I wouldn't call that a "second half." I'd call it more of a final fifth. I personally think it's a great addition. It's a high capacity ride with a great appearance. It fits the park's spatial needs nicely and is sure to be a thrilling attraction.
Some random Artist gay
I agree. This looks amazing and if a ride like this came to CGA I'd be thrilled.
amagumba I hope Yukon striker doesn't get vest restraints, it should get ots restraints
Quinton Parchment I'm cool with vest restraints. Sure they can be a bit tight on the chest but they prevent headbanging and make my head feel more open and free. I'd say a dive coaster drop is less about airtime and more about the force of the drop. It's a personal preference though, and I can understand why some may not be fans of the restraints.
Theme Park Crazy u shut up u haven’t even been to cedar point u fake youtuber
"a vertical loop is a weird choice of an element for a dive coaster"
You just triggered every RCT player ever.
Mr. Meloetta not really for me as I didn't really use that element much on them, the RCT dive coaster just sucks as that's the only inversion. While I do make decent use of the type, the Vertical Loop is used a little more as I use the Vertical Loop on the wood coaster, and I hardly EVER use that.
Oh man the rct dive coaster or "vertical drop coaster" is so off compared to mosern dive coasters. Love the games though. Number 2 has always been my favorite
I dont get how its a weird choice.. is it going to be awesome or not?? Maybe not commonly done.. but that doesnt make it weird.. it makes it unique!! :D
I think its cool, just look at rmc they do weird stuff all the time and everyone loves it!
Me: This coaster needs to be more exciting
*adds 9 loops*
It's not themed to a bird. It's themed to the gold rush.
Then why is there a bird in the logo
Coaster Studios the ride is themed to people travelling the treacherous terrain of Yukon. The parks site has a story of the ride on it and at one part it says something about a Golden Eagle watching over the people travelling the Yukon in search of gold
So I’m pretty sure that the gold miners or the Yukon people (yes I’m Canadian I’m to young to understand) failed and now are doomed and the only mention of a bird in the backstory is a golden eagle flys above the miners high in the sky I know kind of stupid but still excited for the ride also that vertical loop is memorial to skyrider probably
Pretty sure Coaster Fun has the right of it. I assumed the "Striker" referred to striking gold, hence the pickaxes in the logo. It's the only way I can make sense of the name.
Brian MacDonald yes I was thinking striker meant striking gold as well
Should've been named Yukon Strikr to match its brothers
Elora Maxwell Yukon StrikR
😂😂
This is the best comment on it I've seen so far
i agree
Dart valrirvn burn doe and yess its pronounced valrirvn
A 95 FOOT TALL LOOP
Luciano Alonso dang that’s tall
A 95 FOOT TALL LOOP
I need an Asprin
A 95 FOOT TALL LOOP
Shut up! MY GOSH SHUT UP! I need an Asprin.
a ninty five foot tall- I can still hear you!!
The loop and the last quarter of the ride is a total homage to Skyrider if you ask me. The loop, the helix. And it's all themed to the Klondike Gold Rush, check Wonderland's site for yourself. At least Canada's Wonderland is getting something "big". And hey, it's our first custom-looping coaster since 1981, cut us some slack! Lol
CK Films exactly what I thought!! Especially the helix at the end.
Yep it also has a similar paint jobs to skyrider
Canada's Wonderland rollercoasters aren't about why, it's about why not!? Why not have a verticle loop of a dive coaster? Why not keep the bumpiest wooden coaster in North America up and running? Why not build Vortex's supports straight into the mountain? Why not have a shuttle coaster with an Arrow train on it?
See my point?
More than an Immelmann for the first half of a dive? Has messiah come?
Spicy Falafel but the last half is a slow helix so it makes up for it heheheh
Eli Etheridge I don’t know if you went to school or not but I am pretty sure that’s not the last “half” more like last “quarter “.
