Canada's Wonderland

I can't think of a better way to end the summer then a trip to Canada's Wonderland. We had been trying to find a time all summer that would work for a bunch of us to go and the only time was a weekend in September. The weather was cool but it was still a great day.


There were 8 of us that went. Four came from the Sudbury area and four from Kingston. We left Kingston at 6:30a.m and made great time. We got there about 45min before the park opened. Our Sudbury companions were running a little late so we decided to hit up a few rides while we were waiting for them. The first ride we decided to go on was there newest and biggest roller-coaster Behemoth.



It was a great way to start the day. Then we hopped on a couple smaller rides with short lines. On Sledge Hammer I was able to hold my camera and take a couple pictures of my friends sitting across from me.



When we got the word that our Sudbury crew had arrived we headed back to the entrance to meet them. While we were waiting to meet them we stumbled open a new friend :)

SNOOPY!

You might be wondering about the cheerful backdrop of this picture. Not your usually snoopy setting. But Every year in October Canada's Wonderland transforms their park into a Haunted theme park and they keep the park open late on weekends for a fun and frightening Wonderland experience.



After our crew was together we decided to head back to Behemoth so the others could ride it. One of the great things about the big roller-coasters is they take your photo while you are riding it. Since some of us had already ridden it we knew just where the camera's were so we made the most of it!



I just had to buy this photo because so many of our group was in it. (Top Left - Emily, Top Right - Al, Middle Left - Julie, Middle Right - Me, Bottom Left - Liz and Bottom Right - Jenn)

We then went on to ride a bunch of more rides. Part of the day our group broke off a bit to go to different parts of the park but for one ride we had to re-group and ride together.

Jet Scream
Why this ride you might ask? Well my friend Emily has trouble with this ride. She loves going on it but at the point that you are upside down she has this uncontrollable scream. Yes lots of people scream on rides but this scream is different. She can't control it even if she tires and it is one of the loudest, shrill screams I have ever heard and it makes me laugh every time.

It was a great day full of new and old friends, laughs, screams and great rides!
