A few minutes later we saw another sign it said: warning scary! My mom faced me and said, “Are you sure you want to do this?” and I responded, “Yes mom, it’s just a ride how scary could it be” so we waited in the long line. When we got on the train I was exited! Up a head I saw a man in a box with a moving saw on top he caught sight of us and said,” help me!”.
