Rides & Attractions
A guest's height is an important safety factor on many rides and attractions. Colour-coded wristbands are provided at the height check stations on International Street and correspond to the colour found on the Rules and Regulations signs located at the entrance of each ride. For the safety of all guests, shoes that contribute excessively to height should not be worn. We reserve the right to ask that shoes be removed to ensure that a guest’s height is not being artificially enhanced or manipulated. If the Height Check Station is closed, a wristband can be obtained at the station of any ride as long as the guest meets the height requirement of that ride.
All restraint systems, including lap bars, shoulder harnesses, and seatbelts must be positioned and fastened properly to allow guests to ride. Due to restraint system requirements, guests of larger size (in terms of height, weight, and/or proportions) may not be accommodated on some of our rides.
Our larger guests may experience difficulty on: Backlot Stunt Coaster, Behemoth, Dragon Fyre, Drop Tower, Flight Deck, The Fly, Ghoster Coaster, Leviathan, Lumberjack, Mighty Canadian Minebuster, Psyclone, Riptide, Shockwave, Skyhawk, Sledge Hammer, SlingShot, Soaring Timbers, Swing of the Century, The Bat, The Fly, Thunder Run, Time Warp, Vortex, Wilde Beast, WindSeeker, and Yukon Striker.
Maximum and minimum weight limits can be found under the individual rides in this guide and on the Rider Safety Guide Signs at the entrance to rides with restrictions.
If you are concerned whether or not you can be accommodated safely on a ride, you may enter the ride via the exit to ensure the restraints function properly prior to waiting in line. The rest of your party may wait for you outside the exit.
Test seats are located at the ride entrance(s) of: Behemoth, Leviathan, Lumberjack, Skyhawk, and Yukon Striker.
The manufacturer requires a maximum guest height on the following rides: Behemoth (80"), Flight Deck (78"), Frequent Flyers (60"), Joe Cool’s Dodgem School (54"), Leviathan (80"), Silver Streak (76"), SlingShot (79"), Snoopy vs. Red Baron (60"), Snoopy’s Space Race (60"), Speed City Raceway (78"), Splash Station Slides (48"), Swing Time (54"), White Water Canyon (76"), and Yukon Striker (77").
To ensure that all guests have a fair opportunity to enjoy a ride as quickly as possible, line jumping is not allowed at Canada’s Wonderland. Line jumping, regardless of the reason, may lead to ejection from the Park. NO REFUND WILL BE GIVEN. Line jumping is defined as: 1. Cutting in front of guests who are already in line; or 2. Saving a place for someone; or 3. Leaving a line, then attempting to re-enter at the same point. Since this includes using the restroom or purchasing food or drink, we suggest you make all stops prior to entering a line.
Filming on rides is strictly prohibited. Loose articles could result in injury, for which the guest will be liable. Anyone found breaking this policy may face ejection from the park and have their season pass revoked. No refund will be given.
Exceptions to this policy are in place for Swan Lake, KidZville Station and Jokey’s Jalopies. This policy also prohibits the unauthorized use of GoPro style equipment, mounts and harnesses.
All cameras and cell phones must be safely secured in cargo pockets, a waist pack, in a bin on the ride platform, left in a locker, or with a non-rider. Ride attendants cannot be responsible for items lost, stolen, or damaged while riding. Due to the potential for water damage, Riptide, Timberwolf Falls and White Water Canyon riders should leave their cameras and other valuable items with a non-rider or in a locker.

For example, if you visited FOUR times in one month, you receive the Perk that corresponds with FOUR visits. If you visited more than four times, you receive the Perk that corresponds with FOUR visits. We also plan on awarding surprise Perks throughout the season.

The Fast Lane program was previously reliant on wristbands to grant access to the Fast Lane at our attractions. While we still utilize wristbands, there is now a bar code on the wristband as an extra safety measure. At the merge point of the Fast Lane, the bar code will be scanned for validity.
