Do you like theme parks?

Do you like theme parks? Do you have a favorite? Do you like roller coasters?

I like going once a year but I am not crazy about them. However, my parents used to take me to Hershey Park a lot and I love it there. I hope I can take my kids there one day. I went to Disney last year, and I was a bit disappointed with the park. It was as good as I remembered.

I love wooden roller coasters but I hate the crazy moderns ones. They just give me headaches.

I do. I used to live in Orlando, though, so we went frequently. I've never driven out of my way to go to a theme park. Well, last year we went to Disney Paris, but we were in Paris anyway.

I like Epcot and Islands of Adventure the most. I like roller coasters, but I don't do well on them. There's a roller coaster at IOA that I have to kind of just sit back or I feel like I'll pass out. The only wooden roller coaster I've ever been on (that I remember) made me feel sick. The roller coasters at Sea World are fun.

I like Epcot too. I didnt really like Hollywood Studios. We went the last week of September and my DH was complaining a bit about the crowds. I think we had to wait one time, 40 minutes to get on a ride. I told him that it was nothing and that in the summer, the place is crazy.

I don't care much for Hollywood Studios, either. Waiting for 40 minutes is not bad, but I'll be honest. I hate waiting to go on rides. I think I have a tolerance of about 20 minutes.

When we went to the one in Paris last year all the lines were long. We were there on halloween and it was ridiculously busy. A friend back home had given me a free pass to get in, but we had to wait well over 2 hours in line to exchange the pass for a ticket. Plus, it was our first time at a theme park with W. Between his naps, eating and diaper changes, we had enough time to go on 3 rides. And one of those three rides was more a train that goes around the whole park. Part of the reason we only went on 3 rides was because I didn't want to stand in long lines, I didn't want to have one person stay with W while the other rode, and I was ok with just walking around.

I like amusement parks, but I'm not a huge fan of going to Disneyland or other huge ones. I don't like rollercoasters too much though I am trying more nowadays. What I really like are water rides...like those log ones and one they had in Madrid where you're on a giant round floating thing and you go through a river...I'm bad at explaining, but I loved it.

Popcorn: You mean the River Rapids?? I love that ride too.

Do you like water parks? Yesterday, I read that there is a water slide in Brazil that is 41 meters high. Crazy!!!

I do and roller coasters too. The first time I went to one it was Disneyland Paris when I was little, it was called EuroDisney then.
When I was a little bit older I went to Gardaland (in Italy) with some friends and really enjoyed it.
More recently I visited the Hollywood Studios and really liked the bus tour. I was by myself so I enjoyed it as much as one can when being solo. Disneyworld and Legoland are on our bucket list too.

I like Disneyland. I don't like the theme parks centered around roller coasters. I don't ride them.

I do like water parks. It's a fun way to cool down in the heat.

I love theme parks. DH's job offered a discount to a local one that is only a couple miles away, so we have season passes and I'm there at least once a week. I love the really thrilling rides, like the upside down roller coasters I was just there yesterday for 8 hours.

I like amusement parks and I like roller coasters. I'm not into water parks, and I am not a fan of heights. It's one thing to zip through on a coaster and another to do those big drops and things where you linger way up high. I can't do Ferris wheels, unless you're really nice and enclosed London Eye style. The ones where the cars swing when you move and just have a little bar in front of you? Yeah, I don't do that.

I go to Tivoli several times a year, and now Bean is apparently old enough to be interested in rides. We went on Monday, and as soon as we walked past one, she started begging to go on it. Last year she didn't even notice them, and I hadn't mentioned anything to her about them, so I wasn't sure if I should bother getting her the ride pass or not. She had such a blast!

I love theme parks and have been to them in various places. Virginia has several good ones, King's Dominion and Busch Gardens, that I went to as a kid. I've also been to the Mall of America, several Six Flags, Adventureland in Iowa, several parts of DisneyWorld (though not Epcot), Universal Studios, Hershey Park, a bunch of local county fairs, Alton Towers in the UK and Tivoli. I have to say that Tivoli is among my favorites, but I can have a good time at most parks. I also really liked Disney's Animal Kingdom. I would like to go to Gardaland sometime.

I love roller coasters, water rides, all kinds. I'll be in line with the teenage boys going on the craziest new ride at whatever park I am at. I don't only ride the big thriller rides though, whenever I go to a park I try to ride nearly everything, so yeah, I love wooden coasters and gentler coasters too.

I LOVE theme parks! The year H and I got married and before we moved, we had season passes to SeaWorld. It's seriously one of my favorite places on Earth, and I can't wait until my kid is old enough to go to any theme parks.
