Entry FeedSaturday was Husband's 38th birthday.
I wanted us to do something fun, and since the kids were committed to visiting grandparents for the weekend, I suggested Paramount Canada's Wonderland. When I was a teen, it was just, "WONDERLAND." When did it become such a mouthful?
We arrived at Wonderland, and learned that if we bought 2011 Season's Passes for $59.99 plus HST, then we would get in for FREE that day (not until the end of the season, which I thought was the offer last time we purchased late in the season).
I've always loved roller coasters, and driving up and down the 400 I knew that I was going to try the Behemoth.
The first ride we went on was Flight Deck. This was also the LONGEST line up that day in the park. HATED IT! My ears got bashed around so much, that the sign recommending that you removed your earrings actually made sense, DUH!
The next ride was the Sledge Hammer. Here we saw a guy in line get taken out by a flying iphone. Yep, came flying right out of someone's pocket on the ride, hit him in the eye, and he went down and stayed down. OUCH!
Next was the Behemoth. LOVED IT! Scared because you actually don't feel like you are being held in at all. Plus the cars and coaster look to me like something that may have been designed by Dr. Suess. I don't recommend this ride for my kids - yet.
Husband really wanted to try that one near the entrance where they hoist you up and you sort of fly - sort of like a bungee jump swing thing. Birthday or not, I really, really couldn't talk myself into it.
He insisted on the DropZone. The only good things about that ride are the short line, and that it only lasts 4 seconds. Four seconds of sheer terror, but still only four seconds.
Finally, we shared a funnel cake; this was the first one ever for both of us.
Getting tired, we decided to ride the Behemoth one more time (yes, after the funnel cake). They were calling for thunderstorms so they said that certain rides and attractions would be shut down. Funnily enough, the Behemoth, at 230 feet likely in my mind the first thing to be struck by lightening, was not shut down.
It was a great date, but we were so exhausted that Husband feel asleep half way through the movie we rented, "the men who stare at goats."
Happy Birthday Sweetheart! Love ya.
