Could this be why you didn't feel too great that day Erik?

NO! While better than Son of Beast, The Wild Beast is very close to the bottom of my list. I actually was not feeling that great even before The Time Warp, but it certainly did not help my condition. Thanks for posting that picture.

:lmao:

^ Hence the wink. ;)

We knew we were in trouble when it started to walk up the lift hill. That was probably the worst ride I've had on it yet that day.

^ Agreed! Wild Beast is now much worse than Minebuster ever was. I have absolutely no need to ever ride the wooden coasters at Wonderland again, unless I hear of some serious improvements.

I would LOVE to watch Wild Beast burn to the ground and get replaced by a GCI!

In other news...I love the combination of photos and videos! Great update Erik! Was nice getting to see you again as well.

Here is the video from Canada's Wonderland. Well, its mostly a combination of Behemoth/a few random coaster bits/RipTide and the Top Scan at night. Have fun!

Nice video Erik! I feel wet again just watching that clip of Riptide. The second pass through the water curtain knocked the wind out of me from the cold blast.

Ok let us head onward to Marineland, which is the home of Dragon Mountain! Dragon Mountain is the legendary custom Arrow terrain looper that was built for the park 25 years ago. Even to this day, the ride's theming is still in a work of progress state. They finally had the budget to finish the volcano a couple of years ago.

Mmmmmmmm, Waldameer Park. This for me was my favorite park of the tour. We had the most amazing/legendary ERT session on Ravine Flyer II that evening. The coaster certainly made my top 5 of my woodie list. While my late afternoon ride on it was quite good, nothing tops riding it in pitch blackness with pouring rain and thunder. I really enjoyed the rest of the park as well, especially the Wacky Shack. Sorry for a real lack of photos in this section, I was just having too much fun that I forgot to take many pictures. Hopefully the 2 minute video helps a little for this oversight.

:)

EDIT: I just added a version to download in case you have trouble watching the video.

We were all able to earn the Ravine Flyer 3 credit. I think it might be the only coaster completely built over water. This includes the station.

The coaster was awesome, but we all got really wet during ERT. Yes this counted as my, "Dan Gets Wet" Bingo Square.
