I decided to do this project on water parks because I enjoy them. I enjoy going to amusement parks also. My family and i go to Knoebels every year and I go to Massanutten, VA with my father every year too. Going on a ride and getting wet when it is really hot out is awesome. I would love to go to any of these parks that I wrote about. I think to experience a new park would be incredible and very exciting.
