Today is the last day of operation for Kumba at BGT. I’m sad that I only ever got to ride Kumba once. I liked it a lot, but feel cheated out of the true appreciation a lot of enthusiasts had for this ride. Excited to see what Kumba’s Revenge is all about though!
The DareDeviler is now open at Canada’s Wonderland! The new trains are sooo much better. The ride still has some janky spots, so don’t go expecting it to be butter smooth. I think the roughness adds character though, and it’s not painful.
Days like today always remind me of 2023 and Tundra Twister Media Day. The wildfires and smoke made for some cool photos – but it was a true reflection on our privilege, as despite the bad air quality, we were still able to enjoy a day at the park.
I should be posting more on here… so here’s a sunset photo of one of my favourite coasters (Yukon Striker at Canada’s Wonderland)!
Photos from my recent adventure to Long Point! I visited the bird observatory and saw 47 species in total. Unfortunately, many of them were far away and I don’t have a fancy camera with a telephoto lens, so these were the best my iPhone could do hahaha.
Pics of the High Park Cherry Blossoms from my visit to Toronto last weekend ☺️🌸
Canada Snoopy 😍 I got him as a gift from Canada’s Wonderland at media day, and he’s so cute!
Man, do I miss being in the parks! Thankfully I’m going to Wonderland’s media day tomorrow! Anything specific I should check out or ask about?
Anyone who says that “cardinals are a message from heaven” have never banded birds before.
In honour of Rabbie Burns Day, here’s the most Scottish coaster that’s not actually found in Scotland – Loch Ness Monster at Busch Gardens Williamsburg!
Some places ask us to slow down. To walk a little quieter. To listen a little closer. This land holds stories older than memory. Not written down, but carried forward – etched in stone and woven through generations. Here, everything is connected. This is Petroglyphs Provincial Park.
On Saturday, I had to say goodbye to Canada’s Wonderland as they took their final bow for the 2025 season. It’s always hard to go four months without being able to visit this place, but I’m so grateful for all the memories the 2025 season brought me.
Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and wonderful end to the year 🥰🎄☃️
Although not necessarily my favourite ride models out there, I love how graceful gigas are, and the magnificent presence they hold in a park’s skyline.
Mr. Twister and Candy Cane — two of my favourite characters to chat with at Winterfest!
And yes, this is the vlog where I get my credit on GOOD GRAVY!
Today is the day I start listening to Christmas music without shame. So here’s a fun throwback from when Javan and I did Yeti Trek at Santa’s Village to celebrate!
MOVEMBER - DAY 6 $110 raised so far Only 6 days in and I’m ready over 1/5th of the way of reaching my goal! Annnnd my mustache is coming in nicely (trust me bro, it’s there, you just have to squint a bit, tilt your head, and grab a magnifying glass 😉).
Some of my favourite photos from the first weekend of Haunt! Hoping to go back again this weekend.
The live premiere of my 2025 Halloween Haunt vlog and review is happening TONIGHT at 8:00pm EST! Join us to watch, chat, and scream in real time - or catch the video after the premiere if you can’t make it.
One of my friends posted this recently. It’s terrifying & heartbreaking to hear. Please don’t fall for the rhetoric going around about the trans community. There are murderers & saints in every group/community- but my trans friends and family members are some of the sweetest people I know.
That feeling when THE Mother Monster makes direct eye contact with you 💀🫠
I went to order an iced pumpkin spice latte but it came out as “Iced Spice Latte” and now I don’t think I can go back to that coffee shop 😅
I uploaded my first video 8 years, 5 months, and 28 days ago, and today I hit the big 2K! Thanks everyone for all of your love and support for the channel! I’m so grateful for this community, and I appreciate you for giving me the space to create my silly theme park videos 🥰
Welp, the summer season is officially over at Canada’s Wonderland, but if you’re already missing daily operations, check out my vlog from National Roller Coaster Day, where I ride my favourite coasters and discover some tasty dishes around the park. 🎢 youtu.be/ATyUqC6aDPE?...
