The Real American Amusement Park Experience

     I have been to a handful of amusement parks in my lifetime.  There's the Disney park system in Orlando, Universal Studios/Islands of Adventure, Hershey Park, Six Flag's Over Georgia, Six Flag's Over St. Louis, Dorney Park, etc.  

     As popular as the parks at Disney World are, the true American thrill can be found in the Six Flag's chain.  From the different countries at Epcot to Space Mountain at Magic Kingdom, Disney offers a great experience with varied attractions.  I love Disney, but when I am craving an amusement park experience, the first place I think of is Six Flag's.  Who really wants to sing "It's a Small World After All" on a rowboat going about a mile an hour?  Disney does have a handful of thrills, but they are cluttered with 3-D movies, kid zones, mild rides, etc.  There is too much creativity!  All a theme park needs is thrills.  Six Flag's understands this concept very well.  

     A real thrill-seeker must chose a park like Six Flag's because Six Flag's gets down to business.  Almost every ride at the Six Flag's I go to is an intense roller coaster.  I could care less about a dinosaur popping out at me if it means the ride will not be as fun.  I want my legs to dangle in the air and the wind to blow my hair as I look to the blue sky while riding a roller coaster.  I want back to back thrills, even if it means the risk of throwing up.  Real Americans go to amusement parks for many wild rides, and Six Flag's provides that experience.