I personally think this will work well at Canada's Wonderland. Yukon striker is a big deal for Canadians. there is not really a good looping coaster at all at wonderland. The vertical loop is unique and don't think it will be that bad. I can't wait to ride Yukon striker tho when it opens in 2019!
Ben Wilson Dragon fire? Bat?
@@gabegupta1215 Those aren't good modern rides, they are old and rough
@@thebrantfordrailfan Agree The Bat Flight Deck and Dragon Fire are all old and rough and we are finally getting a smooth looping coaster. The Bat is the only one that gets a good line Dragon Fire and Flight Deck are mostly walk ons
@@codywanschura3824 I am ok for the most part with the Bat andd Dragon fire, especially dragon fire since it's such a classic but in my opinion Flight Deck and Time Warp need to go. They can put a B&M Flyer in it's place. Many people want a B&M invert but the silly GP is probably going to complain about how they took down Flight Deck and put in "the exact same thing"
Sooooo people complain about the Midcourse being too early in valravn and taking away too much momentum... And now B and M answers and puts it at the end of the and now people are mad because it will have a lame ending... B and M cant catch a break!
Kason Anthony we all know that if RMC built this that Taylor would be gushing over it and calling it a revolutionary dive coaster. RMC is great, but the community has to stop this circle jerk to it.
But some GPs riding the dive in Korea says early MCBR makes them more scared because it gives time for recovery(for the drop) and drop down again.
I actually disagree. I think a dive coaster is a GREAT fit for CW. Dive coasters are huge crowd pleasers and CW is one of if not the most visited of the cedar fair parks. I think the layout is one of the best I've seen on a dive coaster. The color scheme I think works better on this than Valravn. The drop into the tunnel through vortex looks fantastic! And I actually like the vertical loop and think it'll be an interesting experience. I'm not big on the name, but it's better than Ziz or Valravn. I am really worried about the vest restraints and think that'll kill the ride
I agree with this comment. I am not looking forward to vest restraints, OTS restraints would have been better. Although, I am excited for the loop. There simple but still one of my favourite elements, and its a good tribute to Skyrider.
Jonay _ hey I’m not a big coaster person but what is an OTS restraint?
Over the shoulder restraint is what it stands for. Basically it's the restraint that goes over your shoulders and any kind of restraint that isn't a lap bar. The vest restraint is a kind of OTSR that is REALLY bad. Yukon Striker will have this
National Coaster News ok thanks
Jonay _ I think we can agree the best situation is lap bars. If cannibal can have them, so can a diver coaster
Okay why does everyone hate the loop? I think it looks really cool and I’m glad it’s there
As much as I like this channel, I'd say that your opinions on this ride were pretty arrogant. The name "Yukon striker" fits more into the area and theming of the western frontier Canada area, which is going to become theming transformed next year. Something called "ziz" would just make it sound like another part of the action zone, when it's decently far away from it. I also think that the giant loop is to pay tribute to the previous existing ride, and it would also be interesting to see a 95 foot tall loop in person.
Couldn't agree more. It's annoying listening to someone condemn something they don't understand.
Keystone State agreed
As a Torontonian I am super excited for this! Also I think Wonderland will have a Top 4:
1. Behemoth
2. Yukon Striker
3. Leviathan
4. Vortex
Everyone forgets about Vortex, I think it is the best still operating Suspended Coaster tied with Ninja at SFMM.
Daniel K do you seriously think that a B&M dive will be better than a B&M giga?
We'll see when I ride it. I love Leviathan but it has it's flaws. Plus this is a record breaker of a dive coaster. Realistically Yukon Striker should actual be #4 on the list, since no one has ridden it yet. Also I've never been on a dive coaster before, so even though I know what to expect, I've never actually experienced one before. Also it's my opinion so you don't have to agree.
Daniel K this does look like one of the best dive coasters. Leviathan is my favorite in the park and I wasn't too crazy about Valravn so maybe I'm not giving this enough of a chance. I shall see when I ride it
On the subject of Leviathan I guess Leviathan is currently 2nd after Behemoth and before Vortex imo. It is a really solid ride, but isn't as good as Behemoth.
