Have you ever waited in line for a roller coaster for ages, baking in the sun while the conversation with your friends dwindles, only to then watch as the ride shuts down? Ugh, so frustrating! It happens all the time, and it never becomes less infuriating. Roller coasters break down constantly, so you could easily spend 90 minutes of your one short life waiting for the coaster ride, just to be halted by a breakdown. 

That's one of the more infuriating things that could happen to you at an amusement park… but there are plenty of other things that might bother you, too. I don't know about you, but when I was growing up, my family tried as hard as possible to avoid eating at theme parks. It's not that the food is bad, because it's usually okay, but you're going to pay a huge markup for a very mediocre lunch or snack. That funnel cake that probably costs pennies to make might cost you bigly, and even something like a soda that might be a dollar in the real world can be marked up to $6 or $7 at an amusement park. If you want a full meal, be prepared for some sticker shock! And that's just at a regular Six Flags or local amusement park… if you're headed to Disney, you'll be paying $$$$ for literally every single thing.
