Hi everyone, as I've grown into becoming a fan of roller coasters, I've been thinking about some regrets I've had over the years in terms of my previous theme park attendance or lack thereof in some cases and was wondering if all of you guys have any theme park regrets from your time in the hobby over the years. I have 2 big ones personally.
The first one being not visiting any parks while I was attending university in England. As someone who lives in the United States, I hugely regret not taking advantage of living in England for 4 years and not visiting any parks in not only England but Europe as a whole. Any time I thought about planning a trip I told myself I was too busy, or I'd get a group together and go later to make the trip more fun and it never ended up happening. Now if I wanna go to any of these parks it'll be a much more costly endeavor. Parks like Alton Towers and Efteling are on my bucket list and I regret not taking the opportunity to make those trips a reality.
My other big regret is not giving roller coasters a chance sooner. Ever since I was a kid I was extremely scared of roller coasters due to a bad experience I had as a kid at a travelling carnival. This caused me to miss out on some local coasters I'll never get a chance to ride, like Canobie Corkscrew at Canobie Lake Park and Goliath at Six Flags New England, and missing out on all the Disneyland credits on my one trip I took there. I also think this was a big part in why I didn't go to parks in England, as I didn't think I'td be worth going if I didn't want to ride coasters. Luckily I've seen the light and can begin my coaster journey, even if it's a little later than most.
What are your guys' theme park or roller coaster regrets?
