Canada's Wonderland - August 25th, 2025

On August 25th, I made my eighth visit of the season to Canada's Wonderland. This time I went by myself and was able to get on a handful of rides despite the park being very busy! It rained a couple times during the afternoon, but that didn't ruin my final weekday visit of the 2025 season as I went prepared. I'm looking forward to Fall weekend visits, which will be coming very soon!

Be sure to enjoy the photos from today's visit! 🙂

I arrived to the park on this cooler, late-August day at 9:30am. As soon as the gates opened, I was off to AlpenFury.

On my way over to AlpenFury, I noticed work was being done on the former slap shot hockey game structure location across from Thunder Run. It looks like it might be transformed into another game.

Unfortunately AlpenFury started off with an hour long delay. On a positive note, my wait was only an hour and 30 minutes, the shortest I have waited so far! If it wasn't for the delay, it would have only been 30 minutes! This visit marked my fifth ride on AlpenFury since its debut in July.

After an exhilarating ride on AlpenFury, I took a ride on Shockwave! This cycle had many flips, which is always fun! One thing I noticed is as of recently, the gondolas don't park back in the position they started at as they normally do. I guess there was a tweak in the programing?

Afterwards, I ventured over to Lazy Bear Lodge for my first meal of the day. The smoked chicken and chili lime corn were all good. The only thing that wasn't good was the line that had formed inside Lazy Bear Lodge just before noon!

After lunch, I went over to White Water Canyon which had an under 20-minute wait due to the cooler weather. This was one of the shortest waits of the day!

After a slightly soaking ride on White Water Canyon, I went over to ride Tundra Twister. While in line, it began to rain for a short time. Luckily the queue for Tundra Twister is mostly covered.

Here's a look next to Splash Works of the Halloween Haunt props getting staged to be set up over the next month!

Up next was a ride on Psyclone. It began to rain again while I was in line, but stopped just before I got on!

Here's a look at one of the hanging baskets placed in front of Wonder Mountain on the bridge on International Street.

The sun came back out as I rode Spinovator!

Up next was a ride on Leviathan! It had about a 65 minute wait!

After a ride on Leviathan, I swung by the Cookie Cafe to have another broken cookie ice cream sundae. This time there was tons of cookie pieces in it! This and the blue ice cream are my favourite items from Cookie Cafe!

As of recently, Sledge Hammer has been opening at 4pm. I managed to get on it just after 4:30pm!

My final ride of the day was on the Antique Carousel.

Before I headed out, I got my second meal of the day from Après Poutinerie in AlpenFest. It was a decent poutine with lots of gravy and cheese curds with crispy fresh cut fries.

After a fun but busy day at Canada's Wonderland, it was time to head out. Until next time! 🙂
