On April 26 of 2008, I took a trip down to Canada's Wonderland with a friend, this, is my review. To start off, we rode Thunder Run... Yuck! In my opinion is ride is about as fun as riding your bicycle down a hill, fun when your little, but its like watching paint dry after you've done it. 5/10 Next off, we rode Klockwerks, this ride is actually better than Thunder Run, I love the wind in your hair your experience on this ride, but for me just doesn't cut it. 5/10 My friend was dragging me on lame rides, finally, we got to ride something mildly exciting. This was The Fly, I actually really like WM coasters, not a big fan of Mack but this ride really stands out, the hairpins on this ride are amazing. ![]() 8/10 Next we headed to Vortex and found it was broken down, so, we went to go ride Silver Streak, this ride is painfully slow. And those 2 hours or so were ever so painful. Finally, one of my favorite rides, a lot of people actually hate this ride but I really enjoy it. Time Warp (aka Tomb Raider) is actually a really good ride. I do not enjoy the comfort level on this ride, but the experience is pretty amazing. Overall, Wonderland should've put a B&M flyer in. But this one will do. 9/10 We then headed over to The Rage, it was okay. Nuff said. 6/10 After this, we decided to go on DragonFire, love this ride, although the corkscrews are awfully painful. The loops are good fun and I recommend this as a beginner looper. We rode it about 3 times. My friend fought his fears on this ride and went upside down, he now loves the inverts. 10/10 Finally, some flat rides going on! I went on Shockwave by myself, my friend did not want to ride. I really love the hangtime and the footchoppers on this ride, but the OTSRs are a little bulky. One gondola was not operating and that slowed the line down a little bit, but I happend to get in line before a storm of people came in, I was lucky. 10/10 We then headed to Wild Beast, I love the airtime on this ride, and the seats are quite comfy. This was my personal favorite Woody. 10/10 After this, we had lunch at some diner, I forget what it is called, so I will not be reviewing it. After this, we went to check if Vortex was operating, nothing, so we headed over to see about Back Lot Stunt Coaster, the line was enormous! Avoid this ride at all times if a long line is in place, its not worth the wait! After we headed to Minebuster, this ride is a little bit ruff, on the neck and the ears, whoever decided to put a tunnel on the helix of this thing must of been deaf. After this, we headed over to Back Lot Stunt coaster, the line had died oodles. This ride doesn't have enough speed for me, or enough tricks, sorry Premier, this ride sucks! Finally, I dragged my friend onto Behemoth, this was a great ride! The restraints are comfy, the seats are comfy, the air time is amazing! That tingly feeling in my stomach was finally tingling again!! After a full day of Boring or mildly exciting rides, this did it for me. This is my favorite ride of all time. The line may look long, but it goes by fast, really fast, the Que was half full and we got on in about 10 minutes. This ride was also very smooth. 11/10 After this, we headed over to Time Warp again, then we decided to try Flight Deck as we had never been on before because of past lineups. The line was not a line, we walked on. I like the drop on this coaster, but the rest of it. Bleh, I didn't know what was were. The experience was something like this... "POLE! GRASS! TRACK! GRASS! SKY!" It was very shaky and hard on the ears. It was better than Klockwerks though!! :P 7/10 Then we went on the Behemoth again, it was awesome and we met up with some Wonderland friends, we had met them last year at the same event, and again met them in the que this day. Did I mention after the first time we got on it broke down and a train was stuck at the top for 20 minutes? I heard it was some kind of power failure, after all, the computer shuts down at any slight loss of power. Then we finally got on Vortex, as did my friends mother and grandmother. They wanted to kill us when the ride operator took us around FOUR TIMES because there was no-one in line. ![]() Then we headed to a Kelsey's in Vaughn and ate, it was good. ![]() This was a good Wonderland trip, way better than last year when I couldn't get the kid on ANYTHING that went past 45 MPH. Hehe. ![]() Overall, it was great. 9/10 Getting on Behemoth tied it all up for me! Also, I took the liberty of linking all of these rides to the DB. Yw.

My god, you just zig zag across the park. Seems like it would kill a lot of time walking from one side to the park to the other and back again. then again, bank days are usually dead (I went a few times on Bank day because my step-dad was invited for media days on the same days)

I liked how you linked to the different ride accounts in our database. I don't get to read many TR's on CW. Thanks for sharing. It wasn't until this year that I learned of The Fly and Wild Beast. That's sad that Flight Deck is in the same company as Behemoth. Behemoth deserves a better inverted coaster buddy.

And yes, we did kind of zig-zag. More-so at the beginning of the day than the end.

Oh man, the park sounds way different from the last time I was there. (Drop Zone was the newest ride, I think!) I'd love to go back and check it out Behemoth sounds excellent! |

^ Oh it is. And Drop Zone? Wow, 1997 was a long time ago, there have been many great additions to the park (like Shockwave and Time Warp). You should come check it out.
