Sounds like a blast. All I've ever ridden is fair rides, which seem like kids rides to most amusementparkists. XD I simply can't wait. Thanks for all the tips. If my phone smashed on the ground while riding a ride I definitely wouldn't have much fun the rest of the day, haha.
I'm planning to wear cargo shorts with button-up pockets, a black tee shirt (despite the sunrays beating down on me, it's very comfortable), broken-in tennis shoes, and bring about $ 40 with me for food. I'm not planning on buying any suveniers because they are outrageously priced and I don't really need to waste money on any.
I might bring a backpack with me for extra stuff (swimsuit, flip flops, sunscreen, hand sanitiser, extra socks, extra tee shirt, extra pair of shorts, sunglasses, water bottle if I decide to bring one, etc). I do understand that this will be a little unconvienient having to haul it around with me lal day, though. Fanny packs just are't my thing, and I need to bring some extra stuff although I won't really be able to head out to the car that much considering the day I have planned for us.
