I know it's rare, but this is scary. When you think about all the kids that spend their summers at Six Flags and other parks.
Do you still ride the rides at carnivals and amusement parks?

Can’t remember when was the last time I went to an amusement park with THOSE kind of rides. The thought alone makes my back hurt.
Six Flags & Knott’s Berry Farm trips used to be the best as a kid. Especially as a teen when you went with your classmates for a field trip. Some serious shenanigans would take place.
We’ll never be those kids again.

Absolutely. It’s still fun and the odds of something catastrophic happening are pretty low. I’ll take my chances for some thrills.

I won't do county/state fair rides. Those people don't give a ****. Old creaky rides from the 80s.
Disneyland and Six Flags I'm ok with. They don't want to mess up their paper.
Driving a car is the most dangerous thrill ride. I still like my odds at an amusement park.

Word. I understand my vulnerability much more now compared to when I was a kid. I'm not a thrill-seeker so strictly water rides for me. I'm just as the carnivals now so my kids can have fun while I eat zeppoles.
Definitely not
And that's a mega nope for those traveling carnival rides
A lot of states don't even have any sort of safety regulations or governing body to determine whether the rides are in acceptable working condition
Amusement parks are different...safer...but I'm still not getting on those rides

Not thrill rides like coasters etc I don't trust those at all. But I still like the other stuff.

That's the thing. First thing we did when we got our license was skip school and hit Six Flags. Every ride over and over. You don't even consider the risk when you're that young.
I can remember someone capsized in one of those raft rides and they were belted in so they just drowned. Then not long after someone came unstrapped from the Superman Ride of Steel ride and flew right into one of the uprights and got killed. Didn't deter us at all.

100% so true. We used to go to Action Park every summer as kids and I swear there were accidents left and right but that didn't deter our stupid asses from still going on every ride multiple times. I can only count my blessings and watch from the sidelines now. Especially whenever I see someone post one of those youtube vids about how dangerous that place was like this.

Disappointed in you
This came to mind too
"Paulie, we had a problem down here. The ride The teacups or whatever, a bolt busted. Thing jammed up. - Some people got hurt. It's pretty bad, Paulie. Lady broke her wrist. Some Puerto Rican kid lost some teeth."
Paulie: "What am I f***n dentist?"

Hell yeah, rode the new joint Twisted Timbers at Kings Dominion a couple weeks ago.
It was my kids first real rollercoaster. Rode two times back to back right before closing with the fireworks going off during the ride

A lot of you Charmin soft boys would be screaming for your mommies after riding this joint.
Slow descent upwards with your back turned, feet dangling as you reach the peak of the initial drop. Then you suddenly rotate frontwards into a face first dive. And the icing on the cake, imagine riding this at NIGHT with the added flamethrower effects?
We’re built different over here in Cali.
