Canada’s Wonderland announces Alpenfury

When I lived in PA, I was only four hours from Niagara Falls, which means that Canada's Wonderland wasn't that much further. I regret never visiting that area.

Now I live about eight or nine hours away, but I am seriously considering a visit, because of this coaster. Alpenfury looks to be one of the best coasters of all time, as far as my opinion goes.

It most certainly keeps its pacing all the way through to the point where when you hit that break run it almost feels like the ride was cut short, but I don’t know how many GP can handle more then what coaster dishes out.

It seems like a stretch to call it 9 inversions, like one is a continuation and two are kind of half-inversions. Regardless, it's a lot of inversions and direction changes. It looks fantastically chaotic.

…and Superman only went half way up the tower, so it’s not really the tallest. 😉

That looks great. I was wondering about the train setup. Do both trains permanently reside on the track, or is there a hidden transfer track?

You know I don’t remember seeing a transfer track anywhere. I’m not sure it has one.

I believe the transfer is on the launch, inside the mountain. It does appear like that track does slide and there is a section where there is no theming to the side of the track.

Looks cool. I might need to make a trip to Canada after this opens. Would you consider this a destination park?

It has this ride and:

-3 B&Ms (Giga, Hyper, Dive)

-The most aggressive Arrow Suspended left (the KI version might be a clone but this one swings a whole lot more, I believe because it doesn’t slow its lift like KI does)

-A bunch of crazy, high thrill flats

-2 wooden coasters, one that has recently been retracked and is quite nice (Minebuster, an out and back) and one that needs some serious help and is not pleasant (Wilde Beast, cyclone clone)

-A unique shooter coaster hybrid that is only one of three rides in North America with a surprise feature (without spoiling, the other two are Hagrids and Verbolten)

-The rest include a Boomerang, Arrow looper, Mach powered, and mouse

Its also clean and a Taft built park with some charm, I would say yes it should be a “destination park” for us Americans.

*3 wooden coasters!

Just rode that Arrow suspended about a month ago. Expected an Iron Dragon-like ride and wow was I wrong.

They've also got the most unique collection of flats that I've ever seen.

I always forget the jr wooden coaster. My apologizes.
