Michael Jackson was such a fan of international amusement parks, he'd hitthem at dawn when he was on tour.

The late pop star famously created a theme park at his Neverland estatein Santa Barbara and former producer Samm Brown reveals Jackson was so excited to visit the local pleasure ground when he arrived in a new country, jet lag and hunger couldn't keep him away.

So, Michael, his minder and I went to the amusement park at eight in the morning

Brown, who worked with Jackson for four years and co-wrote his hit One Day In Your Life, recalls, "Early on in our relationship when we were on tour in Venezuela, I woke up one morning to the sound of this soft tapping on my hotel room door. I thought it was maid service. "I opened the door and it was Michael, fully clothed.

He asked, 'Do youwant to go to the amusement park?' It was, like 8am! "He said, 'I can't find anyone who wants to go.' It was so sincere and so I thought, 'What the hell,' and I went. So, Michael, his minder and I went to the amusement park at eight in the morning.

I was really tired and hungry, and I'm sure Michael was too - but he had to get to the park. "That was kind of my introduction to Michael's love of amusement parks - he'd hit a new country, a new city, and he'd have to go play".
