Roller Coaster-Personal Narrative

Improved Essays
Crack, crack, crack, S-C-R-E-E-C-H! I quickly covered my ears. I listened to the roller coaster as it pulled in with panting people. As the metal gates swung open, I jumped back with fear, bumping my mom.
"Sorry mom", I sputtered. "It's... it's... I'm really scared", I said, with my voice shaking.
What if I fall off? What if the roller coaster stops at the top of the loop? I thought nervously as we walked over to the roller coaster.
"Dad, are you really going to take your phone and your hat? What if they fall out when we loop the loop? Or anywhere else?"
"Yep. They won't fall out. They are super safe!"
"Ok. Just making sure." I said with attitude.
"You may now board the roller coaster" said the deep voice over the intercom. I

My mom didn't reply. She couldn't. She started to scream. I started to scream. It wasn't a bad scream, I was happy, but I couldn't keep the screams in any longer. The wind was pounding face. It felt like tiny rocks hitting my face one by one. I remembered right before we got on the roller coaster, there was a sign that said "REACHING SPEEDS OF 76 MPH!!!"
"Ooooooooh" Now that makes sense" I said sarcastically.
The last major obstacle was "the dirt bike hills". They were small, but they could upset you more than the other obstacles.
I was screaming, "Wheeeee!"at the top of my lungs for the rest of the ride.
When we pulled into the starting point, I was panting like a dog. Right after we climbed out of the roller coaster, I ran over to look at the pictures. The rest of my family walked over to the pictures to look at them with me. I cracked up at my brother's and dad's picture. Right after they had their share of laughing at the pictures, I begged my parents for another ride. I wanted to feel that sensation again. My brother gave me the stink eye and said to my parents innocently,
"But it made me sick and I almost threw

But it's the last time."my dad said kindly.
"Fine."Tyler said disgustedly.
"Yes!"I shouted with joy.

For this ride, I sat with my dad instead. He didn't scream as much as my mom did, which made me feel safe. I could hear her screaming one row behind us. It sounded different this time.
"I feel the same excitement, but I know where all of the fun parts are. Dad, why does the roller coaster feel different?" I asked my dad curiously.
I saw things I hadn't noticed before. I saw a giant hotel that I was surprised I hadn't noticed. I also saw pools and restaurants. I listened to the crack, crack, crack, of the roller coaster again as we pulled into the starting point again.
"Awesome!!" I shouted over the chatter of people.
I learned that there was nothing to be afraid of. I overcame my fears of roller coasters and heights.
I had to shout, "I overcame my fear!"
"Rylan, we are in public.", came a soft voice from behind.
"Oh. Sorry!" I whispered. "I overcame my fears!", I whispered excitedly.
"You may now exit the roller coaster"said the deep voice over the intercom.
I looked over at the excited people ready to ride the roller coaster I was afraid of. I learned that there was nothing to be afraid of. My mom looked sick. So did my

    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 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.…

    1. I dislocated my kneecap one day at my old school. It was lunchtime, and the crowded cafeteria was full of noisy teenagers. I was sitting at one of the small round tables at the far end of the room with my friend Cheyenne. Finished with my lunch, I got up to return my tray and felt an unnatural popping sensation in my right knee as I stood from my chair.…

    “Great America, here I come,” I say groggily but excitedly as I wake up. Once I’m fully awake, I jump out of bed, say good morning to my mom, brush my teeth, and throw on my bathing suit with some clothes over. Grabbing my drawstring bag, I compile a list of things to bring. I start grabbing items from around the house, “Sunscreen: check, towel: check, phone: check, money: check,” I say in my head as I find them. And last but definitely not least, I can’t forget Scarlett and my’s map route of the park.…

    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 never in my whole life thought my parents would let me fly by myself. We were in the car driving to the airport, which is two hours away from my house and that is a pain when you have two twin seven year old brothers Johnny and Jose screaming in both of your ears. I was going to Charlotte, North Carolina to visit my aunt. My dad has to stay and keep guard on my mom because she has brain cancer and my brothers are “too little to travel” not that I want them to go anyway, man that would be a pain. “Man that’s a Monster plane” my dad said, and Johnny climbed over me to see which hurt my legs like crazy!…

    He started talking to me about how I would fall off all of the rides that I went on and, in particular, that I wouldn’t put my seatbelt on. It only took two minutes of my dad continuously doing this before all the dream roller coaster rides became my worst nightmare. Unfortunately for my dad, my mum’s pinches were more powerful than a few words to a nine year old. My whole family looked around, amazed by how huge the park was. We looked at our map, planning our day and looking at the possible rides we would go on.…
