Well, with the winter here I thought it would be fun to start a couple of new topics every once in a while with some photos that I could contribute of some stuff over here that I've taken. So this is to start a small collection of photos from the last few years of the Topscan we have here in Canada, at Wonderland.

Good to see you enjoying your outside seat there, Iain. Do you think the ride is tamed down for theme park operation or not? Thorpe Park have Samurai which moved from Chessington and it is fustratingly slow. Who would have thought that a Top Scan could be so underwhelming?!

I can't say for sure as it is the only one I've ever met in real life. My mom has riden CVS's Space Roller and said it was dramatically faster. At least at Canada's Wonderland now, after 3 years, they finally are running different programs. In 2004 each visit I had at the park it would be running a different sequence, which is refreshing!
