Day 29 - Scarborough

Waking up as early as we could manage we made it to Canada's Wonderland by 9:45am, 15 minutes before they opened. Though there were already some people there, obviously a little more hardcore than we were, we managed to get in right at 10am and went straight for the rides. The weather was perfect in the morning, great sun and really nice out. At about 2 pm the thundershowers kicked in and it poured rain. While everybody ran for cover and the kiosks selling ponchos, we ran for the water rides, we were already soaking wet anyways. After about 3 hours of rain, a lot of people had given up for the day and went home. Meanwhile we were rewarded for sticking out the storm with much shorter lines for the rest of the day. We stayed there all they way until they closed at 10pm and rode every single ride in the park at least once, many twice. It was an excellent day at the park and all the rides were great. I've definitely been converted to a huge roller coaster fan now. 12 hours on your feet riding coasters is a long day for anyone, looking forward to a good night sleep and some camping tomorrow.

We've spent so many hours relaxing out here
