Skyhawk is loacated next to slingshot and across from windseeker next to the mountain on the hill. I circled the area in red. The flying eagles has the kids area in the background so in the kids area.

^Thanks! I like to visualize where things are going!

thats 3 tower rides very close together which is a bit weird lol

These look like great additions!

Looks like two nice additions for the park!

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.

SKyhawk should be entertainingly fun. Glad they are adding to their flat ride lineup.

I don't know much about these rides, is Skyhawk basically a Zamperla Air Race meets WindSeeker?

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.

^ 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.

Reminds me of a updated version of the old Sky Pilot rides that were located at Kings Island and Kings Dominion.

I can't believe no one has commented on Cedar Fairs use, once again, of the word "hawk" in a ride name. lmao

It's not a surprise that's why.

Skyhawk 135.

Canada's Wonderland is getting ready for another announcement!

This appears to be their other announcement.

"2016 Season Passes are on sale for only $67.99! But that isn't all... renewing passholders get a FREE Fast Lane PLUS!"

^Pretty sure it was just to post their deals and payment plans for Season Passes right now. All Cedar Fair parks are doing it. Get a Free Visit this year for First Time Passholders or a Free Fast Lane for renewing passholders.

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.

Isn't it easier to flip on the Sky Roller?

Spectacular addition! The Sky Rollers are great rides, an with the added height it will be awesome!

Coasterjunkie1975 wakes up,looks at Canada'a Wonderlands new rides,scratches himself and then goes back to sleep to dream about going to Dollywood to ride Lightening Rod.

If I hear weeeees coming out of Robb Alvey then I know this is going to be a great ride, especially with the added height and being on top of a hill!

Location confirmed across from Windseeker next to Slingshot!

located on the hill across from Windseeker and beside Slingshot.
