Canada's Wonderland - July 24th, 2024

 On Wednesday, July 24th, my brother Scott and I hung out at Canada's Wonderland with our friend Amadeo and his friend Sarah! It was a 12 hour day at the park filled with tons of fun, thrills, and laughter! 🤣 Due to the threat of storms and rain, the park wasn't very busy, so we were able to get on many rides during our visit! I hadn't been to the park in almost a month, so it was great to see all the construction updates for the 2025 attraction.

This was my fifth visit of the season to Canada's Wonderland and a awesome way to spend it! I hope to do it again soon! Enjoy the photos! 🙂🎢


Scott and I arrived at the park around 9:20am. There wasn't much of a crowd due to the threat of rain and a storm later in the day.

With all of the rain we have received so far this summer, International Street was looking very lush!

Since my last visit in late June, teaser signs and symbols have been added to Wonder Mountain for the new-for-2025 attraction. This is one of two signs on Wonder mountain with the word "Beware". The official announcement will be made on August 8th, 2024.

Throughout the day we would get a couple of rides on Leviathan.

It was amazing to be at the park on a not so busy day!

As a part of the teaser campaign, a rock/crystal marking that had recently been painted on the door on Wonder Mountain.

Since my last visit, the construction areas in International Festival had widened, making the paths a bit narrow. Scott and I started our day off with a ride on Vortex followed by The Fly and Wonder Mountain's Guardian.

Here's another marking on Wonder Mountain stating the date of the announcement for the new attraction.

There's great speculation that the new attraction will be a launched looping roller coaster inside Wonder Mountain! We'll have to wait and see!

There's a few new entrances into Wonder Mountain with the construction going on!

After getting on many rides around the park, we walked by the Grande World Eatery and saw they re-introduced the Nacho Bowl. Unfortunately the location was closed during our visit.

The flowers on International Street were flourishing with all the rain we've received so far this summer!

Once Amadeo and Sarah arrived at the park, a small thunder storm had passed through the area, so we went to the Lazy Bear Lodge for lunch. I had Hickory smoked chicken and smashed potatoes.

After our lunch, we went on Yukon Striker just before it began to pour! It rained hard for quite a while before letting up! We hung out in the Splash Works shop during the downpour.

Here's Scott, Amadeo, and Sarah dressed for the weather. I unfortunately opted not to bring a jacket! 🤣 Luckily the rain had pretty much stopped at this point.

It would take over 40+ minutes for the rides to reopen as a bit of thunder had rumbled during the downpour.

A lot of rain had fallen during the 20 minutes or so it had rained!

Wonder Mountain really stood out amongst the dark skies to the south of the park as the sun came out.

While we were waiting for the rides to reopen, the four of us headed to Planet Snoopy to get a ride on Snoopy's Racing Railway as of this year, you don't need a child to ride, as you needed in 2023 when it was new. it was nice being on this fun family launched coaster again for a second time this year! From the queue you get a nice view of Ghoster Coaster. After a ride on Snoopy's Racing Railway, we all rode Taxi Jam! 🤣

Here's Amadeo, Sarah, and I flipping around on Shockwave!

It was an exhilarating ride as per usual!

After Shockwave, we dropped in on Drop Tower!

Then we took a ride on Leviathan!

Later in the day I noticed where the second "Beware" sign is located on Wonder Mountain. With the colours of the signs, it leaves you wondering if the new ride will be themed to fire and ice.

More footings for the new ride have been constructed in International Festival!

In the evening we ate at Lazy Bear Lodge again. This time I had pulled pork and a spring salad.

From the Lazy Bear Lodge patio you get awesome views of Tundra Twister and Yukon Striker!

Yukon Striker looks beautiful under the evening sun!

Later in the evening we took a ride on Whiter Water Canyon, Mighty Canadian Minebuster, Behemoth, and Sledge Hammer!

Behemoth rode very well both times I rode it throughout the day! The trim brakes were minimal allowing for tons of airtime!

The midway in Action Zone was quite empty!

Sledge Hammer was a thrilling blur a the sun began to set!

After Sledge Hammer, we went on Tundra Twister, and Vortex followed by a night ride on Windseeker. Scott captured this photo of Windseeker while Amadeo, Sarah, and I were on it.

We all then went on The Fly! To our surprise, The Fly was running quite insane that evening, with no trim brakes on the top level, causing us to go around the tight turns very quickly! Amadeo and I rode it with our hands up the whole ride!🤣

The lights on some of the rides at night are quite beautiful! Here's Klockwerks at night!

Our second last ride of the night was on Drop Tower. Afterwards we waited outside the queue line for Leviathan to ensure we got on the last train of the night. We joined the queue just as the rope was hung up indicating the ride is closed for the night! Finishing your visit with a night ride on Leviathan is always a fun and thrilling time!

Here's the new diving structure on Arthur's Baye in Medieval faire at night. it is illuminated with colour changing LED lights.

The Royal Fountain was illuminated with different coloured lights. The fountains were lowered at as the park had been closed for almost 30 minutes at the time this photo was taken.

Here is Amadeo, myself, Scott, and Sarah after a fun and thrilling day at Canada's Wonderland! Thanks goes to Amadeo for sharing this photo!

I hope to spend another day at Canada's Wonderland with Amadeo and his friends soon as its always a fun time! Thanks for checking out my photos of our great day at the park! 🙂
