This is really cool, I always wanted to go on a ride with a Roller Coaster which is at least so big, in my country currently doesn't exist such big ones and I don't really understand why, but anyway everyone has to go to Germany or France to try something like this

lol, or go to North America XD. I love roller coasters. Hell, that's also why I'm always antsy to go to work, because I work at Canada's Wonderland XD (too bad summer is about to end, which sucks for this reason).

I love roller coasters. The first one I ever went on was at Coney Island in New York, and I was scared stiff (the roller coaster track was wooden and old and creaky). I plan on visiting Canada some time in 2008. If construction is done according to schedule, then I might pay a visit to that one. The roller coaster seems to be orange and blue- Florida Gator colours! Go Gators! heh heh


Second thought. Do I really want to try out a new roller coaster? What if there are glitches or bugs that haven't been fixed as yet. But I guess the chances of someone dying on a roller coaster are less than dying in a car accident..

True, coaster is due in May 2008 and it already has successful cousins in the US and at La Ronde in Montreal. So it shouldn't have any problems. Plus, throughout its 26 years of operation. There has never been an accident relating to a ride at Canada's Wonderland.

Canada's wonderland is pretty safe from what I know go almost every year and so far no accidents so lets hope for another safe and fun summer!
