Canada's Wonderland | Unknown | (Premier Rides, Launch?) Coaster | 2025

Please not Premier Rides. Tigris is probably their best and even then it’s a 5/10 at best

Why not Mack? Too expensive?

Nah, they just have pretty high lead times for projects right now. The survey was all B&M stuff initially, a different idea would've meant a quicker turnaround.

And courtesy of a leak tonight that quicker turnaround just so happens to be... PREMIER RIDES!!!

Lord help us all, Dual Launch Coaster

Please not Premier Rides.

Granted I'll probably never in my life end up in CW but still, please not Premier. They DESPERATELY need a new train design but they're just still using those absolutely vile skyrocket trains.

Premier Rides makes sense from a budget perspective (track can be shipped from the US instead of overseas) and they're probably the only company that can fit the coaster trains inside the mountain, but please let there be no shin guards and comfort collars on this. Especially not the comfort collars.

Why do you think they changed their minds with B&M on this one? Especially with how much CF likes B&M..

Could have been a concoction of the project not being the right fit or B&M having other projects slated for 2025 (ie KD and BGW are both next year).

I wonder what the chances are that this has a Full Throttle style top hat/loop? Normally I'd be predicting a normal top hat, but it would pale in comparison to the drops around the park.

Premier using lap bar restraints would be a fantastic and welcome change compared to their other coasters

I thought all of them used lap bars?

(Assume they mean, lap bar but no comfort collar)

Announcement day set for Thursday August 8; https://x.com/WonderlandNews/status/1814269350657831415

In terms of recent updates, at least three placards marked BEWARE went up yesterday on Wonder Mountain, featuring the same symbol (photos from Mayura of Aeterna Coasters Discord).




Footers drilling has also moved across the midway to near the basketball stand, indicating that a return section is going to go through Vortex's lift hill. Expecting some wacky coaster interaction here;
