I was the kind of kid that stayed in the arcade playing Dance Dance Revolution all day instead of riding the roller coasters at theme parks. Roller coasters can't get me if I never ride them.

Those Wordles where it could be a dozen words that end with the same final four letters are such a pain.
My most memorable experience was going to Valleyfair in Minnesota and taking on what was one of the tallest rollercoasters in the world at the time as my first real rollercoaster. I was terribly afraid of heights, and as my mom has described it (many times), I cried all the way to the top on the first climb and then laughed hysterically for the remainder of the ride, through the all the loops and dives it was filled with. That's how I figured out I really loved rollercoasters!

An very old lady yelled at me for standing in the wrong spot (apparently in her way?) for the fireworks at the end of the day at Disney World's Magic Kingdom. Afterwards she also yelled at a small child and what I am assuming was her daughter. Apparently people can still be miserable pieces of shit in the happiest place on earth. I was just jazzed on my Buzz Lightyear Mickey ears and discovering Dole Whips.

Wow. Thanks for the playlist! That's awesome 😎.
No major amusement park issues. But I did catch the Covid this year at Universal in FL and had to drive me and my two kids home on a two day road trip back to Michigan with full blown symptoms. It was pretty much the worst two days of my life. But didn't happen at the park, I guess. And I managed to simultaneously isolate from them while feeding and caring for them without them ever getting sick. So they had their best vacation ever, and I suffered for it. Super Mom powers. 💪🏻

An ex girlfriend dragged me to Halloween Horror Nights at Universal a few years back. I played along despite being afraid of everything...until they wanted to do the exorcist house. So I bought a turkey leg and rode Transformers 8 times instead. 9/10 experience. No lines lol

Does anyone remember the „Lilo & Stitch“-experience, before it was rebranded to that? I went to it when it was still called „Alien Encounter“ and I remember it as a very un-Disney-esque straight up horror attraction with off-brand xenomorphs and, I‘m pretty sure I remember this correctly, warm water raining down on you at one point which was meant to be the blood of someone being slaughtered right above you. I saw this surrounded by grade-school-age kids and their parents, who started screaming the moment the theater turned to complete darkness, and dialled it up through all the alien/murder stuff. Still can‘t believe that was an actual Disney attraction.

There's probably more, but the one I'll never forget is The Mummy ride at Universal when I was maybe 14. Like everyone should be, I'm a big fan of Brendan Fraser Mummy movies, but I was just impressed that there was actual flames shooting out at me. Very rad.

Opryland, 1988-ish. After proceeding through their insectarium by the petting zoo, I begin having a severe allergic reaction to...something as I pass the giant hissing cockroaches with some nasty swelling. I got a wheelchair ride (my only to date) and a healthy dose of benedryl-like substance from the in-park med team. My mom felt so bad about it that I got to get a felt puppet/Muppet which I still have. I never really felt awful thankfully. The best guess as to the cause? A cleaning agent used in the animal area. A separate outing the same trip led me to clothes shopping with the legend, John R. Cash. Also during that mall trip, I picked up Excalibur #1. Excalibur, a puppet, AND Johnny Cash?! Probably the best family vacation ever!
Experiencing the Star Wars experience with my family and getting lucky enough to go through Rise of the Resistance. Blew us all away.
Harrison Ford and his entire extended family cut me in line at Six Flags. Kinda rude but it was very Han Solo of him, so I didn’t mind.
Are Spectators only made if someone dies unexpectedly, like they weren't ready yet to move on? I feel I'm starting to piece a few things together lol

Hallucinogenics at Disneyland was great fun.

Was in the Gravitron and there was a couple making out while inside. It was weird.
