to enter. I could see several roller coasters rushing through the air, their tracks gleaming in the sunlight and looking huge against the blue sky. I was elated to be going to Europa Park for the first time with my friends in the band I was a part of.

"Life can be like a roller coaster...and just when you think you've had enough, and you're ready to get off the ride and take the calm, easy merry-go round...you change your mind, throw your hands in the air and ride the roller coaster all over again", says Stacey Charter.
