<p>Canada&#8217;s Wonderland opens in only a couple weeks, and the park announces a whole lineup of new changes for the new season.</p>
<p>Most notably, the Flight Deck roller coaster is receiving major new upgrades. Originally introduced as Top Gun in 1995, the inverted roller coaster formerly known as Flight Deck will debut early summer as The DareDeviler, reâthemed to align with the original vision of the Grande World Expo area. Guests can relive the daring spirit of early aviation as they soar, dive, and twist through the legacy of a legendary stunt plane built to thrill the world.</p>
<p>Enhanced by targeted track refinements and new trains, the ride delivers a smoother, more immersive experience, featuring improved seating and open, vestâstyle restraints for greater comfort and visibility.</p>
<p>Additional ride improvements around the park include:</p>
<p>&#8211; New paint forâ¯Snoopy vs. Red Baron and Snoopy’s Space Race<br />
&#8211; The Character Carrousel received new flooring<br />
&#8211; Flying Eagles gets new paint and restoration<br />
&#8211; Swing of the Century gets new double-seat baskets<br />
-â¯Sledge Hammer received upgraded pumps<br />
-â¯Antique Carrousel had several horses restored<br />
-â¯Mighty Canadian Minebuster had 980 feet of track replaced by The Gravity Group </p>

<p>As the food blog, nothing makes us happier to bring back the iconic Brew &#038; BBQ that started it all. (June 6-7, 13-14, 20-21) – Brew &#038; BBQ will return to Canada’s Wonderland with bold flavours and summer vibes and serve up favourites like sesameâglazed smoked pork ribs, woodâfired chicken legs and smoked beef brisket flatbreads. Guests will be able to pair their bites with more than 50 craft beers, ciders and seltzers from local breweries, enjoy live music and street entertainment, and sample a little of everything with tasting cards and drink tokens available for purchase.</p>
<p>This is a great move as the event was always very good and the name brings back a strong brand recognition. As other parks have tweaked their events over the years, this is one area they all should lean heavily into as the name Brew &#038; BBQ is instantly recognizable and leans into the mass of consumers. </p>
