New Canada's Wonderland coaster to launch 'soon' after track completed
Canada's Wonderland's latest attraction is on track with its track. 'The final piece is in place! AlpenFury's track is officially completed and soon it'll be roaring from the mountain and into park history!' a post on the theme park's X account said Wednesday. In announcing the new ride last August, Canada's Wonderland officials described AlpenFury as 'Canada's longest, tallest and fastest launch coaster.' The roller-coaster features two launches: One that propels guests into Wonder Mountain and a second that will blast riders 50 metres out of the top. The coaster will span 1 km across the park and will reach speeds of 115 km/h, flipping and twisting through nine inversions — the most of any launch coaster in North America. Canada's Wonderland announces new launch coaster coming in 2025 Canada's Wonderland permanently closes Time Warp roller coaster 'AlpenFury is a world-class attraction and we're excited for the unique thrills it will offer our guests,' Wonderland GM Phil Liggett said in a statement last year. 'The combination of being blasted out of Wonder Mountain and then racing through nine inversions, one right after the other, is going to be an experience guests won't soon forget.' AlpenFury will be the park's 19th roller-coaster, the fourth to interact with Wonder Mountain and the signature attraction in Alpenfest, a designated themed area inside the Vaughan park. Canada's Wonderland is already open for the season.

We had a 66-person wedding for $16,000. Our guests danced all night and still tell us how much they loved it.
Shortly after we learned I was pregnant in 2014, we decided to get married. With the help of my mom and sister, our wedding was planned in just a few months. For $16,000, we had a wedding with 66 guests, and it was perfect for us. Sam proposed in November 2014 on a stormy afternoon overlooking Port Phillip Bay in Melbourne, Australia. We'd been together for eight years and had unexpectedly found out I was pregnant just a few months before. Marriage had never been on my bucket list, but we knew we loved each other, and it seemed like the next logical step. With the help of our loved ones, we organized a small wedding for only $16,000 in just a few months. It was perfect for us. I didn't want to look heavily pregnant in the wedding photos, so we set the date for January 3, 2015. At the time, I was working full-time as a journalist and navigating the first trimester of pregnancy, so my mom and sister (who was also my maid of honor) offered to organize the wedding for me. I was so grateful to have someone else take over. They scouted out wedding venues on the Gold Coast, where I grew up and Sam and I met, and narrowed it down to three. I chose a beautiful vineyard with a chapel and wedding reception venue on-site. My parents and my parents-in-law very kindly offered to split the wedding reception. My husband and I wanted to keep the cost down and make it more intimate, so we limited the guest list to 66 people. The reception cost $7,500. I bought my own wedding dress, which I found in a boutique store in Melbourne for $1600. It was an A-line ivory dress with a sweetheart neckline, a long train, lace, and diamantes. On the big day, I felt a million dollars. My parents and my husband paid for everything else, including the flowers, a carriage to the chapel (which made me feel like a princess), a photographer, a DJ, the cake, and wedding favors for the guests. All in all, the whole day cost $16,000. One of the things that helped make our wedding such a success was that we ate dinner quite early, around 6 p.m., and kept the speeches short during mealtime. Neither my husband nor I particularly like being the center of attention, and I didn't want the evening to drag on with too much chatter about us. For me, the most important thing was to be present and enjoy the big day. I didn't want to get bogged down in the details. I couldn't care less whether each Champagne glass had a bow on it or even what color the decorations were; I just wanted to enjoy the occasion. I also pre-selected the music. We'd been to several weddings where the music didn't work, either because the DJ was playing obscure artists that only the bride and groom liked, or old-school tunes like the Time Warp that don't really resonate with our generation. So, I gave our DJ a list of all the songs we wanted him to play, in order. People were carving up the dancefloor straight after the main meal and didn't stop until the venue kicked us out. It was a blast. Overall, having a smaller wedding worked well for us, as it meant that we were surrounded by our nearest and dearest — mainly family, and a few close friends. The people who were there were the ones who mattered to us, and because it was a smaller crowd, we could really mingle with our guests. Many told us afterward that it was one of their favorite weddings, and though we may be biased, we couldn't agree more. Read the original article on Business Insider
