The next day we started out at Skyline Park, not far from Munich. The park has a solid variety of coasters and a decent collection of other offerings in a charming setting. As our first park of the trip, it was a nice warmup for the more involved days ahead. We had exclusive ride time on Sky Dragster before the park opened. With only a few two-seater bikes in circulation, this was a great benefit to prevent us from waiting in lines once the park welcomed other guests. Sky Dragster was the first Maurer Rides Spike Coaster, a powered, semi-manually controlled coaster system that has been built in a few parks on land and even on several cruise ships. It was my first time riding one, and while kind of neat, I found it to be a little less thrilling that I would have expected, and the top speeds you could reach still felt like you were crawling through the layout at times. Skyline Park has a decent number of tall attractions on its... Skyline. This might have been a mistake for me to ride... It might've been. Sky Wheel was another first for me from Maurer Rides. The experience is a combination of hang-time, terror, laughs and "kerchunks." Berg- und Tal Hetz was the park's newest coaster from SBF Visa Group... And if you know anything about SBF, you know these coasters can pack a punch. Sky Rafting (sense a theme in the naming convention?) is a sizable water rafting attraction that should look familiar to old Six Flags attractions... Apres Ski Party was a neat fairground funhouse parked permanently at Skyline Park. The moose out front should've told ya it was fun! And a good time was had. Flotter Otto exists. Huepfburg is a bouncy play area set in the shadow of Sky Wheel. Geisterbahn was the first ghost train I experienced on this trip. This ride's main character starts out with no hands... Strange things ensue. And by the end of the ride he has hands. Sky Twister is another classic flat ride. Sky Wheel is visible from most parts of the park. "It's Coca-Cola but frozen!" No coaster left unridden here. Allgäuflieger is the park's starflyer and it is the tallest attraction in its lineup. Flammkuchen and beer for lunch? Yes please! They had a self-operated carousel and it simply had to be experienced. Wildwasserbahn is a surprisingly large log flume. It was a little too cold for my riding during our visit but those in our group that did try it really enjoyed it. Science ride! The queue for Zero Gravity was almost as experiential as the ride! Zero Gravity is a modern take on a Rotor, but with a translucent structure and unique show lighting. It was quite a good time! Most of the park's self-operated attractions had been removed over the last few years but this swing ride still exists. And it is quite fun. Why pay for ropes courses at home when Sky Walk at Skyline Park is included in the park admission? After our time at Skyline Park, we stopped at the grocery store near our hotel. I was surprised to find some familiar brands like those I find at home... A taste of the Germany of EPCOT... But in Germany. Just a normal sight in Germany during Oktoberfest. Back to Oktoberfest we went! Predator was one of those super-daunting flat rides that I committed to riding before the end of our time at Oktoberfest... I'll never discount a traveling drop tower when it comes to bringing the thrills. You know the rule. A hidden gem of food that we found at the fair grounds was this awesome pasta stand that prepared your fresh pasta, tossed in sauce and scraping out the cheese from inside of a hollowed out cheese wheel... This would be the first of several truffle oil pastas for us! It was a quick visit, but a good one. More fun would follow on the next day... With it being the weekend, crowds were significantly more than what we experienced last night, so it was an eat-and-walk night (save for that one ride on Olympia Looping) before calling it an early night… -

Toronto had a really straight forward public transportation system between the street cars and subway. The city was very easy to navigate. We enjoyed our stay. Make sure you have international phone service. We found out we didn't when we crossed the border, so we had to buy a cheap burner at a Walmart. 😆 -

Spring is probably the best time. The park gets really stupidly busy in the summer. Toronto weather is usually nice then. Summer can get hot and humid. Check the schedule for splashworks waterpark. It may be open weekends from the may 24 long weekend. They have a fish and chips place in the waterpark area that is pretty decent. You may be able to get a hotel deal in the shoulder season. Check out the harbourfront area. There is lots to do in toronto. Take the ferryboat to the island if you get the chance. You can rent a bike or rollerblades there. It also has a frisbee golf course. There are also walking and bike paths along the waterfront that are really nice. if you want a tour of the city get on a streetcar on either king or queen streets.you can see a lot and it is a nice way of getting around. Toronto is a city of many neighbourhoods and each has their own unique feel. you could do the while trip without a car if you wanted to. You can take a train downtown from the airport and take the subway to wonderland. There is a short bus ride from the last station. Feel free to reach out directly if you want more suggestions. -

Should be good to go on a summer weekday with a Fastlane though. -
As a regular to the park, I would suggest visiting in May or June as school is still in around here, making the park not too busy. If you cannot visit in May or June, then I would suggest visiting the middle of the week (Tuesday or Wednesday) in July or August as they tend to be the least busiest days of the week during the summer months. 🙂 -

Question for the locals. When is the best time to visit this park? Canada's Wonderland is one of the last major parks in North America I have yet to visit, and with AlpenFury coming this year it is very high on my priority list to get to Toronto. I know this park gets VERY crowded too. Of course a weekday is likely better than the weekend, I imagine, but what about month? And considering weather too? We would likely plan at least 2 full days at the park with FastLane and probably another day in the city to explore Toronto. Any tips would be appreciated! This new coaster looks awesome. -

That's a very conflicted article. -
I forgot to say that Screamsçape is reporting the SFA is getting new trains for their Intamin hyper. Could they ship their current trains to SFDL or could SF have ordered new trains for us too? -
