Swinging rides have always been a favorite of my Mother's. When
I was a child we'd ride these, get off and my Mom and I would run back around
and get on the next ride for hours. She is a big reason that I love
parks because of times like that. I also fell in love with coasters
because of her as I grew up hearing her tales of Riverview Park and how
amazing it's legendary Bobs coaster was. She used to ride it like
an enthusiast while my Dad was too terrified to ride even a kiddie coaster.
I get my thrill seeker genes from my Mom.
Mom can't do coasters anymore but whenever she can she still likes to take
a ride on the swings especially with her grandson.
Want to spank the monkey? Maybe he'll play the cymbals for you?
At about five all the freaks and scare actors came out giving Six Flags
Great America a frightful atmosphere. There were monsters, ghouls
and freaks everywhere which is a good thing.
