Wonderland

Hi All! 

Whilst in Canada, we paid a visit to Canada's Wonderland. I'm told it's the Canadian version of Alton Towers but I can't really tell you if that's true as I'm yet to visit Alton Towers. However, Wonderland was FUN! 

It's an amusement park filled with awesome rides, food places and games. If you like big rides - you'll love it. The park also has a water park which looked AWESOME! Unfortunately we didn't really go fully equipped with our swimming gear so we decided to just walk past the water park. It did look like fun - there were massive slides, people floating about and drifting to their hearts content. 

look at them...hanging!

It's the kind of place that has something for everyone - small and big kids alike. The first ride we went on was a log like ride that spun round and underneath it, there was a small lake. So whilst we were in the line for the ride, we saw that people were getting a little wet, not soaked. So we stayed in the line - a little wet is fine. Little did we know that sitting at the end of the log meant that everything including my pants would be soaked. FYI: if you're Canadian and reading this, when I say pants I meant panties - as in underwear not trousers. We were soaked. Everything. 

Luckily it was a hot day and so we dried off pretty fast as we went on other rides. I wish I had more photos of Wonderland but I was so busy screaming my lungs out on the rides that I didn't get a chance to snap many. It doesn't really help but I can still see it all so clearly in me head!!

Another thing I discovered whilst at Wonderland is that I can scream. Boy can I scream. Usually I'm the type of person that freezes up and stays quiet, but I screamed lots that day. I don't mind rides but I'm not too keen on going upside down - I have issues with gravity forcing me to be very out of me seat and clinging onto the handle bars *shudder*. 

In my last post I wrote about going zip-lining and I let me tell you, it was a walk in the park compared to what I did at Wonderland. I'm not kidding. It's because we did the Extreme Sky Flyer - kind of like a bungee jump - and it was AMAZING!!! Seriously, so much fun. I was very lucky because the lovely people I went with - shout out to my lovely family....Hiiii! - also came with me and so this made it so much more fun!!

Also, one last thing before I end this post, we ate this Funnel Cake - it was delicious!
