    We've all heard of them. Disney World, Cedar Point, Six Flags. Amusement parks are all over the world and tend to be hotspots to visit. Have you ever been to an amusement park before? Do you like going to them? Which ones have you been to? Do you like them? What's your favorite?

    I've been to Six Flags a few times and honestly after the first time there was no need for me to go for a second time. It wasn't really that great and I love to have fun and love riding those death traps that are called rollarcoasters. I mean for 7 year olds it was pretty good, but other wise no thank you.

    There are a couple in my state that I've been to. They're pretty fun, and close enough for a day trip. =D I haven't been for a while though...

    Disney World is amazing, but I haven't been there in years either.

    I've been to a local amusement park called Thrillville (nothing to do with the video game), numerous times before it was closed down. I've been to Disney Land once in Cali and Circus Circus in Las Vegas. I generally enjoy all amusement parks. Haven't had a single problem yet. If in the right mood, I like going to them.

    Hmm, I'm not a huge fan of amusement parks. Reason? I HATE rollercoasters. I don't get sick but I get really queasy on them. For some reason log rides are fine, but I avoid most rollercoasters. If there was a theme park that I would go back to it would be MovieWorld, since they managed to make rollercoasters that I could ride without feeling sick, and they made them pretty cool.

    On our band trip last year, we went down to Utah and we were going to go to Lagoon. Sadly, it rained and stuff and we didn't go.

    When I was a wee lad, I went to Disney World in Florida and as you can imagine, that place is a whole ton of fun. I'm a huge fan of amusement parks.

    I love theme parks, and am a huge fan roller coasters. We go to them fairly often, and my dad and I will always grab a park map and make a beeline directly for whatever ride seems to be the most intense. The best so far has been Cedar Point, AKA America's Roller Coast. I've been to many others, but Cedar Point remains to be my favorite.

    Amusement parks are pretty fun, but the lines are soooooooo long. Thank goodness for fast passes. I think my favorite park is California's Great America. It's pretty large, and they make amazing funnel cakes. It's also the closest to where I live, and it's such a great time with the lights and awesome rides.

    I'm not really fond of them
    I find them stressful? Mostly because the crowds of people, and I'm not really big on rides anyway.

    I've been to plenty, I'm always too scared to go on the rides though. I'm a bit of a wimp when it comes to that.

    yessssssssss i love amusement parkssss
    ive been to so many i don't know where to start!

    my all time favourite ride is the tower one where you slowly move up... and then come crashing down
    the first time i rode it, i got so panicked i couldn't undo the safety bars.. so i was stuck on..
    for another ride.....

    milder ones like the spinning carousel-swing-thing (god am i bad at describing rides) and the teacups are nice too, though.

    I hate heights, but I'd do it for Rollercoasters. My favorite mainstream Rollercoaster park would be Six Flags, NJ. Besides that, It'd be Luna Park, NYC. It's small, and quiet, and within distance.
    I'm too chicken to go on King The Ka However. I just can't.

    I have not been to an amusement park ever since becoming an adult. There is very little thrill, it's ludicrously expensive, and I don't really know anyone who I'd even be willing to invite along with me. But, as always, money and time are the main objects. Unless I found a very convincing reason to spend my money and time there, instead of elsewhere (and it is incredibly hard to convince me of such a reason), I would not go to one.

    I'm usually a pretty introverted person who enjoys quiet scenery so amusement parks aren't my thing though I love the spinning swing rides.. we had one in my local amusement park as a kid and it was so amazing to go on. Feeling the breeze on me was really lovely and it wasn't scary at all. Have yet to go to any of those more well-known amusement parks but it would be fun to go at some point just to say I've had that experience. :3 ...eventually lol. Someone invite me! ;c;

    Have I been to an amusement park? Yes. Did I enjoy it? Heck no! It wasn't just because of the rides, they were awesome, but rather the crowds. It's those places people decide to walk slower than a turtle and you're walking behind them and there's no way around them and you're just like 'AAAAAUUUUGGGHHH get the frick outta my way!' That and I have this awful fear of people touching me from behind or being where I know they're there but I can't see them.
    That and I've got really bad anger issues and I can be voilent...so...not the best idea to put me in a crowd....just sayin'.

    I always try to set aside a full day to go to amusement parks if the countries I visit have them. It's one of the must-go places for me, if my schedule permits. So far, I've been to Disneyland, Universal Studios, and Legoland. I really love going on rides, especially roller coasters and those that make me have adrenaline rushes haha. Water rides are cool too! I especially enjoy the Jurassic Park one in Universal Studios, Singapore.

    I've never been to an amusement park. Nor do I think I will ever go to one. I can get really bad motion sickness, so that's a killer.
