A Coasting for Kids 2012 Weekend!

^ That's the only location at the moment. It's at Yonge and St Clair (1450 Yonge Street, Toronto, ON M4T 1Y7 www.holychuckburgers.com/ ). It is well worth the trip to this place. It's a very close battle between Holy Chuck and Five Guys for my favorite burger in Toronto. Jason, thanks for the great TR. I won't repeat anything that Jason has already mentioned except that a huge thank you has to go to Canada's Wonderland and the Behemoth/Vortex crews. They did an amazing job handling the crowds and promoting the event. From the donation box at the front of the queue to the constant announcement for oncoming riders they just promoted GKTW and Coasting for Kids so much! Cannot wait until next years event! -

As promised here is my complete walkthrough of Dinosaurs Alive at Canada`s Wonderland. Sorry it is a little shaky, I did my best that day to try and make it look nice with like a makeshift steadycam. If you can, please Like and Subscribe as I want to put more videos up and start building my YouTube page. Enjoy. -
^Jason, I will help you out, but going to wait a bit, just in case the guy in first goes up as well. I am $32 out from third place. Would love to see two Team TPR members in the top three. Anyone able to help as well? May be able to throw together a bag o crap or some sort of prize towards the person that pushes me over the top. Update: I am now only $22 away .

Ya that first turn was quite the experience in the warmer weather. Also, I found that small airtime hill right after that turn to produce some even crazier air than normal. -
We should, as a team, try and make sure that a Team TPR member is first in every park. Right now myself and Jason ( rollin_n_coastin ) are in 3rd and 4th and inching our way up. I am going to peak around to other teams and see if I can throw some $ down to those who are close to first place. Way to go Team TPR, we are doing great!!!

^I will now forever and always hate Cedar Point. Okay, well, I can't hate that place but wow, that sucks. Ya, had a hard time hearing when everyone rushed the food during the Q&A session. Was real unfortunate we missed this information from the source but thank you for letting us know. -

Today was Leviamania at Canada's Wonderland put on by CWMania. It was an amazing event. I have photos and videos which I am transferring now and will upload tomorrow, but some notes: - 14 Rides on Leviathan During ERT. - The walk into and up Wonder Mountain was amazing. Got to see some amazing views of the park that has been unseen by the public in such a long time. - The interview with park management revealed something interesting. Behemoth was originally supposed to be named Leviathan. Senior execs did not like that name and eventually Behemoth was born. When the execs got replaced and the new B&M was being pitched, the obvious choice was Leviathan, and new execs liked the name. I found this really interesting due to the location of Behemoth. The name change would've been far better suited if you swapped them out. - There are "always thoughts about building something inside of Wonder Mountain" - Dinosaurs Alive exceeded my expectations. I thought the area was large, the animitronics were great, and the overall impression was a real hit. - The backstage tour of Leviathan, Dragon Fire and Wild Beast (a surprise tour) was great. Lots of great photos and lots amazing information. - The tunnel is not done. They didn't give a time frame but did mention that it will still be "evolving" over time. - More lighting is being set up as well to help illuminate the life/drop. - Evening ERT was great. Got 15 or 16 rides in on Behemoth as park of my warm up for Coasting for Kids on June 10th, which by the way its not too late to donate at https://www.firstgiving.com/fundraiser/joshuamclachlan/CanadasWonderland - A great event by CWMania and a gets me pumped for Leviathan Bash. Hope you guys enjoyed this quickfire report. I will posted the photos tomorrow as well as an entire video walk through of Dinosaurs Alive.
