Description

Time Warp is a flying roller coaster operating at Canada's Wonderland. It opened on May 2, 2004. Its theme featured the 2003 Paramount Pictures film Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life.Ride layout and experienceThe ride commences by loading passengers into a 4-person car and rotating the cars facing the ground. The vehicles proceed with a horizontal lift and push forward so that it engages with the rotating lift mechanism. The vehicles ascend into a spiral lift that gives riders a 360-degree view of their surroundings.Once vehicles reach the top, they dive down and accelerate before making a quick turn to the left and into the first in-line twist. The ride turns to the right and into the first set of block brakes that slows the vehicles before another making a small dip downward and another right turn into the second in-line twist. After a quick turn to the left, the vehicles passes into the second set of brakes and then makes another diving left turn. There are a few quick turns until the vehicles return to the station. Once the riders are lowered to the standing position, the restraints are unlocked and vehicles are unloaded.Special effectsWhen the ride opened in 2004, the ride's entrance queue featured theming and special effects to resemble an ancient tomb. The entrance sign was mounted onto bamboo sticks and stone columns with propane torches. Next to the entrance was a tent which resembles Lara Croft's base with two motorcycles. Beyond the entrance were Chinese stone soldiers and a stone wall with images resembling deities found in ancient Buddhist and Hindu artworks. The queue and exit were guided by rope fences. Bat sounds looped while riders waited in the station.
