Personal Narrative: My First Day Of Riding Roller Coasters

Improved Essays
My first day of riding roller coasters. Over the summer, my family and I went to Silver Dollar City and I decided to face my fear. No, I am not afraid of roller coasters, but I am afraid of heights. While we were at the park, my dad convinced me to ride my first roller coaster. My dad, sister and older brother have been riding roller coasters for years, they love them. But, my little brother and I don’t really care for them. He doesn’t like them because he doesn’t like the feeling of falling from a high place and I don’t like how high they go. Today was the day I gave the ride a chance and see if I liked them too. The first one I rode that day was Thunderation which isn’t that bad. I’m actually writing this story because of my experience

The ride dropped, and I was screaming so loudly that I could only hear myself.…

It is called the Iron Rattler, and it stood at a height of one hundred-eighty feet tall. The other passengers were energized with excitement, anxiety, and fear. I felt uncomfortable getting on the rollercoaster because I thought I was going to die. I thought maybe the rollercoaster would fall…

    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.

    Exhilarating: a term making one feel very happy, animated, or elated, would be the perfect word to describe what the day had in store for us eager, and jubilant grade 6 students. A thrilled and luminous smile lit up on my enthusiastic face as I ambled on the same rugged, cracked, gray tinted sidewalk that I had sauntered on everyday for a year. The serene, endless sky was the perfect shade of aqua as the light, silky, radiant clouds formed delicate shapes. The sun was glistening with great luminosity. Suddenly I heard someone screaming my name well not really; it was my nickname, one that really agitated me in an incredibly obnoxious way, “Babikathu wait up”.…
