According to the pacrim wiki, Coyote Tango was the first jaeger the program lost. By that time, Pentecost and Tamsin were not piloting anymore. It was June, 2016.

The order of pre-knifehead fallen jaegers is:

- Coyote Tango. Destroyed in combat against Itak. On its second set of pilots. June, 2016.

- Victory Alpha. Destroyed in combat against Raganarok. The pilots survived. July, 2016.

- Tacit Ronin. Abandoned because its pilots died of neural overload. July, 2016.

- Lucky Seven. Abandoned because one of its pilots was decommissioned. 2019.

Following this pic from the wiki:

We know that the first jaeger was launched in 2015 (Brawler Yukon) and the last in 2019 (Striker Eureka).

The golden age of the jeager program was from 2017 to 2019, three years of gaining more than they were losing. The peak was in 2019, with 20 active jaegers. The bottom was in 2025, with no jaegers left.

2024 was the year with more deaths, with 8 j-pilots going KIA. Then 2025, with 7 deaths between the Double Event that killed both Cherno and Crimson, and Operation Pitfall, who claimed Pentecost and Chuck.

Between 2019 and 2023 there were 9 KIAs.

Which means Yancy was the first jaeger pilot to die on combat. It makes sense, given the reaction of Penecost to hearing that they had lost Gipsy's signal (and Yancy was dead).

It marks:

- 2019-20: 1 lost jaeger, 1 pilot KIA.

The list of fallen jaegers Post-Knifehead:

- 2020-21: 2 lost jaeger, 1 pilot KIA.

- 2021-22: 3 lost jaegers, 2 pilots KIA.

- 2022-23: 2 lost jaegers, 3 pilots KIA.

- 2023-24: 8 lost jaegers, 2 pilots KIA.

- 2024-25: 0 lost jaegers, 8 pilots KIA.

- 2025: 4 lost jaegers, 7 pilots KIA.

Let's compare all this info with the following Kaiju War Timeline from the wiki:

A) 2013-2014: The Feral Burst. There were no jaegers yet to defend humanity against the 3 kaijus that invaded the world.

B) 2015-2019: The Long Game, Part I. There were 24 jargers up around this period, with a total of 13 kaijus making contact.

Special mention to the Beckets, who got an impressive mark of 5 kills during those years. It means they helped killed more than a 1/3 of those bastards during the golden era of the jaeger program. For what I see, Raleigh is the only pilot who had ever abandoned the jaeger program because he wanted to, not because he was hurt or kicked out.

C) 2020-2023: The Long Game, Part II. The amount of kaijus who invaded in those three years equals the amount of kaijus who made contact within the first 6 years of the war. It means the precursos sent as many kaijus in half the time. Humanity went into this phase with 19 jaegers. By the end they had 4.

2024 reports 13 kaiju attacks. It makes sense that they lost 8 jaegers and 10 pilots more or less in that year. With 12 jaegers active, it is more than a 1vs1 situation. Something tells me that most of Striker Eureka's kills were during this phase.

Special mention to the Hansen, btw. *During Chuck active years, he participated in almost third of the kaiju killings that happened then. I don't know Lucky Seven's score in this race, but *Herc's win amount to a 1/4 of the whole kaiju fights during his active time.

*The count stops at Mutavore. It does not include the Double Event or Pitfall.

If we include Post-Mutavore but not their participation/assistant at killing Leatherback:

- Chuck: 11 kills, 35 kaiju appereances during his active career (almost a 1/3).

- Herc: 12 kills, 44 kaiju appearances (not counting 2016 and adding at least 2 kills of the Lucky Seven era; around a 1/4).

Yet again, if by statistics alone, Mako is the most winning jaeger pilot of the movie. In her active years there had been 5 kaijus and she has helped kill 4. It's worth mentioning that her debut was on a double event followed by a triple event, with the only Category-5 ever saw. Impressive, to say the least.

On the other hand, Raleigh has helped kill or killed himself almost half of the kaijus that had appear on his active years.

Here: (ratio is 19-20 kaijus, 9 kills).

- 2025: 6 kaijus, 4 kills.

- 2015-2019: 13-14 kaijus, 5 kills.

The Hansens record is impressive just in the sheer size of their killing count, which is still not complete given I don't have the info on Lucky Seven. Meanwhile, Raleigh and Mako are impressive for the efficiency record.

