Yesterday was a great day. I spent over 11 hours with 6 kids and a pal at Canada’s Wonderland. A place I adored as a teenager. The rides, the thrills. I was a full-fledged roller coaster junkie. And now, so are my kids. My nearly 9 year old son (3 more days!) would go on anything. No fear. He LOVED Behemoth – Canada’s fastest coaster with the largest vertical drop hitting 125km/h. My 5 1/2 year old would conquer anything her 44" would allow – Goaster Coaster, Silver Streak, Thunder Run.
Check out that first drop on Behemoth!
We walked and we walked. We stood – the line ups got pretty bad – and we stood. But we had the time of our lives! Although I am not quite the coaster junkie I once was – spinning or loops are out of the question – I still loved the classic Mighty Canadian Minebuster. I had a ton of fun watching my kids and their pals enjoy something I loved myself and seeing the huge smiles as they conquered another ride made the outrageous entrance and food costs all worth it.
I can’t wait to ride Behemoth with my kids! When we did Disneyworld this spring I was reminded of how much I love the adrenaline rush of a roller coaster. We had a particularly nasty day with the kids at Canada’s Wonderland about four years ago, but maybe it’s time to try again.
we spend at least one day every weekend at wonderland. haven’t done behemoth yet. but am excited for it. i don’t like loops…but i LOVE the drops.
Ahhh, Wonderland. Remember the concerts? I can still feel the excitement of waiting to be picked up by the ‘rents in a station wagon outside the gates after an Annie Lennox concert.
And the rides. The best! But I’m with you. Any spinning or loops are not going to happen! Glad you had a great day.
i’m excited to take my kids there – i have great memories from when i was a kid! we drove from new brunswick specifically for wonderland – a pilgrimage of sorts! right now, my little ones are content with Centreville:)
Brings back great memories!
