Some rollercoasters at Canada’s Wonderland in Vaughan, Ontario are set to remain closed indefinitely, according to park officials. The decision comes in the wake of a fatal incident at another Six Flags amusement park – Six Flags over Georgia in Mableton, Georgia. Canada’s Wonderland is owned by Six Flags Entertainment Corporation.
The closure is a precautionary measure following the tragic event. For more information, readers are directed to the park's website via the provided link. On Friday, Christopher Mortensen, president of Canada’s Wonderland, announced that while the park would remain open, several rides similar to the one involved in the Georgia incident would be temporarily closed "out of an abundance of caution."
These include popular attractions such as Leviathan and Behemoth. Mortensen highlighted the park's rigorous inspection procedures and the training provided to staff for the safe operation and maintenance of their rides. However, Grace Peacock, a spokesperson for Canada’s Wonderland, told CityNews that there is no timeline in place for when the rides might reopen.
