robbalvey Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 NEW FOR 2016: FLYING EAGLES & SKYHAWK! Vaughan, ON (August 20, 2015) – Canada’s Wonderland is taking guests to new heights for 2016 with the addition of two new rides that will capture the imagination of both families, and thrill-seekers, as they take flight in an interactive flying experience. Skyhawk, the first ride of its kind in North America, will take riders to a new level of adventure when the park opens for its 35th season in 2016. Riders will take control of their own cockpit, showcasing their flying abilities as they maneuver through 360 degree turns, and challenge themselves to engage in multiple inversions at 135 feet (41m) in the air. Flying Eagles will thrill little pilots and quickly become a family favourite for parents and children alike. These two-person planes will glide 28 feet (8.5m) above the ground and allow each rider to control their flight and ride experience. “We are always looking to enhance the guest experience with new and exciting attractions. With the introduction of Skyhawk and Flying Eagles, thrill-seekers of all ages will enjoy the flying sensation on these interactive rides that are truly unique to our Park.” Norm Pirtovshek, General Manager, Canada’s Wonderland. To coincide with the new ride announcement, Canada’s Wonderland will simultaneously launch a limited time offer on 2016 Season Passes that are priced at only $67.99. Each pass will include a free visit for new Passholders or a free Fast Lane PLUS for renewing Passholders – both valid for the remainder of the 2015 season.

chadster Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 SKyhawk should be entertainingly fun. Glad they are adding to their flat ride lineup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yay101 Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 I don't know much about these rides, is Skyhawk basically a Zamperla Air Race meets WindSeeker? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MIAfan88 Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Screamscape was reporting that Skyhawk ride was going to multiple Six Flags parks this years. I guess he was partly correct. Both are excellent additions. Cedar Fair is doing a great job with additions this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterkid124 Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 ^ I believe that was for the Air Race model, this is a little different. Very cool. I always wanted to get on one of those Skyhawk models. Looks like I will have to squeeze in an unexpected trip to Wonderland next year after all.

mhuffva Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 I don't know much about these rides, is Skyhawk basically a Zamperla Air Race meets WindSeeker? Reminds me of a updated version of the old Sky Pilot rides that were located at Kings Island and Kings Dominion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boldikus Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 I can't believe no one has commented on Cedar Fairs use, once again, of the word "hawk" in a ride name. lmao Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coasterguy21 Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 ^Pretty sure it was just to post their deals and payment plans for Season Passes right now. All Cedar Fair parks are doing it.

bluestreak Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Correct me if I am wrong but I believe that is the same style of ride as the Ninja Turtles Shell Shock ride at Mall of America Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GCI Wooden Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Correct me if I am wrong but I believe that is the same style of ride as the Ninja Turtles Shell Shock ride at Mall of America They are similar. Ninja Turtles is a Gerstalauer Sky Fly, and Skyhawk is a Gerstalauer Sky Roller. Sky Roller stays level: Sky Fly tilts: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
