Canada's Wonderland - 20/06/08

Today I decided to skip school and take a quick trip up to wonderland with a friend, it was a great decision! We went to get my SP processed, no lineups, saved us a lot of time. We lined up to enter, also a short line. After we got in, we headed to the Security tape by Flight Deck, we waited for about half an hour there until 10:00.

First we charged for Behemoth ( like everyone else ) when the security rope dropped, just to wait in line for 35 minutes and find out it was supposed to be broken down until 1:00. Eff that!

So we hopped out of the que and headed to Sledge Hammer, the line was about a 15 minute wait, and it was well worth it. The ride has some nice G's and Ejector Air, however, I found the restraints quite bulky for what they do.

After, we found Behemoth alive and well, also, it was open. So we headed into the que. We waited a good 30 minutes, not too long, the drop on Behemoth is always amazing, but I found the ride doesn't thrill me as much this time around. It's still my favourite coaster both at the park and in general, but its starting to seem old.

Next, being the losers we are, we went to White Water Canyon, this turned out to make us genius, the line was huge around noon, but WE basically just walked on. I always love this ride, its good fun and I don't mind getting a little bit wet.

We walked around for a good ten minutes trying to look for Timberwolf Fall's entrance, it turned out to be right in our faces, but we didn't know that. So we went for lunch.

The Pizza Pizza at wonderland is pretty good, we ordered a "Whole" pizza and some drinks, the small drinks are actually quite large and we got a decent value. During lunch although, we had to move several times due to Seagulls and wasps, in the first place we sat, there was a wasps nest under a rock, we evacuated the hell outta there! We then sat down by the falls to find Seagulls just LOVE to hang out there. So we finally noticed they had some empty seats in the Pizza Pizza patio, and we got a table and ate the rest. The pizza was very good.

I remembered that Timberwolf's entrance was right beside White Water's, and that we probably just missed it, so we decided to go there.

Timberwolf Fall's line was nothing, we walked on. The ride is... okay. We actually found you get wetter OFF the ride in the splash zone then you do ON the ride. I was the genius one (of course) and packed a disposable poncho, so I avoided getting uber-wet (Haa-zaa!).

Time for some wood! We sped to Mighty Canadian Minebuster, the line was a little long, and we had been on it before, however, we hadn't ever been on SkyRider, so we jumped out of line and lined up for that.

SkyRider provides a very unique experience with the stand up idea, the restraint system is quite complicated, me being a little stupid, I got my head stuck in between the arm restraints. >.<
I pulled my head out (Thank god) and got to rest my head on the headrest, yay for that. I found the ride a little bit shaky, but not nearly as bad as Flight Deck, Dragonfire, or The Bat.

We then headed for Behemoth again, but the line was effin PACKED. They had one of those portable ques set up.
So we decided to go on Sledge Hammer again.

Drop Tower time! The line was decent, but a little long for my taste, in waitings terms, it just kind of bugged me the line was so short yet the wait was long! The ride is short but sweet, pretty fun. Nice few of Toronto, can see the CN and Skydome. Kinda nice.

After Drop Tower, we headed to the front of the park to get some candy at Candy Apple, the prices are very decent there, if your going to get some sweets, avoid park owned stands, $4.00 FOR A SMALL PACK OF SWEDISH BERRIES?

Then the day was done. It was short but sweet. I may have left out a couple of rides or something, idk. :rollseyes:
And that was my day at CW!
