Having Fun At The Amusement Park​

What was more thrilling than a day at the amusement park back in the day? From the moment you arrived, there was this electric feeling in the air—the sights, the sounds, the smell of popcorn and cotton candy, all mixing together. You couldn’t help but feel like you were stepping into a different world where the only rule was to be happy. And then there were the games. Trying your luck at the ring toss or shooting hoops, just for the chance to win a stuffed animal the size of your car. Even if you didn’t win, it was all part of the fun. Back then, it wasn’t about the biggest or fastest—it was about the pure joy of being a kid (or feeling like one), even if just for a day. Do you have fond memories of going to the amusement park?

I absolutely love amusement parks. I have never gone to one And not had a very good time. The one I remember being the most in awe of was in Chicago. You sat on a board suspended by two ropes and they raised you way up. We could see a lot of Lake Michigan and the surrounding area. I couldn’t figure out why the attendant ran after he raised us up. I soon found out. From the top it was a free fall and we were so heavy that he had kicked the landing platform out of the way so we wouldn’t get injured when we stopped. It was a beautiful ride and all ended well.
