Narrative Essay On My First Ride

Improved Essays
When I first rode this it was the most terrifying thing ever. What was “this?” it’s Fahrenheit at Hershey Park. I first rode the ride in the summer of 2015. When I was ten about to go on to eleven. I rode with my mother, cousin, and friend. For privacy reasons we’ll call her Jenny. I showed courage when I first rode the ride, it might not be so much unlike other stories, like if someone saves someone from a burning house. I considered going back many times but I kept going, and I’m glad I did. I firstly, showed courage by going in the line in the first place, I was just barely tall enough to ride at the time so it was exciting, but mainly eerie. ‘Why did I choose to go on that ride if I was so scared?’ you ask. We had season passes that …show more content…
I was sitting next to my mother when we got on the ride. We started to move and the first thing there was the huge straight up-down hill. Gradually, we started moving up the hill, you’re stuck there for about 8 seconds till you start moving over the top turn. You’re staring right at the sun so you’re blinded and unknowing when the drop will start. I was ready to get off the ride till we started looking downward, in like most roller coasters you’re held there looking down for about 2-3 seconds, this was the most anxious part. We started to drop and I was afraid I was going to fall out, but within 5 seconds the drop it’s over, the drop part at least. We were going in all different directions, the coaster was about 30 seconds long, which most was about the hill. I finally got off alive. In conclusion, I showed courage by riding a roller coaster I never wanted to ride at all. With the huge drops, going straight up and down, and all the twists and turn, I was anxious to get on. I ended up finally pushing myself, with some help of others, to survive the coaster. I never want to go back on Fahrenheit and probably never will. It turns my stomach just to think about it. So, that’s the end of my story of

    A few years ago, on a class trip, my friends had asked me to ride at least one roller coaster. It was not a large roller coaster, but it made me queasy just looking at it. I was confident that I would be able to go on and enjoy the experience. My confidence quickly evaporated when we began climbing up the roller coaster’s first hill. The ride dropped, and I was screaming so loudly that I could only hear myself.…

    I remember the gut wrenching feeling in my stomach as my best friend and I approached the tallest and fastest roller coaster at Hershey Park, called SkyRush. I am not sure why I agreed to go on this roller coaster, considering most of the time at amusement parks I entertain myself with food, and miniature rides that stay level to the ground. Unlike me, my friend liked the rush and heart dropping feeling of being at the apex of a roller coaster and then dropping down at maximum speed. Personally, I preferred the ground, where I remained in full control of my own safety. Yet that afternoon I found myself standing in line for SkyRush.…

    Then the third gate was the worst, who could hear people screaming their heads off, and feel the ground shake like there was an earthquake, and it was our turn next!!! I was TERRIFIED, Claire had fingernail marks in her arm, and as our cart emptied of the people before us, I got light headed, I vaguely remember getting in and buckled. I started to take deep breaths I was starting to feel better when I felt how secure the harnesses were. But then we started to move, at first it was okay, slow and easy going around the first corner, but then I saw the unbelievable hill that was 170 ft tall, this ride brakes 7 different records in the world and one is it’s got the longest drop for a wing coaster!!! Slowly climbing to the top, felt longer than the car ride!…

    It was the largest, most thrilling roller coaster yet to be found. I didn't believe it but knowing my best friend Prisa she was not gonna let me miss out on as she would always say, “once in a lifetime opportunities”. It was a hot, sunny day as the sun lit up the whole park. The blunt air had no wind or even a soft gentle breeze. It was just plain old humid and to add on to that, we were crowded with a solid 200 people in the line,…

    My first car was something that I greatly was looking forward to getting as a child and my interest in getting one grew, as the days got closer to my sixteenth birthday. The first car I owned was a Automatic Black 2004 Ford f-150 truck, which I discovered on a website called Craigslist. It was priced at five thousand nine hundred dollars with only eighty-four thousand miles on it, which in my case was great considering that I could only afford a seven thousand dollar car. The truck came with all manual locks and windows and also had a small amount of hail damage that could really only be seen at a certain angle. But even with reasonable price on the truck I still attempted to negotiate for an even lower price to further my luck.…
