No I hate them.....they're too noisy and crowded and too many long lines.

I really enjoy the rides, but I have a very difficult time staying focused on getting to the ride and dealing with the lines/crowds/sounds. I also find that once the ride is over I have lost the stim and I get a bit upset...

I like the rides but I cant stand waiting an hour to ride ride them. I love being in a park right before closing. no lines and most of the time you can ride the ride twice.

I love them, but hate the crowds...which is funny because I don't think I would love them without being surrounded by people having fun. It's so confusing being me lol.

I like theme parks! They have the rides, junk food and the thrills. Even though I do not like line-ups and the crowds are terrible, I can somehow ignore that. I usually go with other people though because it's more fun.

About carnivals, I haven't really been to any other than this one in my city. I only been there once but I remember almost nothing about it. I heard I didn't enjoy though. I usually do not go to carnivals.

I've grown up going to our county's fair. I spend most of my birthdays there (depending on if it falls on my b-day or not.) I mainly go for the food and to look at the animals. I won't ride the rides and the carnies won't even try to get me to play the games since they know I won't play. I'll occasionally walk around with people but I have more fun alone. Can go at my own pace.

One of my special interests are scanner radios so I took my scanner with me to listen to the communications there.


I had deep fried oreos for the first time today at the fair. yum!

My friends love them, but I don't. I'm not scared of the big rides, but I hate having my body thrown around...I pretty much just close my eyes, grit my teeth and hope it's nearly over. My friends all talk about how much they enjoyed the ride, while I'm just glad to be off it.

I love theme park. I've been to Kennywood and Dollywood, but Disneyworld is my favorite. Maybe it's my pass at the guest services.
(although one of the shows does get you a little wet)

What makes me mad though is my family trying to cheat her way onto the rides I don't like by having me com along and get off last second.
It's not fair to those who have waited a whole hour just to ride.
Dollywood's the quietest theme park.

I LOVE them! I enjoy playing games, looking at animals, and riding the rides there.

I have been to Six Flags in Aurora, OH, as well as IX Indoor Amusement Park in Cleveland. I also went to Santa's Village, a Christmas-themed amusement park in Jefferson, NH. I would also go to a county fair in Lorain, OH every year to look at animals and buy things.

I hate thrill rides.

But, I love Disneyland (other than the crowds). I was always mesmerized with the quote, “Here you leave today and enter the world of yesterday, tomorrow, and fantasy.”

Only when it's outside and not crowded. It's a waste of money to pay to stand in line most of the time. If I wanted to stand in line all day, I could do it for free at the grocery store. I like the food, booze, and rides, but I don't like the crowds or lines. If I am in an enclosed crowded area, I get nervous, my heart beats faster, my mouth gets dry, I sweat, and I get short of breath. I have that feeling where I just want to find the nearest exit and run.
