It was finally the day that I had to pony up and ride the Wild Thing. Last time Macie and I went to Valleyfair, we made a promise that the next time we came, we had to ride it. We had been nervous to ride it because neither of us like heights or the feeling in your stomach when you go down a big drop. We planned to also ride the rest of the “big” rollercoasters. This trip to Valleyfair would be fun because our friends Evan, Zach, and Sam would be coming, who we met on our mission trip to Louisiana. Alli, a friend who moved to Grand Rapids, would also be tagging along. While I was getting ready for the bus ride, I was texting my friends, saying how excited I was. Of course, Macie and I were chatting about our anxiousness and seeing if …show more content…
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 hated it. It felt like whiplash and was much too aggressive for my taste. As we waited in the line to board the coaster, we saw Sam, Evan, and Zach finish the ride. They were laughing and smiling. We waved to them and gave them nervous smiles. When it was time to ride, we got in our seats and slowly took off. Up, up, up, side turn, and then I was laughing. Although it was still a pretty aggressive ride, I was enjoying myself. I was ready to ride the Wild …show more content…
We sat outside by the karaoke center, where we saw our friends. We told them that we planned to go to the waterpark, to ride the family slide and lazy river, after lunch. Sam was interested in going too, so we decided to meet with him when we were done. The family slide was worth the wait. The side I sat on went on all the high curves, so I felt like I was going to fall on Sam and Alli! After that excitement, we relaxed in the lazy river. We floated around it twice, thinking about what we wanted to do next. We decided to go to the area where Steel Venom and Northern Lights. Alli, Macie, and I remembered how much fun we had the previous year on the Northern Lights, and wanted Sam to enjoy it too. Alli also wanted to ride Steel Venom, even I was giving that I thought. After we rode Northern Lights a few times, Alli and I got in line for Steel Venom, while Macie and Sam chose to watch. I was shaking in line. Alli was excited and I just hoped to like it. We were locked in our seats, and the operator was giving the all clear signal. The fake screams started playing and we were off. We traveled forward and up at high speeds. Then we were going backwards, and our feet were dangling and my face felt numb from hanging there. After the ride was finished, I didn’t think any other ride could beat this one. This was easily my favorite so
My next journey was in a month, and I was on my way to the next big rodeo, Nationals. I expected the same response from people there as here, but I was hopeful for it. With this thought, I smiled.
On this ride riders experience the Sun, Mars, the Asteriod Belt, Sattilites, and the Moon. During this ride the space craft shaped car will speed down a dark purple track. This ride also offers a one of a kind single seat at the sheer point of the space shuttle shaped car giving the rider a once in a lifetime experience. The ride will deliver a very thrilling ride with the ride twisting around itself. This will produce a very intense ride. Apollo 11 being the first space shuttle to accomplish the first moon landing will make this ride have excellent theming and will make you feel like its real. The ride will cause riders to feel all the insane moments these astronauts had when they were the first men on the moon. The ride will put rides through a series 9 elements, including 3 inversions. Rides will spiral up the first hill and it will be the first of its type. Also with the outer seats will provide a similar ride to coasters similar to skyrush nevertheless this roller coaster will be the first roller coaster with winged seats to go upside down. This all causes this coaster one of the ultimately unique roller
As time went by, we were hungry, so we ate food and bought drinks during the day. While we ate lunch, my friend told me that he still was hungry, so he got more food! After lunch, we changed into our bathing suits and decided to go to the water park. We went down long water slides. “I’m not going in the lazy river,” shouted Gavin.
I was sitting in a basement that smelled bad and was stuffy, I needed to get out of there. I was with my friend who liked to ride bikes. So, we decided to ride bikes. Outside we only had 1 normal bike, the other was an old bike with a banana seat on it. I lost a coin toss so I had to ride the trashy bike that had trouble even going straight. There was a trail down at the park where we would ride the bikes. We thought we would go there first and then go climb on playground after. At the very beginning of the trail there’s this difficult hill that goes pretty fast and shoots you right at a left turn. If you didn’t slow down and turn fast enough you would crash.
