Wonderland said the new ride will launch from inside Wonder Mountain and take guests 50 metres into the sky before they are sent through nine inversions.

The ride will last for about 80 seconds as 18 riders get whisked along 1,000 metres of twisting track. The biggest drop on the ride will be 47 metres.

“AlpenFury will deliver an epic, record-breaking thrill,” said Heather Hill, park manager and vice-president of operations, in a news release.

“With the combination of the two launches, that straight vertical climb and nine wild inversions, it will provide an action-packed, unforgettable experience. We’re
excited to add AlpenFury to our lineup of world-class attractions.”

The coaster will officially open on July 12.
