According to a 2014 report from the International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions, more than 375 million people visit theme parks in the United States and Canada each year. Visitors drop $18.8 billion annually at parks.

The Weather Channel just listed the best "thrill ride" in each state.  They chose the Soak City Water-slides for Minnesota.  Specifically the new "Breakers-Pipeline" which has four tube slides where riders stand on a platform sixty-five-feet up in the sky. The platform then falls out from underneath them and sends them off.  Check it out:

And if you really really LOVE water slides you should add the Aquatopia Indoor Water Park at Camelback Resort in Pennsylvania to your bucket-list.  It's home to the the longest water-slide in the country.  The slide is 756 feet-long and propels riders at 35 ft per second!
