I don't have much experience with wooden coasters, but I do know that I enjoyed my experience with this one. It's tall, it's long, it's smooth, there's air, what more could you ask for really?

Good Ride but i think the Wild Beast is the better Woody at this park.

Better than most steel coasters at Canada's Wonderland. The Wild Beast is a little more thrilling though.

Best wooden coaster I been on so far. Plus, when the waterpark is open, you get to see the poor guests waiting in long lines to go on the waterslides. Awesome Coaster.

If you are going on the Italian Job, think again. The minimum wait for it is 1 hour. Why wait for that crappy ride when you can have 2 Minebuster rides in under an hour. Avoid the Italian Job. When there are temporary delays on The Italian Job, the wait increases to 1 1/2 hours or more.

MCM is really painful. Even in seat 1.1, it bashed my knees. BURN IT!

There are some really fun parts but most of the time, it's just punching me in random places.

This is the 2nd best coaster in the park. It's smooth, and it has a lot of ejector air. 4/5

This ride is good if you ride in the middle of the car, otherwise it should be called "Mighty Canadian Spinebuster"
Back car middle row is the best on this coaster.

Except in row 5.2, this woodie is crap. Both painful and airless.

Rough as hell, and becaues of this, one of the best at the park! Feels so fast shooting through Splash Works, but they've made it worse and worse after the years. Still very fun, the roughness makes this thing what it is.

Pretty smooth if you don't sit in a row above the wheels. No airtime except in the back.

Airless, rough, the lineup is painful on weekends. Overall, avoid, go on Wild Beast, the line for it is worth it.
