According to police, the vehicle was clocked going 183km/hr in St. Catharines on January 4, 2021.
Meanwhile, the Canada's Wonderland coaster, which made its debut in April 2019, only reaches a max speed of 130km/hr.
According to the theme park, this ride is the "world's longest, tallest and fastest dive roller coaster."
The OPP's Highway Division says the incident resulted in a 7-day licence suspension and vehicle impoundment.

This isn't the first time a driver has clocked high speeds. Back in November, another car was caught travelling as fast as a plane on the 403.
