You know I'm in that commercial. If you look real close you can see me waving. I'm wearing a shirt and some pants. I'm waving my left hand because I'm left handed. And I have a pinky ring.

You're talking about the Wild Mouse, right?

In fact, we had our 8th grade Immaculate Conception in Secaucus NJ field trip there too. On that trip I went in the Tunnel of Love with Kathy Keller. Just when we started kissing it seemed like the ride was about to end. So I stuck my leg out and stopped the boat bracing it against something I could reach. We heard a big snap like some kind of chain broke or something. Very shortly the lights came on and everyone had to evacuate.

ah, the good times

I lived at Lake Tamarack off of Route 23, it was an annual trip for the kids.

Anybody visit Glen Echo in Maryland?

When my kids were just tots we use to go to Rahobeth beach on vacation and share a house with some neighbors. We packed that house pretty tight. They had the best little kid rides and cheap too. We went to some place for pizza and pitchers of beer that was the best. It started with an R.

Yep, many times. Remember the carousel and the big pool. I think it is an arts area now.

Also, Marshall Hall in the DC area.... They used to do Helicopter rides.

We live in The Village of Dunedin in the cold months an during the summer months live at Duck Creek RV Resort in our motor home. We are directly across the street from Michigan's Adventure which is an amusement park owned by Cedar Point so I need to vote for Michigan's Adventure in Muskegon, Michigan

Sadly neither of these is in operation today....

Bertrand's Island. The best Roller coaster I remember nickel night

Most recently, Tivoli Gardens. As a child, Disneyland. I was 13 years old and visited there the year it opened, 1955.

Yes, I did when I lived in the DC area back in the 1960's. Went to Marshall Hall as well. Both were nice parks back then.
