Is it correct to say, "I like riding a ride in amusement parks." for "I like taking a ride in amusement parks"?

Thank you.

'riding a ride' is repetitive and a no.

"I like taking rides . . . " is OK.

Better still, "I like the rides . . ."

Hi organica,

Try:

I like the rides in amusement parks.

I really like going on rides in amusement parks.

I like going on the rides in amusement parks.

I understand they are also called 'thrill rides' and 'amusement rides'.

So you could even say,

I like the thrill rides in amusement parks.

I like the amusement rides (in amusement parks).

Thank you very much, as always.