Of the 51 kaijus that invaded the Earth, Gipsy and Striker combine to 20 kills. That means 2/5 of the total.

The last three j-pilots hold the best or most insane records of the program. Herc with the most wins, Mako with the best efficiency and Raleigh fucking Becket who had solo piloted twice and explode a jaeger in another world.

Wonderland was super fun today. We headed immediately for yukon striker (B&M Dive coaster), and got on in fairly good time. It's a fantastic coaster. I LOVE THE RESTRAINT SYSTEM. I felt so safe, and was comfortable (after the first drop) to joy have to grip onto it bcuz I didn't feel like I would fall out even on the inversions. That first drop is a doozy xD. Gotta get front row now. Managed to do it twice because there is a single rider's line.

We went on a ton of rides including the haunted house shooting one, the spinning barrels, nightmares, minebuster, vortex, the raft ride, the train in the mountain, ..and lots more :D. Behemoth was fun but those hills at the end of the run almost made me puke xD. Chels was there til 3:30ish so she waited in line with us or went on the couple of small rides we went on ^^ other than that me and my friend Damon went on the rest.

It was the Taste of Greece or whatever festival so we also got some amazing gyros for fairly cheap. Plus ouzo mojito slushies (less cheap but yum). It started to rain around 5:50ish.. hard. I enjoy summer storms like that so we just got wet and took the 45min to an hour and got dinner. Finished that and the rain was done and rides were back up! Left about 15min before closing because my body was done with rides xD and beat the rush out.

So yeah. Super fun day. Plusmif you got a season's pass for next year you get the rest of this year free..so I did that. ..except they gave me the wrong one which doesn't include halloween haunt and winterfest... soo I have to head there during the week and get that sorted. I do need the gold one bcuz then I can go to halloween haunt often xD.

Trip Report: Canada’s Wonderland

Dates: August 14-15, 2019

ocean man take me by the hand lead me to the land that you understand

Let’s set the scene here:

It is August 18, 2011. It is about 2:30 in the afternoon. Your mother is back at work, but you aren’t back to school. You’ve had massive surgery on your jaw 17 days earlier, and you’re staying with your aunt during the days because your mouth is wired shut and you’re a choking hazard to yourself. You’re finding out a lot of things you like, and one of those are roller coasters. Yes, you really like those. You check your trusty website, Screamscape, and see that a park you’ve only vaguely heard of before has announced something very big and very fast.

Color yourself interested. In your ever-growing quest to know more about these steel (and wooden!) beauties, you click the link to the video. The music begins, the green-tinted footage begins to play, and you are horrified at the thought of being 306 feet above ground. This looks amazing, but you’ll never get to go to Canada anyway and you’re terrified of heights.

This is my park now! It proclaims.

Congratulations, friend! You think. I don’t think our paths will ever cross.

It is July 17, 2013. You have just been 310 feet in the air. It scares you shitless. For the first time, you understand “Roller coaster hype.” It is this day you fall hopelessly and unchangeably in love with Intamin’s finest creation, Millennium Force. You swear that you will meet all the other gigas and you will protect them with your life. (But you won’t love them quite as much as you do Force. She’s special to you.)

It is May 9, 2015, and you remember about halfway up a 325-foot-tall lift hill that 306 used to scare you shitless. It still scares you shitless. It will be many years, but eventually, you will not be scared shitless of being 300+ feet in the air. But regardless of how much shit has been scared out of you, it is this day you fall madly in love with B&M’s finest creation, Fury 325. It is this day, really, when your thirst for Leviathan begins to go into overdrive.

It is August 14, 2019, and you’re riding out of Toronto with a tray of poutine in your lap when you see teal steel on the horizon. You know Kings Island is about to drop a giga that you don’t think you could love unconditionally. You are going to make the absolute most out of your time in Canada and milk every last hour of calling yourself “giga trash” without an asterisk while you still can. You can only choke out two words: Ocean Daddy.

Disclaimer time, I’m going to say it. Canada’s Wonderland is straight up my favorite Cedar Fair park. I am so enamored with this place that it isn’t funny. Everybody is so nice, and while the wait times are hot garbage, I think the park is worth it. I want to try more food there, but the treat we had was delicious! My only complaint with this park is the waits. Even the operations are really good, it’s just mobbed with people constantly.

