amusement parks

Elitch Gardens used to be our go to place during the summer when I was a teenager. We bought season passes and we were there probably 3-4 times a week. By far, my favorite rides were the Mind Eraser and the Tower of Doom. That drop on the tower was the best feeling ever along with sight of the Denver skyline...

I grew up going to this amusement park every summer, and in 2016, with the debut of their latest coaster, this park is set to break 10 world records.

I didn't know these mermaids existed. My toddler will be so happy, because she was quite disappointed when I told her she could not be a mermaid when she grew up.

Would you want to ride a roller coaster whose sheer force has been ripping the limbs off of crash test dummies? Or one that has been described by a fighter pilot who was given a preview as “gut-wrenching”? Visitors to Thorpe Park in England will have to make that decision in a couple weeks when The Swarm roller coaster opens to the public.
