I’m a childless millennial who loves Disney.
I celebrated my 30th birthday park hopping across all 4 parks in Orlando and ended the day where the love of Disney and alcohol intersect – Epcot.
Whether I could afford a full trip to Disney or just a hop over to the nearest Six Flags, I was definitely hoping for some theme park summer fun this year, but know it’s going to have to wait until it’s safer.
BUT – I recently discovered my trips down theme park memory lane can be actual rides down memory lane thanks to several YouTube channels with POV ride experiences for some of the best theme park rides around the world. Yes – POV ride porn, baby!
I’m talking:
Jurassic World The Ride – Universal Hollywood
Harry Potter and the Escape from Gringotts
Here’s just a bunch of rides – some that are especially good for kids (Frozen, etc.)
And, don’t forget the great theme park rides outside of the Disney/Universal realm. One of my ALL TIME FAVORITES is Millennium Force at Cedar Point.
My roomie/bff is afraid of roller coasters, but she agreed to ride these rides with me on YouTube. I turned to her during one of the rides and said excitedly, ‘Honestly, this is really what it’s like!’ Yeah, no shit. It’s a video of the ride. But, seriously, it’s a fun way to ‘get out of the house’ while staying in.
These POV videos could also be a way to help get over fears of rides before you go to the park and stand in line for hours just to bow out at the end. Face your fears and have fun! 🙂
What are your favorite rides? I bet they’re on YouTube. Check them out and let me know what you think!
Love, Jen
