Its corners and resting stops were all adorned with Halloween decorations; little pumpkins, eerie ghosts, cobwebs, and sometimes-even spiders. As we walked around I saw all types of people. Young, old, grump, happy, and exhausted people clustered in large masses, somehow getting from one place to the other without being hindered. The glittering rides that embroidered the skyline promised a day full of fun and memories. We decided to start with big roller coasters and slowly make our way through the park, gradually approaching my doom. My sister and I rode everything we could get in, while my mom and dad stepped aside for some rides. Nonetheless, We waited in line after line, and rode roller coaster after the other. They were colored in reds and blues, and included twists and falls that would give me goose bumps every time. I liked all of the ones that were big and scary.
