturday (unfortunately the only day usually my wife and I both have off work). We get there around 10am and stay until around 4 or 430. Line up to get in the front entrance at security seems long, but never takes more than 10-15 minutes to get through. I usually get in a few adult rides for myself in the first hour or so then we make our way to kidzville and spend the rest of the day their for our son. I find the adult rides after 12pm get kinda long. If your like me you don't like waiting more than 30 minutes to ride anyrhing. Kidzville and planet snoopy all day there are hardly any line ups. Also the pizza pizza in planet snoopy is cheaper than the other pizza pizzas for some reason (you can get a box of pizza at that one for the same price as just a single slice and coke at the other ones). The amount I depend on season passes and food, I'm not gonna add to that and buy a fast lane pass (99% of people DON'T). I love roller coasters, but I'll gladly line up and complain about the line over complaining how much money I'd spend on the fast lane pass lol.
I don't know if I hit a jackpot but I got a funnel cake and was just trying to get rid of change in my pocket so I order strawberry no ice cream, the guy starts putting ice cream on and looks at me with a smile and asks how much ice cream, I say non. So end of story he puts no lie more ice cream on my funnel cake that you would get from a 1.5 LT tub of ice cream, three people couldn't eat it all. I guess if you want more ask for less?
Fast Pass is worth it if you only plan on going to Wonderland once a year, and you wanna maximize the amount riding you do in that one day. It's not worth it to a season pass holder (like me) who goes multiple times a year and isn't concerned about doing everything in one day. (Side note: Fast Pass is also worth it if you wanna impress your date with a "VIP treatment" lol)
IM GOING ON SATURDAY I CANT WAIT😆😆🤯
Roller coaster up my ally !!! What a rush!!
They really need to work on their early entry policy. As a platinum pass holder we were granted access 30 minutes early-were allowed to go forward to the mountain/waterfall but absolutely nothing was open. Was told that they open a few rides early on Saturdays but this really started the day off on a bad note .
Could have slept another 90 minutes and avoided the nightmarish traffic on 404.
In my opinion i think going to Backlot then behemoth, sledge hammer, yukon then vortex, then to the leviathan side.
Tysm
Loved your video, you know your facts when it comes to theme parks, I would definitely agree with arriving an hour before park opening to beat the crowds, one question I have for you is do you know if Canadas Wonderland does anything like early entry? Anyways great video once again look forward to seeing more keep up the good work!!!
The park does early ride entry on select days for different rides in the park.
@@quentenmajoor5861 Interesting to know I was just wondering!!!
Thank you brother!
1.25 speed thank me later
Me and my friends started with Yukon last summer. Bring your own water bottle. There's a new Coke refill station this year around near the new restaurant is. Some real good advice and don't forget the gift shops and the funnel cakes. Yummy.
Interesting
Thank hou Claire :)
I wish they would clean this place up, so much potential for a immersive atmosphere
Leviathan, yukon, and behemoth may have the fastest MOVING lines but the waits are still always the longest because of how long the lines are
Awesome 👌 👏
If your looking to go more than once with others, I recommend season passes and car passes!
Thank you so much because I’m going to be there tomorrow 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳
Enjoy!!! I’m jealous :-)
Who is so proud that what he talked about is where you’ve been
awesome vid
LOVE Sledgehammer!
I love Canada’s wonderland 😎
It's a solid park!
1:43 that transition was pretty good
This Park Is Stunning Would Been Cooler If Some Of Their Rides We’re Smoother
OMG SPONGY YAAAAAAY🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
The tolls aren't that bad, and when you get off, the park's right there. We always take the 407, at least to the park.
how much is 407 one way for you (from which exit to exit?)
Myself and my husband are bringing our kids (4,8 and 15) July 30th. We are planning on being there for 9am on the Saturday and i bought the premiere parking pass. We didn't get fast passes. Do you think the line to get in will be ok at 9am? Do the lines for the rides get long really fast in the morning, or is it more in the afternoon? Thanks! Loved this video :)
On weekend the ride has hectic lines all the time , and I’m going there on 30th July for 3 rd time this year😂😂
Is next Friday (the 25th) a good day to go for a birthday party?
Hey thx for all the tips! Just wondering if the fast lane plus pass is all that worth it if you say those coasters have the fastest queues? Thx! Definitely plan to get the standard fast lane 😅❤
I would only so you can get as many rerides as you want :)
Thanks! Are you only allowed a few re rides normally?
I was there yesterday
Do any other riders have a single rider lane like Yukon striker? It's a really good idea I think they should have it for all rides.
Just the bat. However, Bat is trickier as it only seats 2 people per row
Couldn't agree more
Brandon, Please could you do one of these on Thorpe park UK, I am heading there this summer and want some tips and tricks
Keep up the Great Videos
he hasn’t been to thorpe park
Doesn’t mean i can’t have some friends who have been there frequent help me :-)
Flight deck may be a head beating but it is still a fun coaster
I lost my glasses previous week on that ride’s first turn🥲
@@jigarpandya90 i have glasses but i dont wear them on roller coasters because of that
@@jigarpandya90I had a strap on my glasses thank God, but still wouldn't recommend wearing them at all after that.
Going on long weekend in September, can you do a video on non-ride attractions? Would love to hear more about the arcades and carnival games :D
Check out Amusement Insiders - they do a lot of CW videos :) Thanks for watching!
Just go in may or june during the week when all the kids are still in school. Boom empty park. lol
So if you are riding wonder mountains guardian you get a locker at the front of the park
I always start towards Levi, then hit Drop Tower, Wilde Beast, Thunder Run, and Vortex. I eat, and then follow Yukon, hit that, Italian Backlot, Behemoth & Spinebuster. I don't touch Flight Deck anymore as well Time Warp.
