Well if you weren't 100 years old you would know the appeal is the thrill on your kids face when they lock the lap bar, the giddy anticipation when you are going clickety-clack clickety-clack up the first hill, the screams of terror from your kid at the begining of the big drop which turns into screams of delight at the bottom, the high fives and smiles when you get off and hearing them start the "Lets do it again Lets do it again" chant.aps45819 said:What's the appeal of "packaged" theme park vacations?
The traffic, crowds or standing in line?
I met Aps IRL, and I seriously doubt he's a day over 95.Pete said:Well if you weren't 100 years old.
I enjoyed the thrill of my son's laughter as he catches a fish or "Hey Dad, watch this" when he jumps into the pool.Pete said:Well if you weren't 100 years old you would know the appeal is the thrill on your kids face when they lock the lap bar, the giddy anticipation when you are going clickety-clack clickety-clack up the first hill, the screams of terror from your kid at the begining of the big drop which turns into screams of delight at the bottom, the high fives and smiles when you get off and hearing them start the "Lets do it again Lets do it again" chant.
If you do go, sign up for breakfst in the park for one of the mornings you're there. You arrive at the partk at 8:30am, have a great breakfast, then you get run of of the park for a couple of hours before it open for everyone else.usagent said:What's it like and is a week too long?

P.A. is a Public Attorney - and, yes, a week with one is too long.
I grew up in Pa. also and never saw it written as "P.A." Used to be abbreviated as "Penn" many years ago.jackers said:Hhmm, I grew up in Pennsylvania and have seen it PA and/or P.A. my whole life. I will be sure to e-mail my friends and family to make sure they stop. :shrug:
I think a week may be a little long, but there is a lot to do near there. Harrisburg is really starting to grow and become a little more family oriented (i.e. City Island). Another way to spend some of the time would be to take the road trip down to Gettysburg. Kids love it and so will you.

Don't forget that Gettysburg isn't that far away.Callie girl said:A week at the park might be a little much but there are other things. Make sure to see the 3-D movie at the choc. factory, my kids loved it and so did I.
