<p>The longest, fastest and tallest dive roller coaster in the world, <a href="http://cpfoodblog.com/record-breaking-yukon-striker-dive-coaster-coming-to-canadas-wonderland/">Yukon Striker</a>, is set to debut this spring at Canada&#8217;s Wonderland, and with the track install nearing completion, the excitement level is stepped up a notch! </p>
<p>The track is on schedule to be finished by end of December, but there is still a lot of work to do before guests dive into the new B&#038;M designed roller coaster.</p>

<p>Currently, the track is about 90% complete with work being wrapped up on the helix this week and next week will turn to the 360-degree loop, Immelmann #2 and connect it to the mid-course brake run. </p>
<p>The entire Yukon Striker roller coaster consists of 107 track pieces and 42 support columns. The largest column is 63 metres high and over a metre in diameter. </p>

<p>After the new year, the Yukon Striker trains will arrive, the station, queue lines, complete landscaping and install canopies, lighting and sound systems will be finished. And of course, there will be a LOT of testing.</p>
<p>Yukon Striker promises an exhilarating journey along its 3,625 feet of mountainous track where guests will be treated to a spectacular view stretching to the Toronto skyline. The coaster features a ‘hold and dive’ element where riders will literally be hanging on the edge of their seats, on one of three wide, floorless trains, breathlessly awaiting the 90-degree, 245-foot drop. Once released, the coaster dives from zero to 130 kilometres per hour straight down into an underwater tunnel before soaring up over steel track, propelling riders through four dynamic inversions and gravity-defying weightlessness. Designed by Bolliger &#038; Mabillard, Yukon Striker will claim several world records:</p>
<p>• The fastest dive coaster at 130 km/h (80 mph);<br />
• The longest dive coaster at 3,625 feet (1,105 m);<br />
• The tallest dive coaster at 245 feet (75 m) – includes underground.</p>
