The ride is considered to be a original at Canada's Wonderland as it opened along with the rest of the park in 1981.<ref name=NMcanadaswonderland /> This ride is also extremely similar to [[Orbiter (ride)|Orbiter]] which is also at Canada's Wonderland. == History == When the ride first opened on May 23, 1981, its name was '''Wild Nightmares'''. In 1998, the rides name was changed what is known as today, "Night Mares". The exact reason(s) why the name of the ride was changed is not known.<ref name=NMcanadaswonderland>{{cite web|url=http://www.canadaswonderland.com/rides/Thrill-Rides/Night-Mares |title=Night Mares |publisher=Canada's Wonderland |accessdate=April 9, 2012}}</ref> == Structure == Night Mares is mainly made up of 4 different parts. The first part is the grey "arm" which supports the entire ride whether it is in operation or not. The second part is the centre red and balck "wheel" which is attached to the "arm". The wheel also supports the structure of the ride. The third part(s) is / are the number of black metal supports that support the 12 carriages where riders sit. The fourth and final part are the carriages themselves. This is where the riders stand when the ride is in operation.<ref name=nmpov /> ==Ride experience== Riders take a seat in one (1) of twelve (12) carriages laid out to form a perfect circle around the base of the ride. Each carriage holds four (4) people. There is no seat belt or restraint system on the ride, only a cage to hold on to while the ride is in motion. As the ride reaches full speed, gravity keeps the riders in place even when the ride is on a 90-degree angle. It takes about 16 seconds for the ride to reach full speed before "launching" of the ground and takes just over 30 seconds to get into a vertical position (90-degree angle). The ride remains in the vertical position for about 10 - 15 seconds before returning back down into the loading (horizontal) position.<ref name=nmpov>{{cite web|url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OT5RLCWJaQE&feature=related |title=Night Mares at Canada's Wonderland POV |publisher=samikmallik (YouTube) |date=August 2, 2010 |accessdate= April 8, 2012}}</ref> ==See also== * [[Orbiter (ride)|Orbiter]], a [[HUSS Park Attractions|HUSS]] [[Enterprise (ride)|Skylab]] which is also located at [[Canada's Wonderland]] and almost has the same ride concept as Night Mares. ==References== {{Reflist}} ==External links== * [http://www.canadaswonderland.com/rides/Thrill-Rides/Night-Mares Official ''Night Mares'' page] {{Wonderland}} [[Category:Cedar Fair Entertainment Company rides]] [[Category:Amusement rides manufactured by HUSS Park Attractions]] [[Category:Amusement rides introduced in 1981]]'
