I rarely pass up the opportunity to go to an amusement park, especially one with good roller coasters. I always ask people what kind of rides they like before I plan a day at a park with them. I’m not a big fan of spinning rides but I love the thrill and speed of coasters. Some people don’t like old wooden ones, but I still ride them, especially the smoother ones like Thunder Lightning Racer at Hershey Park. I love racing coasters – they add even more excitement to a great ride, and the lines tend to move quickly – or really anything that’s a fun ride. The only ones I don’t like are the ones where you stand instead of sit. During treatment, amusement parks weren’t the most sanitary places to hang out, but I finally went to Kings Dominion a few weeks ago and rode my first roller coasters in years. Did you know roller coasters don’t run properly below 45 degrees? We didn’t either, until we arrived and it was only 39. We were a bit skeptical at first, but we watched them test one of the coasters and it rolled backwards when it didn’t have enough power for one of the hills. I also learned that my body forgot how to handle roller coasters. I didn’t feel sick, but I kept getting a little dizzy on the really fast ones or ones that had too many loops in a row. That’s never happened before, and I’m hoping as I regain more of my muscle back, they’ll pump my blood more effectively. I’ve been on a lot of great coasters but I think Volcano will always be my favorite. A few years ago, we saved it for last and decided to wait for the front row. If you’ve never ridden Volcano at night, I highly recommend it. It sends you flying up out of the volcano (there’s heat and everything) and you come out upside down so there’s nothing, not even the track, in your view. At night, you have a beautiful unobstructed view of the stars. Even though it only lasts a second, I remember it clearly years later. What are your favorite amusement parks? Any roller coaster recommendations?

I used to go to amusement parks whenever I could and always enjoyed riding the roller coasters. Don't know that I'd want to do it now--haven't ridden a coaster for nearly 20 years. I always preferred the wooden coasters. One of the best of these that I rode was at Canada's Wonderland outside Toronto. A sentimental favorite was the old coaster at Belmont Park in San Diego.

AuthorI’m Karen. I was originally diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) in August 2004 when I was 10 years old. When I was working on my college and scholarship application essays two years ago, I wrote about my journey. Although it was a rough few years, it became such an influential part of my life that I can’t, and wouldn’t want to, imagine my life without having had cancer. I called it the worst best thing that ever happened to me. Archives
