this might seem like a silly question, but i am only one week out and still new with my band. the thought just occurred to me.... folks talk about all kinds of things effecting their bands... what about amusement park rides? is it the same as riding pre band or will i need to be careful about which ones i choose and how long it's been after i've eaten?

You're unlikely to hurt anything, there's no reason not to go on them if you enjoy them.

However, what I've found since I got banded is I now get motion sickness, car sickness, sea sickness etc. I'm much more delicate than I used to be lol, I could always go on rides and such, now they make me feel awful. I dont enjoy them at all.