Vortex, great ride C: love it but the wait times can get pretty bad if it's a busy day at the park!
Dont think dividing the coaster into halves is a fair way to judge it. Obviously, the brake run isnt in the middle of this ride, so its not odd at all that the second "half" is weak, since it really isnt half of the ride. Its basically over when it hits the brakes. I think this has potential to be the best dive coaster in the world (in terms of just the coaster, theming aside) but, like you said, the vest restraints might mess it up. That being said, I suppose we will just have to ride it before we can make a fair judgement of the ride.
I kinda like the Yukon striker name...
I disagree. I think it’s a perfect fit, although I think a wing or flourless coaster would be better.
Pro Gamer_21 *floorless
Pro Gamer_21 agreed
what about a B&M invert?
A B&M invert or wing would have been a better ride, but this is like really good for a dive with vests
Ah yes I need more gluten free coasters
The new loop is cool, best dive.
Emini Blanc “best Dive”
You haven’t ridden it yet. So you can’t judge.
Well... "best" is relative.. in terms of height and the tunnel feature, it def is. The feeling though.. that is TBD
Some coasters are centred for enthusiasts and the GP. This coaster is centred for just the GP. I still think it will be an awesome fit. It's tall and fast, and it's a coaster at CW with inversions that's actually GOOD! Like, we should celebrate that. Americans are spoiled with the worlds most fantastic coaster lineup so... of course this won't impress a lot of them. As a Canadian, this is very exciting for me, and I'm not gonna nitpick every little thing about it. It's tall, fast and has an under water tunnel. And it's also photogenic. I do agree that the name is a bit... awkward, but we'll get used to it.
Exactly. You can't cater to one group too much, otherwise you become one-dimensional. Honestly, we enthusiasts are lucky to get some of the awesome intense coasters like I-305, Skyrush, and even Steel Vengeance because it's like this one guy said (and I can't remember who, sorry), for the GP, they'll ride a crazy intense coaster once, be like "that was awesome... but I've had enough", and, we have to remember, MOST PEOPLE ARE GP. Enthusiasts make up a very small percentage of the population. I personally only know one true enthusiast. We are the minority. So seeing as the GP are the main "demographic", we enthusiasts are lucky to have these crazy intense RMCs and Intamins.
alex seidner Yeah. I think enthusiasts should be more mature and see things in perspective.
THE GP WILL RUIN THIS RIDEEE
“Yo, did you hear what cedar points getting?”
“No What?”
“It’s the tallest, longest, fastest coaster ever!”
“Wait so it’s taller than Top Thrill Dragster?”
“I guess so”
Help, the GP has assumed the coaster again
I thought Tampa said atleast the gp really aren't like that?
Atleast their getting a new coaster. Unlike two other cedar fair parks in know. Cough cough Michigan’s Adventure and valley fair cough cough
Don’t forget Dorney Park and Worlds of Fun.
Gilroy Gardens
Eccentric Gamer well it’s possible that both are getting that Mack rides coaster in Europe or an rmc raptor
dorney too :(
A Virus ok yea but it’s a family park so it’s irrelevant
Yukon striker. So it’s themed to bowling in Canada??
You would be good at writing parodies
That’s to good and I’m a Canadian
Here are my ideas for parodies
Superman (All of them)
El Toro
Colossus (I know that it isn't open, but that is the point)
Intamin Zac Spins
Wildfire
Wicker Man
Smiler
Icon
Big One
Skyrush
Great Bear (Weakest B&M Invert)
Do you have any of them planned? If so, say can you say yes without saying which one(s)
Coaster Studios Thanks. Feel free to use it if you make a parody of this ride
This park needs a top 5, so I want to see this park get something like a Floorless or a flyer or an Invert, or a good Launch Coaster
Caleb Reese they have flight deck
1k subs no vids Flight deck is awful
They have a launch
1k subs no vids yeah but that’s trash
Brandon
They don’t have a launch
Never I forgot the have backlot but in my opinion it is the worst backlot in the chain I have ridden all of then
All u do is just talk negative about Canada’s Wonderland, this is an awesome coaster especially for wonderland definitely could’ve gotten something better but the fact that ur already saying the ride is not going to be good is kinda an impulsive opinion
Tyler, the reason that plot of land next to the Immelmann was left alone is because that’s where everyone sits to watch fireworks.
