Adult Amusement

A recent trip to Six Flags Over Georgia, one of our favorite amusement parks, proved to be just as much fun as ever!  My husband and I found ourselves as giddy as the teenagers who stood in line with us, waiting to board a ride “for the thrill and excitement.”  Located just west of Atlanta, Six Flags provides an abundance of family-friendly entertainment.  This popular theme park, one of Georgia’s favorite places to visit, creates memories to behold.  It certainly does for us.  My husband was a kid all over again driving the bumper cars; I was a willing passenger along for the ride; our other favorite attractions did not disappoint either.  Sitting at the picnic table eating hot dogs gave us a chance to rest a bit before enjoying more activities. Having visited the 290-acre park for over 40 years, I can truly say that I look forward to our annual visit, and a day of adventure – true adult amusement!

With a past history of challenges to its operation, Coney Island in Cincinnati refused to give up.  It had to survive things such as major floods, its businessman owner, Ronald Walker, passed away unexpectedly, its rebuilding process was slow, potential investors were hesitant due to the flood zone location of the park, etc. However, not only did the park survive, it is now thriving.  I have first hand knowledge after recently attending my family’s 48th reunion at the location with my husband and son.  With over one hundred family members in attendance, we had good, wholesome, family fun – thanks to a beloved amusement park that helps create memories.  Having the Ohio River as one of the backdrops was simply beautiful.  If you like relaxing in style, amusement rides, games, picnic food – just good ole fashion fun, check out Coney Island Park.  Being there was something our family could experience together and enjoy a day of excitement and entertainment.
