My escapism is based upon theme parks giving me a break from my mind I\u2019ll be completely honest. I know this is the case for so many of us enthusiasts and the closed season is often an awful time for a lot of us. <\/span><\/p>\n

Theme parks have become for me over the years my place to feel free of my mind and let myself go. It\u2019s an opportunity to virtually feel \u201cnormal\u201d again. That doesn\u2019t happen a lot. It\u2019s not precisely the rollercoasters that allow escapism for me, it’s an aspect but not the sole reason. It’s more or less the whole environment. It\u2019s seen people responding to these rides for their first time, it\u2019s hearing the laughter from other people, it\u2019s the scents, it\u2019s the audio that feels homely and it\u2019s seen what the future could entail. There is so much more than just rollercoasters & rides at a theme park for me.\"\" <\/span><\/p>\n

My escapism revolves around time with those I love so dearly & wandering around just taking in the pleasure of the parks. There isn\u2019t anything better for me than waking up early, experimenting with my make up (sometimes I\u2019ll admit waste of time haha) & jumping in the car putting on our travel playlist singing as we drive to a theme park. I have the best theme park company all the time anyway too which is favourable!\"\" <\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s also delightful to have those plans for the weekend especially when the week is dragging & hasn\u2019t exactly been all that pleasant to us neither. It\u2019s not just my way of escaping it\u2019s also Ants. So, seeing Ant have a fab time after a rough week also fulfils me with nothing but joy & contentment.\"\" <\/span><\/p>\n

Theme parks are everything more than just rides & attractions. There is so much to embrace that goes disregarded. Next time you are at a theme park just take 5 minutes to stand amongst the craziness of the thrills to take in the smells, sounds and people around you. I can guarantee it\u2019ll fill you with a lot of joy by simply seeing other people having the time of their life alone.\"\" <\/span><\/p>\n