To get to the fun faster, Pass Perks and Prestige Pass one-time Fast Lanes no longer require visiting another location to obtain the entitlement. Your Pass Perk or Prestige Pass one-time Fast Lane can be scanned directly from your Canada's Wonderland mobile app, e-ticket or Season Pass at the merge point of eligible attractions.
At times a limited number of Single Use Fast Lane vouchers may become available for an attraction. If available, they can be purchased through the new Canada's Wonderland mobile app. In the future, these Single Use Fast Lane vouchers will also be available for purchase at select kiosks located throughout the park.
Availability is subject to current park wait time conditions.
Fast Lane is an all day product that allows you to utilize the Fast Lane on multiple attractions throughout the park. Single Use Fast Lane is specific to one particular attraction for one ride and is date-specific. Single Use Fast Lane is valid only for one admission to the Fast Lane on the specific attraction for which the product was purchased.
Select attractions with high thrill factors have Fast Lane kiosks located near the ride entrance. At these kiosks, guests can scan their Single Use Fast Lane from their phone and obtain a paper voucher. Now the phone can be left with a non-rider or in a locker.
Yes, a Single Use Fast Lane can be upgraded to an all day Fast Lane wristband at Guest Services.
Single Use Fast Lane is only available when capacity is available. If it is currently not available, check the Canada's Wonderland mobile app later in your visit to see if it becomes available.
Safety
Filming on rides is strictly prohibited. Loose articles could result in injury, for which the guest will be liable. Anyone found breaking this policy may face ejection from the park and have their season pass revoked.
Exceptions to this policy are in place for Swan Lake, KidZville Station and Jokey’s Jalopies. This policy also prohibits the unauthorized use of GoPro style equipment, mounts and harnesses.
All cameras and cell phones must be safely secured in cargo pockets, a waist pack, in a bin on the ride platform, left in a locker, or with a non-rider. Ride attendants cannot be responsible for items lost, stolen, or damaged while riding. Due to the potential for water damage, Riptide, Timberwolf Falls and White Water Canyon riders should leave their cameras and other valuable items with a non-rider or in a locker.
First Aid is located in Medieval Faire beside the Spinovator ride and is staffed by certified Emergency Medical Responders at all times. If you need immediate medical assistance, please tell any Park associate and they will call First Aid and have an Emergency Medical Responder dispatched to your location.
The safety of our guests and associates is our number one priority, and we have implemented several enhanced security procedures at the front gate. As part of the process:
- Guests arriving at the Park will go through metal detection every public operating day.
- All bags, purses, backpacks, waist packs, etc. are subject to inspection prior to entering.
- Sharp objects (including pocket knives and metal chains), firearms, or other items that could be considered a weapon are strictly prohibited.
- Please see our separate FAQ on outside food and beverages.
We use a variety of methods in securing our Parks including uniformed and plain clothes officers, and video surveillance monitoring.
Canada's Wonderland does not tolerate guests who fight and/or harass other guests while on our property. People who engage this behaviour are subject to being ejected and potentially banned from the Park, and may be subject to arrest by local police.
All drones or RPAS (Remotely Piloted Aircraft System) are prohibited from taking off or landing on Canada's Wonderland property, with the exception of the company's certified Pilot-In-Command listed on the Park's Special Flight Operations Certificate.
All drone pilots must adhere to Canadian Aviation Regulations set forth by Transport Canada. Any unauthorized drone or pilot found to be violating these regulations and/or trespassing will be reported to Transport Canada and local law enforcement.
These regulations include but are not limited to the pilot maintaining visual-line-of-sight at all times without a visual aid (for example, binoculars or video feed). In addition, drones must fly away from bystanders at a minimum distance of 30 metres.
While in operation, Canada's Wonderland is classified as an Advertised Event, and as such, drones are not permitted to fly near or over the park, as per Transport Canada regulations.
The safety of our guests and associates is our number one priority. All of our rides are licensed and annually inspected by the Technical Standards and Safety Authority. They also undergo inspections by our staff on daily, weekly and monthly schedules. Our ride operators and attendants undergo comprehensive training and certification by International Ride Training (IRT).
