3. I used to like spinning rides
At Lakeside park in Denver, they have a ride that spins horizontally almost exactly like a G-Force machine that astronauts use. The operator thought it would be funny to give us some bonus time because nobody else was in line. After about 5 minutes we were all screaming for her to stop the ride, she left us on for at least 5 more minutes.. After it was over, two of my friends lost their lunches and I was sick for a few hours. It was horrible.

Lakeside is also the home of my favorite classic wooden coaster the Cyclone, built in the 40's. If you go late at night you can ride free as many times as you want, for some reason they don't check for tickets. They also have a really fun "wild mouse" type coaster.

Wooden coasters are my favorite, but I also love a good steel coaster.
