Canada’s Wonderland 2025 Season: What’s New & What’s Back

Canada’s Wonderland is gearing up for another thrilling season starting May 8, 2025, and if you’re even thinking about theme park plans this year, this one deserves a top spot on your list.

With over 200 attractions, a 20-acre water park, and year-round events, the park promises nonstop fun for every kind of visitor—from coaster junkies to families chasing summer memories.

A Season Kickoff You Don’t Want to Miss

Before the gates open to everyone, Season Passholders get a sneak peek on April 26. It’s the perfect way to beat the crowds and preview fan favorites.

On May 8, the park officially opens to the public—and it’s not holding back.

The star of the 2025 season? AlpenFury, a world record-breaking launch coaster that’s set to debut later this spring.

While still under construction during the Season Passholder Preview, the ride is making visible progress. According to Wonderland’s PR team, the top hat element is now installed, and guests will be able to choose between fire or ice-themed seating when it launches.

Here’s what makes AlpenFury one-of-a-kind:

Double-launch system
Speeds of 115 km/h
Nine inversions (the most for any launch coaster in the world)
50-meter climb through Wonder Mountain

An exact opening date hasn’t been confirmed yet, but excitement is building fast.
