Canada's Wonderland arranges 17 coasters around a 45-metre artificial mountain with a waterfall running down it. Leviathan and Behemoth are both 70-metre-plus giants from B&M, Yukon Striker is the world's longest dive coaster, and Wonder Mountain's Guardian is the longest interactive dark ride of its type.
Splash Works is included with admission, which makes a Toronto summer visit far better value than the gate price suggests.
