Yukon Striker is one of the best dive coasters in the world, and is my 2nd favorite ride at Wonderland. I prefer SheiKra back at home a bit more because of the roomier restraints and better theming, but when it comes to just the ride's layout, Yukon Striker takes the cake. The restraints are a little constricting, but the vests have give to them that let you lean forward and get more air on the drops. The first drop is excellent. If you want the best view of the tiny tunnel in the middle of Vortex's helix, I recommend front. For those of you who want the most airtime on the huge drop, I recommend back. For a bit of both, try the middle. The drop is sudden, especially after hanging over the edge for a few seconds, and the fall is nice and long as you dive through Vortex, through the tunnel, and under the water. You emerge from the tunnel into a giant immelmann loop that turns you around to face the drop you just braved. It's a bit forceful, and in the back you could get some air at the top. You swoop back down over the water after twisting out, before twisting into a huge, smooth, and floaty zero g roll. Then there are two more loops that are pretty forceful with a trench in between them, and after the last one the ride is essentially over as you hit the brakes above one of the water rides. There's a nice bonus section after this with a small, steep, sudden drop and a spiral over the path before the ride really ends. The ride is scenic, smooth, huge, and just thrilling enough, and it gets bonus points for interacting with other rides in the park.

My brother, cousin, and I took a day off midweek to spend the day at Canada’s Wonderland — and heading straight for Yukon Striker was the best decision we made! We’d heard that the lines for Yukon Striker, Behemoth, and Leviathan can get pretty long as the day goes on, so we made this our first stop. The wait was totally worth it — and Yukon Striker ended up being our favourite ride of the entire day! The coaster itself is incredible. It’s the smoothest ride of all the big coasters in the park — no jerky motions, no uncomfortable bumps — just pure, thrilling fun. And the dive straight down into the underwater tunnel is absolutely wild! It gives you that perfect rush without feeling rough or overwhelming. Of the three big coasters (Yukon Striker, Behemoth, and Leviathan), this one easily topped our list for both excitement and ride experience. If you love coasters that are fast, smooth, and exhilarating, this one is a must. If you’re visiting Wonderland, definitely make Yukon Striker your first ride of the day before the line gets too long — you won’t regret it!

really fun & creatively designed throughout. i hated hanging over the park for 3-5 seconds before dropping at first, the suspense killed me, but after a few times (not in the front row) i've gotten used to it. lots of inversions, lots of variety, 2 dive drops in total. sitting on the very edge of any row is thrilling (each cart is 3 rows, 8 seats wide) because you really feel the twists and turns. this one isn't as tall as the Leviathan & Behemoth but it always manages to surprise you. very unique. the theme in the waiting line is also well done, they have a bunch of barrels and old-fashioned mine structures. gives you a feel of the whole "Yukon striker" thing.
