Not exactly. [There were plenty of amusement parks around, it was just a matter of getting to visit one.] Most people go with their family, friends or for a field trip of some sort.
I was home schooled until recently, so the field trip and friends weren't exactly a thing. And my dad--[Oh where to even start with that. It's kind of embarrassing but not really a secret.] He always promised he'd take me. Every summer. When the time came he was just always too busy to do it though, so it was put off until later. Later never came. I stopped asking a couple of years ago.
