First Park You Visited

This one works just like the Last Park You Visited except you put your first park.

For me: Myrtle Beach Pavilion.

My mom told me that when I was very young my grandma's annual company picnic was at Crystal Beach.

So I'm going to say my first park was Crystal Beach...too bad I was 40 years too late for the Cyclone...

Keansburg Amusement park in New Jersey. Been a good 15 years since I had been there. When I went again back in 2006, boy has that place fallen apart a lot. Isn't as popular anymore either.

Michigan's Adventure - probably 1990, 1991 or 1992. Dad's company picnic was there every year on the bad weekends - saturdays in july. I know it was before 1994, because I was deathly afraid of coasters and my dad made me go on the Wolverine Wildcat with him because I was bawling profusely when he tried to drag me onto the Corkscrew back when it was painted white (which I like better than how it is now). I remember I was in love with the limited kids rides they had, and then one year Zach's Zoomer was there, it looked good enough for me to ride and I think I rode it 20 times, no exaggeration, and the rest was history, I guess.

I've seen old pics of myself at Six Flags Great Adventure. That was my first park.

My first park I am sure was Kennywood. My old house was less then 2 minutes from the park.

I was 5 years old when I visited LeSourdsville Lake Amusement Park in 1948. My father took me on the Cyclone roller coaster at the park. I thought I was going to fall out and die. It was a terrible experience.
For those who don't know about LeSourdsville Lake, it's located between Hamilton and Middletown, Ohio on State Route 4. The Park's name was later changed to Americana and the roller coaster's name was finally changed to Screechin' Eagle. The Park is closed now. The Screechin' Eagle is still standing but not operating.
