Roller coaster

One afternoon, I was in Guatemala. All of my family and I were at the theme park. My whole family and I, were so glad to be there, my cousins were happy. But, something terrible happened to me, for going on a roller coaster I should not have gone on to. As soon as we went inside the park, all of us could not choose which ride to go on. After all, we were going to get on mostly, all the rides. At last, we thought about the ride we all wanted to ride. However, we were very far away, so, we…

The Chills of Roller Coasters and Thrills of Love Amusement parks and weddings are not usually thought of as similar places or functions. The “I do’s” said at a wedding ceremony do not exactly correlate with the screams and thrills of an amusement park. But aside from all the obvious differences; the home of screams and thrills and the ultimate ceremony of love have more in common than meets the eye. Amusement parks are the home of roller coasters while weddings are a symbol of ultimate love,…

The purple roller coaster with a Bizarro logo on the front came to a sudden stop. The silver gates that were keeping me in like a caged animal opened, almost like they were freeing me. But they weren’t, they were leading me right into my biggest fear. My heart was beating out of my chest, and I could hear the pounding in my ears- Oh yeah, you guys don’t know how this all started. It all started in the car on the way here. My friend Jack and I were watching Shrek on my ipad. We were in the car…

Overcoming Roller Coasters Everyone has an experience in their lifetime where they had certain expectations going into something, based on someone else’s thoughts or opinions that happened to be completely wrong. Sometimes it makes the experience better, sometimes worse. I personally had an event be completely different than my mind set, but in my case it was truly for the better. When I was in elementary school, my mother went on about the horrors of roller coasters, mainly ranting about news…

“The line looks really long. We should come back later,” My sister said as we approached the roller coaster. It was my first time at Disney World and I wasn’t going to let a line stop me from riding every roller coaster I saw. We were in the line for the Expedition Everest ride in the animal kingdom park. The ride was themed around a yeti hidden out in Mount Everest, and the entire line took us through an old rocky cave that was a tour of history about the yeti. The underground chamber was gusty…

There was no time for a break, we were off to the next one. By “one”, I mean roller coaster, but this wasn’t just any other roller coaster, this was the Dragster. The record breaking, rapid and towering Dragster which was located at the amusement park Cedar Point, in Ohio. I watched my friends walk briskly in front of me anticipating the next thrill. We were walking with Baylee in front, Abby following her, Tiffany next, Megan after her, and Alyssa dragging behind with me. All of us were suited…

big roller coaster, only the little ones at the town fair. My mom and I entered the ride choosing to sit in the very middle. Jaxson and Kennedy on the other hand, sat more towards the front of the ride. I chose to sit in the middle because usually it is the least scary. I buckled my seatbelt, and my mom did too. Then I pulled down the safety bar, making sure it was latched all the way. Then, we were ready. I knew nothing would go wrong, I knew I would be ok, I knew I was going to love roller…

line of people stretched out as far as I could see, all dripping sweat in the sweltering Georgia heat. I was unsuccessfully trying to find a patch of shade and simantamously doubting my rather reckless decision to go on one of the most scary roller coasters in the whole amusement park. As if on a cue, a chorus of screams could be heard coming from above, although whether they were from joy or pure terror I couldn't tell. Either way, the exit gate suddenly looked very appealing. I leaned lazily…

Six Flags Trying to keep a serious face while going downwards on a rollercoaster is seemingly difficult. The best part of the roller coaster ride is when it takes your picture when you’re on the ride. If anyone were to go online and search, “funny roller coaster photos”, I’m sure they will get a laugh out of it. That’s exactly what I did when I went to Six Flags with my girlfriend. I tried to keep a straight face or others would say it’s the disappointed face. The moment was so perfect, I…

I thought I was going to die. As I sat down on the red, metal roller coaster I was petrified with fear and filled with dread as I thought of what lay ahead of me. I put my sweaty hands in the air as the workers buckled me in and my brother shook his head at my apprehension. My mind was racing a mile a minute as I vaguely heard them explain the rules of the ride. I was jolted out of my frantic thoughts as the ride started. We started going up the hill. With each tick my anxiety grew and I…
