Yes I tried it once and was terrified and spent 10 minutes on the edge of the platform in New Zealand and only jumped when they said they had to close because I was the last jump of the day. Then there was a malfunction in the unit that made me dangle for over 5 minutes while they tried to get me down.

more than you and i make in our lifetime, combined.\n\nThe regulations, known as ARSA, requires amusement park operators to procure liability insurance in an amount not less than $300,000 before the operator can obtain a certificate of inspection for a particular amusement ride.  Without the certificate of inspection, the ride may not be operated.

I did in 1992. That was a long time ago so a lot has probably changed. I went with my mom to visit some family I had never met. I loved it there and had a lot of fun.

Make sure that your facilites( toilets/food stalls etc) are evenly spaced and your paths all join up to rides and facilities\nYour visitors to your park like places to sit and relax too so have plenty of seating around food stalls \nMake sure areas for maintainence are defined too, people wont like it if there is rubbish everywhere you can put in bins but they fill up fast\nCheck the "feelings" of your visitors too they actually tell you what they want and what is wrong\nGood luck have fun it's a very addictive game

Big D's comment made me yearn for the skyway at Walt Disney World.  It was a great makeout ride, but you had to either be shameless or anticipate the 110-degree turn from Fantasyland into Tomorrowland, but I don't think I could call it my favorite ride.\n\nSpaceship Earth at Epcot is another great makeout ride, though not as good as it once was.  The first 60-90 seconds used to be COMPLETELY pitch black...perfect for making out.  Now they've got little streaming lights in there to keep it from being pitch black, but I would guess it's still good for making out.  Haven't been able to try it since I was a sophomore in high school, though.\n\n"If You Had Wings" makes me wax nostalgic.  It was a lame ride, but it had two things going for it: a) back in the days when every ride required its own ABCD or E ticket, "If You Had Wings" was a "sponsored" ride, and you could ride it over and over without wasting any tickets.  I often chose to ride that several times while my parents went on the dumb old carousel of progress ("Heh heh...Oh, sport, you're such a funny old dog.")  b) There was this one particular scene in If You Had Wings where a caribbean cop in Bermuda shorts was "directing traffic".  In one direction you'd see a bunch of people crossing the street...in the other, it was geese flocking across to the other side.  Not very funny when I describe it, but something about it would tickle my funnybone every time I rode through.  (This ride is now "Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin, which is probably more fun than If You Had Wings, but it doesn't make me wax nostalgic).\n\nI also miss the Kitchen Kabaret at Epcot.  To be sure, the new Soarin' ride is cool (although they could have at least made a soarin' over Florida ride for Florida, instead of importing the movie from Disney's California Adventure), but I miss the broccoli yelling "Cha cha cha!" the finale.\n\nBut hands down, the best ride at Walt Disney World for me is SPAM (what we Disney folks affectionately nicknamed SPAce Mountain).  I came of age on and around that attraction, working it from age 18-20.  I learned a lot about life and a little 'bout love there (yes, I know, it sounds like the Chattahoochie river for you Alan Jackson fans).  The ride itself is amazing.  I often marveled at how folks would stand in line up to two hours sometimes for an experience that barely lasted two and a half minutes.  I was amused at the arguments that broke out about which side was better (the left-hand side is, in fact, about 15 feet longer than the right-hand side, but only in the track area between the unload station and the load station, so the amount of track YOU get to ride on is exactly the same on both sides, and they're mirror images of one another).  I loved identifying "9-14's" when I was working the load position or the dispatch tower.  But really, the relationships I forged with my coworkers and the lessons I learned while working at Space Mountain make it the ride that most defines Walt Disney World for me.  I know that ride like the back of my hand.  Even the sudden steep drop at Safety Brake #6 doesn't bother me because I know exactly where it is and when it's coming.  I know that it's scarrier to ride down with the lights ON.  I know that you should always put the McGugan bar up before you put the trains away.  I'll never see Space Mountain like a typical Disney Guest does again, but I wouldn't have it any other way.

Are there any amusement parks or water parks in your area?  i know that they hire 15 year olds sometimes 14 year olds with a recommendation.  It may be only to pick up trash and clean up the grounds, but it is better than nothing right?

I made my first trip to Cedar Point last summer with my church youth group and I loved it! I'm a roller coaster junkie, and there's no better place to go than Cedar Point for the world's best! I absolutely love it! \n\nNever been to Michigan's Adventure, but it looks nice! Shivering Timbers looks like a winner!

For me, it was when a friend of mine offered to push me around an amusement park in a wheelchair, just so I could go. I was 38 years old at the time and had disability come at the age of 34. I have a hard time accepting it. Anyway, I was going to stay home and not go on the field trip with our kids because I knew that I could not walk it. She offered, and then per-swayed me to go. We hung out all day and had a great time. She was totally unselfish in her act of kindness. She enjoyed my friendship enough to inconvenience herself. It meant the world to me.
