SkyRider POV & Review Canada's Wonderland

Skyrider was one of the earliest stand-up coasters in the world and a clone of the King Cobra at Paramount's Kings Island. Skyrider features a vertical loop, several airtime filled hills, high speed helix and a section of rarely seen trick track on a steel coaster.

Amusement Parks Portal
SkyRider is a roller coaster at Canada's Wonderland Opened in 1985, it was the park's fifth coaster, and the first one they built since the park's opening in 1981.[1] Built by TOGO, it is the first of two stand-up roller coasters built in Canada, and the fifth stand-up roller coaster in the world. It is also the second in North America (along with the second designed specifically to be stand-up as well as the second with a loop), and it is one of 15 currently operating roller coasters at the amusement park.
It opened only a year after the similar King Cobra at (Kings Island) did, which was North America's first stand-up roller coaster.[1] SkyRider is located within International Festival, and its entrance is across from the Splash Works entrance.
[edit]Similar Rides

While SkyRider is still in operation, King Cobra was removed from sister park Kings Island before the start of the 2002 season. SkyRider is the second oldest stand-up roller coaster in operation.[2] Shockwave at Kings Dominion has a similar layout until the second camelback hill, where instead of a trick track and a turn to the right, the ride immediately turns to the left and goes over one bunny hill before entering the brake run.

Dude do you think that wonderland will allow me on with the go pro head strap or even the helmet strap?

[KBDProductionsTV]

@FINGERSWAAG I don't think so, but I've heard them letting people on with the wrist strap. :)

Hi Ken,

I really enjoyed many great videos you posted up on YouTube.

I just have one question...

For Canada's Wonderland, do you have an idea of when the Processing Place is going to be open for taking pictures and getting your season pass.

May you please reply back soon!

Thank you,

I've only ridden this once and it's certainly not the smoothest coaster out there.

TOGO coasters never had a good reputation for being smooth anyways, B&M standups are better and a lot more intense.

@rimmi351 Nice :)
