We went to King’s Island yesterday. Its a fun ol theme park with a ton of coasters. It was only my second time going to King’s Island, my first was about a year ago. As soon as I walked in the park, my mind thought “ok, here we go, its time to have fun!” The next move was to grab some maps, one for everyone in the group. Then my sane side spoke up. “Ok, lets not be the theme park nazi today. I’ll just go with the flow.” For the most part, I held back my urge for theme park efficiency, wherein it is unacceptable to pass any one area of the park more than twice.
It the end it was a super fun day, totally wore me out. Got in the gate around 11am, stayed till the close at 10, and rode everything we wanted to. The crowds were mild and all of the lines were reasonable. Kyle, Julie, Rach and for part of the day Jen turned out to be one of the best groups of people to go theme parking with. If someone asked me what my favorite thing to spend a day doing, it would definitely be finding a good theme park and spend the day there. Growing up in a town with 7 major theme parks, it is my personal past time. I love it! Every day that ends with sitting in the front, riding The Beast at night and swallowing a couple lighting bugs has to be good!
