A family theme park road trip across North America
Big coasters.
Real family adventures.
We’re a Canadian family travelling with our trailer, chasing roller coasters, discovering new parks, and sharing the fun along the way.

Meet the crew
One trailer and a lot of coaster opinions.
We’re a Canadian family who love theme parks, road trips, camping, and finding the next unforgettable ride. Riding With The Tism is where we share the honest side of theme-park travel—from the excitement of a new coaster to the realities of towing a 38-foot trailer across North America.
Our goal is simple: make great memories, discover amazing parks, and help other families see what this kind of adventure can really look like.

A growing map of parks, campgrounds, highways, and family memories.
