19 h. ago The complete history of the famous fake mountain at Canada's Wonderland

The hulking artificial mountain at the heart of Canada's Wonderland hasn't always been bristling with coasters, growing from humble origins as a park centrepiece on opening day in 1981 into the ride-laden massif that exists today. Standing over 45 metres above Wonderland's International Street (but looking considerably taller thanks to the magic of forced perspective), Wonder Mountain has always served as the park's visual icon, and various attempts have been made over the decades to incorporate coasters into Wonderland's central magnet — for better or worse.Here's the complete history of the famous fake mountain that serves as a backdrop for countless Ontario childhood memories.Ontario could have had its own Eiffel TowerCanada's Wonderland was built to similar specifications as sister parks Kings Island and Kings Dominion.

3 d. ago It's been 10 years since a dead Toronto raccoon captured hearts around the world

Ten years have passed since the famous dead Toronto raccoon incident, where the little critter and its shrine stole our hearts.It was on July 9, 2015, at the corner of Church and Yonge when the little dude, affectionately named Conrad, met his untimely death and became an instant icon in the city's lore.It took a whole 14 hours before the City's animal services came and scooped up the raccoon's lifeless body — and in that time, the internet, the city, and others around the world celebrated his trash panda life and mourned its untimely end.The whole saga started when the City was alerted via Twitter (it was still Twitter back then) that Conrad had met his maker. But as the day passed, poor Conrad's carcass continued to melt in the hot July sun as mourners stopped to pay their respects.The sidewalk memorial is growing, @311Toronto.
