Who do you go with to amusement parks?

I find it difficult getting anyone to go to a park with me. None of my friends (and I have TONS of friends)or Family Members like parks except for my 5 year old nephue and I can't take him because he isn't tall enough. There is really no way for me to leave him for the few minuts it would take for me to enjoy a big coaster. When he is older...

So I almost always go by myself.

Last season, I took a 12 year old friend of the family (Known to anyone who remembers the TR as "Little Johny") to Hershey and had one of the best park trips of my life. It is so much fun going to parks with kids that age, because they tend to like parks as much as I do.

With that in mind, I really don't mind going by myself. If it's the only way, it's the only way.

I always go with my friends, my girlfriend, or family. It's no fun to go to a park with people you don't like (unless of course you don't have to hang around them).

I go with people I know will ride as much as I will. Haven't gotten the new girlfriend on Nitro yet, but she wants to. :) But all of last summer my coaster buddy was Davie the Luv Monkey, with a special appearance by ST Chick.

I usually go it alone. Most of my friends are not as insane about rides as I am, so they pass up the chance. Their loss I figure.

I am hoping to get all of my friends to go up to Knoebels with me for like a picnic in May.

I usually force my girlie to go with me. I bought her a pass this year on the condition that she goes and rides with me.

During fright fest, I was able to return the favor and bring my dad to SFGAm. He took me the hour drive there countless times each summer & I was finally able to bring him up there.

My brother asked what I wanted for xmas.. I told him to get himself a season pass for me.

I usually go with my younger brother, and we usually each bring a friend. I brought so many people to SFGAm this year with me I can't even remember everyone I brought.

Every year my mom, sister, aunt and I take our annual PKI trip so I go with them. In August my mom, dad, sister and I usually decide to hit another park. Sometimes I get to take a friend like this year at PKI or a couple of years ago to PKD and Cedar Point. Now that I have my licence, I can see many more trips with friends in the future.

Most of my coaster trips this summer were me and my Hag.... er... she prefers the term "fruit fly".

(That's her next to me in my CBuzz photo).

Well it depends on the visit it could be a family function that youre attending at the park or it could be a date at the beach boardwalk with your girl/boy friend or wife/husband.

I myself either go with my girlfriend or my friends and I make a couple trips with family too.

I have a great girlfriend that loves the amusement park feeling (you know that feeling you get inside while your at the park.. hard quality to find in some people?) and she loves riding coasters almost as much as I.... though after we went on a 7 park 11 day trip this past July she has been talking about going on a cruise next year.. Any tips on how to get her back on track.. I mentioned the Disney cruise and park combo but she gave me that look... Anyone ready for the Georgia, Carolina's, Virgina, Washington D.C. coaster tour next year.. I just might need to put her on a cruise and satisfy this coaster addiction on my own :)

LOL Tiggerman. We all have our "Grace's" don't we? I usually grab my girl Trice (aka Grace) and Tiffany (aka Karen) on my park excursions. they are a fun bunch
I always go alone. Its lonely yes... but no one complains about waiting in line!

Women was god's second mistake.

My fiancee is the most fun "coaster buddy" and I can't imagine not having her with me on a coaster trip. (unless I'm out of town for a work-related trip, then if there is a theme park in the area, I'll either go solo or find one or more guys in the class or seminar to go with). Sometimes in addition to us, a friend of two of ours may also come along.

We're getting married exactly 6 months from today, and when deciding on our wedding date, I mentioned when the ACE Coaster Con was to take place, and when it came down to choosing one or the other, we chose to do both! So our honeymoon will actually begin at the Coaster Con and I couldn't be any happier! :)

Belive it or not, I actually go with my Dad a lot! We get along really well, and he rides roller coasters (and hes learning several companies names!). Then again, if he didnt ride roller coasters, I would ditch him before you can say Intamin!

Ive also started to go with my neighbor to parks. She got her liscence last summer (and a car) so we have been to Dorney Park and SFGADV so far. In the future I look forward to more trips with her!

I go with anybody who will keep up with me and not wimp out. I do go to parks alone sometimes, but I usually end up meeting up with somebody or running into someone.
