What's You Favorite Amusement Park Ride?

I’m feeling bored and depressed and when I feel this way I start daydreaming about the wonderful trips I’ve been on and the fun things I’ve done. Since my last several vacations have been to Florida with the family, including my grandkids, my thoughts soon turned to some of the great rides we’ve been on at the different parks, both the parks in Florida and some closer to home. Who wants to chat with a middle-aged pre-teen about roller-coasters and water rides? I LOVE the Hulk (Universal) and the Rock’n’Roller Coaster (MGM, Disney World) and Dueling Dragons (Islands of Adventure). Shiekrah and Montu are just two of my favorites of the dozen or so coasters at Busch Gardens, Tampa. I’m not just limited to roller-coasters…I also love the Tower of Terror and the Spiderman ride. I loved the Back to the Future ride but that’s been closed and my heart is broken! Anyone who thinks I’m too old for this kind of thing, think again…years ago my husband and I were at Busch Gardens riding Montu and there were hardly any people there so there was no line for the ride. An elderly man who was riding in the same row as we were told us to just stay on to ride again instead of going all the way around to reboard. He lived right in the Tampa area and he told us by the end of that month he’d take his 1000th ride; he was 75 years old! I hope that means I have a good 20 years of thrill rides left in me! OK, so what are your favorites and what good parks are near your home? Maybe your hometown will be my next vacation destination…got an extra bed? Annie
