POPSThe Seven Sweetest Fictional Theme Parks Pt 1 (#7 - #5) Cartmanland, Horrorland from Goosebumps, and the Granddaddy of all fictional theme parks: Westworld! Part 2 gets better with Wally World, Thrill World, Itchy and Scratchy Land, and I am not going to tell you what Number One is.... Not even a hint.... I personally love theme parks and have been to some of the best: Disneyland, Six Flags, Magic Mountain, Knott's Berry Farm, Raging Waters, California Adventure, Busch Gardens, Universal Studios California, Palisades Park, and Astroworld... and the biggest of them all - Las Vegas! But if you like sci-fi or adventure thrillers pick up Dream Park by Larry Niven and Steven Barnes (or the 4 or so sequels), Utopia by Lincoln Childs, or Futureworld by Phillip J. Farmer. You will love them!

POPSScriptures are now an amusement park attraction How sad it is to once again see the sacred word of God being depicted as an amusement park attraction. Once was not enough now apparently it is fashionable to create amusement parks in the name of Christianity. I guess this really should not be so surprising considering a good bit of televised religion is nothing more then infomercials and religious entertainment anyway. Perhaps the churches should start charging admission to get inside to witness the great adventures of God up close and personal. Why not just turn the church houses into museums or tourist attractions?

POPSAshes to Ashes, at Disneyland There is also a survey with this article: "For amusement, where would you park your remains?" Disneyland comes in with 64%, Sea World at 14%, Six Flags Magic Mountain at 10%, Knott's Berry Farm and Universal Studios come in at 6.5% and 5% respectively. Big the big question is -- where in Disneyland would you like to remain? The article cites Pirates of the Caribbean and the Haunted Mansion. You'll need to choose a classic spot that isn't likely to be redesigned or removed. Choose wisely.....

POPSTop 10 Parent Hacks of 2006 I really liked No. 2. Sharpie your cell phone number on your kid's belly "When we go to crazy places like amusement parks and fairs, we just use a Sharpie and write on the kids' stomachs "My mom's cell # is...." The kids are all drilled on what to do if they get lost, and we have photos of them at Disneyland and everywhere else, flashing their bellies with the emergency plan. "

POPSConey Island's Parachute Jump Sees the Light One of my favourite New York landmarks is coming back to life. When I was a kid, I loved going with my family to Coney Island at night, and seeing all the wonderful bright lights, and boardwalk attractions. The Parachute Jump was the king of the park. Just watching those brave people being hoisted up to the very top of the tower and then dropped suddenly used to bring chills up my spine, even though I never was allowed to go on that ride myself. I remember when they first said it was gonna be torn down, but once the city declared it a landmark I was relieved to know it would always be where I remember it in my youth.
