Personal Narrative: A Day Off With Walt Disney World

Improved Essays

Before I could tell what was going to happen, it was like God had taken the sun out of the sky, black as night. It remained this way for the rest of the ride, just like Paul had described. I could not see my hand if I put it right in front of my face. Then still in total darkness, all of a sudden, we were jerked hard to the left and started uphill. Then, as fast as a race car, we went down the hill and up another. This time, after we climbed up the hill we turned right and flew into a loop. Meanwhile, we still could not see what was coming up next. After the fast loop, going as fast as a spaceship, we turned left, then right and then another upside down loop, the entire time everyone is yelling and laughing out of joy. By this time my stomach was doing loops by itself. Finally, we slowed down, and where on flat track. " Maybe it 's over, " I thought to 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.

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.…
