Visitors younger than 16 must have chaperone at Canada’s Wonderland
CANADA'S WONDERLAND -- A SUNNIER FORECAST FOR THEME PARKS: HAVING STRUGGLED WITH BIG DEBTS AND POOR ATTENDANCE, THE INDUSTRY IS COUNTING ON SEASON'S PASSES TO GIVE VISITORS A REASON TO RIDE -- The Leviathan roller coaster at Canada's Wonderland in Vaughan, Ontario, May 11, 2013. The theme park industry has seen more ups and down than a roller coaster since the recession, as the industry's largest companies struggled under massive debt loads that threatened to close their gates for good. But analysts and executives are counting on this season to turn around the fortunes of the industry's largest companies, which have shifted their focus from one-time visitors toward low-cost annual passes targeted to customers within driving distance of the their parks to ensure a steady stream of traffic this summer. The industry is also spending heavily on new attractions to convince attendees to come back -- last year Canada's Wonderland invested $30-million to build the Leviathan roller coaster, which races around a 1.6-km track at speeds up to 150km an hour. At Wonderland, season's passes sell for $84 per adult, and $64 per junior or senior. A day pass at the gate will set a guest back $46.99. Photo by Philip Cheung / The Globe and Mail.
