Would you go to an amusement park by yourself?

Post Reply New Topic

I'm too tall to ride on most (if not all) of the rides so I wouldn't go even if I had people to go with.

No. There are many things you can do alone but going to a place like an amusement park ain't one of them. Even a lone wolf like me would need someone to join the wolf pack.

Well going out alone has it's limits this is one of them, you really need somebody their .

Also don't go out to nightclubs/ bars alone and Asian restaurants ! A 2 headed green mutant would draw less attention, European bistros/ cafes are OK

What's wrong with going to an amusement park on your own? Not even the NTs can socialise on a damn roller coaster. Just go and have fun.

I went today. It was just all right. Better than what I usually do, but not as great as if I had gone with someone.

I think everyone is right to some degree. When you're on the rides by yourself, you can have fun. But in between, you're waiting on line, dodging the crowds, eating your lunch, or trying to strategically plan where to rent a locker. It's the in-between socializing that keeps the mood light, otherwise, these things just become annoyances. I spent about 5 hours, didn't even do that many rides, and I was done.

For the record, you're allowed to go on almost any ride by yourself - the water slides, the tilt a whirl, the roller coasters (although you must pair up). But not the ferris wheel.

I did it when I worked for six flags. It was alright since I go before work and it's was free. Sometimes I go with co-workers. But to go alone, spent $50, and have to ride all day by myself no way! Heck I don't even go to the movies by myself

While at amusement parks, I'm usually on my own. I even have a shirt that says 'single rider' to emphasize this in a humorous way. However, I more often than not spend the morning riding with my dad, who likes rollercoasters as much as I do. By the afternoon and evening though, I will ride alone since my appetite for thrills is younger and harder to quench then my dads. Interestingly enough, whenever I'm at one of these parks, the social anxiety that I feel in my every day life is either greatly reduced or entirely absent. I've often found my self chatting with total strangers while waiting in line, something that is rare in my every day life.
