Arms Up! Top 10 Best Coasters in Ocean County
If you think back to that very first roller coaster you were on, it s something we always remember. I ll never forget the Sooper Dooper Looper at Hershey Park. That was the very first roller coaster I was ever on, and I ll never forget it.
Several of my co-workers were on their very first coaster at Six Flags Great Adventure. We had Promotion Coordinators at one point and they re a little younger, tell me that their favorite first coaster was the Jet Star in Seaside Heights. That s the coaster that was in the ocean after Super Storm Sandy.
THE AMUSEMENT PARK I love roller coasters.
Visiting different amusement parks is one of my joys. I love trying different roller coasters and then riding them over and over again.
However, my kids didn t get that from me. Every time we go to Lagoon, they spend most of their time telling me every ride they refuse to go on and then start crying if we get too close to some of the bigger rides, fearing I ll force them on one.
I have failed as a father. Not because they don t want to ride, but because my reaction is absurd.
I get all put out and mopey because I m actually a giant child who whines when he doesn t get to ride the fun roller coasters. I m working on it, people. My go-to response to my kids is usually along the lines of telling them engineers built these rides and they re safe. I tell them to look at all the people smiling when they get off the ride and how each one is in one piece and no one was hurt.
