Silver Streak
Silver Streak is a small inverted rollercoaster at Canada's Wonderland targeted at children and their families.
The ride is a Vekoma Suspended Family Coaster, a junior (and much more comfortable!) version of the company's Suspended Looping Coaster product which can be seen at Canada's Wonderland as Flight Deck.
Silver Streak doesn't have any inversions, and has a fairly mild track layout making it suitable for kids.
Unfortunately it also isn't themed, which makes it rather more boring than some other Suspended Family Coasters which prove just how much extra some decent theming can give to a mild rollercoaster - take, for example, the only slightly larger Flight of the Pterosaur at the UK's Paultons Park which weaves in and out of a mountain rockface.
Still, Silver Streak gives a nice if slightly boring ride, and is a great children's coaster which at least shows the park has more imagination than sticking in yet another wacky worm!
