New coaster features two launches and nine inversions,
the most for any launch coaster in the world
VAUGHAN, ON (July 10, 2025) – The wait is almost over! This Saturday, July 12, Canada’s
Wonderland will debut AlpenFury, the country’s longest, tallest and fastest launch coaster.
When fire and ice meet inside the mysterious Wonder Mountain, the force will propel guests into
a thrilling journey on AlpenFury, the park’s 18th roller coaster. It begins with a launch that blasts
riders into the depths of the mountain, followed immediately by a second that sends the train
vertical through the mountain summit, 50 metres into the sky. Guests will then race across a
track that spans the park, reaching speeds of 115 km/h, flipping and twisting through nine
breathtaking inversions – the most in the world for a launch coaster.
“AlpenFury will deliver an epic, record-breaking thrill,” said Heather Hill, park manager and vice
president of operations. “With the combination of the two launches, that straight vertical climb
and nine wild inversions, it will provide an action-packed, unforgettable experience. We’re
excited to add AlpenFury to our lineup of world-class attractions.”
