well I'm 30 and amusements parks just don;t excite me like they did when I was 14 and 15.

I don't think it's weird at all.

I've noticed a trend with you, though. Skittles, sneakers, amusement parks...

It's like you feel like once a person reaches their 20s, they have to leave behind anything that could be seen as youthful and instead reach for their wheelchair and a Matlock video while they enjoy some stewed prunes for the day.

I'm just saying, let's say I'm dating this 27 year old and this summer she says-"Lets go to an amusement park???? I think it's much better for 27 and 30 year old to go to beach/waterfront, comedy event , plays but getting on RIDES????-lol

James"Thunder"Early · 02-02-2006, 11:33 AM

No, my mother loves that kind of stuff.

MsOrange · 02-02-2006, 11:46 AM

my grandfather loved amusement parks right up till he was 65... then he couldn't ride them anymore because of his heart.

Me and Jonathan have goen to amusement parks before, and we're *GASP* the ripe old age of 21 and 23. EEK!

I don't know about the parks near you, but all the things that you mentioned that you like are at the parks near me. There's a bit of everything for everyone. ... besides, you do know that a way to a woman's heart is winning a big adorable suffed animal from the midway games

And those rides, who do you think she's going to grab onto when she gets a lil scared? It can be a very romantic place!

I agree. If somebody finds amusement parks to still be fun at 30, why is it hurting you personally? By the way, I'm 26 and I'm wearing sneakers right now

You know, I haven't been to a zoo in years and I think that going there one of these days again could be fun because I do find the animals exciting to study their behavior of. Six Flags is 10 mins from me and while I haven't been there in a couple years, I wouldn't exactly rule out never going there again.

Why is it that once somebody hits 20, they're supposed to be devoid of fun, wear suits all the time, live off power lunches, etc... People have the right to enjoy what the hell they want as long as it's not hurting other people. If a grown-up, childless couple, feels that a night out at Six Flags is fun, what's the problem, it's not directly affecting you? Not all adults are stuffy and lifeless.
