Same here. Basically I can't do most amusement park rides in general...horrible problems with motion sickness.

Best theme park I've been to is either Alton Towers or Thorpe Park. Nemesis and Nemesis Inferno rule!

The best theme park I've ever been to is either Alton Towers or Busch Gardens. The best rolleroaster I've been on is Kumba, back in 1995.

I absolutely love Theme Parks it is one thing in life i really enjoy doing is going to Theme Parks i could go on any sort of ride Tower Rides,Water Rides,Scary Rides and Rollercoasters.
The answer to the question though is YES i like rollercoasters.
I am lucky enough that i get to go to Theme Parks quite often when they are open that is not just in England but all over the world.

I'm in Carmel! My mom and I just moved here about a year and a half or so ago. I used to live on the east side so that's why we still go down to that area. We typically don't make it down to the southside though. But we have been going to Greenwood a lot lately. My mom loves the J.C. Penney Home Store there!


That's cool :) ... I'm hoping to get back to Indiana sometime to visit my family.


As for roller coasters, I think it's been at least 8 years since I've ridden one. But I would do it again if I had an opportunity.

I lost my virginity on the Loch Ness Monster when I was 9, so that is my favorite. Two interlocking loops out over the water. Plus a great park in Busch Gardens - Williamsburg. I road it 10 times in a row on its 10th Anniversary. I also love the Volcano at Kings Dominion. When I worked at Kentucky Kingdom, I got to ride them in the morning when the maintenance crew revved them up. No lines and any seat. On Employee Job Swap Day I got to run the Vampire. Roller Coasters rule, but I prefer upside down twisting over lame, rickety wooden ones. I forget the name of the one at King's Island I liked. We went there for our department at Kentucky Kingdom to learn how they did things in there Horticulture Department, which was what I did. A few hours touring their facilities and the rest of the day free to play, including admission. I was getting paid too! In HS, our Physics class went to Busch Gardens and took measurements and calculated velocities, forces, etc. for an assignment. That was fun!! !
