Memories In My Skin

The first time I went to Canada's wonderland was on thanks giving two years ago. My Uncle August (also known as Augy) took me there for my birthday that year. My uncle and I went to Canada's Wonderland with his friends John and Jen (Jen is also my cousin). I was so excited, nervous, and terrified all at the same time. The reason for this is because during the day we planned to do the normal rides and during the night we were going to 'The Halloween Haunt'. The Halloween Haunt is just a bunch of 'haunted' mazes, and there normal rides. I was known to be a scared cat when going though haunted houses and mazes because when I was 6 years old my mom decided to take me to the 'Old Spook House'. Then the first step I took into that haunted house someone wearing a masked jumped out and scared me half to death. So in conclusion when I did not make it though the maze and that whole week end I was sick.

When we got to Canada's wonderland at 7 o'clock in the morning I keep reminding my uncle that I have never being on a roller coaster and that the first ride that we had to go on was 'The Drop Zone'. I have no idea why I wanted to go on that ride first because I had a fear of heights and that the second highest ride in the whole park. But turned out to be my third favourite ride, it was so much fun. After we that ride we went to the biggest roller coast in all of Canada 'The Leviathan' which I tried to remind my uncle for like the 80th time that I had never being on a roller coaster and that I was scared of heights. But know him he did not care he wanted to hit the ride that was closest to us and that happened to be 'The Leviathan'. So, John, Augy, and I all went on that ride while Jen stood by and watched because she hates roller coasters. That ride was so much fun and after that ride I had the confidence to go on any ride that John, Jen, and Augy wanted to go on. We went on all the rides that we could before 6 o'clock (6 o'clock was when they closed the park). We played in the arcade a few times during the day because it was raining of and on. When we made it to the far side of the park it start raining but we did not care much because we were already soaked to the bone so, all four of us kept going on the rides. We finally made it to the second best ride in the whole part, which was 'Behemoth'. It was still raining and we decided to go on it anyway. Once we were going so fast the rain felt like ice pellets but that made it even more fun.

When it was 6 o'clock we left the park, get supper and went back to the park at 7 o'clock for the 'Halloween Haunt'. We gave the people our tickets and stepped in to the park. As soon as I step in this guy dress up as a zombie on all four jumped at me and I jumped out of my skin because he scared me I was not expecting anyone to do that and look so real on top of that, (Note: The people are not aloud to touch you.) we all went to the first maze which was the corn maze. Augy said that it was the lest scary out of all of the maze that they have there. After I got used to them I did not find them scary. the second time that one of the actors scared me was when we went to the maze called 'The Terror Of London' this guy jumped out from behind a curtain to the people in front of my uncle (Note: I was holding on to the back of Augy's sweater as I stood behind him for all the mazes), I look at the guy who jumped out from behind the curtain and said "HI" happily with a hint of fear in my voice. The man the went back in behind the curtain and jumped right back out and yelled in my ear "HI". The man scared me half to death, the man, my uncle, Jen, John and me all laughed. Also, while we were in that maze a guy hanging out of a broken window from above us said to Augy "I LIIIIIIKE YOUR HAT, CAN I HAAAAAVE IT". Augy looked at him and said with an evil smirk on his face "IF YOU EVER THINK OF TOUCHING MY HAT, YOU ARE DEAD". The look on that mans face was so hilarious that I almost fell over laughing. At the end of the night Augy made sure that we went on the 'Drop Zone' one more time because he said the view from the top is awesome at night and he was right.

In conclusion, my experience at Canada's Wonderland and the Haunted Halloween there will be a memory that I will always have in my skin. In other words, I will never forget it as long as I live.
