It is my opinion that all parks should have a c*nty dragon hidden away in a secret cave.

COASTER CREDIT #379: Casey Jr – Le Petit Train du Cirque Why yes, I do count powered coasters, and this one was surprisingly delightful! It was a bit harder to see the miniatures than on the canal boats, but it was a fun ride that offered more « thrill » than Disneyland’s Casey Jr.

COASTER CREDIT 378: Avengers Assemble: Flight Force aka the Rock n Roller Coaster clone with Iron Man and Captain Marvel. Honestly, I don’t get the hate for this ride, it’s fun! My only real gripe is that it’s too similar to Hyperspace Mountain, but maybe that’ll change with the Space Mtn refurb.

One of my favourite quirks of Disneyland Paris and the French language is that it’s customary to say « bonsoir » instead of « bonjour » in the evenings and at night. But on spooky rides like Tower of Terror and Phantom Manor, the cast will ALWAYS greet you with « bonsoir » no matter what time it is.

COASTER CREDIT #377: Indiana Jones et le Temple du Péril What a weird ride for a Disney Park! It’s made by Intamin but rides like a Pinfari with lipstick – it’s a bit rough and very PMF. The temple it surrounds is gorgeous though, and the loop has some nice intensity.

These Shoulder Pals are all the rage at DLP (almost as popular as Mickey Ears)! They have almost every animal character imaginable, so of course I had to get myself a little Remy (…because Paris lol).

Coaster Credit #376: Hyperspace Mountain Another great Parisian take on a Disney classic! The launch wasn’t overly intense, but still fun. It’s a solid Vekoma launch with some fun inversions, and I love that it has the new age restraints.

COASTER CREDIT #375: Big Thunder Mountain Railroad It’s been over a year since my last coaster credit, and boy was this a triumphant return! The tunnel under the water was so cool, and I think this might be my favourite version of Big Thunder that I’ve been on.

So now that Canada is in talks to become an associate member of the EU, does that mean Canada will be the next land built at Europa Park?

I’ve heard (and often used) the expression “One and done” for a coaster ridden simply to get the credit. But while at BGT, I heard a guy getting off Cobra’s Curse exclaim with much enthusiasm, “One and done, but LOTS of FUN” and now I think I have to say that a lot

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.
A photo of me pointed at a red and yellow coloured model of a biplane placed in front of the DareDeviler roller coaster. Despite the roughness of the ride, I am smiling because it’s so much better than the ride ever used to be.

My heart goes out to everyone affected by these fires, but especially the indigenous communities in Northern Ontario who have lost everything. If you can, consider donating to the Canadian Red Cross or True North Aid: truenorthaid.ca

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.
Tundra Twister, a large spinning thrill ride by Mondial at Canada’s Wonderland, on the morning of its media day in 2023. The Yukon Striker roller coaster is also visible, twisting in the background behind the ride. Tundra Twister is at the top of its cycle, pointed straight up into a hazy yellow sky affected by wildfire smoke. It is gorgeous, but the beauty is in contrast to the real damages that the wildfires inflict.

Re: Patagonia v. Pattie Gonia I spoke with a trademark attorney and two scholars of Indigenous Patagonian history to understand both the legal and ethical question everyone is asking. The answers are way more complex than social media is making them out to be.

Can Patagonia© own Patagonia?
And more importantly, should it?

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.

Some bird shots from my visit to High Park. 🦆🐦‍⬛
Great Egret sitting by a pond at High Park. A patch of weeds partially obscures him from view… so mysterious. Chipping Sparrow sitting near a fallen log at High Park. He looks curiously towards the camera, as if unsure of what this giant nerd wants from him. A red-winged blackbird perched on a branch in a small grove of trees at High Park. He has a great view of the pond from up there. Two mallard ducks (one green headed male and one all brown female) standing on the ground, enjoying a casual dinner of seeds. This is clearly a date, which makes me the third wheel.

Pics of the High Park Cherry Blossoms from my visit to Toronto last weekend ☺️🌸
An image of two cherry blossom trees at High Park with a crowd of people surrounding them. Part of the joy of seeing the cherry blossoms is experiencing the diversity of the community around you.

Not only is this ride based on the lore of the elusive Highland craitur, but canny enthusiasts ken that this braw classic is the bonniest Arrow Looper around (and if any eejit tries to haiver and tell you otherwise, ye can kick their arse to the cludgie).

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.

They know when you need them! It’s like they can sense it, and they know how to calm you down when you’re stressed. On the flip side, they’re also programmed to stress you out when your calm 🤣 Perfectly balanced, as all things should be.
