The last one looks amazing, but so tall. Yikes, I still get scared, but once in awhile you just need to face it and gooooooo-oh!

Sure some lasted longer than others and all the twists and curves were different, but after I'd ridden a coaster once, I'd lost the desire to ever ride it again. When I was younger, I'd stand in the same line over and over to ride a coaster. After a few years a staying away from them, I tried again only to realize that the sensation was the same. :( <br />I'm glad that you enjoy them and hope you do so for a long time. I miss them.

HOWEVER, I LOVE theme parks and have been to a few on your list.<br /><br />I am a HUGE ORLANDO fan and frequent Universal/Islands of Adventure and Disney... I also greatly enjoyed boing back to Busch Gardens in Tampa a few years ago.

Too many back problems. Plus I don't like crowds. I'm probably better off staying as far away from theme parks as possible...unless it's Harry Potter world. That's my dream park!<br /><br />Have a great week!<br />JenJenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06683486631901017529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11634512.post-72710818593818500462015-10-27T07:24:52.339-04:002015-10-27T07:24:52.339-04:00Tamara, I'm not sure why they took it down.

So much bigger than Disneyland.<br /><br />Robyn, I didn't get to work up to big. My husband took me to Busch Gardens and dumped me on the Loch Nest Monster first thing.

It was, at one time and for a while, the biggest roller-coaster in the country. Or at least in CA. Right? Now, sounds like it's a kiddie-ride in comparison. I worked myself up to conquering my roller-coaster phobia one year, starting on the small coasters and eventually riding Colossus. I was very proud, though I need not do it again. You're much more of a thrill-seeker than I am, Diane.Rawknrobyn.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15997241410192066577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11634512.post-71655462188759162952015-10-26T23:14:22.335-04:002015-10-26T23:14:22.335-04:00We are such copycats in Oz.

Now that my kids are grown, I don't get to go to theme parks anymore, but I should. They are such fun. Disneyland is on my bucket list. I've been to EuroDisney in Paris, but I'm sure that falls well short. So small!

That's the park we used to go to when we lived in Maryland, and no one I talk to has heard of it (I live in Colorado now.) I went on the Grizzly with a back injury as a teen, and was out for the rest of the day. I didn't learn until adulthood that the back injury was actually a fractured spine, so I'd say I got really lucky that the ride didn't destroy my back even more. Or paralyze me. Still, I remember it fondly.Shannon Lawrencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00934641808195675935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11634512.post-33168619360580866962015-10-26T20:57:13.764-04:002015-10-26T20:57:13.764-04:00Should have guessed your theme!!
