Canada's Wonderland drops first on-ride views of new record-breaking coaster

Canada's Wonderland continues to tease the public with eye-popping construction updates for the new record-breaking roller coaster that will open as the park's new flagship attraction this season.

The new launch coaster, dubbed AlpenFury, crossed a huge milestone this month when the final section of track was installed, and work continues to advance toward the finish line ahead of a yet-to-be-announced opening date.

The park offered up another tease this week with the reveal of the very first on-ride footage captured on the coaster's twisting track, which features a record-breaking nine inversions, the most of any coaster on the continent. Once operational, AlpenFury will also boast the longest, tallest and fastest experience of any launch coaster in the country.

Though the time-lapsed clip doesn't quite show the ride as it will be experienced in real time, the slightly shaky video — captured using a clearance check crawler on the newly-completed track — offers up a pretty decent idea of what awaits thrill-seekers once the attraction opens.

When that will occur, however, is still a mystery.

AlpenFury was previously announced with a vague spring 2025 opening timeline.

But Wonderland opened for the season on May 8 with the ride still in the midst of construction, and with the first day of summer fast approaching on June 20, that spring opening window may close before the ride debuts.

Amid speculation that construction for the ride had encountered issues following reports of track disassembly and reinstallation, Wonderland spokesperson Grace Peacock told blogTO earlier in the month that "adjustments to columns [are] normal during the installation process."

In that early June statement, Peacock explained that, while "things look finished, we still have a lot of work [involving] testing and commissioning the ride, which will take a couple of weeks. This process involves cycling the trains hundreds of times, plus a final inspection by the Technical Standards and Safety Authority (TSSA)."

"Guests should see the first AlpenFury train moving on that track shortly, which will be very exciting," she said.
