Shockwave, Spinning thrill ride at Canada's Wonderland, Ontario, Canada

Shockwave is a spinning ride at Canada's Wonderland featuring 30 seats arranged in six rows that lift passengers high while rotating in multiple directions. The contraption moves forwards, backwards, and sideways to create an intense experience.

The ride was built by Dutch manufacturer Mondial and opened in 2001. It has been among the park's most thrilling attractions since its debut.

The placement of Shockwave in the International Festival section of Canada's Wonderland represents the park's commitment to diverse entertainment offerings.

Visitors must be at least 137 cm tall to ride this attraction. Access is straightforward from the main pathways of the park.

The ride structure incorporates specialized balancing weights and generates forces between negative three and positive four G during its operation.
