Canada’s Wonderland in Vaughan, Ontario, is the largest and most important amusement park in Canada and one of the biggest in North America. The park opened in 1981 and originally had quite a lot in common with sister parks Kings Island and Kings Dominion. Instead of an Eiffel Tower, though, Canada’s Wonderland has Wonder Mountain, which remains the park’s main landmark to this day.

Thrill seekers are well served by major coasters such as Leviathan, Yukon Striker, and Alpen Fury. Even more unusual, however, is the enormous flat ride lineup. Alongside plenty of classics, the park has several unusual and surprisingly intense rides. Sledgehammer, the world’s only HUSS Jump2, and Tundra Twister, the only Mondial Avalanche built so far, are two attractions you simply cannot ride anywhere else.

Families have plenty to do as well. Planet Snoopy and KidZville provide two large children’s areas, while Splash Works adds a full water park. Altogether, Canada’s Wonderland has everything you need for a great day at an amusement park.