My first international credit was Mighty Canadian Mine Buster. I was interested in trying this because it’s a clone of Shooting Star at the old Coney Island in Cincinnati. Shooting Star is originally what Beast at KI was meant to be before it became the icon it is today. I personally liked this ride more than I had expected to, and it makes me wish I had a chance to ride the OG Shooting Star. It can be a little bumpy at times, but it had some pretty good air since it had a chance to warm up through the day. Refurb and retrack it, but don’t RMC it. Please.

Behemoth is my second-favorite B&M hyper now, still behind SFOG’s fantastic Goliath. It has a lot of great, sustained floater, and it wasn’t trimmed to death. It’s very smooth and it does everything I like about Diamondback even better. The weird double-helix at the end was a unique finale, and I always like to award individuality in B&M hypers. I had heard that it was running kind of poorly this year, and if this is “poor,” I’d probably die from how good it is at the top of its game. I lost my shit when I saw the CN Tower on the lift as well. We liked it enough to ride it again on our second day back, despite the crappy wait. It’s my second favorite in the park.

From there, we went to Time Warp. This ride sucks, plain and simple. It both looks and feels like a Medieval torture device. I don’t know why this exists, but I’m pretty sure it violates the Geneva Convention by existing. Vortex is probably my favorite suspended coaster that’s still in operation (RIP to the Wolf!!) I enjoyed the part at the top of the lift behind Wonder Mountain. The rest of the ride is a little uncomfortable, but makes up for that with amazing scenery and cool interactions with the new neighbor. I would definitely ride this one again.

Wilde Beast is okay. It’s much rougher than MCMB, I think. The layout was pretty good, but not crazy memorable. If any wooden coaster here gets Schilke’d, I would vote for this one. It still isn’t awful, I just want to keep MCMB as is because of Shooting Star. Dragon Fyre is an inoffensive Arrow looper. Not the worst, not my favorite. My real main drive for this was to pad my count for Leviathan to be a quasi-milestone and to get good views of the ride I’ve been salivating over for the past 4 years.

Let’s flash back to last year, when I rode Cedar Point’s lackluster Valravn. The vest restraints killed my enjoyment of an otherwise-passable ride. Griffon had spoiled me. When Canada’s Wonderland announced their own dive coaster at the end of the 2018 season, we all collectively shrugged, said “lol okay and?”, and went on with our lives. Because Valravn was garbage, and this really couldn’t have been much better. My expectations for Yukon Striker were incredibly low, and we even put off this ride until the next day because we didn’t feel like waiting in line that long for a vested dive coaster.

I underestimated this ride. While I still prefer Griffon because of the old restraints, the vests aren’t nearly as bad on this. If it had the old restraints, Yukon easily would be my favorite dive coaster. The layout is very good---I didn’t think that Son of Beast looking ass loop would work, but it did, surprisingly well---and the ride has an amazing amount of speed that you can feel even when you aren’t in the front. It also feels like you’re hung up at the top longer than Valravn or Griffon.

I still really don’t like the name, but it’s more like a TwiTim or Mystic situation where it’s an ugly name for an otherwise very good ride. So fuck off, Yukon. I really didn’t want to like you as much as I did. You smug little shit. You Tesla-driving prick. You smarmy bastard with your popped collar and sweater vest. I really, really like you. Ugh.

But now it’s time to address the fish in the sea, isn’t it? The driving factor for me getting this damn passport? The most beautiful man in the RailChasers world (aside from maybe SFGAM Goliath)?

I incredibly like Leviathan. I knew I was going to like it a lot because up until the 15th I had a blindingly-strong giga bias, but I really didn’t think I was going to like it this much. While yes, on technicality, it still is my least favorite of the four, it’s better than the majority of coasters that I’ve ridden.

I still can’t tell if I prefer the back or the front with this one. I assumed I would prefer the front because that’s what I like on Fury, and you really do feel the speed so much more up there, but the back has more kick to it. Where Leviathan can’t really fall back on its length, I think I do prefer the kick to make the most of my short time.

And being short truly is Leviathan’s only flaw; while it actually is a few hundred feet longer than 305, Intimidator makes up for that with sheer aggression. You feel like you’ve been on it longer because the ride tousles you around. Leviathan is more like Force and Fury where he’s a very graceful, speedy boy, so it seems like it’s over much faster because the ride focuses on the feeling of “we are going really quickly as we finesse down Weston Road and go down as G-O-D.”

