As Canada's Wonderland gears up for what is sure to be one of their most eventful seasons yet, with a new roller coaster and a fresh lawsuit already making headlines ahead of opening day, they're also rolling out a selection of new menu items that run the gamut from weird to wonderful.I, like many, have a love-hate relationship with theme park food.On one hand, a trip to your local theme park, like Canada's Wonderland, is one of the only times when it's socially acceptable to consume only items that have been thoroughly deep-fried, all day long.
