Canada’s Wonderland Reopens Sunday with Friday Preview for Passholders
Canada’s Wonderland reopens Sunday, with a special preview Friday night for season passholders. The park’s season start now lands alongside a busy weekend lineup in the region, and visitors heading in should know the opening comes with new food, a summer ride debut and a stricter evening entry rule for younger guests.
Friday Night for Passholders
The preview gives season passholders first access before the full reopening, a small but useful shift for anyone trying to beat the first-day crowds. For regular visitors, the more immediate change is practical: the park is back on the calendar this weekend, and planning around the opening now means planning around the new rules as well.
As of 4 p.m. daily, guests aged 15 years old or younger must be accompanied by a chaperone who is at least 21 years old in order to be admitted or to remain in the park. That policy applies every day, not just on peak dates, which puts a clear age-and-time limit on evening visits for families and teens.
The DareDeviler This Summer
The DareDeviler, formerly known as Flight Deck, is set to open this summer. The ride is inspired by early aviation and the Grande World Expo, giving the park a fresh headline attraction after opening weekend rather than folding everything into Sunday’s launch.
That staggered rollout leaves the reopening weekend to carry the gate traffic while the ride arrives later. It also gives the park a second reason to draw repeat visitors once the summer season settles in, especially for guests who want a new ride rather than just the first day back.
New Menu at Wonderland
New treats at Canada’s Wonderland include a Choco Crispy Bites Funnel Cake, Donair Kababs and Tanghulu fruit skewers. That is the kind of addition that matters on opening weekend because food lines often become part of the visit, and the park is clearly pairing the season restart with more than one draw.
For visitors, the useful move is simple: passholders can use Friday night for a first look, while everyone else should go in knowing the gate time, the age rule after 4 p.m. and the summer ride timeline. The park is not just reopening; it is resetting how an evening visit works for anyone 15 years old or younger.
