Happy Days Are Here Again!

Unless you live in Florida or California, winter is the time of year when you can't go to the amusement park.  The gates are closed, the attractions are covered with tarps and riding a roller coaster is nothing more than a December daydream.

But now that the ice has thawed and the snow has melted.... it's time to get out to the parks once again.

I'm not sure if other people feel this way... but I prefer visiting theme parks in the spring and the fall.   The temperatures are cooler, the crowds are lighter and the staff seems to be in a better mood.  They're happy in the spring, because the season has just begun and everyone is still excited about working at the park.  They're happy in the fall because there are only a few more weeks until they can STOP working.

I was checking out some opening day pictures, and it's always great to see the parks on day one of the season.  Everything is fresh and clean, the paint is new and the rides are tuned up and ready to roll.

I'm glad the 2008 season is finally here.
