Wonder Mountain's Guardian is a steel enclosed roller coaster built by German manufacturer ART Engineering currently located at Canada's Wonderland in Vaughan, Ontario, Canada.

History

Wonder Mountain's Guardian was announced on 30 August 2013.[1] During IAAPA 2013, the characters of the ride were revealed during president and CEO of Cedar Fair Matt Ouimet's keynote address.

Much like Volcano The Blast Coaster at Kings Dominion, several holes had to be drilled into the mountain in order to build the ride.

The ride was scheduled to open on 4 May 2014, but the opening was delayed to 24 May.[2]

5 trains with 2 cars per train. In each car, riders are arranged 2 across in 2 rows, for a total of 8 riders per train.
