I currently have visited 96 unique amusement parks across the world and I can honestly say that I have enjoyed each and every one of them (yes, even Little Amerricka). To me, every park has a completely different vibe and culture to it, which is what makes traveling to amusement parks feel like such an adventure. From the friendliness of Holiday World to the charm of a family-owned park like Knoebels to the not-so-charming charm of Six Flags America, every park is different.
As for the key feature here on the blog, I do also enjoy roller coasters. I have currently been on 504 unique roller coasters and I don’t plan on stopping anytime soon. I definitely have my favorites, but at this point there are a handful of coasters that I consider “elite.”
NOTE: Here at “Life Is A Roller Coaster,” everything is a constant work in progress. This page is going to be updated as news/trip reports are posted for each park.
