BC morning hosts dare to ride new 'ThunderVolt' rollercoaster at Playland amusement park
To test their bravery, the Global News Morning team in British Columbia dared to ride Playland’s newest roller-coaster, the 'Thundervolt.'
The ride is Canada’s fastest electric launch coaster, according to the amusement park.
The $9-million coaster has more than 1,200 feet of track and rises and drops from more than six storeys.
Who do you think screamed the loudest?

Someone screaming in your ear for the whole ride kinda takes the fun out of it 😅
I want these hosts to try Velocicoaster 😂
First launch coaster in Canada? Backlot stunt coaster at Canadas Wonderland is a launch coaster, been there for years

Maybe they meant first one at Playland
Wonderland already has 2 launch coasters… this is not the first.

Right? Backlot has been around for a while now, and Wonderland just debuted Snoopy's Racing Railway last year.
This is the journalism we all need. Thanks for getting out there and doing that!
it's not the first launch coaster in canada........italian job/Backlot Stunt Coaster is the first.
Congratulations, team! I'm happy you enjoyed the Thundervolt too! Last week, I went on it and I was pleasantly surprised by the experience. Every time I rode it, all of us would clap and congratulate the operators for keeping us safe and giving us an exhilarating experience. I highly recommend riding the Thundervolt if you visit Playland this summer, perhaps as the first ride since the lines tend to get long quickly.
Lmao how did the guy think it was 80 meters high when its only 18 hahah
Canada is adorable...

Should go to 6flags and try the superman or something.. Thats a rollercoaster!
top speed 72 km/h....The US has the man of steel that goes up to 73 Miles per hour 😴
This ride will have the record for the fastest launch coaster in Canada for like a few months 💀 Canadas wonderland will take the record back in 2025.
Canadas new coaster.
How does the VP of the park make the mistake of calling this the first launch coaster in Canada? Pathetic
I guess they haven't been to Canada's Wonderland in Vaughan, Ontario
Sorry to break it to you, Shauna, but that script won’t last long at all. On 8/8/24, the record comes back to the 6 where it belongs!
😂😂😂
70 km/hr is pretty SLOW for a launch coaster. The fastest in the world goes 240 km/hr. This is child's play. They replaced a crappy coaster with an even worse one.
Noobs
