Description
History of Paramount Canada's Wonderland
The park first opened in 1981. At that time, Wonderland only had 5 roller coasters. They are
The Mighty Canadian Minebuster, Wild Beast, Dragon Fire, Ghoster Coaster, and Blauer Enzian, which is now Thunder Run. Thunder Run was first located where The Fly is now, but in 1986 it had been moved into the Wonder Mountain. Before Splash Works opened in 1992, Minebuster ran with nothing around it. In 1985, SkyRider was added and shared the back of the park with the Minebuster. In 1987, The Bat was added to the park. Vortex was added in 1991. It's built over the Wonder Mountain and over the water. In 1994, Paramount Parks bought Wonderland, and that began the construction of Movie Themed Rides. The first was Top Gun in 1995. Drop Zone, the best ride in the park was added in 1997. The year 2000 began the construction of Mondial Flat Rides. Cliffhanger (2000), Shockwave (2001), and Psyclone (2002). In 2004, Tomb Raider : The Ride was built, which is Canada's only flying coaster. For 2005, The Italian Job : Stunt Track was added, which is located near the Minebuster.

Come early to avoid rides with long queue waits, like IJ:ST. Come with comfortable clothing as you would with any park. Bring lots of water. Remember that they do not allow aluminum cans in the park. Also bring lots of patience because lines get long during mid-day but thin out later on in the evening.
