It was spring 2014, I slowly walked into the grand entrance of the Santa Cruz boardwalk. It was was about my 3rd time going there, except finally, I was tall(and brave) enough to ride my first roller coaster. Our parents had gotten us a ticket discount, so the whole day ticket was almost free. But first things first, I had to eat lunch. I think I had a hotdog and a drink that day, and I inhaled my food and drinks like a vacuum cleaner and soon I got really full. But actually, I just wanted to just relax that day, but I was going to have fun, so I knew I should complain. My sister was also hyped as if she had sugar injected into her blood streams, and my parents were feeling just,”meh,” about it. “Let’s go already!” my sister yelled from about 12 feet away. “Hey! Wait up!” I yelled back. We first got on some random rides, like the gigantic swing or a dizzy spinning ride. I got on a viking ride and I felt dizzy and nauseous by the time I got down. I also rode a ride called the logger’s revenge, which is just a water slide you ride on, except you’re in a log. I always liked that and we rode on it twice. “Well, that was fun,” We all agreed. “I think it’s time to go on the roller coaster!” my sister said, which didn’t really help, because I was trying to avoid that, since I saw my older cousin hurl after one …show more content…
Suddenly, I was dropped into a void like area, which I couldn’t see a single thing. I thought the roller coaster stopped, but the wind around me and the rustling sounds told me we were moving. After 12 seconds, we entered direct sunlight, and I had to adjust my eyes to the brightness. I looked back, and behind me, my dad looked have awe struck, and half just plainly shocked. My sister said something, but I didn’t listen, I was too focused on the top of the rails and how long it would take. I closed my eyes before my dad said to look behind
It was the summer of 2012 and my family was taking another trip to Six Flags Great America. Earlier that summer we went just for me to be disappointed. At the time I wasn’t 54 inches yet and couldn’t ride any of the rides that I wanted to because they were the most popular at the amusement park. But, I hit a growth spurt between trips and we planned to ride all of the big rollercoasters. The one that I was most terrified of at the time was Raging Bull, one of the tallest, fastest, and longest steel coasters in the US. As we started to wait in line for the ride I was shaking with both anticipation and fear and began to rethink my idea to ride the rollercoaster. I decided to stay in line and see what many people thought was a great coaster.
Carowinds is compiled of many gravity-defying rides. Top Gun: The Jet Coaster is the Carolinas’ only inverted steel roller coaster. While on the ride, you are hurled through six swirling inversions while in the air. The Vortex is a stand-up roller coaster that takes you on a 50 m.p.h. series of loops and drops. Drop Zone Stunt Tower is a ride where you can experience the rush of gravity as you descend sixteen stories in seconds
I love riding four wheelers. I also love to adventure so I guess you could say my character trait is being adventurous. I’ve been riding my whole life, you think I’m kidding but my mom even rode four wheelers when she was pregnant with me so yeah. I got my very first four wheeler when I was three and I rode it till I was nine, but then I wanted to ride with the big boys or girls or whatever. When I was ten I got Yamaha blaster two hundred. It was my first manual transmission four wheeler. It was also a fixer upper, so I restored it to original condition and learned valuable knowledge along the way. So now I know a lot about four wheelers. When I got done fixing it it was a lot better than before. So I figured I was ready to learn how ride a
The sound of music, filling the air with happiness, resonates throughout the area. The scent of delicious buttery popcorn and glazed turkey legs that go on for miles and miles. The feeling of excitement coming into the place is felt in the atmosphere. It is the image of a once in a lifetime moment. When people come in, their imaginations become reality. The name describes itself perfectly. Walt Disney World is the place of dreams and imagination. People come from all around the world to see the rides, characters, food and the entertainment of Walt Disney World. I remember when I went to Disney World this past March. It was the third time I have gone to Disney World. To see the amazement and the expectation of the

Have you ever been on a roller coaster.? Well I have. Roller coasters are fun and scary at the same time. It’s like your heart drops to your feet and your chest comes up to your throat. That feeling is awesome.! Have you ever ridden the furry 365 at carowinds? That is an insane roller coaster. I bet you haven’t ridden the tennessee tornado.? I rode it with my dad it was fun and scary at the same time. On the roller coaster you go from loop to loop. There are at least three loops in the whole track all spread out. But it is fun anyway, in fact it is so fun that you will want to ride it over and over again. I hope you get to ride the fire express. It is in tennessee. My dad,my brother,and I all rode the fire express together and had A good time.
Before we even got to ride one ride everybody was hungry. So my mom bought us some pizza and sodas. The pizza was really good, it had hamburger meat and mushrooms; which is my favorite food to eat. As we were eating our food, we glanced at some of the rollercoasters, planning out which ones we were going to ride. In my opinion it was like a play land for teenagers.
S.H.I.E.L.D's Character Coaster It was my first day at Six Flags California. We were coming here for an end of the year school field trip. My best friend, Jackson, and I spent most of the day wondering around the park, playing games and riding smaller rides. You see, I had only been on a roller coaster once, and after that I vowed to never go on one again. The force at which the ride pushed on against my body caused me to accelerate at such a rate where I almost threw up.
Macie, Alli, and I warmed up with the Corkscrew and later rode the High Roller and the Excalibur. I had never ridden either the High Roller or the Excalibur, so it was already surprised at how much I was enjoying the roller coasters. I was starting to really love the adrenaline rush and the whips and turns. Before lunch, we went to the Renegade. I had been on this ride, three years prior.
I could see everyone going on about their business. As I was looking forward, I saw it. It was a never-ending void, of a 90-degree angle drop. As I walked into the amusement park, I could see loads of balloons, cotton candy, and astronomically immense roller coasters. These weren't your average roller coasters.
My back is so sore, and I’m feeling tired from the long drive ss we are just getting into Edmonton, cruising in my mom’s grey minivan, I say to my mother “are we almost there yet?” yes, but looks like we’ll be stopping for coffee my girl’ mom says to me, I sit back and light a cigarette, looking out the window at all the traffic listening to the radio.
With music blasting, voices singing and talking, it was another typical ride to school with my sister. Because of our belated departure, I went fast, too fast. We started down the first road to our destination. This road is about three miles long and filled with little hills. As we broke the top of one of the small, blind hills in the middle of the right lane was a dead deer. Without any thought, purely by instinct I pulled the wheel of the car to the left and back over to the right. No big deal but I was going fast. The car swerved back to the left, to the right, to the left. Each time I could feel the car scratching the earth with its side. My body jolted with the sporadic movements of the car. The car swerved to the right for the last time. With my eyes sealed tight, I could feel my body float off the seat of the car.
As I began to imagine the roller-coaster, where numerous people had been before me, a shiver had tingled down my spine. Goose bumps had spread all over my arms and my knees began to tremble as I picture the towering heights of the coasters. We had settled into our hotel before and freshened up after our long ride. I tried faking a stomach ache so I could get out of it. Sadly, my mom clasped both her arms on my shoulders and said, “Ashley, you will be okay.”
My family and I arrived at the theme park, after being herded like cattle through the parking lot. In the parking garage the voices of children and families echoed off the walls. When we finally got to the gates I could hear the rollercoaster roaring down the tracks off in the distance. As we walked towards the first one we could all feel the sun beating directly down on us. The heat was so thick it was as if we were swimming through it.
I have always been fascinated by carnival rides. It amazes me that average, ordinary people eagerly trade in the serenity of the ground for the chance to be tossed through the air like vegetables in a food processor. It amazes me that at some time in history someone thought that people would enjoy this, and that person invented what must have been the first of these terrifying machines. For me, it is precisely the thrill and excitement of having survived the ride that keeps me coming back for more.
