The ride begins by dangling trains of 24 riders over the edge before plunging them down a 245-foot drop into an underwater tunnel. (Woah!) At this point, riders reach a whopping 80 mph before flipping into a series of 4 inversions. Included in these inversions is a 360-degree vertical loop which has never been featured on a dive coaster until now! Overall, the ride spans a length of 3,625 feet with an impressive ride duration of 3 minutes and 25 seconds.

Additionally, Yukon Striker joins a newly themed land, Frontier Canada, officially opening at Canada’s Wonderland in 2019. Frontier Canada transports guests back in time to the rugged Yukon backcountry during the Klondike Gold Rush of the 1890’s. Guests will be treated to an adventure along with learning about the prospects, miners, and lumberjacks that were a part of the great gold rush boom. Additionally, the coaster will join Lumberjack, Flying Canoes, Soaring Timbers, Vortex and many other thrilling attractions at the park in Frontier Canada.
