Who likes to go? :D

We went to Carowinds today. And despite 3 big roller coasters being closed (:() we still had a fun time. Carowinds was small because I'm so used to going to Cedar Point all the time. Lines were short because it's still early in the season.

I rode the Hurler over and over and over again and now my neck hurts. That's quite possibly the best name for a roller coaster ever. :laugh:

Hersheypark is magical. I want to go back one day. :greenie:

I love Disneyland with all my heart. You haven't seen magical until you've seen the Disneyland Christmas fireworks. Sooo beautiful. <3

Disneyland is the best but I don't really like the fast ones.

I love Orlando Studios, Dollywood, and Magic Springs.

Roller coasters are great, but where can I find my Yar? =(

Amusement parks are fun, I guess, but I can't take roller coasters. They make me uncomfortable, seeing as I get carsick on the way over anyway.

You went to Carowinds today. I have a brother that lives around there. I've only been to Carowinds and Six Flags for theme parks. I would like to go to Disney World someday, before I grow old. I sort of liked that ride at Carowinds, the roller coaster that shakes the whole time, I forgot what it's called, but it looks like it could collapse at any minute.

Splash Mountain at Disneyland is the best roller coaster for me! It's not fast and terrifying, and it has water! I love splashes!

The Superman ride at a Six Flags in California was fun for me, too, but the roller coasters there scared me too much. I especially hate Goliath, because it's really scary.

Goliath made me pee a little.

As long as it doesn't flip, I hate that.

I went to Euro Disney once and it was great and all, but there were too many people. I'm too old to wait 30 minutes in line for every ride. It was nice to walk around in, but I want some action too.

Liseberg in Gothenburg is pretty great, especially when it's cloudy so there ain't too many people around.

The only other amusement parks I've been to are Norwegian and they all suck.

Disney Paris sucks, line wise. >:[

The hotel is pretty good though.

I reaaaaally liked the Mamba at Worlds of Fun. At Magic Springs, there's a couple of good ones, the Arkansas Twister, the X-Factor, and this other one that I don't remember the name of. The second one was cool because you get strapped in and your feet just dangle, there's no floor beneath :D

I used to enjoy roller coasters and the like a lot, but I just don't anymore. Waiting in line forever to get a few minutes of the wind pissing in my face lost its appeal.

Roller coasters are fun, except for wooden ones that are shaky and make me think I am about to hit my head on the frame every ten seconds. :D

I <3 roller coasters and such rides. There's no such thing as "too scary" for me. Unfortunately I've been to very few. But once I worked at a theme park as a supervisor for three years and it was the responsibility of one of the supervisors to do a test ride of the rollercoaster each morning before the park opened; I made sure to make that MY responsibility. :)

It's okay though. I got a season pass and I'll probably come back down next month or so. :D

My grandma took some pictures of me, so I'll have to raid her camera. :love: I wore some jeans, a yellow shirt a sweater a sunglasses. I also did my hair. xD I thought I looked fine until I saw my on-ride photo on the Hurler. I looked like a lost Dateline Internet predator. :(

I hated Canada's Wonderland when I was twelve, so I assume I hate all amusement parks. Also I've never been on a roller coaster.

I love Disneyland, specifically Splash Mountain. I could ride that thing all day and be completely happy with it. The last time I was at Disneyland was a Christmas when I was younger, right after my grandfather died. My grandmother couldn't handle the first Christmas without him (he loved the holiday) so we didn't celebrate it. Instead we went to Disneyland. It was fun.

Six Flags is okay.

I'm a fan of Cedar Point. I used to go there every summer but I just haven't found the money to do so the past few years. Right now I'm pretty close to hershey park. And my boyfriend says we're going to go to six flags sometime! I'm pretty excited .:) so far though cedar point is my favourite. then disney parks of all kinds of varieties. then wonderland up near toronto. (that place is pretty tame compared to cedar point. i thnk that's why it took rank 3.)

You got sheeted man. After burn is by far the best one in my humble opinon. i havent got to ride the new coaster yet. but i had a season pass last year and thunder rd. was cloesd all season i dont know whats up with that :(.

Anywho ive been to disney world in fl and i didnt like it as good as carowinds because not as many Roller coasters and the lines there are outragious even with that fast pass thing. stupid lines :mad:

I've had the pleasure of going to various amusement parks across the U.S. and hopefully soon across the world. I'm a coaster rider. I only go for the coasters not those lame kiddy rides.

The only amusement park I've ever been to is Canada's Wonderland, but man I love going to that place.

Rollercoasters are one of my favorite things in the worrrrrld. Anything inverted or stand-up or with water is totally awesome. Actually, anything that makes me feel vertigo is awesome.
