Wondercoaster Building Contest

Wondercoaster Building Contest
May 8, 2026
Step right up to Canada’s Wonderland, where the future engineers come together for a roller coaster extravaganza that'll leave you on the edge of your seat! Picture this: a day filled with laughter, thrills, and the coolest physics experiments you've ever seen.
Our one-of-a-kind event transforms Canada’s Wonderland into a hub of innovation and creativity, as students showcase their mind-blowing roller coaster designs. It's not just a contest; it's a wild ride through the world of physics!
Hands-on learning has never been this thrilling. From designing gravity-driven rides to mastering the art of potential and kinetic energy, these students are turning their classrooms into roller coaster labs.
Our WonderCoaster Building Contest is a spectacle like no other, where awards and prizes rain down in categories like technical merit and the coveted "Most Fun to Ride." We're not just growing roller coasters; we're growing young minds. See our rules and regulations list.
Get ready for an educational journey that's anything but ordinary. Mark your calendar, bring your sense of adventure, and join us for a day that'll make you scream with excitement – in the best way possible!
