I've seen and heard that there have been quite a few accidents on different amusement park rides. My boys have been asking to go to great adventure and I'm not sure I want them to go now. I used to love going there and riding all of the rollercoasters and I want my sons to have the same experiences, but I'm really scared after everything I've heard lately. So I'm asking the opinions of all mylotters. I don't want them to be scared to try new things but I don't want them to get hurt either. Should we go and risk it or not?

I won't risk my children's well being for anything. That's just my opinion. After that 13 year old girl lost both of her legs last week on a ride, forget it. It's just not worth it to me. There are so many other safer things for kids to do anyway, so it's not a loss to them.

I totally agree. My son wants to go to six flags (which I have told him repeatedly no) and we are suppose to be taking a vacation to Orlando Florida next month so we have decided to skip Disneyworld altogether and just visit Seaworld. You just never know with all these accidents happening lately.

Thank you very much for your opinions. I am so torn right now just because I remember going as a kid and having so much fun. And even if we go down to the shore there's rides there and I know they are going to want to get on those rides.
