ART Engineering, an amusement ride manufacturer that develops roller coasters, dark rides, carousels, water rides and more, has announced the successful launch of a second family launch coaster at Canada’s Wonderland in Ontario. This new ride from the firm, called Snoopy’s Racing Railway, features a 245-metre-long track and reaches speeds of 50 kilometres per hour.
Snoopy’s Racing Railway has been created to offer an exciting ride experience for both children and adults. It is open to children 90 centimetres/32 inches tall and above when accompanied by a parent or guardian.
Ride with Snoopy
On the final carriage of the coaster, riders are accompanied by a life-sized Snoopy figure, for an unforgettable ride experience with the much-loved Peanuts character. The layout of Snoopy‘s Racing Railway resembles a similar roller coaster at Fantasiana in Austria, which has proved very popular. Canada’s Wonderland opted to take this layout and combine it with the theme of Snoopy and his friends.
This is the second roller coaster that ART Engineering has delivered to Canada’s Wonderland, after Wonder Mountain’s Guardian.
