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.…
A giant. A giant is a mythological beast that is supposed to be larger than any human ever will be. A giant is supposed to be very strong and muscular. A giant is supposed to not be real, but there is. His name is Chris Leprechaun.…
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.…
I also liked how the rollercoaster threw me around in the seat. Towards the end of the ride there was a dark tunnel that made me feel like I was…
We all had agreed to go this Saturday and ride the rollercoaster. The next day was already Saturday. I of course always had been scared of rollercoasters. They were never my thing, I always feel like butterflies in my stomach and my hands get shaky and sweaty. As my friends knocked on the door and walked into my house.…
My friend, Odina, was laughing beside me the whole time; she did not know how worried and anxious I was about this devastating rollercoaster. 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…
I have not been thinking differently but I am surely endeavoring. I have an arduous time changing things about myself so at this point I am just gradually endeavoring. After reading these two chapters I endeavor to disunite my emotions from my thinking due to the fact that they incline to get me into an abundance of trouble. Prior to making decisions, I stop and notice first if I am allowing my emotions to get in the way. I ascertain no emotions are tied to my decisions just so at the end I get a good outcome.…
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.…
The pain began slowly, pricking me with its sharp needles only while doing barre in ballet once a week. I ignored it, believing it to be normal, common discomfort that would soon go away, typical thoughts of a dancer whose entire sport is centered around “good pain”. Six months later, it had escalated to the degree that every step I took felt like an arrow to my knee. Dancing had become impossible, and it was determined that I should be taken to the orthopedist. The bland, brown and beige lobby became extraordinarily familiar as I waited two hours to be examined.…
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.…
The day was gloomy and cloudy with a chance of lightning on the way. Woke up, feeling nauseous and a bit scared thinking about the huge rides I was to encounter. I could still remember all of the videos I watched the day before and they weren’t making my situation any better. One video showed a slingshot ride preparing to launch two kids and the cable snaps, hitting the floor with enough force to break cement. When I watched those videos I felt as if that would happen to me, my brother and my friends.…
Everyone has something that they want to accomplish. I have always been fascinated with the Colosseum and have had a strong desire to one day finish building it. It is so intricate but yet so incomplete. My great grandfather had a dream to build a magnificent structure in Rome. It has always been my dream to finish building it, so that one day my families name would go down in history.…
As soon as you get to the top of that flight of stairs you're out in the open and you will be right in line for loading on to the coaster. As the roller coaster starts and when your going up you start to get very excited. As soon as you hit the peak of the coaster. As you start to fall the G force was so powerful. As you speed down the roller coaster you Can see the you will go into a dark hole into the water.…
Beautifully Corrupt As a human being bad habits are naturally developed. For some it's gnawing at your fingers until the cuticles bleed or taking the edge off just to destroy your lungs or perhaps letting your throat burn so you don't have to remember that night. My bad habit happened to be him. I guess all addictions start at some point, but your green eyes seemed to captivate me like the buzz of the first cigarette you got me to try.…
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…
