Canada's Wonderland 2016 - Flying Eagles and Skyhawk

NEW FOR 2016: FLYING EAGLES & SKYHAWK!


Prepare to Take Flight in 2016


Vaughan, ON (August 20, 2015) ??? Canada???s Wonderland is taking guests to new heights for 2016 with the addition of two new rides that will capture the imagination of both families, and thrill-seekers, as they take flight in an interactive flying experience.

Skyhawk, the first ride of its kind in North America, will take riders to a new level of adventure when the park opens for its 35th season in 2016. Riders will take control of their own cockpit, showcasing their flying abilities as they maneuver through 360 degree turns, and challenge themselves to engage in multiple inversions at 135 feet (41m) in the air.

Flying Eagles will thrill little pilots and quickly become a family favourite for parents and children alike. These two-person planes will glide 28 feet (8.5m) above the ground and allow each rider to control their flight and ride experience.

???We are always looking to enhance the guest experience with new and exciting attractions. With the introduction of Skyhawk and Flying Eagles, thrill-seekers of all ages will enjoy the flying sensation on these interactive rides that are truly unique to our Park.??? Norm Pirtovshek, General Manager, Canada???s Wonderland.

To coincide with the new ride announcement, Canada???s Wonderland will simultaneously launch a limited time offer on 2016 Season Passes that are priced at only $67.99. Each pass will include a free visit for new Passholders or a free Fast Lane PLUS for renewing Passholders ??? both valid for the remainder of the 2015 season.

Nice find. Definitely not the expansion people were looking for, but I think that Skyhawk should be pretty interesting!

I wasn't expecting a new coaster until next year anyways.

These Gerstlauer spinning rides are hilarious!

I want to get on one so bad.

Surprised by the Gerstlauer flat, but not by the Flying Eagles ride.

This should be more interesting than the prototype. It's doubled the height so that means a much bigger opportunity on grabbing some proper wind, making these rides more insane than they already are.

Skyhawk parts have arrived at Canada's Wonderland.

Massive track parts... oh wait... not for a coaster lol! The ride is going to be awesome, though!

At least it didn't end up being a Windseeker lol

^And the second part of the tower is supposed to be lifted in place tomorrow!

How's the construction of that tower going? Nearing completion?

The tower got a little taller today.

Saw the rumor on Screamscape that Canada's Wonderland might be looking to add a B&M invert in 2017 or 2018, and that it might call for the removal of Flight Deck, the park's SLC.

YES!

Will that SLC be relocated?

What a pleasing image of that ride! Completely settling down!

I was expecting it to be a bit taller but that's still a neat looking ride.

Spinning Freedom!

Hmm.... In one way I miss that these rides were exclusive and nobody knew how to go insane and make it roll like mad. But in the other hand I'm happy to see that these awesome rides start spreading around the world and everyone can get a feel of their awesomeness.
