The following photos and video clips shared in this blog post are from two of my visits to Canada's Wonderland in May 2015. This was a year before I began blogging and documenting my amusement park visits on my blog, Amusement Views!
While the photos might not be much, they do look at Typhoon and Splash Station, the two new attractions for Splash Works that year just before they opened to the public. These photos also look at what would become the home of Yukon Striker four years later in 2019. Be sure to enjoy this blast from the past!
Season Pass Sneak Preview Night - May 1st, 2015:
Here is a view of the Royal Fountain and Wonder Mountain during the 2015 Season Pass Sneak Preview Night. Below is a video clip of the Royal Fountain just as the sun was setting. From what I recall, the night was a calm and clear evening with a little bit of a chill in the air, typical weather for early-May. Unfortunately I did not capture any other photos or videos from the evening.
May 14th, 2015:
May 2015 was bustling with excitement and speculation at Canada's Wonderland! The excitement and speculation was caused by some work being done on the grounds where SkyRider, the park's former Stand-Up coaster had once operated. Little did we know at the time that the area would become home to the World's tallest, longest, and fastest Dive Coaster in the World!
It sure was a beautiful and warm sunny day at the park judging by this photo captured in the morning.
Victoria Falls on Wonder Mountain sure was flowing beautifully as it usually does!
Here is another angle of Victoria Falls from a little further back than the previous shot I had captured.
Below is a video of a bulldozer grading and levelling off the land which SkyRider had formerly operated on from 1985 through 2014. This area has greatly transformed since the addition of Yukon Striker in 2019!
Here is a look at the two new Splash Works attractions for that year. The Typhoon and Splash Station both came from the former Ontario Place water park and had received refurbishments during the off-season before being set up at Canada's Wonderland. When this photo was taken, Splash Works had not yet opened for the season.
If I'm not mistaken, I believe the sign for The Mighty Canadian Minebuster had received a touch-up for the 2015 season. It looks all shiny and new in this photo.
Work was still being completed on the former SkyRider plot during our visit that day.
We'll end this trip report from May 2015 with a beautiful photo of the Antique Carousel surrounded by pink blossoms.
I hope you enjoyed looking at the photos that I had captured during two of my visits to Canada's Wonderland in May 2015! The park has changed quite a bit within the nearly past six years that these photos were taken. Be sure to stay tuned for more photos from the 2015 season! :-)
