Exactly.

I've always figured if God decides to punch my ticket while I'm zooming around on an amazing coaster, at least He sent me off with a real bang! (Or should I say, a ZOOM.) 🎢

Now as a matter of history...
I have an older brother.

When we were kids he was always just a bit bigger and stronger. 18months older....so I could never beat him in a race or skill contest.
BUT
I had a better ability to not get sick or dizzy like he did. And the teacup ride where you spun yourself was my favorite ride. He couldn't take it....he did good to crawl off of it.

Just brothers being brothers.

He he he....I bounced off that one smiling and wanting to go again...but my brother was not in favor of it as soon as he got his head back....and he was begging for me to slow the spinning. (Big disk in the center everyone held of the cup is how you could make it go spinning faster or slower) I had that thing going as fast as my arms could make it go.

theres no ferris wheel at Rainbows End?!

I went the other day before the rain came. I went on the roller coaster but just once. My tummy felt it...!
The goldrush ride was new and went on that twice but didnt like when it stops suddenly...whiplash?!

I always liked the log flume. Dodgem cars were fun too.

I was too scared to go on the one that drops and the other extreme ones like the stratofear, but then I had children with me who would have been too small to go on it.

as for cats haha I never saw them on the rollercoaster...

the ferris wheels are in the states. there are smaller ferris wheels in the travelling carnivals in nz too. the ladies from grease made riding a ferris wheel look so easy. but its not. its actually the worst ride ive ever been on. and its slow as so youre suffering for a while. 🤢💀😨

Y'all done be riding that ferris wheel the wrong way. Even I know the ferris wheel is for smooching your girlfriend on.

Even the Japanese have caught on. Some of the JRPGs had a ferris wheel in the dating scene.

Has anyone been in the London eye or the Singapore eye? Giant ferris wheel. I am sure some might be concerned should it stop and they stuck at the top.

Otherwise just driving on NZ hilly and windy roads is a bit of a rollercoaster . Theres tunnels and causeways, oh and dont forget the fun of spaghetti junction! Watch out for surface flooding and landslips!

Always go on the Small Small World. Kind of laid back but amusing.

ok I went on some more

verdict on small small world...the song will get stuck in your head and about half way through you may want to get off to go to the loo but you cant you are trapped! They did have a set piece showing nz though so that was nice to see.

Ariels undersea adventure was quite cute though I wonder if the animtronic robots are necessary for the human parts, but I guess nobody wants to dress in a mermaids outfit and sit there looking pretty all day. I like the cute clamshell cars that turn around to show you the scenes.

I heard that one water theme park in Orlando is closed because of the icy weather....

I like the flying fox but one in which you dont need a ladder to get off.

I guess Im more of a swings and roundabouts person that dont require any electricity or someone pushing a button to operate.
