I just got back from Enchanted Kingdom last night and I'm very tired! The last time I went there was many many years ago (when I was still a kid). I love going to amusement parks. My favorite rides are the bump car, log jam and roller coaster! In Enchanted Kingdom, I also love riding Anchors Away and Rio Grande. In Hong Kong, I missed riding the cable car. The Rialto experience was also memorable. My boyfriend and I stayed there for almost 7 hours that's why I immediately fell asleep when I got home (the first night I didn't log in to mylot.lol) How about you? What's your favorite thing to do in amusement parks? What are your favorite rides? :D

Hi pierrella. That's so good you guys had a blast and enjoyed your stay at Enchanted Kingdom. What I love about in an amusement parks are the challenging rides that freaks me out and make want to overcome it. I love Space Seattle so much that I rode it several times and got very dizzy afterwards, lol. It's fun to go there most especially when you're with a group of friends. Only then you will realize those who are afraid and chicken-out to try the rides, lol! Lastly, I'd love to see the fireworks like, everyone stops down for awhile, grabs their cameras to capture the moment and just enjoy it until it's done. It's true that it's very tiring but the experience and adventure is just priceless. :)

I'd love to see the fireworks. But we went on a Friday hoping that there wouldn't be so many people but we were wrong. There was a company outing! lol. Oh well, I'll enjoy the fireworks next time :)

Some companies do that...but the thing is, they are too many! They even brought buses with them

A company outing on Enchanted Kingdom? That's kinda unusual for me, don't you think? ;p Yeah, I'm sure you and your boyfriend will see that very, very soon. :)

I love bump cars and roller coaster, the first I got to ride roller coaster was really fun together with my cousins we give it a try, I was actually so nervous at first specially when it will go down from the top, I was like screaming really loud because my heart would burst out with so much nervousness... Totally it was so FUN, sometimes facing your greatest fears is fulfilling!!!

I love theme parks. there aren't any good ones near me, but there's a few quite close to where I used to live, so sometimes when I visit friends we go there, and we do take the occasional trip to Alton Towers, which is a long way north of us, but it's THE big one in the UK. I can't wait to go again and ride 13, which looks amazing. I actually had my hen weekend at Alton Towers, and we stayed at the hotel in their Sleepover Suite, so we spent the days at the park in Pyjamas and dressing gowns, which was great fun. my favourite theme park is Alton Towers, but my favourite ride is Saw at Thorpe Park, which is one of the parks near where I used to live.

It sounds fun :) Theme parks become more interesting when you have a place to sleep. Going around in pajamas is really cool. :)

I never ben to Enchanted Kingdom lucky you. I only visited Star City. I love the roller coaster. Actually I do not like to ride in a rollercoaster because I was scared before.It is like I was thrown upside down non-stop. But as they say, if you are really stressed , worn-out or just want to scream loud, then riding a rollercoaster is just perfect for you. Well, back to the topic, what are the rides I enjoy on amusement park, the answer is bump car. I really enjoy it. It is like riding your own car and you wouldn't believe I don't want to be bumped. When I am near to it I can avoid it instantly.

Hi! Your post reminded me of my last trip at Enchanted Kingdom. I was there with my now-bf, but then-suitor. It was fun and memorable because there were so few people!!! We rode the Log Jam (?) twice without having to get off and line up again. We rode almost all the fun rides twice! Since there was a line at the Rio Grande, we couldn't do the same. But the line was really short so we were able to ride it twice in a span of 30 minutes! My favorite rides at EK are the Anchors Away, Log Jam, and Rio Grande. I haven't ridden the Space Shuttle (and I feel really lucky that it's always under maintenance when I'm there). I think I will die. lol.

Wow, congrats to you! So was it a date then? lol! Lucky you that there were a few people. Yesterday, it was jam packed! There was a company outing at Enchanted Kingdom and there were so many people! It took us around 30 minutes to ride the ferris wheel.

There's not any of those kinds of big name amusement parks anywhere around here except for a 4 hour drive away. There is a park though that's not well known, yet it has almost all the same kinds of rides. My absolute favorite is the roller coaster! Not the super coasters, but the old fashioned kind built of wood platforms, it's a totally different experience. I always either choose the front car, or the last car. On an old wooden roller coaster, the back car actually hops off the track when hitting certain places in the ride. (Talk about a brain rush!) I love the bumper cars too. The one thing I absolutely won't go on is one of those cable cars (the kind that hangs from one pole on a track.) Many years ago my girls and I were stuck on one when a really bad storm came up. The winds pushed us almost sideways hanging there, and I said never again lol. Hope I can get to Disney some day, I hear it's great!

I have been to Disneyland, Enchanted Kingdom and Ocean Park. It was back in 2005 when i first visited Hongkong Disneyland. I must admit that I didn't really enjoy the HK Disneyland trip because it didn't meet my expectations. To tell you frankly, Enchanted Kingdom and Ocean Park are way better.. What I love about Ocean Park is that there are many exciting rides to choose from. plus, the gigantic aquariums that you and your family can truly enjoy! i enjoyed the cable car ride the most because i was able to see the breathtaking view of the sea and the mountains. Enchanted Kingdom is the Philippines' first and only theme park. I have been there for several times already. My favorite rides are flying fiesta, rio grande rapids, bump car, up, up and away and rialto. apart from the rides, i also enjoy the wide range of resturants and souvenir shops...

My favorite things are the rides. I love Rockin Roller Coaster and Tower of Terror at Hollywood Studios, Expedition Everest at Animal Kingdom, and Splash Mountain at Magic Kingdom. I also love the Hulk Coaster at Islands of Adventure, Flight of Fear and the Volcano at King's Dominion.... I also just love the atmosphere of parks...if that makes much sense. They're places where you can forget about your day to day problems.

In Enchanted Kingdom, my favorite would definitely be the space shuttle, the jungle log jam and the Rio Grande.I just love having to laugh during the ride, specially when somebody is getting wet or something. LOL. I miss going to Enchanted Kingdom cause I don't have much time during the weekends. But I just found out that our company outing would be in EK and I just can't wait for it.

My favorite is Disneyland I always feel like a kid when I am there. When I go with my friends I tell them right off the bat any character I see I have to get my picture with them. The rides I love so many rides there. My favorite is Big Thunder Mountain Railroad the one with the train going through. I also love Fatansmic what a great show. My second fav is Universal and I love The Jurassic Park Ride that is the best ride ever. Third would be Sea World because I love animals. I don't care for Six Flags because I don't like those types of rides where you are hanging in the sky and flopping all over the place. That is to scary for me.
