There's been a lot of talk about amusement parks, and theme parks over the past few weeks.

Mainly due to all of the changes coming to Six Flags Great Adventure in Jackson in the near future.

If you haven't heard, Kingda-Ka, one of the park's most famous rollercoasters, has been shut down. Green Lantern is also gone, as are a few other rides in the theme park.

More on all the closures right here. 

It's all part of a new 1 Billion Dollar investment into the park to bring in a one-of-a-kind rollercoaster that's sure to thrill parkgoers.

But the Jersey Shore has so much more than just Great Adventure.

Each little shore town has its own boardwalk, and more often than not, those boardwalks have an amusement pier, and some real thrills can be found there.

One Jersey Shore Theme Park Ranked Among The Best In The Country

Recently, Travel and Leisure ranked the best amusement parks near the shore and one from New Jersey ranked among the best in America.

And for good reason; there's lots for families to do there.

You can ride the park's classic train ride, enjoy mini-golf, a fun house, and tons of other family-friendly rides.

Travel and Leisure reports that Jenkinson's in Point Pleasant New Jersey is among the Top 50 best theme parks in the country.

What I enjoy about Jenkinson's is that there's so much to do from the aquarium, which my niece loves to visit, to enjoy games on the boards or any boardwalk events over the summer and fall season.
