Yesterday, Dena and I went to Fearfest at Canada’s Wonderland with Nat and John; it was Nat’s birthday gift to Dena. They really did the place up well with plenty of rotting corpses, smoke, lighting effects and such. The first thing we did when we got in there was ride Dragon Fire. I can tell it’s been a while since either Dena or myself were on a rollercoaster as we both smoked our heads in the first loop. But after that it was smooth sailing on Thunder Run, The Bat (the second time through the loops when you go backwards is killer), Vortex and Minebuster. They “frightened-up” the rides by simply turning off most of the lighting but it was still cool. The one rollercoaster that suprised me, and seemed out-of-place given the horror theme, was Italian Job. It doesn’t look like much from afar but that ride frickin’ flies, let me tell you.
We didn’t get a chance to go to many of the other attractions. Legend of the Lost was kinda kewl with plenty of creepy atmoshphere and jump-out scares. That, Slaughter Street and Friday the 13th: Jason’s Extreme Cuts (for about 30 seconds) were about the only other things we took in. And there was plenty more to see but we didn’t. Too bad we didn’t have more time.
As per usual, here are our annual pictures of cats and Jack-O-Lanterns:
