Personal Narrative-Changing Experience Of Roller Coaster Rides

Improved Essays
It was the weekend and they had decided to go to Disneyland. Rowan didn’t really like roller coasters, but Jason was determined to get on all of them. Rowan was pretty stubborn on not getting on the rides, so Jason actually got random people to go on the rides with him. She just wanted to see him happy for one last time. Rowan had agreed that she was only getting on Space Mountain, but when they were getting closer, Rowan saw that he was bleeding from his nose. Her smile completely sank; almost as if someone had told her the news about her brother all over again. As she slowly took out a tissue out of her back pocket, she looked at him. He gave her a look that said that everything was going to be okay; as if he was ready to let go. She shed a tear and he reached out to hug her. …show more content…
She gave him a big smile assuring him that she was going to be okay.
It was their time to get on the ride and they sat on their seats and buckled up. Rowan was really nervous and she couldn’t stop fidgeting, so Jason held her hand to comfort her. Even though he kept reassuring her that there was no big drops, she couldn’t keep still because of her past experiences with roller coasters. The reason why she hates them so much is that she almost fainted in one of them and she didn’t want to go through that all over again.
A week had gone by and nothing had happened yet. She thought that he had maybe gotten another

    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.…

    Well I had gone to Six Flags and when I had got there I was so anxious to get on every ride in Six Flags but then I had heard a person on the Goliath scream ”stop the ride” it was so funny and scary at the same time. Then I saw that almost every ride had so many twists and turns and even circles that go round and round. Last year I had gone on a roller coaster which was the Mind Bender and it wasn’t so scary. The Mind Bender had so many circles that go round and round.…

    I got comfortable with the rollercoaster as if I became one with it. I waved my arms up high enjoying the crazy loops and turns. The rollercoaster went inside of a dark cave that blinded everyone. Water splashed on us like an atomic bomb as we exited the cave. Maybe this rollercoaster was not so bad after all.…

    Sit back, buckle up, and get ready to scream because I love roller coasters. My family and I go to Cedar Point about every month in the summer, and my dad and I go and ride everything in the park. It is just so fun! The one thing I really like about roller coasters is that there are little rides for the youth kids also. My least favorite thing is when I am not tall enough to enjoy a ride, which doesn’t really occur anymore.…

    We went to Kings Dominion yesterday and it was really fun. I’m scared of height, so I never really ride anything, but yesterday my friends force me on the Domination ride, it was one of those big roller coasters. I keep on telling them I can’t ride it and I’m really scared, but everybody just ignores me while they dragged by my arms and the other pushes me from behind to get on. Once we got down, they asked how was it…

    In just a few seconds they would be off, gone to travel over the track in a bright blur. The screams enclosed the car with the force of adrenaline as it appeared and disappeared in a flash. I heard the happy and terrified screams of the people on the coaster and the booming voice of the ones controlling it while strolling around Paradise Pier in Disneyland with my family. At this point, I hadn't been on the roller coaster yet. I preferred to keep myself on the ground and not on the coaster going up side down into crazy drops.…

    I waited, very shaky in the long line to go on Rockin’ Rollercoaster. It was a warm day where the sun was shining down and I was pacing back and forth the whole morning in the hotel room. I had terrible butterflies in my stomach. Waiting in line felt like forever, but in all reality not much time had past.…

    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!…

    We inched our way to the top of the first incline, when I heard someone say they felt sick. I thought I was going to lose it, I strongly considered jumping off of the thirty-one story ride. We finally reached peak height, and were about to descend the hill when my life flashed before my eyes. I grabbed Mike’s hand and squeezed my eyes shut as if my life depended on it. Within forty seconds the ride was over.…

    However, just as I said this the spiritless roller coaster attendant strapped me in permanently ensuring I couldn’t back out. After the attendants strapped everyone in, they did their whole spiel on how we were going to have a great time, but the words muddled in my mind as I was more focused on breathing. The car moved onward and screeched at us as if in warning. Then suddenly the car stopped, I’m pretty sure just to spite us.…

    I got out of the car, looked up and remembered again the main reason why I hate roller coasters: heights! We got closer and closer to the rides, and with each step my heart pounded faster in my chest and I was shaking all over. All of a sudden, I looked up and was standing face to face with the biggest rollercoaster in the park. My stomach felt like it dropped 50 feet below ground, and I wasn’t even on the ride yet.…
