It's still a month away from opening for the season, but Canada's Wonderland has revealed the exciting new adventures that await you.
At the top of the list is the brand-new ride, the "Tundra Twister" coming to Frontier Land."
The only one of its kind in the world, "Tundra Twister" is a giant 360-degree spinning swing ride that will have guests spinning, twisting and twirling upside-down at heights of 47 metres (154 feet) and speeds of 75 km/h.
They also welcome a family-friendly roller coaster, "Snoopy's Racing Railway," a launch coaster coming to Planet Snoopy.
"Snoopy's Racing Railway" will accelerate from zero to 50 km/h in seconds before taking guests through the dips and turns of a wild railway adventure.
