Has become a trend in our house with both of my kids looking at all of the rides around the world. We started doing it in preparation for going to Canada’s Wonderland this year and it has just kind of stuck around. The best part is the videos themselves rarely extend beyond four to five minutes, and if you watch the versions put out by the parks themselves then they are shot in 4K or better, and are done on bright days, at the very front of the coaster. I got my oldest prepared for Yukon Striker by using the pov from YouTube. Still, we ended up riding it for the first time in mid October, at 11:15pm at night during a Halloween Haunt in the dark, so the pov was not really all that helpful. The three second dangle over the 90° drop is just as terrifying in the light as it is in the dark! It was just about our last time going for the season when I got her to try Leviathan. Then we rode that four more times that day. It’s a very fast gigacoaster. Funny how we were both nervous because of how tall the ride is, and how big all of the drops are, but it quickly became one of our favourites. Helps to go when the lines are under ten minutes a ride. Now I fear all other coasters will feel like less of a thrill because we became so accustomed to three very large, very fast, and very thrilling rides from our home park.
Happy Lazy Sunday to all whom celebrate.
