Notice that Disney dominates the amusement park
world as the name is actually synonymous with entertainment.

Although I am no longer a roller coaster fanatic,
I like to take the family to
Six Flags theme
parks. It's fun. Most people can manage the water rides, if nothing else.
Even if older adults are not up to more than the
"train rides" we all can watch the younger members of the family and help
them have fun.
Everyone loves to take pictures at amusement
parks so bring your camera and take lots of pictures - capture the
memories, and never let the fun in your life fade. Everyone will be glad
you did. |
