Personal Narrative Essay: Going To A Trip To Michigan Adventures

Decent Essays
I couldn’t believe it, my family and I were finally going on a trip to Michigan Adventures. I was so excited, it was only one month ago that my dad gave me and my brother the decision to either go to Michigan Adventures as a family or to have both our birthdays on the same day as we normally did every year with presents and cake. My brother and I came to a decision to go to Michigan Adventures, who wouldn’t want to go to an amazing amusement park, considering we had never been to one before in our lives.
We were finally getting packed up and in the car, my brother and I were literally bouncing with excitement. My dad had thought that we would fall asleep within the first 30 minutes because we had to wake up at 7:00 am and start heading

After my dad had agreed to let me, I spent the next 10 minutes after that trying to convince my older brother to ride it with me. He said no, so I had my dad ride it with me. Dad turned to me “This is going to be interesting”, he told me with a smirk. It was all just a huge roller coaster with giant bumps that you went over and zoomed back down repeatedly. The first bump was the largest, the maximum height of 500 feet! The ride to the top was so slow, and it made me more anxious and nervous the closer it got. We were finally at the top and everything below me looked tiny, I was a bit frightened to be completely honest. Then it went down, and I could have sworn my soul left my body at that point, it was so scary, it felt like my stomach was trying to escape and to this day I still think I left my stomach somewhere back …show more content…
The most memorable waterslide was the funnel of doom, and in my opinion, it looked more like a giant toilet, which it kinda was. We got into line, and the line was so long, we had to wait for like, 30 minutes just to get onto the ride. When we finally got onto it, we were all placed in a tube with four seats. I was so excited, we started off in a tube slipping and sliding through it until we abruptly dropped off into the funnel, I almost screamed at that abrupt drop because it caught me off guard. That wasn’t even the scariest part though, the scariest part was the funnel because you zoom out of the tube at full speed, nothing slowing you down, and go so far up the sides that it feels like you are gonna rear backwards and tip over, then just when you think you are going to tip, you start flying backwards and up the other side. That repeats for a few seconds then you are shooting out of the end of it and into a small pool where a guy takes your

    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 was filled with anxiety™, but I rode it so???? I guess I did okay??? I don't really like the stomach dropping feeling, which is honestly what half of what a roller coaster is. I'm not much of a roller coaster person, but I went on them cause I said I would. I don't back on my word, especially on something so small as a roller coaster.…

    One ride I really liked was this enormous waterslide. I was really scared of this ride at first but going down was wonderful ultimately. Me and my Brother went on all of the rides and rollercoasters, but I am not a huge fan of rollercoasters like my brother is, but he convinced me to go on the roller coasters. The first roller coaster we went to had a lot of twist and turns and i was extremely scared, and I felt like the rollercoaster was going to fall of the track…

    I woke with a start at the obnoxious noise coming from my alarm. It was 9:00 a.m. on a Thursday, in the middle of the summer. Today, I was going to my favorite place in the world: the Tulsa State Fair. I dragged myself down the creaking stairs and into the family room, where I turned on the television. I then ate a bowl of cocoa puffs and went back upstairs to prepare myself for the day.…

    When I was about nine years old, my family was debating about going to Cedar Point the upcoming weekend. I hadn't rode many roller coasters in my life at that time because I was only nine. Of course, trying to be manly, I totally agreed with their decision. My parents told me how big the roller coasters are, and how the roller coasters are some of the biggest in the world. I acted like I wasn't scared, and was talking about how I didn't care about the size of the roller coasters.…

    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,…

    From smelling the salty waters by the Florida Keys, seeing all of the green from the stems of green beans growing, the flavor of the freshest eggs you could get from the coop in the backyard, to the avocado tree growing in the backyard, my trip to Florida had become one of the greatest life experiences I’ve had yet. Visiting Florida taught me many skills on being independent, mentally, and how easy and fun it is just to be to yourself sometimes. It all started Christmas eve when I got home to find my presents from “Santa” there before we even went to bed. My parents had planned on taking a vacation to Florida for Christmas break to see my grandparents, but we were unable to also get my parents there.…
