Timberwolf Falls, Water ride at Canada's Wonderland, Canada

Timberwolf Falls is a shoot-the-chute water ride at Canada's Wonderland in Vaughan, Ontario. Boats seat up to 20 riders and follow a basic oval course with a single drop. After a lift to the top, the boat turns 180 degrees and plunges, creating a wave that soaks riders and anyone on the Splash Zone bridge above the drop.

Timberwolf Falls opened in 1989 at Canada's Wonderland as a Shoot the Chute water ride. It has operated with the same basic oval layout and single drop since then, with a boat capacity of twenty riders.

The ride's name refers to the timber wolf, and its forest theme fits Canada's Wonderland's Canadian landscape concept. The exit route crosses the Splash Zone bridge, so every rider passes through the wave zone on foot after the drop.

Each boat seats twenty riders, and the exit route crosses the Splash Zone bridge, so everyone leaving the ride passes through the spray. A full cycle lasts about 2 minutes and 40 seconds. The wave is larger when the boat carries more weight, so a crowded boat soaks the bridge more thoroughly.

At the bottom of the ride sits a dedicated splash zone with a viewing bridge. Spectators can gather there to witness the wave created when boats descend.
