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.

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.