But honestly, aside from that one thing, this ride is fucking amazing and it was everything I hoped it would be and then some. I anticipated it to be my new second favorite B&M over Goliath but under Fury, and I was right. It’s a little closer to Fury than I honestly thought it would be. I’ve always been a little anxious about meeting rides that I’ve been stoked for ever since I was let down so severely by the shitshow that is Steel Vengeance. Thankfully, Leviathan didn’t break my heart like that. There was only happiness, Tim Horton’s coffee, and listening to a lot of Drake while we talked about our feelings.

Yes, I sobbed like a fucking bitch on the brake run. I love him so much. Dammit. Leviathan is so good. It almost (almost) makes me have hopes that Orion won’t be as bad as the layout suggests. And hey, at least all the North American gigas still have awesome names.

It is August 15, 2019. As you leave the park, watching that ride fade out of the rearview, you feel some really weird sense of peace. You realize there’s only two “bucket list” rides you have left in North America: any RMC Raptor you can get your paws on, and Outlaw Run. But you’re not worried about blazing rails or lassoing villains or being the sane Herschend RMC right now. Your only concern is when you get to see the most lovable sea monster you’ve ever met again.

#I love my canadian fish boyfriend and you can all eat shit #update I really don't even mind orion at this point thanks to the GTAs lol #trip reports

Day Three Without You. 26/04/19.

This day hurt the most. This seems like it’s all a joke to you whereas I’m dysfunctional and suffering but it’s not like you cared lol you havent for a while so I’m dumb for even trying to have hope that you do. I felt like shit all day and for some reason may 3rd kept coming to mind and then i came home and slept and kayla called and i woke up instantly bc i thought it was you finally giving me the chance to talk to you. it wasnt. she told me you were at wonderland on the yukon striker. my heart broke into a million pieces. i remember you making those plans w me in february and saying we were gonna have the best day ever and be happy “together” but it was all a lie. You made those plans almost 3 months ago and made me seem special but found a replacement 2 days into this separation. Not only that, but you found a way to go earlier. it was never about me to begin with, it was all about what you wanted. I started bawling my eyes out on the phone and have been miserable since but you obviously dont care. I remember telling gracie about how sad i was about that day now and she told me “ok we’ll go” and i said “no bc he wanted me to go with him and i wanted to be with him to see him smile” but you never cared to begin with. it was never about me, it was all about your wants. You were right when you said you cared too little because all thats been trapped in my head is you and you couldnt care less about me. You were so quick to forget about me and idk how when i’m losing my mind. guess i did this to myself. the past few days i’ve been constantly blaming myself trying to still see the good in you but i just dont see how you say you dont have people in your life except for me and still found the way to treat me like that. the guy i met in july wouldnt have done that. I said back then I felt like a priority and not a choice and you said “why would you be a choice now?” i want you to answer that. this is why i feel like a choice because i would never do this to you. today really fucking hurt. i hope you had fun.

2018 Second Round Travel Grant Recipients

During the second round of travel funding in 2018, award in July, the Edmonton Arts Council (EAC) approved support for 65 artists and projects travelling to 29 different cities in 10 different countries.

Travel grants have long been an important offering from the Edmonton Arts Council as we encourage collaboration, professional development, and exhibition opportunities that either aren’t available in Edmonton or that provide artists with a larger audience. Similarly, EAC’s Executive Director, Sanjay Shahani, feels strongly about the need for artists to travel for networking and to showcase their work. “It’s important to give artists opportunities to connect with artistic communities, and to support artistic collaborations. Artists need to be at major events, gatherings, and conferences to connect with their peers. If we can provide a small contribution towards helping them go to events—for instance, supporting a band playing at a major festival in front of producers and presenters to potentially get booked—that’s important.”

“It’s important for our artists to collaborate with international artists, so that the work that they’re doing here in Edmonton has staying power, so it’s not just shown and seen in Edmonton, but has the potential for touring, for dissemination, and for distribution.”

Even in the digital age where meetings can happen over Skype and artists can be discovered on YouTube and Instagram, travel is vital to starting and growing careers in the arts. “Travel is just one really important piece of sharing an artist’s work, it allows artists to build relationships which you can’t do any other way,” Shahani says. “Most art forms require collaboration, most art forms require relationships between artists and arts communities.”

