And so many wonderful theme parks for families  too. In fact, there are so many great theme parks, it can be difficult to pick the top few. But there are a select group that simply are outstanding entertainment value. These are some of the most popular theme parks in the U.S. If you have not had the chance to check them out for yourself yet, you should definitely add these U.S theme parks to your bucket list. 3 Amazing US Theme Parks: Cedar Point – They are known as the “roller coaster capital of the world” and their 17 thrilling coasters will keep you riding all day long. This is an awesome park for thrill-seekers. You’ll find it in Sandusky, Ohio. That’s pretty easy to get to for many people in Ontario, Canada and areas of the US as well. So many reasons this is one of my favourite US theme parks. Disney’s Magic Kingdom – It’s one of the most magical places on earth so, of course, it makes out list. There are so many great rides, along with all of your favorite Disney characters from childhood. It’s one great reason to head down to Florida. There are so many other great reasons to visit the state. Six Flags Magic Mountain – There are many Six Flags parks found throughout the States and if you live near one, head over and check it out. There will be loads of fun to keep you entertained. But if you’re going to be in California or you live close enough to travel, Six Flags Magic Mountain is a definite winner. It has 18 roller coasters to enjoy. Have a Blast at Any of these 3 US Theme Parks These are just three of the most epic awesome theme parks in the U.S. but there are definitely many more.

In fact, perhaps I’ve been delusional, but I have always thought that if the right opportunity presented itself, I’d jump ship. I’d pack my things, leave my double double, take my chances with nonexistent health care and move to one of the less scary states in the great U.S of A. In fact there are some states I have even found myself daydreaming about. Alabama sounds lovely, Florida sunny, Southern Carolina, whoot! Texas and Arizona are obviously sizzlin’ and California, well what’s not to like? But this past week as I visited Ohio for a conference that turned into a lovely family vacay at a waterpark called Fort Rapids in Columbus, I made so many Canadian faux pas that it’s become clear to me my ship has sailed. On my first day in Ohio, clearly exhausted by the six hour drive and determined not to sound like a silly Canadian I refrained from ordering a double double only to hand the cashier at a coffee shop loonies and toonies in exchange for breakfast and a coffee. The look on her face was priceless. She couldn’t have been more stunned if I’d handed her arcade tokens from Fort Rapids. Anyways, that small gaffe under my belt I proceeded to embarrass Canadians even further during my few days outside the country. During a mandatory stop at a United States McDonald’s I asked for two grilled cheese happy meals. When our cheeseburgers arrived my kids were more than a bit dismayed and I attempted to return them realizing midway through my sentence: “Don’t you have grilled cheese here?” that my Canadian was showing. Oops! I was only the tiniest bit offended by the finger-pointing and chuckling that followed. If that was all that I had done during the week I could laugh but truly the mistakes only seemed to compound themselves until we finally set foot back on Canadian soil. Thankfully thoughtful husband reminded me at Arby’s in Detroit there would be no Great Canadian on the menu here, so please don’t order one. So au revoir dear U.S of A. I love you dearly but will not be moving any time soon. To be quite honest I’ve never really taken a liking to the odd confection you call iced tea. Now fetch me a double double, eh?