People can be very wild when it comes to amusement parks and their widespread excitement. Although if you think about it, roller coasters and amusement parks are one of many examples of how physics is used. To make an amazing and exciting amusement park, workers have to use their physical knowledge to bring out the best of their out of each of their rides. After all, the roller coaster excitement about riding a roller coaster is not about their high speed. What makes a roller coaster excited is mostly due to their acceleration and the feeling of weightlessness.
Have you ever felt the rushing wind on your face while spiraling through the air? Well if so, then you have probably been on a roller coaster. This October was the first time that I have been on a roller coaster. Traveling with a group of friends, went to the Haunt Night at Worlds of Fun. It was quite an thrilling experience. There were zombies and goblins prowling around, waiting to give you a scare. When we were on our way I was nervous, but excited. As we all trudged up, Keeshawn, Paige, Makenna, Cooper, Katie, and I went to the first ride, The Patriot.
Now let me take you back to my 10th grade year of high school, Its August, so the school year has barely set in. Yet my mind was already racing. It was time to go to Six Flags "Georgia’s most notable theme park". This year was nothing special though, because I planned on it being no different from any other time I went. I usually don’t do anything out of my comfort zone. My mission was to just chill, have fun, and socialize. I intended casually observing the park attendees because Six Flags draws in an array of different personalities. One thing I couldn’t do, though was listen to my Mom complain to my Dad that she’s ready to go, so I normally veered off to avoid hearing it. That usually led to me just wandering
The next day we went to Hollywood Studios at Disney World. It was really hot that day, but it was still super fun. That was my first time going on a roller coaster. I was really scared, but my parents convinced me to go on one, and now I love roller coasters! We went on this ride that was supposed to be like flying through the sky around the world called Soarin’. It was a really cool experience. We also went on this ride called the Tower Of Terror. It was really fun.
The first ride I will be talking about is Vertical Velocity, the “Midwest’s most extreme thrill ride,” that was introduced in 2001. Vertical Velocity is the epitome of all things physics, Vertical Velocity is a “clean, strong, U-shaped steel track spikes up in two impossibly high directions, one in an ultra-twisted inline curve, and the other straight up.” The ride goes up 185 feet on both towers, going at a speed of 70 meters per second in just four seconds. The people riding Vertical Velocity, get thrown into a “spiraling impulse coaster,”with the help of an “electromagnetic propulsion system.” An electromagnetic propulsion system
We woke up early the next morning to start heading towards the river. When we got there I was happy to finally be out of the truck. I was ready and prepared to get in the water. Especially because it was so hot!

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.
The first ride on one of these fantastic beasts gave me an instant rush of adrenaline. As the death-defying ride started, a lump in my throat pulsed like a dislodged heart ready to walk the plank. As the ride gained speed, the resistance to gravity built up against my body until I was unable to move. An almost imperceptible pause as the wheel reached the top of its climb allowed my body to relax in a brief state of normalcy. Then there was an assault of stomach-turning weightlessness as the machine continued its rotation and I descended back toward the earth. A cymbal-like crash vibrated through the air as the wheel reached bottom, and much to my surprise I began to rise again.
Then, something happened, something just clicked and I started to enjoy the ride not be scared of it. I started to laugh and stick my hands up and my aunt looked happy as well. We went everywhere. We twisted and turned and looped upside down, it was so much fun! We got off after going for what seemed like nothing it seemed like time had stopped while we were on there then Snap! Just like that we pulled into the station and the seats opened as we slowly got
After we got off the airplane, we rented a car and drove to my Uncle Joe?s house. We finally got there and then we all went out to eat dinner. We went to some Italian restraunt and boy was it good. To this day, I have never tasted anything as good as the Veal Picata I had that day. I ate so much that I could hardly move and once I got back to my uncle?s, I just passed out and went to bed. I had a big and exciting day ahead of me. I was going to Universal Studios and I couldn?t wait.
