Canada's Wonderland opened in 1981, owned by the same company that developed Kings Island and Kings Dominion. Now a Six Flags park, it passed from Taft Broadcasting Company/Kings Entertainment Company to National Amusements/Paramount Parks to Cedar Fair along the way. With more than 3.2 million visitors last year, it is Canada's most visited theme park and one of the top 20 most visited parks in North America.