Smart decision on TW & FD. Let’s just remove them already 😆
I went on flight deck for nostalgic purposes. Never again! Same with time warp! Bruises galore!
Why do people not like Flight Feck anymore? Is it due to the line or the ride itself? I remember top gun being very popular when I was a kid. I’ll be going for the first time in about a decade tomorrow with my gf, I bought us fast lane passes but I kinda wish I got us fast lane plus.
i swear time warp busted my spine more than minebuster
Hi! I’m going to CW on June 14th. Is it worth it to get a Fast Lane Pass ? And should I get my tickets online prior or get them at the gate ?
Thanks :)
That's a weekday so I'm guessing the lines will already be smaller. If you get fast pass, tho, there will probably be 0 wait but I don't think it's worth it.
Yes always try to get your tickets online :) I’d gauge out the crowds once you’re there to see. If fast lane is really needed or not.
YOU DO NOT NEED FAST LANE UNLESS UR TRAVLING!!! u can get everything done inna span of 5-7h wonderland opps r pre quick espially there big rides, only line that take forever is behemoth and vortext. been going to wonderland forevrr and trust u do not need fast ane and u dont need to spend 2 days in the parks u can get everything done relitivly quickly!!!!
I'm 11 and I just went for the first time and I went on Leviathan behemoth and Yukon striker
Congrats! Glad you had a great day!
Congrats you want a 🍪with extra sprinkles
In your opinion, do you believe that Canada's Wonderland should be for a solo trip, or do you think it's close enough to Niagara Falls where you could also drive across the border to visit Six Flags Darien Lake and the reopened Niagara Amusement Park?
Yeah I mean it’s possible to do either way. For my first visit I will be doing that and prob LR
Def close enough. I wouldn't bother with Niagara Amusement Park (formerly Martin's Fantasy Island). Its almost all kids rides now and never was a good park anyway.
This being only 45 mins from my house I go alot also the backlot restaurant is now named world cafe in 2024
Hey, did you talk about how to pay here? Or did I miss it? Americans visit this park as well. Do they accept American currency?
Great to hear from you! So, CW is cashless :) So just confirm with your CC company that you can use the card in Canada and you'll be all set. :)
If you had a choice to do Canadas Wonderland or Kennywood, which would you choose?
CW for coaster counts but for
Coasters that could change your top 10
Or 20, kennywood :)
if you go on a day during summer break, fast lane is 100% worth, sure it's on the pricier end but like...you're already going to wonderland and you're gonna spend a lot, so why not extend the rides you can do from 4-5 to more than 30?
Exactly!!! Thanks for sharing :)
The secret to sit on Rides is to stand on your toes, that's how I sat on "The Three Mega Rides" which are Leviathan, Behemoth, Yukon Striker. Now I am crazy, I'm 9 and sat on these, but you just have to train by sitting on smaller rides! I also went through the Fast Lane Plus for all three, BUT IT WAS FULL LIKE THE NORMAL LANE?!!!
A few updates as of 2024:
Alternate entrance for this season as the original entry is getting a faceover
this is a CASHLESS park you must get a cash card available for free at Kios
Park will operate in rain as long as no thunder
everything is in CAN (Canadian Currency).
Vaughan is very expensive city and hotels more so.
you CANNOT bring your own food or drinks here ( except water bottles) no glass containers are allowed.
You CANNOT smoke in the park anymore you have to leave and come back.
You can and will be tossed from park if they catch you recording on-rides.
What do you mean tossed for recording on rides? You mean wearing a Go-Pro is not allowed?
Hi just planning, do you know if the park is open during March?
It is not... I believe it opens sometime in April :)
Opening is usually at the end of April!
Nope it opens May 3rd
the last time i had pizza pizza at wonderland it was horrible i would not recommend it, i know its stone fire cooked and in theory it should be good but in practice its something to be desired
Great video! Thanks for including my Twitter page in the video! :)
For sure!
Im Comin Next Weeken
Enjoy!!!
Pizza Pizza is frikin awful today!
hi
How much is the fast lane pass
90$ on top of entry fee, discounted if you have season pass.
I would actually recommend going an hour after it opens. Almost no lines (during the week)
Reasons the fast lane pass is not worth it IMO- coming from a frequent park visitor:
1. You can’t make fun of the fast lane people and silently rich-shame them with your friends
2. Lines make the ride more satisfying when you finally get on
3. Lines give you more time between rides so you don’t get sick
4. I am stuck in my ways and also live very close. I can just come multiple times throughout the summer, so there’s no need to do everything in one day
All Season FL+ is where it’s at. I can do the entire park in 2-3 hours without breaking a sweat. Re-rides galore. And I feed off the dirty looks from the regular line 🤣.
@@905Metalhead i mean go for it my man
I would@@everybody48
This makes the Calgary Stampede midway look like a joke. 😭
Do single riders get to move up in lines?
Some rides may or may not have a single rider line. Most don’t
The only coasters that offer single rider lines at the moment is The Bat & Yukon Striker. Although on busier days a ride attendant will sometimes stand a the entrance into the station and ask for a single rider to come up and fill the empty seats.
Get all your food from the kids areas it'll save half the money
6:32 So you can't ride with a fanny pack? I plan on going later next week, and I plan on wearing a fanny pack.
My mom got stuck on lumber jack for like an hour
There’s a new restaurant that’s under construction center left of the park
Yup, it’s going to be great!!
NOOOOOOOOO lumer Jack looks like a Shovel
The fast lane passes are pointless this year. In my opinion.
How so?
@@yukonstriker1703 40 plus min wait times for the fast lane, not worth it
I’m gonna dislike the video so only I know these tips 😈
Lol! Cute
