Theme Parks, Summer and HubMob - Oh My!
70
If We're Talkin' Theme Parks, It Must Be Summer!
Summer is absolutely my favourite time of year! No more dreary days and trudging around in cumbersome winterwear. Summer means sunbathing, barbeques, the beach and....theme parks!
When my children were small, we always took them on one or two trips to a theme park each year. We would go to one in the States (usually Cedar Point) and one here in Canada (Wonderland). It was a great time for all of us and my kids still remember going.
Since HubPages has members from around the world, it will be interesting to read accounts of the various amusement theme parks from locales that are foreign to us. Regardless of the location, I'm sure it's going to be a fun ride. Can you say, "Wheeee!"
So, please secure your safety bar and keep your arms in except when cresting the roller coaster. Enjoy these hubs and don't forget to leave feedback! The hubbers don't charge admission, so think of it as a donation. :)

LOL, PD, that's an unusual theme! Did the mayor get any feedback from the Bumbletonians? Could you buy cotton candy and elephant ears? :)
Thanks for coming by and chatting, PD!
Shirley, you picked a great theme, well done, you made me feel youthful again.
Thanks, Katy! The theme came from Princessa but I'm glad that I was instrumental in you feeling the youth vibes again!

Koh Nee Chee Wheeeee you're a hard case.. cool. Yes our Mayor made a great theme park for Bumbletonians last year. 10000 acres of pine trees.... so in his wisdom he thought the perfect theme park was an electric Xmas Tree! Nice hub Shirley.
