AlpenFury sign AlpenFury, billed as the country’s longest, tallest, and fastest rollercoaster, will soon be hitting the rails for the first time this season at Canada’s Wonderland.
AlpenFury final stages of construction On Wednesday, Wonderland invited members of the media to a tour the project, which is now in the final stages of construction.
AlpenFury construction tour Journalists viewed the progress on track and column installation, saw work being done around the station area in Alpenfest, got a closer look inside Wonder Mountain where the vertical launch will be installed, and checked out the lead car on the ride’s sled-themed coaster train.
Wonderland's Grace Peacock during AlpenFury construction tour “We’ve got all kinds of contractors working. We're getting the steel columns up and the track, so we can get riders on,” Wonderland spokesperson Grace Peacock said during the tour.
AlpenFury Fire Serpent Roll “People are really excited. It’s not only because it's, you know, world-record-breaking with the inversions, and the longest, tallest and fastest rollercoaster in Canada, but I think people are just looking for unique experiences. We're always trying to bring something to the park,” Peacock said. “It's not always going to be a roller coaster every year. Sometimes it's a new event or a water park attraction, but when we get to bring these big ones in, I think just everybody goes wild for it. The anticipation is real and it's going to be great.” (Canada's Wonderland photo)
AlpenFury final stages construction After almost 14 months of construction, the “massive” two-train coaster, one of 18 at the 330-acre amusement park in Vaughan, is set to make its debut in late spring.

AlpenFury - Fire Serpent Roll The Fire Serpent Roll, described by Wonderland as a “distant relation to the Sea Serpent Roll, twisting and inverting riders through weightlessness and two unparallelled train-to-track near-miss interactions in a single element. (Canada's Wonderland photo)
AlpenFury - Skyflyer Loop The Skyflyer Loop, which pays homage to the park’s former attraction and features an ascending helix that crests into a zero-G stall before diving into an inverting, descending roll.
AlpenFury - Ice Winder Roll The Ice Winder Roll where riders will twist and untwist through two inversions as they ascend and descend through an overbanked hill.

AlpenFury - Ice Winder Roll “Top speed is going to 115 kilometres an hour, so you are going to be holding on very tight,” Peacock said in a previous release.
“This is just going to be a wild ride. People are going to be able to see it from all areas of the park. It spans almost all the way to front gate and back.” (Canada's Wonderland photo)
Wonderland Time Warp Once complete, AlpenFury will be the 18th rollercoaster at Canada’s Wonderland. It’s addition comes after the attraction confirmed earlier this month that it was retiring its Time Warp coaster. Peacock said that plans for the area where Time Warp used to operate have not yet been announced. (YouTube/Canada's Wonderland)