Yup
Chez Napoli ah, didn't know that! Makes sense
Ugh and here im sayin.. oh thats for the next amazing riiiide! :/
I was there yesterday. Really exited for this ride!
It's too bad Wonderland let you personally down. Feel free to not visit us up in Canada if we're not providing you with your perfect coaster (insert baby crying soundtrack here)... The amazing achievements others are creating while you sit behind your keyboard and mic should be applauded - this will be a great addition to an already great park that not only provides one helluva ride, but pays homage to its predecessor in a very clever fashion.
Maybe if you're lucky we can try to get those folks spending the millions to provide entertainment to the masses to run their ideas, branding and immersive experience concepts past you for on-high approval herein out.
Yukon striker is a much much better name than steel vengeance.
zack mcdonald Thank you!!!!!!
I disagree.
It is
zack mcdonald Thank you Very Much
zack mcdonald ehhhh not really
yukon is a territory/state in canada, so that is why it is named after that, i think its a great name
Okay, I know this is meant to be a serious video, but when you said "95 foot tall vertical loop" and a certain image popped up, I died laughing. I loved that episode of Coaster Parodies on Time Traveler. You pulled off a very sly and subtle joke that a couple people will get and I find this in particular, hilarious. Well done video as always, but that bit got me rolling. hahaha
I know your kind of hating on the ride. But take it from someone who’s home park is wonderland. It feels so damn good to get something that’s nicer than the cedar point exclusive.
Thank you
I wonder if it will get stuck on the loop as often as the coaster it replaced.
The big space beside the immleman that you said could be used for another element is actually used for special events. Many people go to have picnics there and is always completely filled up with people when there are fireworks displays.
Are you going anywhere tomorrow for National Roller Coaster Day?
Kings Island!
Looks dope... Can't wait to ride!
Oh yeah I'm pumped for this ride and I'm going to Canada's wonderland next year
Can cedar fair combine Yukon striker first have and valravn second half
Ive been watching your videos for the past like week non stop.. I'm so glad I found this channel lol
If you think the name is terrible, then why don't you hate the name for Georgia Cyclone, Georgia Scorcher, Carolina Cyclone, Carolina Cobra, Carolina Goldrusher, California Screamin, New Texas Giant, Tennessee Tornado .ETC? They basically mean the same thing because they are named after states, and Yukon Striker is named after one of the three Canadian territories. Why is it bad for a coaster to be named after a Canadian territory (where the gold rush was) but not bad for one to be named after a USA state?
I wish you wouldn't call it a "Second Half" it's more like the slow down with a helix taking you back to shed. The "First Half" as you call it kills Valraven's first and second combined.
Also the name is fine, look at the rides around it, all Canadiana themed. Timber wolf Falls, Flying Canoes,Flying Eagle, Lumberjack, Soaring Timbers. Yukon Striker makes total sense.
The vertical loop is there to pay tribute to skyrider.
Wow this coaster seems amazing
What do you think about winter fest coming to canada’s wonderland
Yes another coaster on my bucket list! 😊
Very good looking. Cant wait to ride it
The loop was for to give a nod to sky riders iconic vertical loop which is absolutely amazing. And the second half is like skyriders helix it has a airtime hill and then it goes into its helix like skyrider. And the similar colours. Canada’s wonderland fans were sad to find out skyrider was closing. So this was a perfect addition and upgrade to give a nod to skyrider!
And the first part of any coaster is obviously always the best part. Idk why your so paranoid that the helix after the brake run isn’t that good of a climax. Look at almost every b and m in the world has a helix after the brake run. Watch your own parodies
i was really waiting for this
What's a Yukon Striker and why is is spelled that way? Oh wrong coaster.
