Canada's Wonderland- June 13th, 2018

Today marked our fourth visit of the season to Canada's Wonderland. The day started out foggy and humid and ended sunny and windy, with less humidity. Since the park was not busy, we were able to ride and re-ride many rides.
Be sure to check out the great day Scott, our Mom, and I had at Canada's Wonderland on this mid-June day in the photos below!

Here is a nice flowery view of the entrance to Canada's Wonderland as we had arrived that morning.
The Royal Fountains were spraying sky-high, kind of blending in with the grey sky backdrop.
This is a view of the active construction taking place for Canada's Wonderland's next roller coaster, opening in 2019. The original path leading to Splash Works was removed and a new path was rerouted along the edge of land where SkyRider had once operated. As you can see, many supports have been put into place. This shot was captured after Scott and I took a ride on Mighty Canadian Minebuster.
As our thrilling day progressed, Riptide seem to have minor downtime throughout the duration of our visit. Here it is momentarily stopped with the passengers on board. Its constant downtime today prevented me from getting a ride on it. I'll be sure to hop on board next time!
After many test runs, SledgeHammer finally opened for the day. It was great to get a ride on this one-of-a-kind Huss Jump 2 as it was closed early in the season, only reopening after a lot of maintenance a week or so ago.
SledgeHammer is celebrating its 15th year of operation at Canada's Wonderland. While this technically advanced thrill ride has quite a bit of downtime from time to time, Canada's Wonderland's amazing maintenance crew makes sure that it still provides an exhilarating ride experience for those looking for a quick thrill! Interestingly enough, this year SledgeHammer seems to provide a bit more hang time when the arms rise, compared to previous seasons. It was a nice touch, to this thrilling ride!
As the afternoon rolled along, I decided to get some artsy shots. Here is one of Flight Deck looking through the tree branches below. 
After feeling the humidity of the day for many hours, getting on many rides and a few on the water rides, White Water Canyon and TimberWolf Falls which helped us cool off, we decided it was time to head home after another amazing time at the park! Thanks for looking at our photos of our fourth visit of the season to Canada's Wonderland! :-)
