Canada's Wonderland, Vaughn, Ontario, Canada

Just looking at Leviathan gets my heart racing.

The Thunder Run roller coaster at Canada's Wonderland, Vaughn, Ontario, Canada

Leviathan is the tallest and fastest coaster in Canada and at least in my eyes it is the best coaster in the country.

Leviathan has everything I need in a coaster. It has speed, a twisted layout and plenty of airtime. I could easily camp out on it all day long.

The Bat on the other hand I would not camp out on it. It looks pretty with the setting sun behind it though.

We ended up making it back over to Yukon Striker fifteen minutes left before Canada's Wonderland closed. We rode with a boy and his mother. He was just barely tall enough to ride and was pretty scared for his first ride. We talked him through it and half the way down the drop he opened his eyes and let out such a fantastic yell. He was all "YEAHHHHHHHHHH" all the way around the 1,105 meters of Yukon Striker. When we pulled into the station Paul and I hopped off and started to run around to get one more ride. Half the way down the ramp the boys mother screamed after us "Wait up we are coming". It was good seeing a new enthusiast being born.

Yukon Striker is insane fun, full of thrills and is the best dive coaster that I've been on...but I have only been on two of them. Still it is a fantastic addition to Canada's Wonderland and gives me another reason to get up to Toronto.

Two hours at Canada's Wonderland with three laps on Yukon Striker, one on Vortex, one on Thunder Run and one on Leviathan with one of my best friends is not a bad way to spend an evening in Canada.

Sadly it is going to be such a long time before I get to hang with Paul again. After this evening I flew back to IL the next day and then 12 hours after getting home I was off on another plane to California to hit parks from San Francisco to San Diego and yes I would see Paul at the American Coaster Enthusiasts Coaster Con at Six Flags Magic Mountain and Knott's Berry Farm. Those pictures and eight other parks from that trip are going to be coming soon.
