From funnel cake to lengthy lines, see how many of these iconic Wonderland adventures you can check off the list.
Ridden the three biggest rollercoasters
Yukon Striker
About: Wonderland is all about the thrills, and there's no better way to experience the park than by riding the three biggest rollercoasters: Leviathan, Yukon Striker and Behemoth. All three are "sister coasters" as they were manufactured by the same designer. Leviathan is the fastest and tallest rollercoaster at Wonderland, Behemoth features rolling airtime hills, and Yukon Striker is the tallest, fastest and longest dive coaster in the world.
Feasted on funnel cake
Funnel cake
About: Wonderland isn't just about the rides. One of the most iconic features of the park is its signature funnel cake with ice cream and strawberries, and you won't want to share.
Waited over two hours in line for one ride

Floated down the Lazy River

Been drenched by Timberwolf Falls

Been sunburnt from head to toe
Behemoth
About: Did you even spend the day at Wonderland if at least some part of you isn't tomato-red by the end? No matter how much sunscreen you slather on, the sun always seems to find you.
Seen the skyline from the Windseeker
