As we are discussing records Yukon Striker's top speed is a whopping one hundred and thirty kilometers per hour. If you forget the metric conversion that works out to a top speed of eighty-one miles per hour which is wickedly fast for any coaster.

It is such a wonderful experience hanging there with the world hanging there above your head and nothing but blue sky and white clouds beneath your feet.

Moments hanging here between heaven and Earth are some of my favorites. They are times when I can let go of all of the things I have to for work, family and life and just enjoy the beating of my heart, the wind through what hair I have and the sun on my face.

Rolling out of the Immelmann in the opposite direction that it entered Yukon Striker heads back across the lake.

Canada's Wonderland; with the iconic Wonder Mountain as a centerpiece of the park, lush landscaping and a great collection of rides is such a gorgeous and peaceful park despite being in the middle of a metro area with six and a half million people.