If you’ve got a travel opportunity in mind and need support, the deadline for the final round of 2018 travel grants is October 1, 2018. Click here for more information; applications open on September 1, 2018. The EAC grants team is willing and able to provide consultation before an artist chooses to apply; if you’ve never applied to an EAC grant before, are wondering if your project is eligible, or have any other questions about creating a strong grant, email your questions to [email protected] or call 780-424-2787. Artists residing in Edmonton for at least one year can apply for up to $750 to support travel for the purposes of training, development, presentation, touring, networking, and/or marketing.

The current travel grant recipients sought out unique opportunities, or were invited to showcase their work, around the world. Diverse art projects and training opportunities—in visual arts, dance, music, writing, installation, theatre, poetry, and film—were supported from Calgary to Tel Aviv. Get some inspiration for your own projects and opportunities by seeing what our current travel grant recipients are working on—and where they’re going.

Spontaneously went to the final night of Halloween Haunt at Wonderland, a place I haven't been in years and it was pretty darn well worth it. With the 4 hours we had, our group managed 6 rides, 5 of them roller coasters. We made it through the 51 minute line for Yukon Striker, well worth it all things considering, and even managed to ride Behemoth twice in a row right at the end, my fellow riders and I were the last people to ride the coaster for the season and the year, a cool honor! It was an awesome expirience and I'm really glad @devin_gammo asked me if I wanted to go to "Fear Fest". . . #happyhalloween #halloween #halloweenhaunt #fearfest #canadaswonderland #rollercoaster #wildebeast #yukonstriker #behemoth #greenlasers #laserdisplay #pumpkins (at Halloween Haunt) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4SZAI1HbEu/?igshid=5tjc4y5ixhk1

Looking for Condos in Toronto? These 3 Tips will Ease your Hardships in this concern

Toronto is home to one of the biggest metropolitan areas in the world with a huge potential for the housing market and the real estate sector as a whole. Ever so often we hear a new development in Toronto which makes it a great place to live and enjoy life to the fullest. One of them is Canada’s Wonderland which will open this summer just outside Toronto. Its claim to fame: Yukon Striker, the world’s tallest dive roller coaster. At 245 feet high and a complete 360-degree loop, it will surely take your breath away.

It is these rides and theme parks which attract people from all over the country to Toronto to have fun in the summer. And some of them look for opportunities in this megapolis and try to find a place to live. There is no dearth of any type of places to live here but you need to be think deep, if you are trying to buy a piece of real estate here. It’s not just about the price but also the location and other factors which I will try to shed some light on in this blog now.

Looking for a Place to Live in Toronto

As mentioned before, it is not difficult to get a flat or a condo here for you and your family, but you just can’t buy such a place just like that. There are many things you need to consider as you are about to shell out hundreds of thousands of dollars. I have mentioned flats and condos as these are the pieces of real estate which are quite affordable for people like you as compared to big houses and mansions which can be really expensive for a person looking to start residing in Toronto for the first time.

1. Location

It is probably the best and most important reason for which many people look for a place in a big city. If it is close to the place where they do business or go for work, then it is really what they need to buy. Otherwise, there is no benefit for them. So, if you are also looking for a place to live in the most convenient of the places, you need to invest some time and effort into this. Or else you need to find a professional who can guide you here.

There are places near the downtown and the city center which are considered business districts and that’s where your emphasis should be. One of the places of interest here is like Yorkville condos for sale which you can get but for a premium price as compared to a number of other real estate projects in the same downtown or waterfront area of Toronto.

2. Price

Price can be an important factor for most of the people looking for a condo or a flat in downtown Toronto. Downtown is one of the most expensive neighborhoods in any city for its proximity to business district, options for shopping, places to hang out like restaurants, pubs, etc. In short, if you are looking for a lot of facilities and places to chill, then obviously the price will be on the higher side. There are many things that you need to sacrifice here if you want a condo for a low price.

3. A Luxurious Living

If you are looking for a luxurious place to live in Toronto, you are not alone. There are many places where you can get luxury condos for sale Toronto by finding appropriate location. It doesn’t matter if you are new to the city and want to live in a place with facilities that are on par with the best. While I have mentioned that most people looking to start a career in a big city may be short of cash and other resources, but it is not a given thing. You may be a big shot in your respective city and if you want to live in the same way like you have been living all your life, there is no harm in it, even if you have to shell some serious cash.

Final Word

If you want to ask something about this blog that is bothering you, you are welcome. You can also offer your valuable feedback here or add something to make this blog even better. Please use the comments section below in this concern. For more info please visit here.
