30DBC January 20 Prompt: On this day in 1885, the roller coaster was patented by L.A. Thompson. Tell us about a time you visited an amusement park.

Looking at the screen is making me queasy for whatever reason today, so I'm gonna keep it short and simple. (More than two or three sentences, though, for our opinionated host. *Wink*)

One of my favorite amusement parks is one that's relatively close by: Holiday World and Splashin' Safari. (Kings Island is also close by, but I've never been--we pass it on our way to church almost every weekend, though.). I've been to Holiday World a few times, though, and I've always enjoyed going. Each time I go, I like to ride their three wooden coasters at least once each, starting from the least intense and moving up to "The Voyage", which is my fave. (Which, alas, I couldn't ride now if I went because of little peanut. *glares at stomach*)

Funny story, though. Each time we had an opportunity to go to the water park (Splashin' Safari), something came up where I wasn't allowed or didn't feel comfortable going in. The first time, I think Aunt Flo was visiting and I didn't have the proper tools to deal with it in a water park. Another time, I had poison ivy and had to wear the proper clothes and bandages to keep my rashes covered (so no bathing suit for me). The one time I was perfectly fine going, I think, we didn't have enough time (as we were on a school trip) or I didn't bring a bathing suit. I did want to ride the water coaster they had just opened, though, and was wearing appropriate enough clothes for it. However, as soon as we got to the front of the line...the ride was broken, and we received fast passes for the next weekend. Guess who wasn't coming next weekend? *Headbang* So I've never experienced the full-fledged fun that is Splashin' Safari...but I plan to, one day.
