Wooden roller coaster

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…

Cedar Point, the Roller Coaster Capital of the world, certainly lives up to its title. Scattered throughout the park are some of the most intense roller coasters you’ll ever hear of. I was fortunate enough to have experienced the phenomenon of riding atop the Top Thrill Dragster over summer vacation, which lasted only 20 seconds of real time, but will forever be embedded within my long-lasting memory. The fiery orange sun began to submerge below the line of the horizon, far out across the calm…

“How am I on this!” I yell as I wrap my sweaty hands tightly over the black side bars. The tallest roller coaster in the world, Kingda Ka. It looked down on us above our miniscule heads. I was with my best friend Jimmy, who is the crazy side of me. He asked me if I wanted to come to Six Flags with me one day. Of course, I said yes because Six Flags is a lot of fun. Why would I decline? Little did I know that I wasn’t getting the full experience unless I went on the big rides. The biggest thing I…

up and unblemished the house to make it look like a brand new shoe. This about the first time I rode a roller coaster at Mall of America. Walking to Mall of America the wind was characteristic with joy of wonder inside my ear. When I arrived the amusement park was voluminous like the inside of an mansion. Entering the amusement park I decided which roller coaster to ride. Love is a roller coaster because of the unbalance emotion you go through during the events. Checking my height I was…

On the 24th of June 2016, it was my first time driving. My first driving lesson with my mum. I drove from school to 7Eleven, Pacific Fair. I felt nervous but excited at the same time. From Pacific Fair, I decided to go to Southport, by tram, to go to Culture Kings to go and buy a pair of shoes. I also took my skateboard with me, so I could get there quicker. I got off the tram, skating around looking for ‘Culture Kings’. While on my skateboard I went over some bricks, riding very fast and fell…

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…

to conceal my mixed emotions of excitement and nervousness. I’ve always told myself that I would NEVER get on a roller coaster in my life, but here I was encased in the supposable safe orange bars that would prevent me from flying off the ride. “I’m so excited!” My former friend Jazz exclaimed as we began ascending sluggishly forward. It was too her first time going on a roller coaster and at that moment…

Whoosh! The big roller coaster zoomed past me. It was my first time at Six Flags. So far we had rode about six roller coasters and we were waiting in line to ride the Joker. I watched as each cart slowly crawled up the tracks till they reached the top, then all of a sudden the cart would begin to lean forward and spin upside down while it followed the track’s ups and downs until finally, Bam! Screech! Clunk! The cart would come to a screeching halt and as the people inside waited to be let…

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…

Carnival Time I opened my car door and stepped outside with Lyla. We walked to the Ticket booth to get our tickets so we can head to the rides. Lyla and I looked around wondering which ride we should go on. I saw coming from the corner of my eye KAMIKAZE. I looked at it and the ride started I looked at the people on it and they all looked scared THe ride slowly went up and down and a little higher up and down then even higher up and down then it flipped all the way upside down. I…
