4 d. ago Canada's Wonderland introducing strict new policy starting later this month

Compared to recent seasons, summer 2025 could be considered pretty light in terms of problematic incidents at Canada's Wonderland. Even so, park staff still had to deal with their fair share of troublemakers who tampered with rides and caused all sorts of other issues at the GTA attraction over the last few months.In light of a surge in such incidents at both the Vaughan, Ontario site and across the amusement industry — as well as, perhaps, the terrifying rise in serious crimes perpetrated by teens in general — park management has decided to implement a new policy specifically targeting young people.Ahead of its busy annual Halloween event that kicks off at the end of the month, Wonderland has updated its conduct policy to include a new chaperone rule.Under the new guideline, all entrants aged 15 and under must be accompanied by an adult aged 21 or older after 6 p.m. — and yes, IDs will be checked.
