Exciting changes -- including two new rides -- are coming to Canada’s Wonderland when it opens for the season next month.

Media were invited to tour the construction of Tundra Twister and Snoopy’s Racing Railway, the Vaughan amusement park’s newest rides, on Wednesday.

Snoopy’s Racing Railway, which is themed after the iconic “Peanuts” character, is the park’s 18th roller-coaster and is designed for families, maxing out at 50 k/h.

Thrill ride Tundra Twister spins and twirls riders 360 degrees while upside down, reaching speeds of 75 km/h and sending riders up to 47 metres high.

The park said the ride is “the only one of its kind in the world,” in an April press release.

Besides the new rides, the park plans to introduce a Brazilian food festival to its entertainment lineup and host its annual fireworks display and Canada Day celebration.

The park recently sought to hire 4,000 workers for its upcoming season.
