Hate them.

Got dragged to Rainbow's End a year ago by my family when we were in Auckland. I persuaded my parents to get me a spectator pass because I wasn't going on any rides. I walked around a bit, really bored, frustrated about all the people and noise and squealing girls.
Eventually at one of the cafés in there I saw a poster saying a group called The Mad Hat Jazzers were going to be playing there that day. I stayed through their whole set (over an hour long) and it really helped me to get through it. They weren't loud and though they sounded just like all jazz students they were pretty good.


I've seen some half decent shows at some of the parks here but I much prefer the rides myself.

I love rides but I hate theme parks. I hate queueing for things and having to stand next to those wasp nest bins that they have at Alton Towers. I hate the sh***y food and the people everywhere too.

However, I love rollercoasters. I don't so much like the rides that just make you sick like the waltzers and the tea cups. I prefer ones that feel dangerous, but have lots of safety harnesses. :-)

Well AT is one of the UK's more popular parks when compared to some of the others so it's no suprise that they're pretty busy.Sure the food at most parks stinks & is over priced but there's not much you can really do other than eat it.

I hate stuff like Six Flags or Disney anything. I used to have to go to places like that- ewwww. I do love the State Fair though (looking at the animals and agricultural products, etc) but I go early in the day on a weekday and leave before the massive hordes arrive.

I love theme parks. Disneyland and Calif adventure are great. However I like fast rides like space mountain and muholland madness but anything that spins or goes upside down i do not like. I went on the Rockets in Tomorrowland last month and it was pure torture.

We are going back in the next week or so, we have passes there.
