On Saturday, Canada’s Wonderland is finally launching its latest roller-coaster AlpenFury, which the Vaughan amusement park is calling the tallest, fastest and longest coaster in the country.聽
“Face nature鈥檚 wrath on the world-record breaking AlpenFury,”聽Wonderland said on its聽, adding it hurtles riders through nine inversions, a global record for a launch coaster.
The kilometre-long roller-coaster will accelerate to 115 km/h and features two launches: one thrusting riders into Wonder Mountain and a second blasting them out of the summit 50 metres in the air.

The coaster’s tracks span the amusement park in a ride that’s less than a minute and a half long.
鈥淎lpenFury is a world-class attraction, and we鈥檙e excited for the unique thrills it will offer our guests,鈥 Phil Liggett, general manager at Canada鈥檚 Wonderland, said in a statement when the park was unveiled in August. 鈥淭he combination of being blasted out of Wonder Mountain, and then racing through nine inversions one right after the other, is going to be an experience guests won鈥檛 soon forget.鈥
Thrill-seekers can take it for an inaugural ride from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Saturday, and park guests who purchased a 2025 Gold Pass can enjoy unlimited access to the coaster this year.
AlpenFury marks Wonderland’s 19th roller-coaster.
