Canada's Wonderland Travelouge!

   As soon as you walk through the front gate at Paramount Canada's Wonderland, you know you're going to have a great day. The sun is shining, the smell of funnel cake fills the air, and the atmosphere is as energetic as can be. While, I'm walking around, trying to deside which ride to go on, I see the ultimate roller coaster, Top Gun. Top Gun is Canada’s only inverted looping jet coaster. This mega coaster can (and does) reach speeds of 90 kilometers an hour. It has 90-degree vertical climbs, barrel rolls, inverted wing loopovers, a 270-degree after burn and a complete snap roll over. This roller coaster is supposed to simulate flight, and beleve me, it does. After going on Top Gun, you probably want to go on something gental, so I go on Drop Zone. Drop zone is my favorite ride. You go up 23 stories into the air and you have about 10 seconds to take in the beautiful view before you are droped at speeds of over 100 km/h. Since it was a quiet day, and there was almost no line for the ride, I went on it 7 times, each time more exelitering than the next. After going on the rides, I went to the nearest Pizza Pizza stand to get a mouth-watering slice of cheese pizza. Since, I was feeling hot, I went to the water park to cool down. I went on Baracuda Blaster, a waterslide where you zip down a high-speed pipe fume then you get flushed into the lazy river. Then I went from the lazy river to the wave pool. I went to the back of the pool where I just floated until I washing up at the front of the pool where the waves were the biggest. Next, I went of the Black Hole. The Black Hole is a four storey water slide in which you are riding a tube through a dark pipe fume. Twisting and turning, you never know where you are going to go next, until you end up at the bottom. After going on the Black Hole, I decided to stand on the bridge over Timberwolf Falls. Timberwolf Falls is a log fume where you are going up a hill and coming down with water spraying every which way. When you are standing on the bridge and the water is coming at you, it feels like everything is happening in slow motion until its over. After getting of the bridge, I walked to White Water Canyon since it was close to Timberwolf Falls. White Water Canyon is basicaly white water rafting. At first the rid is nice and gental but then you hear the sound of splashing water and once you turn the blind corner, you know you're in for a ride. Your tube is turning every which way until you get to the bottom. At the bottom you think you're done but wait, you can still hear the sound of water up ahead and then you realize... it's a Waterfall! Going under the Waterfall is like being in a room surrounded with a bunch of little kids who are making lots of noise and dumping water on you at the same time. After getting off the ride and hitting the change room, I decide to call it a day. I meet up with my Mom and the front gate and we drive home. I'm going to have a great sleep tonight.
