Learning How Popular Halloween Events are a Little Too Late in the day.

Tried another go at Canada’s Wonderland and their Halloween Haunt spectacle last night, and dear god, so damn busy. Clue number one was the queue to got off highway 400 at Rutherford. Second was the traffic across Rutherford itself. Third was the forty minutes it took us to crawl up and along Jane Street to Springfield to get to the parking lot. Parking was a chaotic mess, but we found a spot about a six walk from the gates, so not awful. But I have never been to Wonderland and seen it this busy before. This blows all other “busy” days out of the water. Due to traffic we were only at the park for three hours, and thus managed to get on only three rides. Nearly an hours wait for each one. Tough luck kiddo. Plus it drizzled and sort of snowed just a touch. Thought that might clear a few folks out, but nope. Busy, busy, busy.

I drove all over York Region yesterday. Stouffville, Markham, Newmarket, back to Markham, across Markham, back to Stouffville, then out to Vaughn and back again. I’m positively pooped. Slept like shit last night too. Fun times.
