My mom and I used to go to Hershey Park every summer when we'd drive up to PA (visiting friends), then continue to NY (visiting family)! I loved the town of Hershey so much. The factory tour was the best!!Originally Posted by lisalee
I love amusement parks!I've been to Hershey Park in PA, Six Flags Great Adventure in NJ and Dorney Park is the closest to me in PA. I used to go on any ride, even the one that holds you upside down but I can't tolerate them anymore now that I'm older and a little more fearful of things. I stick to the simple ones now, but I always enjoy going to amusement parks and hope to this summer.
Interesting... I thought you'd be all for that kind of stuff Kelly!
Awww, the "woodies" as they are called among coaster enthusiasts are the best. To me, steel coasters, even though they are smoother, do not fully capture that true coaster experience, but I love all coasters, wood or steel. Woodies just have that great shake, rattle and roll experience and of course, a true coaster fan will even say they they smell good too. The smell of the wood combined with the coaster greese just add to the overall ride experience, not to mention that wonderful clackity clack sound as the train climbs the lift hill. Mean Streak is a true wooden coaster, but Gemini is NOT a wood coaster, it is actually classified as a steel coaster. Here is the difference. A coaster is classified by the TRACK the train rides on and not the structure. Mean streak has a wood structure and a wooden track. Gemini has a wood structure with a steel tubular track, so the ride experience is like riding a steel coaster. The Comet at the Great Escape and the Coney Island Cyclone in New York are 2 examples of coasters with a steel structure, but they have wood tracks. So, they are classified as wood coasters. Some people will not ride a coaster because they will say, did you see how the structure moves when the train goes by? This is normal and MUST happen, otherwise the structure would fall apart. So any movement you see in a coasters structure is nothing to worry about. It is more or less like a built in shock absorber for the ride's structure. Just a bit of coaster education if anyone was interested

Anyway, I personally like roller coasters. That is one good thing about central Florida - a theme park with a good roller coaster is never far away. In Tampa, Busch Gardens has 4, and a brand new one just opened up.
Disney World (and every other attraction there) in Orlando have lots, too.
Once my best friend and I did a spur-of-the-moment weekend trip to Atlanta just to go to Six Flags and ride the coasters there.
Lots of fun!
I had no idea large breast could cause such a problem.Originally Posted by mferr84
well, i figure every other thread on this site at the current time is breast-themed... so....
i absolutley love every kind of ride that there is... unfortunatley, because of my boob-size(pre-surgery) i couldnt ride anything that had that over the shoulder saftey things... they couldnt get them in the locked position because my chest stuck out to far... and unfortunatley i coudlnt move them to the side or anything....
that was embarrassing
but now... i ride everything in the park, one right after the other, sometimes twice
Yep, learned something new. I thought the only problems were staring problems!
