I wondered if the 1/3 replica at King's Island in Ohio would make the list, and it did!

When I was a kid it was the closest amusement park to where I lived, about 45 minutes away. When I was old enough to drive four of us would pool our money for a family pass, which paid for itself in two visits. We went every week of summer break, every summer for three years. I should say gas was less than $1/gallon then.

Once we graduated we all got too busy to go that often, but it was some fun times while it lasted.

The park would close at 11:00, and at 10:30 they'd set of fireworks from the top of the "Eiffel" tower. We all swore they would "speed up" the rides after dark. Dunno if they actually did, but we were convinced lol. Of course we also knew with absolute certainty that if you swallowed gum it stayed in your guts for seven years, and that Marilyn Manson had a rib removed so that he could fellate himself. Man we were dumb
