Me and my kids LOVE spending all day at the amusement park here in Arkansas. Its only about 20 minutes away from our house and we have season passes. Its called Magic Springs and they just got some new owners about a month ago. The people who own Six Flags bought out Magic Springs. It is so much fun there! They have so many fun rides and a huge waterpark also. Do you have a certain favorite amusement park that you and your family go to? I would love to go to DisneyWorld again in Florida, havent been there in years!

Howdy neighbor! That is so cool! I live in Hot Springs, do you live near there? I heard that the new owners that bought Magic Springs are also the owners of Six Flags and that you can use your Magic Springs passes at Six Flags as well! I wonder how much truth there is to that? I'll have to do some investigating on that one! lol

Well, we do not have an Amusement park to speak of here close in the Seattle area, which is a shame. I always wondered why as well, unless it has something to do with the weather here. The closest Amusement park to us is Silverwood in Coure De'Laine Idaho. We have never been there, but would like to go this Summer if we can. A lot of it is depending on when our Condo sells if we can make it this yr. or not. It would be nice though. We have not been to an Amusement park now for 5 yrs. since we went to Chicago and went to Six Flags Great America. We had an awesome time while there. Just wish we lived closer to one like you do. We would have Season passes for there as well.

I love amusement parks. I have a blast with my 12 year old. I plan on taking her to at least one this summer. It's the one place where an adult can be a big kid and nobody seems to mind...lol. I went to Disneyland 20 years ago and would love to go again. I'm hoping to get my daughter there within the next couple of years.

Yes, I like amusement Parks very much. They're very recreational and entertaining places in the city. Me and my friends used to visit the amusement parks very often and we like to pay with the water games and also like to go on water rides and dangerous rides like roller coaster. Amusements parks are mostly liked by kids and families visit them very often. I like them since my childhood. I'm grown now and eventually these parks are also growing.

I used to love to go to amusement parks! I've never been to Disneyworld, or any of those kinds, but I did used to go to a place called Cedar Point, and other amusement parks. My favorite kind of park has the old-fashioned wooden roller coasters. While I love to ride those loopy roller coasters, nothing beats riding in the back car on one of the old wooden ones. Your heart stops a beat or two when the back car raises somewhat off the track. (Cheap thrills lol!!!) The closest park to where I live is a 3+ hour drive, so we don't go much anymore. Up until a few years ago, there was one much closer, but it shut down about a year ago.

We go to Valleyfair each year and love it. I am a huge fan and would love to try some other Amusement parks some day soon. Wont be going this year and am sad about that but being pregnant and going on rollercoasters is not such a good idea i guess lol.

I love amusement parks. I just hate going when it's incredibly hot outside. I really can't stand the heat. I love riding the rollercoasters the most but I really hate waiting in line. That's always the worst part of amusement parks.

I can't remember when was the last time I went to parks in my city. It wasn't my best part of hang out place. There's a new one in my city now and a lot of people go their, it's like one of the seven wonders of the world when it was first opened for public. hehehe.. so many people coming in and out. I've passed a lot of times there because it's located on a corner and it's a good way shortcuts.

I love to go to the amusement park too, its like remembering when you were a kid, enjoying the taste of an ice cream and just a stroll with a friend, releases some of the stress you have in a day or week, it makes me feel better when I go to these kind of places.

My Kids, my wife and I also like to go to amusement parks. It is where we all enjoy the rides, the food and shows (magic, diving etc...). It is a time where kids get time off from studying and parent like us gets to unwind from the pressures of work. you are lucky to be near one. Enjoy it!
