I know it's an older coaster now, but I've always liked the trains on Dragon Mountain at Marineland in Niagara Falls, ON.

I drove by a Six Flags park somewhere between Madison, Wis and Chicago, while on a family trip. I think that's the only major park I've seen but not entered. There are a bunch of Kid's parks I've driven by (not sure any of 'em had coasters,

Tough to say which park is my home park, since I'm much closer to La Ronde but I've frequented Wonderland much more often. I guess I'll start with the latter and do the other if I have the time (this will be based on my personal preference for the most part, rather than critical views)...

I'm in Canada. Some I haven't ridden due to geographical/size limitations (I'm working on the latter), so I'll lean on some friends whose opinions I trust: 1. Leviathan - Canada's Wonderland, Toronto 2. Behemoth - Canada's Wonderland, Toronto 3. Le Monstre - La Ronde, Montreal 4. Goliath - La...

This one was a surprise to me because I've been on it and while I thought it was relatively good (it's not crazy fast but it's always surrounded by terrain/theming that make it feel faster and it has one cool element at the end of the ride), I never realized the difference in height between the...

My list is very short: Cobra, La Ronde, Montreal Top Gun (now Flight Deck), Canada's Wonderland, Toronto The Fly, Canada's Wonderland, Toronto

One of my favourite coasters, and the one that seems to get universally positive reviews since it was installed, is Vortex, an Arrow suspended coaster (like The Big Bad Wolf), at Canada's Wonderland. Most of these are or will be torn down due to operation costs and Arrow's closure, so I don't...

I'd have to say that my first ride on Skyrider at Canada's Wonderland is the only time I was ever scared on a roller coaster. Skyrider is a Togo standup coaster with a loop and a pretty crazy double helix, but those features weren't what scared me (I saw them coming). As the ride approaches...
