Got a Theme Park?

[Bluhman]

2 choices for me:

A 45 minute drive towards the finger lakes, where the cheap, but effective Seabreeze park resides.

What they've got: Jackrabbit, Some spinny thing, Screamin' eagle, some rides you get wet on, something else.

I've rode Jackrabbit too many times to think it's very fun. I haven't gone on Screaming eagle, though. It's this huge, inverting, swinging ship. Blah.

OR

A 1 or more hour drive to buffalo where Six Flags: Darien lake is, which is mighty.

They've got: Superman, Boomerang, Some go-karts, some waterslides, a lot of games, DDR! YAY!

This is where I conquered my fear of turning upside down; on the ride Boomerang. It's just a non-looping track that you are brought up on one side, go through a ton of twists n' stuff, then go to the top, pause, then go back down through the whole thing all over again.

And then there's superman; that thing is insane. At the top of the first drop, my eyes were watering with fear and regret, as my head filled with the thought of "Oh. My. Gods." The first drop is seriously intimidating.

God damn that ride..... 35 seconds of pure pain I tells ya. I admit I'm 6' tall and I'm a little chubby (I still have more muscle weight though) I have no problems getting on coasters. I even fit in the seats better than most people with the lap bar down lower.

NO! I mean... the turn up-side-down turns you take and the speed it goes at causes problems for heavy and tall people. I was like 5"10 when I last rode it, and it hurt my neck like hell.

Reminds me of the Backlash. You go forward, and it slams your head everywhere, then you do the track backwards. My god, your neck hurts like hell.

The closest theme park here is Kenny Wood near Pittsburgh.

The rollercoasters they have are the Racers, JackRabbit, Exterminator, Phantom's Revenge <--[FREAKIN AWESOME!!!! Max speed of 85mph], and ThunderBolt<--[Has a vertical drop right at the end of the station].

They have the Pitt Fall and Pittsburgh Plunge, still fun stuff.

I went there last week.

I believe you mean Disney World. :p Busch Gardens Tampa is a pretty cool place. You go on Montu or Gwazi or Kumba? They're all good. I'm assuming SheiKra wasn't around yet when you were there.

Funny, that was the first one I went on. It didn't hurt me, but it wasn't very exciting. But even worse than that, DON'T go on Iron Dragon. I held my photo from Millenium Force on that ride, and I waited in a bit of a line for it. 'Twas an extremely crappy ride. Mean Streak and Gemini were both really good wooden ones, seeing as woodens are usually bumpy as hell, but these were nice and smooth. I wanted to get on Mantis/Raptor, but there's just too much to do in that park... it was like being in heaven... Oh yeah, Magnum is awesome too. It's much like Steel Force in Dorney Park (well they are under the same owner you know).

Bush Gardens in Williamsburg, Virginia is a tight park, the best ride was the big bad wolf
and then Paramount's Great America in Santa Clara, CA is another good park, the best rides where top gun and drop zone
-The quickest park to get to is sixflags (medussa)and then great america

Tivoli in Copenhagen, Denmark. kinda the only themepark around were I live (still 60 km away). But it rocks and unlike most other parks it's right in the middle of the city so you can go shopping on 'Strøget' afterwards (main street in Copenhagen). The Demon is my favorite rollercoaster, you kinda get a near-death experience when you're riding it.

Ive never been to sixflags and I am going soon and I wanted to know if the seats like

and
(http://www.pcwjunkies.com/images/parks/sfwoa/bkf_kev_john_brock_0600.jpg )

would fit some one around 190-210. I dont have a big stomach but kinda big thighs/butt. Just wondering. My bigger friend has been in seats like that fine.

I started the topic so I might as well respond.

Trust me. You'll fit. I have a big butt too, and let me say you'll fit better in the seats than most people. I'm guessing to be too big would be 250 with a beer gut and 270 without one. I've seen it happen. My dad is sounds about your size, he has trouble getting in the lapbar coasters (non-looping, wooden) cause he has long legs. If you're over 6ft tall, I'd say be careful.

Thanks =]  I'm only a 5'2.5'' (LIKE THE.5 MATTERS LOL)
& sorry it was kind of a dumb question.

I meant to ask (sorry so many questions) would it be basically the same for Superman:Ride Of Steel.

[aboutasoandthis]

Yes, yes it would. Have fun there!

[3nineteen]

Thanks & I will. Never been on a real rollercoaster  
But I'm not really scared of them lol.

For some reason I don't like theme parks, but I've never been to one. I also don't wanna go to one.

A theme park can go from a place with a lot of rollercoasters, to a place with a lot of shows, to a zoo, to a waterpark, to a penny arcade. Did you just not find your type or something?
