About Thunder Run
Thunder Run is a powered roller coaster, themed after a runaway mine train, found at Canada's Wonderland, in Vaughan, Ontario, Canada. Rather than having a traditional chain lift hill, the train has an electric motor on board. The train flies directly into the Wonder Mountain, the artificial mountain that is a trademark of the park. Thunder Run wasn't the park's first powered coaster. When Canada's Wonderland opened in 1981, it had a powered coaster named Blauer Enzian. However, in 1985, the coaster shut down and would be relocated to Tykkimäki. After that, Mack Rides, the manufacturer of Blauer Enzian, would be contacted to build another powered coaster for Canada's Wonderland.
