Paramount Canada's Wonderland..

My cousins will be visiting the toronto area this weekend and they asked me what are the coasters they cant afford to miss at Wonderland. Seeing as thrillnetwork.com is the best coaster site I figured someone could help us out here. So thanks in advance!

Vortex and Wild Beast are my two favourite rides there. I'd say make sure you hit those coasters for sure.

Are they going on the 8th, 9th? Aww those are the last two regular season days for wonderland. All of the coasters at Wonderland are decent but I would suggest the Mighty Canadian Minebuster(longest/largest wooden coaster in Canada, TopGun(Canada's only inverted looping coaster), Vortex(Canada's first suspended coaster) and Dragon Fire. Dragon Fire is nothing spectacular but it's awesome because it's been there since the park opened in 1981. It's pretty dated but it's fun anyway.
Also make sure your cousins go on Psyclone, Sledgehammer and Shockwave.
ThunderRun is a short minetrain coaster up in the mountain and it's really tame but I really like it so You could suggest that to them. lol

^That statement about Top Gun isn't really true anymore Vampire at La Ronde is a B&M Inverted design; http://rcdb.com/ig1567.htm?picture=11

Also, when riding Wild Beast, be sure to sit in the back car!

Hell no. It is like riding a wildmouse coaster inside of shaking hamster cage.

Ahhh True true I always forget!!

The stand up is pretty good. It's kind of old though. I'm a girl and the restraints aren't large breast friendly but it's okay!

There aren't to many coasters @ PCW that aren't clones, so it allllll depends on where your cousins are coming from. (Technially none actually....they're either copied off of something, or something has been copied off of "it")

The Bat & Top Gun have been cloned at a good number of parks, so if you're not going to ride them at PCW I have no doubts that your cousins can find them elsewhere.

Skyrider (my fav) is the same as King Kobra at PKD

That being said....Personally I think it's one of the best park's in the area. Although they may not have the biggest, fastest steepest etc etc, they've got an impressive variety of rides that is unmatched.
