One of the most beautiful pictures I took on the entire Roller Coaster Road Trip was the one above, from the parking lot at Canada's Wonderland in Vaughan, Ontario, Canada. It was towards the end of our last day, one ultimate day of roller coaster riding, and it was the perfect scene to end our wonderful journey.
I'd always wanted to visit Canada's Wonderland and I never thought I would until this trip was being planned. The park is a Cedar Fair property, owned by the same company that owns both Cedar Point and King's Island, so we knew it was going to be both a well-run and a beautiful park, which it was. Upon entering, the scene is much like that at King's Island and Virginia's King's Dominion, but instead of a replica of the Eiffel Tower towards the end of the entrance promenade, there is a mountain with cascading waterfalls. Beautiful!
The Roller Coasters
Compared with the previous two parks we had visited, the coasters of Canada's Wonderland were nowhere near as exciting, though there were two that were absolutely fantastic, Leviathan and Behemoth...
Leviathan is what is known as a giga-coaster, like Millennium Force in Cedar Point, meaning that it reaches a maximum height of over 300 feet tall (This one's 306.). It is by far the best ride in Canada's Wonderland, and we rode this monster several times. Take a virtual ride yourself...
That one was wicked, and the video does not do it justice! Behemoth is the park's other awesome ride, located clear across the park from Leviathan. This one's a mega-coaster, like Magnum XL-200, Nitro at SFGA, and like those other two, it is nothing but negative G fun! Take a virtual ride...
I wish I could say there was a whole lot more to cover of Canada's Wonderland. It is a beautiful place, and we had an awesome time on a beautiful sunny day. It was the end of the trip and I think we all were a little weary from eight days of seemingly non-stop moving. Nonetheless, if you're ever up in the Toronto area, Canada's Wonderland, then you should definitely check it out. In the meantime, take a look at some photos of our day at Canada's Wonderland...

After our day at the park, we dove back into Toronto for one last meal together. We were exhausted, but blissful. This Roller Coaster Road Trip was a great one, and I can't wait until the next time! Oh, and there was one more cool thing that we did before heading home, stopping again in Buffalo to have a visit with my old pal Petra.
I hope you've enjoyed some of the pictures and stories from our journey. Check out the rest below and till next time...
