Personal Narrative: My First Terrorizing Ride

The Terrorizing Ride of My First Roller Coaster

To start off, I was standing in line, this feeling of terror rushing through my body, waiting to get to the top of the stairs for Thunder Mountain at Disney. This was my first roller coaster ever. I was freaking out. The line was so long and I didn’t know what to do. Then I realized, maybe the feeling of terror wasn’t a bad thing because I don’t think it would be normal to not be scared on my first roller coaster.

I told my Dad that I couldn’t go on it again. They finally decided that it wasn’t a good idea to go on it once more because the line was still super long.

In addition, this moment on the roller coaster made me realize that it’s okay to be scared because it was my first ride ever, and I am pretty sure that it’s normal to react this way. It is important to try and experience new things even if you are freaking out about it. I never would have gone on it if I wasn’t told that I have no choice, but at the same time, I am glad that I got made to go on