Whats wrong with a vertical loop?
Are they going to call the area it’s in Yukon Strickers grove? Get it?
Super excited!
But doesn't hangtime have more inversions? Or did you just mean B&M dives?
I personally really like dive coasters and am pretty excited for this ride. I think that if after the immilmen they had a over bank going to the right onto that empty plot of land then a diveloop before the zeroG, then the ride would be much better
Almost 100k. Congrats man! 😁😁
In the animation does anyone else see the akward moment right after the vertical loop there’s that weird part that kind of goes down and the down again? I hope this is only in the animation and not real life
This coaster parody writes itself.
"Yukon Striker, wait, I get we're in the Yukon, but what are we striking? Is the Striker a kind of mythical bird, like a Valravn? Wait, it's themed to a mine? Ok, apart from how there are already a lot of dive coasters themed to mines (Baron 1898, Tower of Terror coaster), but why the heck is a bird its mascot? We already have two themed to birds, but at least they both make some kind of sense (ShieKra is actually themed to a real-life bird called the shikra, they just added the e to get the public to get the pronunciation right, Valravn is, I don't know, a raven that went to Valhalla?), this one just is out of place."
"Rise up the intimidating lift hill into a vertical drop into an underwater tunnel, which will surely become the thumbnail for several clickbait GP videos, then rise into the almost obligatory dive coaster Immleman, then through a corkscrew, a turn, a... vertical loop? Then a second immleman, then pass through the midcourse and into an... airtime hill? Who designed this? This layout is crazy, not in a good or bad, but in a weird way." -cut to parody scene- "Now, finish the layout with an anticlimactic helix, then into the final break run. Congratulations! You've just braved a ride that most of the GP would most likely run away from."
Where r the airtime hills?
The coasters vertical loop is a tribute to the former ride “sky rider” and before you go off telling me that they don’t make these rides with tributes in mind, Canada’s wonderland confirmed it themselves.
Does you Yukon striker time travel
I have recently rode Yukon striker and the vests are new. B&M made it so there is more room for more airtime and/or hang time. The vertical loop is pretty forceful. And the “second half” more like a quarter actually is better than anticipated you get decent floater and the helix is pretty fast
i wish that cedar fair would add another roller coaster to Worlds Of Fun!! it’s my home park and it’s almost been 10 years 😥
I'm so excited for this ride
When is valleyfair getting a new coaster
I can tell this is gonna be a great ride thanks a lot coaster studios, now I know what I’m up against for my 2019 trip to Canada’s wonderland!
Great video it looks like it will be a better dive coaster than the likes of valraven and sheikra
It will probably be the best Dive Coaster when it opens
Cross Crease Hockey I definitely think it will be with a drop of that size
That really doesn't matter if its forceless because of the vest restraints.
JoeBlow I know what you mean
I hope it doesn't get the vest restraints it's the worst invention by b&m it should get ots restraints
They will he using the non tight vest restraints like valkyria
I got a email from wonderland saying that there is a new ride in 2019 called a youkon striker so finally a vid that dosnt lie
what sucks is that the vests are gonna really tighten up as you're hitting the bottom of that first drop
Why are you questioning the vertical loop?
Coz he can
Good video! I'm pretty excited for this dive coaster. I can respect your opinion on it :)
BryceFourn 2001 Lol you are one of all who say that last sentence.
And Valravn flows right off the tongue?
Isn't it the same height as Valravn?
Do you think that B&M will use again the old vest restraints on a new roller coaster? I mean there isnt yet like a B&M floorless with the new restraints but every new B&M coaster since Banshee has the new restranits... I personally think that they wont use the old vest restraints again :/
Obviously talking about Dive, Wing and Floorless coasters, not hyper ones...
I think it's great idea with the vertical loop what other element do you think they can add? Definitely not another dive loop.
