Earlier today the final piece of Yukon Striker was lifted into place - the top of the 360-degree loop. Yukon Striker at Canada's Wonderland is a dive machine built by the Swiss coaster manufacturer "Bolliger and Mabillard." The four-inversion roller coaster is the tallest, fastest, and longest dive coaster in the world.

"The launch of Yukon Striker coincides with the official opening of Frontier Canada, a gold rush-themed attraction area in Canada's Wonderland. Originally conceived of for the park's opening in 1981, Frontier Canada was never realized until now. "
