Yukon Striker is a steel roller coaster at Canada's Wonderland in Vaughan, Ontario.[2] Designed as a Dive Coaster from manufacturer Bolliger & Mabillard, the ride opened to the general public on 3 May 2019 in place of SkyRider, a roller coaster that was removed from the park in 2014. Featuring a height of 68 m, a length of 1105 m, and a maximum speed of 130 km/h, Yukon Striker is the world's tallest, longest, and fastest dive coaster, sharing its height record with Valravn at Cedar Point. Its four inversions and drop length of 75 m also set world records among dive coaster models.
History
Following the park's removal of SkyRider, Canada's Wonderland began preparations for a new ride.[3] In 2014, the park requested a geotechnical investigation of the area, extracting soil samples to assess building a roller coaster's concrete foundation.[4]
