Key Information
Canada's Wonderland opened this 4D dark ride inside its iconic Wonder Mountain in 2014.
Wonder Mountain's Guardian is an interactive ride based on a 1,000-foot roller coaster-style track, and is themed around a mythical creature that lives inside the mountain. Riders first climb up the side of the mountain, before plummeting through its interior. The surrounding scenes include a desolate forest, an underground lake and "Draconian City". A final battle inside a dragon's lair is designed to "shock".
Fittingly, Montreal-based Triotech has developed the technology behind Canada's Wonderland's new ride. Wonder Mountain's Guardian features 3D effects overlaid with 4D elements such as wind and water tricks. RIders are equipped with weapons boasting "The fastest, most-accurate target system", with "real-time graphics" being employed to show the impact of their shooting. The world's longest interactive screen helps to add to the immersive experience.
