Note:
Formerly known as "Paramount Canada's Wonderland," Paramount sold the park in 2006. It is now known simply as "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 -- one of the largest in the world -- includes nearly every kind: flying, magnetic launched, suspended, wood, and inverted looping to name a few.
