My First Time on a Roller Coaster
My eyes were as wide as an owl’s as zoomed down the huge drop. I was glad that the ride was finally over as I stepped off the ride I felt a sense of pride come over me. This year at Animal Kingdom in Disney World I went on my first roller coaster called Expedition Everest. The ride featured a backward drop and a regular drop reaching speeds of 55 mph. I will be sharing my experience of my first roller coaster within this story.
When my family and I went to Disney World five years ago I would refuse to go on any big rides whatsoever. I also wouldn’t even go on some small rides. This year I promised to myself that I would go on a big rollercoaster. On Friday October 18th my family and I started our adventure at Animal Kingdom. It was filled with exotic animals and was like a zoo on steroids. This Disney park however had few rides and was mostly shows and interactive animal viewing. The one ride at Animal Kingdom that stood out happened to be the second fastest ride at Disney, it was called Expedition Everest. The ride was indoors and outdoors, the enclosed section being inside of a miniature everest. When I first saw it thought there is no way I am going on this.
We toured the sections of the park, including Dinoland which is where Primeval Whirl was. It was a slow roller coaster that went up to 28 mph, I really enjoyed though because it spun around while you were riding. We convinced my mom to go and while she screamed right in my eardrum I was laughing right beside her. My mom thought

Where I watched hundreds of coasters come flying down the same drop out of the mountain. We got a good picture of my dad going down the hill where he looked completely chill with his hands up in the air.
When he got down I immediately asked him “Was it scary?”
He replied with a simple “no”
I asked again “for real though was it scary”
He said again “no the drop was barely scarier than Primeval Whirl”
Then I asked about the backwards

    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.…

    What was your favorite overall activity? Why? My favorite activity was the sky coaster, even though I didn’t go all the way to the top, because I am scared of heights so it helped me with my fears and because it was so much fun when I got to drop and then swing from the cords that were holding me up. 2.…

    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.…

    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.…

    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…

    Ever since I was young, I loved the adventure of traveling. I couldn’t wait to explore and come across something different.
