Wheeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!
That's the sound of me riding about 30 rollercoasters! Monday was yet another day off, and I spent it with six friends at Canada's Wonderland. When I told a friend that, she said, "Niagara falls?", but in actuality, it's the name of a Paramount amusement park about a half an hour outside of Toronto.
At 9:10am I met Anne, Emily, Greg, Sal, Adam, and Jason at some huge train station downtown where we rented two tiny cars that were some make of Toyota that I've never heard of. We got to the park a little after it opened, at ten, and the day started with a bang. The park is beautiful when you walk in, with a huge pond with a mountain at the far end of it. This is "International Street", which is basically a street full of Dairy Queens, Funnel Cakes, Pizza Pizzas, and shops. Love it. Apparently when the park was built a while ago, it was pretty lame. But, over the years they've added so many attractions that I've never seen anything like it! There were seriously more rides than in all of Disney World. We started on TopGun, then went to the TombRaider, then on to the Mighty Canadian Minebuster (the longest wooden rollercoaster in Canada). Immediately we jumped on the Italian Job Stunt Track, and then to the Skyrider. By this time I was going to puke, so we stopped for burgers and shakes.
After food I was still dying (but having fun), so I started taking the rollercoasters every other. We did the Vortex, Thunder Run, Wild Beast, Dragon Fire, Silver Streak, and the Ghoster Coaster. The last was my favorite, because it was in the kid's land and we were the only ones on it. We rode one to a car and had the best time ever! We also did Scooby-Doo's Haunted Mansion, The Bat, the Launch Pad, and many more. I've seriously never seen so many rides in my whole life!!! Luckily, the park was pretty empty, since we were early in the season, and we jumped right on to everything! The longest we waited for any ride was probably ten minutes!
The weather was perfect, sunny but breezy, and everyone was a blast to hang out with. We ended the day with Funnel Cakes and some chitchat, before we headed home and I discovered my burned forehead and wrists. Since then I've had to cover my watch tan with blush every night so I don't get in trouble - it's in my contract that I can't tan!!

Bets - it sounds like you are having a blast in one of my all-time favorite cities. Toronto IS like Chicago, except no guns and its cheaper to live there :-)
Looking forward to aseeing you perform soon! Love, DLADK
