Willowdale(opens in a new window), Canada(opens in a new window)

The capital of Ontario, Toronto is the epitome of Canada cool. Be sure to make the 90-minute drive to Niagara Falls and soak up the view from the ‘prettier’ side of the falls. Root for hometown ice-hockey heroes the Toronto Maple Leafs, or watch baseball’s Blue Jays and NBA’s Toronto Raptors in action. Take in some history at the Royal Ontario Museum, shop until you drop at Eaton Centre and sample cuisines from all over the world thanks to the city’s diverse population. Head to the Entertainment District for a night on the town, or check out the edgy music scene at Massey Hall or Glenn Gould Studio.

Canada's Wonderland(Opens in a new window)

Canada's Wonderland, formerly known as Paramount Canada's Wonderland, is a 330 acre amusement park located in Vaughan, Ontario, a municipality within the Greater Toronto Area. Opened in 1981 by the Taft Broadcasting Company and the Great-West Life Assurance Company, it was the first major theme park in Canada and remains the country's largest. Cedar Fair (merged with Six Flags since 1 July 2024) purchased the park from Paramount Parks in 2006, and they have owned and operated the park since then. In 2019, it was the most-visited seasonal amusement park in North America with an estimated 3.9 million guests. The park still retains this record, with an estimated 3.8 million guests in 2022 amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

Exhibition Place(Opens in a new window)

Exhibition Place is a publicly owned mixed-use district in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, located by the shoreline of Lake Ontario, just west of downtown. The 197  acre site includes exhibit, trade, and banquet centres, theatre and music buildings, monuments, parkland, sports facilities, and a number of civic, provincial, and national historic sites. The district's facilities are used year-round for exhibitions, trade shows, public and private functions, and sporting events.

WindSeeker(Opens in a new window)

WindSeeker is a 301 ft swing ride at several Six Flags parks. The rides are Wind Seeker models manufactured by Mondial. They opened for the 2011 season at Canada's Wonderland in Ontario, Cedar Point and Kings Island in Ohio, and Knott's Berry Farm in California. Carowinds in North Carolina and Kings Dominion in Virginia opened their WindSeekers in 2012. The first four each cost US$5 million, while the remaining two each cost $6.5 million. Cedar Fair (now Six Flags) relocated the Knott's Berry Farm WindSeeker to Worlds of Fun in 2014, where it reopened as SteelHawk.

Medieval Faire (Canada's Wonderland)(Opens in a new window)

Originally themed around the Middle Ages, Medieval Faire is a section of Canada's Wonderland, a theme park in Vaughan, Ontario, Canada. As such, early attractions created under Kings Entertainment Company were named after knights, Don Quixote, Vikings, dragons, bats, and beasts. Throughout the Paramount Parks era, the section's new attractions lacked appropriate theming. The introduction of the Leviathan roller coaster to Medieval Faire in 2012 was the first major investment in the section since 2000; the park is now under ownership of Six Flags. The section includes four roller coasters (The Bat, Dragon Fyre, Leviathan, and Wilde Beast) and six other rides.
