Wilde Beast — Attraction in Vaughan

The worst ride I've ever been on and if I knew it was going to be this bad, I would not have gone on it. The rides are small and tight, and feel like it should only be for kids. I know it's a wooden coaster, and it's impressive it has withstood so long, but there are many, many restrictions such as tucking in your arms, feet, lean your head back, no standing. The "no standing" part goes without saying, but one part of the ride, the "ceiling" felt quite low for tall people). And the worst part is that it's SO rickety and shaky. The reason they tell you to lean your head back is because the shaking literally affects your head if you are leaning forward, but they told you to hold on to the bars at the front. It's just hard to do that! The drops are quite fast and still exciting, but it just felt painful throughout the ride and some of us felt they had a concussion after. Don't recommend for adults unless you like to be shaken continuously and get neck pain. Would not do...

Wild Beast is definitely a piece of Canada’s Wonderland history — one of the original five rollercoasters that opened with the park back in 1981 — and riding it, you can absolutely feel its age.

I’m sure when it first opened, this wooden coaster was an exciting and groundbreaking ride, but by today’s standards, it feels very rough and shaky. Every turn and drop rattles you around quite a bit, and it’s far from the smooth, modern coaster experience that newer rides in the park offer.

That said, it’s still fun to ride for the nostalgia and for the classic wooden coaster experience, especially if you want to get a sense of Wonderland’s early days. Just be prepared for a bumpy, old-school ride that might leave you feeling a little jostled.

Overall, Wild Beast is a neat piece of park history, but it definitely shows its age. Worth doing once for the nostalgia — but probably not a ride you’ll want to do repeatedly in...

The other wooden coaster, second to the Mighty Canadian Minebuster. This ride is wonderful, just like any wooden ride, it gives you some airtime, although I don't think that's the intention. The coaster's lift hill does not have a pretty view so the only experience that needs to be assessed is the roller coaster itself. It has a very complicated and extremely fun layout that goes around and at times makes you feel like it's going to cut your hands off from putting them up, don't worry, it won't. So why is this second to Mighty Canadian Minebuster in my opinion? 2 reasons, 1 it doesn't have a great view like Mighty Minebuster does, and secondly, the Minebuster is more forgiving on your hips when it comes to turning. Either way both are wonderful coasters that I hope never leave the park. Wilde Beast could be redesigned to take up less space however, because that part where you go around a large circle is wasting a...
