You don’t hear from them all winter. It’s like they go into hiding. More likely they go into maintenance mode and new construction mode, but they are doing their marketing planning because once warm weather approaches, here comes the TV commercials and more. Then they gear up for the big weekend. That is the fourth of July and with that usually brings fireworks. But what attracts us to these theme parks is the fun. The fun of getting scared out of our minds on gut churning roller coaster rides, haunted houses and some other death defying ride that isn’t for weak stomachs.

And it isn’t just rides. Some parks are also water parks. Slide down the winding water tube and slam into a pool of water. Stand under a pirate ship and get soaked with a bucket full of water. Swim or paddle boat on the lake if the park has one. Stay late and catch the entertainment. Musical acts take the stage making your entrance fee worth the price. Bored with the entertainment, get yourself over to the row of games lining up to take more of your money. You can drop a week’s pay trying to win the stuff animal you could easily buy for a tenth of the money it’s costing you to lose. But hey, that’s what makes these theme parks fun. It’s entertainment. So enjoy the day and who knows, you might just win the stuffed Panda.
