Roller Coaster Ride-Personal Narrative

Improved Essays
As the coaster reached the top we could see the entire park, but soon after we were going down, and all my fears came back to me. It was the beginning of summer and my friend and
I were at Valley Fair. He paid for me to go with him so I was a little lenient.
We got out of the wave pool in Soak City, and there were a few messages on my friends phone. “What do they say?” I asked
“They say that we’re going to leave soon,” he replied “But we probably have time for one more ride.”
We changed out of our swimsuits and left soak city. We started walking on the brick path and little after we left, our phones died! Meaning we had no contact with my friends parents. That’s when I started getting nervous. It was like a little man stalking me as we walked to our last ride. I let him choose because he was the one that got

We got on and I was ready to have fun. Throughout I didn’t feel anything of the ride or at least I thought. When I saw the photo of me when I was on the ride I looked scared. My mind just said, “Oh you’re scared of roller coasters now.” and the fear has stuck since.
Now We were nearing the ride and the little man seem to grow a little more the more I got nervous. We reached the line and as we waited my nervousness just grew. All I could think of that little man just under half my size now. “It’s nothing to be afraid of,” my friend reassured me, but I couldn’t help but think about it.
We were up to ride and the nervousness just took me over I couldn’t stop shaking as we ascended. As the coaster reached the top we could see the entire park, but soon after we were going down, and all my fears came back to me. There he was the green man, but then he shrank as we went faster. For as we went faster I had more and more fun. We got off the ride and I was smiling, and that was the end of the little green man and my fear of the wild

    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.…
