Leoo Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 I don't know one person on TIF who is a theme park enthusiast. I am, I just love theme parks! There aren't many massive ones here in the England like there are in the America, but I have been to Cedar Point, Universal Studios and Six Flags and some european parks like Disneyland Paris and Europa Park. I live next to a little thrilling park called Thorpe Park, just outside London. I go there often and I also visit Chessington World of Adventures and Alton Towers over the year. What are you favourite theme parks/rides and what do you love about them. What do you plan on going in the furture? Discuss your experiences here or just generally discuss theme parks.

PoorLepRecon Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 I like theme parks as well. Roller coasters are of course my favorite part of theme parks. I plan on going to Cedar Point to ride the Top Thrill Dragster someday.

Tbfgraphx14 Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 I absolutely love Cedar Point, besides that I've only been to Michigan's Adventure. I love all the rides at Cedar Point and I go once a year, but I have not caught a ride on the Maverick yet :cry: I saw some friends that go to my school there that day and I went on the Top Thrill Dragster for the first time with them, so that was neat.

reaper88888 Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 I don't go to many themeparks anymore.. Last time I did, I got whiplash. :twss: I just like a ride on a wooden coaster now and then. Good enough for me. : There is no meaning or truth in life but that which we create for ourselves.

Kenshinjapan Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 Give me season passes and put in front of the line at every ride. Once you can do that, we'll talk ;) . Overpriced tickets and 30minute waits for rides keep me from being an enthusiast. YOU! ATTEND TET EVENTS! CLICK HERE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overpriced tickets and 30minute waits for rides keep me from being an enthusiast. 30 minute waits? Psh :P , I waited a good 1.5 hours each for the larger rides at Cedar Point, and it can get up to 4 hours for those devoted riders. But then again, I went in August, but it was a Monday. They used to have line passes where you could cut in line at a later time but they took it out. Also the funny thing is that a season pass pays for itself in 3-4 trips.

Lenticular_J Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 Theme park enthusiast who lives in England? Ouch. You need a country fair. Riding a ferris wheel put up in 3 hours is the best thing. Ever. catch it now so you can like it before it went so mainstream Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good enough for me. : I remember last time I went to six flags there was this one ride that shot people off hella fast and people would be talking with their heads not against the headrest. When it shot off their heads snapped against it and when they came by the second time I could see them rubbing their necks :lol: My carbon footprint is bigger than yours...and you know what they say about big feet. These are the times that try mens souls... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

das1330 Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 Tbfgraphx14, you obviously went on the wrong day. I live about 45 minutes from ceder point, and I go there several times a year. We go there is never more then a ~15 minute line for any particular ride, even the huge ones like the top thrill dragster. In general, I have always liked roller coasters. Living so near to the best park in the world for that has been convenient, but it kinda spoils it when you go to any other parks. I have visited several other theme parks and it's just boring in comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Von_Goon Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 Practically the only theme park in New Zealand is Rainbows End. It's rather small for that matter. Went to the Aussie Gold Coast when I was 9 and went to Dreamworld and Movieworld. Thoroughly enjoyed Dreamworld. Didn't go on many rides at Movieworld. The Pokémon section there was cool tho. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Da_Latios Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 I freaking hate roller coasters! I've never gone on anything bigger than those little kiddie ones where the minimum height is 10cm. BUT! Ever since I've gone bungy jumping, I've wanted to go on a few roller coasters - bungy jumping has somewhat eliminated my extreme fear of heights.

Faux Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 I dunno. I like theme parks, but I hate waiting in those hour-long queues that I only go to Wonderland once a year. They had this new ride called Behemoth and it was totally worth it. :: Guess the Movie Contest Champion: pfilc23 :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

assassin_696 Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 I love them, but my parents don't so I only go to them now and again with friends. That said I went to Disneyland Paris at young age and just remembered it being so special and magical, and went to the one in California slightly more recently and thought the same. I'm a complete sucker for Disney, it's easy to be cynical but I think they're such amazing places and if you just let yourself get carried away in it it's great fun. I've only been to Ligh[bleep]er Valley (mediocre apart from The Ultimate) and Alton Towers in England. Alton Towers was great fun despite the rain, Oblivion was pretty intense for a first ride there and Nemesis was probably my favourite.

loi86 Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 I live in Florida and have never been to a theme park and it would only take me about 30 minutes to get to one.

ember3579 Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 I live in Florida and have never been to a theme park and it would only take me about 30 minutes to get to one. But you guys live like hours from them and love going to them...I am confused. Simple human psychology. You're easily able to go to it at any time, so it doesn't seem as special. The rest of us have to pay out the [wagon] in both money and mileage in order to go, so it's very special. Of course, there's always a few exceptions, but most of humanity follows this trend. That said, I live a fairly short drive from 2 theme parks (Kennywood and Idlewild/Soak Zone), but I still love them. I would flip my lid if I got the chance to check out everything in every theme park worldwide. \ :thumbsup: :D You never know which rabbit hole you jump into will lead to Wonderland. - Ember3579Aku Soku Zan. - ShinsengumiYou wanna mess with me or my friends?
