Um…hello? Is this thing on? Sorry, just making sure this still works. :-)
2 weekends ago, Sharron and I went to Lake Compounce with her work. Lake Compounce is a local amusement park. It’s pretty small, but it’s a really nice little local park. They have 3 roller coasters, 1 of which is really good, and a bunch of other fun little rides. About 1/3 of the park has water attractions and for the first time in nearly 10 years I went on a water slide. In fact, I went on ALL of the water slides. The park is one of the smallest parks I’ve been to, smaller by far than Enchanted Village/Wild Waves where I used to work in Washington. The smallest is probably Elich Gardens in Denver, but only by just a smidge.
Going to this park of course awakened my theme park bug. I love going to the various Six Flags parks and of course Disney. We have a Six Flags that’s within an hours drive from here and I’d LOVE to go! My plan is to take a day off of work and just spend it at the park (hopefully when there are no lines!). Nick and I did that back in 2003 for the Six Flags in Atlanta and it was Awesome! My problem is…nobody seems to be as interested in going as I am. I’ve asked nearly everyone I know and for most people, there’ s just not the allure to going that I seem to find.
I’ll keep looking for someone to go with, but if it starts to get too late in the year, I know that no matter what day of the week it is that there will be lines, so I’ll have to go before then…even if I have to go alone. That’s really no problem though as I rode almost all of the rides at Lake Compounce alone and it wa sn’t so bad. Well…maybe the water rides as I was probably twice as tall as the other riders. :-)
Sharron’s back prohibits her from riding most of the rides, so while it was be AWESOME to go with her, I know she’d be pretty bored waiting for me to get off of the roller coasters.
