Canada’s Wonderland says its 2026 season will begin May 3, with Flight Deck set to become The DareDeviler early this summer.
According to the park’s official 2026 season preview, the inverted coaster previously operated as Top Gun before later becoming Flight Deck. Canada’s Wonderland says the ride is being reimagined around the daring spirit of early aviation and the storytelling of the Grande World Expo.
