In 2014, the manufacturer supplied Wonder Mountain's Guardian to Canada's Wonderland in Vaughan, Ontario, an attraction that combined a roller coaster experience with an interactive dark ride.

[13] Primordial's storyline takes place in a fantastical kingdom whose day and night cycle is perpetuated by the mystical dragon Dragnor and owl Astradir.
When evil forces capture and imprison the two creatures in the Dolomite Mountains, a lynx known as Queen Azdra implores riders to free them in order to restore peace to the realm.
Disengaging from the loading conveyor, riders make a 165° right hand turn and climb the chain lift hill past a waterfall to a peak height of 85.3 feet (26.0 m).

A joint design between Lagoon and ART, riders board from the front of the car by means of a continuously moving conveyor belt.
Triotech engineered a new type of blaster to handle the sudden movements of the coaster, so the gun would have a flexible range of motion without being a safety hazard to its riders.
The entire attraction was fabricated in Utah, with the track produced by Intermountain Lift and support columns provided by Petersen, Inc. Triotech delivered the ride's interactive media, screen-based components, audio, and theming elements, as well as supplying the Queen Azdra lynx animatronic.
