Canada's Wonderland Overview:

Canada's Wonderland is Canada's largest and most popular theme park. In fact, it frequently boasts the highest attendance of any seasonal park in North America. Coasters are the park's main draw, and its impressive arsenal of thrill machines includes nearly every kind: flying, magnetic launched, suspended, wood, and inverted looping to name a few.

The Nickelodeon characters, such as SpongeBob SquarePants and Dora the Explorer meet and greet children in the park and provide inspiration for some of the rides. SpongeBob even has his own 4D motion simulator attraction. The park offers plenty of shows as well, including stunt spectaculars and musicals.

The adjacent 20-acre Splash Works water park is included with admission and offers slides, a wave pool, interactive water play station, and a lazy river. Among the featured attractions is Barracuda Blaster, a funnel ride.
