I like how this model coaster gives a proper scale feel since scale model trains can't run at scale speeds. Would love to have something like this. I may even play with some of my LED strips for the "train" effect.
I just discovered that #Leviathan at @WonderlandNews is just 9ft shy of the A. Murray MacKay Bridge (315ft) in Halifax!!

2nd WinterFest visit was a chilly one (-10C windchill), caused Psyclone and Sledgehammer some grief. Psyclone kept getting stuck when back "home". Turkey Ball and Poutine not on the meal plan, so back to Lazy Bear for the yummy smoked turkey.
As usual, have to do TTC re-con before heading to Wonderland. So, 88B to St. Clair and 512 street car to St. Clair West this week.
I guess @YouTube really doesn't want to know the reason I clicked "Not interested" when I get bombarded with nonsense video recommendations.
Traffic on Overlea Blvd is a mess with #OntarioLine @Metrolinx construction. Holding up #TTC @TTChelps buses and non-transit vehicles
Suggestions
- Move 88B stop to Millwood Rd
- Move 72 stop to Thorncliffe Pk Dr
- Maybe suspend Leaside Park Dr stops

The 3pm lines at the front gate gave me a shock, but only 6min to get in. Immediately searched for food and found the amazing Smoked Turkey Festive Dinner at Lazy Bear Lodge. Yum! Got stuck on Viking's Rage long enough to get a chill that I couldn't shake, so headed out at 6:40pm
Nice not having to get up around 6:30am to get ready for Wonderland. Laundry, check. Groceries, check. Now a couple hours to relax before heading to the park for WinterFest
Found a feature new to me in OpenOffice Calc, "Conditional Formatting". So, have my summary sheet comparing stat to the previous year, -/+. And added % of total rides.😄Several red 2024 flat rides should go green with 4-5 WinterFest visits.
Now that is a big leaf!! It was on the sidewalk when on the way home from Food Basics today. 14 inches across.
Time to rest up for WinterFest. Too tired and achy this morning. So, no more coasters until 2025.
Some gains and losses compared to 2023. WinterFest will bump up the flat ride counts.
12 #YukonStriker rides today pushed me to 506 rides grand total.
Perfect day at the park today! #Leviathan was running early, but I headed to #YukonStriker to get 6+ rides. Had the Single Rider queue almost to myself, so managed 12 rides in no time. Then went down, so off to Behemoth for 8 rides. Tomorrow Leviathan 1st.
Park has definitely been busier this year, rides/hr are behind. WinterFest will have to make up the ride shortfall. At least my 2023 Behemoth and Leviathan counts have been bested. And just 6 more for Yukon Striker to reach 500.
Gheez, what was with all the strollers & wagons today? As I was making my way to the front gate, it felt like....
A busy weekend, so the double header wasn't as productive as hoped. But, managed to add 11 to the Leviathan tally. Again, stuck to rides that will be down after Nov 2nd. Two amazing days, weather-wise. And nice autumn colours. Two visits left before resting for WinterFest.
