These Are the Best Virtual Roller Coaster for Kids

April 21, 2020 By Michelle Yannaco

These Are the Best Virtual Roller Coaster for Kids

By the middle of the spring, families anxiously await the reopening of their favorite amusement parks. Long days strolling in the sun, waiting in line for your favorite rides, stopping for sweet treats in between, shelling out cash to win the biggest stuffed animal ever — as exhausting as it sounds, it’s a staple of the season and it’s a lot of fun.

With warmer weather on the horizon, our fingers are crossed we’ll get to enjoy the summer as we always have. Whether amusement parks will open in 2020 is still uncertain, but thanks to YouTube you can at least “ride” your favorite coasters from your couch.

We picked some of our favorite nearby coasters, the ones we like to ride at least once  a year. Summer wouldn’t be the same without them!
