Canada Wonderland (part 2)

Yesterday we went for the second time to Canada's Wonderland and we went on the rides which we did not do on Tuesday. The name of yesterday's rides were: The Bat, Drop Zone, Blackout, Time Warp, Wild Beast and Jet Scream. Drop zone was fantastic, we were fastened to our seats and lifted up around 300ft from the ground. Then with the voice of the attendant going "dum dum dum dum" he released the cart for a 3 sec free fall....amazing. The view from up there was fantastic. The ride which we laughed the most was Jet Scream. This ride consists of a space ship which rotates about a pivot located above it. When Leli saw it, the first thing he asked was "Those this ride go 360 degrees?" and Sam and I replied we don't think so. When the ride started, the first thing it did was to do a full 360 degrees.....lololololololol. Time Warp and Blackout were 2 cool rides. In the time warp ride you are fastened in a flying position and it really gives you the feeling that you are flying. Blackout was a high speed ride featuring the film The Italian Job. Half of this ride was in total darkness and it was unbelievable. However in our opinion the coolest ride of all was The Bat. First the carts are pulled backward up a slope and eventually released. When you almost reach the end of the track the carts are then pulled forward up a similar slope and released, which means that you re-do the track again but now going backwards. Wooowwww that was something we really didn't expect !!!!
