AlpenFury opened to the public today at Canada's Wonderland.
The record-setting Premier Rides Sky Rocket is now Canada's longest, tallest, and fastest launch coaster. It's also the park's 18th roller coaster, tying it with Six Flags sister park Cedar Point for the second-most coasters in North America, behind California's Six Flags Magic Mountain.
Canada's Wonderland opened the coaster to the public before hosting a media day for the ride, which is coming later this week. So we will have an official review and on-ride video for you after that happens. For now, though, the park has released its official on-ride, front-row POV video for AlpenFury.

Bigger is not necessarily better.
You're right Bryn, and I think there have been plenty of non-record-breaking attractions that have debuted over the past decade or so that have surpassed expectations. However, size does still matter, and if you look around at all the "biggest", "tallest", "fastest", and "best-est" coasters out there have typically made their way to the upper echelon of most coaster rankings.
Early reviews from fans experiencing this over the past weekend have been overwhelmingly positive with some claiming this as one of the best coasters in the world, and not just the best coaster of 2025. I think that is a really high bar for any coaster to reach, but the POV certainly suggests that Alpen Fury is a thrill machine that does not disappoint. The one drawback apparently is that the queue for the coaster is outside and unshaded, which was brutal for guests this past weekend with 5-hour waits and near-record heat in the Toronto area.

What a beautiful ride. The track layout combines dizzying inversion mayhem combined with elegant fluidity. This looks amazing and I’m sad that I won’t be going on in anytime soon.