Rock bottom plunge at nickoloadian universe has a vertical loop (excuse my spelling)
wow love it very beaitful new 2019 rollercoaster yukon striker smile
I actually love the vest restraints. Maybe it has to do with a person's size, but at my size, they are awesome! With those B&M over the shoulder restraints, I always get at least some headbanging, but none at all with the vest restraints. And I still do feel the airtime, even with the vests. I definitely was feeling the airtime on Valravn, on both the drop and the couple of hills. A week later, I rode Griffon with the OTS restraints, and I didn't notice any improvement in airtime.
In regards to the layout, this is looking pretty good to me. The vertical loop does seem odd, but it's something different. I would've preferred a dive loop to be included, but that would've been in place of the 2nd Immelmann. I like that this one includes more elements before the MCBR. It kind of makes up for the rest of the ride not doing much. The MCBR on other dive coasters seem to come way too soon. Even though I do really love dive coasters, I still don't see them as top tier coasters. They can be upper-mid-level coasters though, and I think this one will be.
Another banger 🔥
You can't say that's a second half. I think that the second half is after the imilmon (or however you spell it).
Coaster Studios, I didn't get the manufacturer. Is the manufacturer B&M like Valravn?
everyone says CW is CF's prototype park but actually, CP was the prototype park as everything wrong with valravn has been fixed and this coaster is so smooth that you can feel the mid-course shake
So this one is longer than Oblivion?
Guys, he’s less than 1,000 away from 100k subs. Who else thinks he should livestream his live sub count once he gets super close to 100k?
I've never been there so what ride did this replace
Ryan a Togo stand up called skyrider
Mason Ricci-Moran How long has it been empty
I think this is a great fit honestly, and I love the vertical loop. I do think the second half is weak and the name/theming isn't great, but as far as Canada's Wonderland coasters go, what honestly would've been better?
RMC Wild Beast, a Launch Coaster, a Wing Coaster, a Launched Wing Coaster...
SiebayRoo maybe a floorless or an Invert
A launched hyper coaster.
Flight Deck 2
Not all launched B&Ms are wings.
Does anyone remember in rct2 where the only inversion you could put on a dive coaster was a vertical lift
"vertical lift"
Can you do canada's wonderland operations test
Congratulations for 100k subscribers!
Taylor, I think you're being terribly critical of this ride. Different layout from the usual dive coasters is what'll make it unique and a load of fun!
Great Analysis!
You’re so close to 100k!
I think the reason for the open space by Vortex is going to be used for the 2020 season? Maybe a roller coaster, another drop tower, etc? I LOVE Wonderland and they're starting to run out of space for new rides/ attractions
You cannot call the helix the second have. Just cause it's called an mcbr doesn't mean it's in the actual middle of the ride
Personally, I find this will be a great addition to the park. It’s going to balance out crowds, it’s a high capacity & high thrill coaster (keep in mind our last high thrill coaster was Leviathan in 2012) and it has GOOD INVERSIONS; one of the biggest gaps in our lineup. As for the name, it’s growing on me (maybe because I’m Canadian and I get the reference), but the logo is beautiful and it’s bringing a long awaited themed area with Frontier Canada, so that’s always nice. Also I know you’ve probably heard this a lot, but the open land by Vortex is the parks main firework viewing area so they did not want to touch it (that’s also why the midcourse is kinda long, it has to go over Timberwolf Falls) Overall good analysis, and I’m looking forward to riding this next year!👍🏻
I think the vertical loop and helix/ airtime hill after the mcbr are supposed to be sorta like a memorial for skyrider
Can you make a video on Busch Gardens Williamsburg the ride coming for 2019 and the rumored new country
99k subs you are so close!
Can u do a Canada’s wonderland vs cedar point
Not a fan of that vertical loop.. it’s just seems... _wrong_
And that mcbr 😫 and the helix after that like what’s the point 😂😭
Other than that it looks like a super solid new ride and it might warrant a trip to Canada’s wonderland from the states 😁
