Everyone fears something. It’s a natural instinct we all have, a trait necessary for survival, but it is nothing to be ashamed of. I can honestly say that I am the most timid person ever known to man–not even joking. I freaked out when a bunch of pigeon surrounded me in New York. I ran through those winged rats like a minefield, hands up screaming. I fear centipedes, I fear blood, I fear knives. What I find most frightening is the demented works of men like horror movies, but nothing is more terrifying than the demonic creation of man’s desire for the extreme, roller coasters. I have feared roller coasters for the longest time. The first time I ever rode a roller coaster was with my parents at the young age of seven. We went to Michigan Adventure and at the start I was enjoying myself riding the smaller rides. Though my bravery brother was not content with with these baby rides and said he wanted to ride a real rollercoaster, and so he whined, he cried, and he begged until they finally broke down and agreed to his demands. …show more content…
I stood in that line waiting for my demise, with a smile on my face not knowing the terror I was about to face, until finally I reached the casket.
The experience left a vivid memory, I remember everything from the slow creek up the slope, to the rapid decent down slope, and the swift turns left to right. I became stiff, tears running down my eyes in streams as I hear the jovial screams around me, though my scream was more comparable to that of a banshee. As soon as I was free from the torment I ran into my mother's arms for comfort and cried until my father got me chocolate to shut me up. A moment that would ruin roller coasters for me for years to come. But I did not allow one experience to rule all
When the ferry ride was over we exited the boat, hand in hand. Enjoying the moment, I was in, I felt as if this day couldn’t get any better. We had our fair share of on lookers as we walked around the park, but I didn’t care. This man has breathed new life in me, caressing my dark soul and bringing light back into it again. I was becoming head over heels, and I just met him. I had no idea for the rollercoaster ride I just entered, but then again, not all great love stories start with a prince charming. We arrived at the building that house all the elevators that take you behind the caves and shows you what the falls look like from the other side. Everything but the door was all glass.
Are you scared of roller coasters? I used to be scared but I end up overcoming my challenge. Only a few years ago I would not ride a roller coaster if my life depend on it. They horrified me. I hated the feeling of weightlessness. The zero gravitational force sent a tingling sensation into every extremity of my body which me excruciatingly uncomfortable. I despised ascending to such towering heights. I worried that the coaster would break, and I would be stuck on a wobbly track, hundreds of feet in the air, waiting for hours to be rescued. Going upside down scared me the most. I feared that I would fall out at the top and plummet to terrain below.
As odd as it sounds a roller coaster did in fact help develop my most important relationship. From as early as I can remember, my family has had the annual tradition of visiting Dorney Park. This trip was always the highlight of my summer and holds some of the most important bonding moments I have with my cousin Nick. The day was always all about us. We sat next to each other on every ride, shared a variety of greasy foods, and most importantly, we rode Steel Force as much as possible. Nick has Down Syndrome, and pretty much whatever he says goes. This is how our tradition of Steel Force started. After riding it for the first time, Nick and I loved it more than life. We would run up the steps to the ride, pop in the first open seat, ride the coaster, jump off, look at our strategically planned on-ride photo, and repeat. This yearly tradition
Identify The Problem: Roller Coasters are some of the most fun folks will ever experience in their lifetime. The drastic turns and wheels, as well as the high pitched screaming from all of the riders, Roller Coasters are always a delight. But besides all of the fun, scientists and engineers have to ensure that their rides are safe for everyone. They apply their knowledge of the physical world, so that they could design ideas to guarantee 100% safety when it comes to riding their gigantic coaster. We will be designing a Roller Coaster that includes all of these things, and will provide us a got education on physics and all of the different energies (1,1). Although, for our experiment we will only be designing paper made roller coasters, that
My roller coaster is called, The Cheesy Coaster. The reason I named it The Cheesy Coaster is because it is cheesy. This roller coaster is not a very scary and it’s not very steep so if you don’t like steep roller coaster don’t be scared to try this one out I bet you’ll be fine. It also could make you enjoy highest roller coaster if you enjoy this one that much. This roller coaster is not very long and it does not go super fast like other roller coasters you might know. It starts out slow then you go up a hill I don’t wanna say a big hill, but it’s not a small hill so it’s not a very big hill but it is a little high but that won’t stop you from trying it out I bet. While you are riding it is playing music super loud and it might distract you
When you see the rollercoaster line. The entrance door has an amazing and wacky art design with many colors. As soon as you enter the coaster there is a decent sized room with multiple mirrors that make you look like different things such as one mirror could make you look like you are very tall and skinny or another could make you very chubby and short. Once you pass that room you go into another room that is just glass above you and to your sides so it looks like you are in a tube under water which you practically are. As you look around you see multiple species of fish and you also see the tube that the roller coaster goes through. So you are practically going across the river under water. As soon as you go out the other side you are still
The literal definition of fear states that it is “a distressing emotion aroused by impending danger” (Dictionary.com). It’s something we have all experienced, and always will. It is hard to escape, and it can find you anywhere. It can be small, or it could be overwhelming. Sometimes it even eats you from the inside out with stress. No matter who you are, you’re going to have a fear of something, whatever it may be. Even Indiana Jones, one of the coolest, bravest men in the movies had a fear of snakes. I’ve had my own fearful experiences, such as when I was afraid of touching a fish, my first high school football game, and my childhood fear of high dives. Going through these frightful experiences have made me the person I am today, and they
Imagine gazing at dozens of people riding a roller coaster, and debating whether or not you should take a ride. Imagine stepping into the line that leads to the first roller coaster you’ve ever ridden. Today was the day, that I would ride my first roller coaster. On a bright sunny day in June, I was at Adventureland with my aunt and uncle. The smells of sugar and dough filled my nose as we strolled past the food carts.
Fearless and vulnerable, I was ready to face my biggest fear ever. My heart was beating a million times per minute and my nerves were exposed to everyone within a two mile radius. “I don’t know if I want to go” I said to my mother. In the next breath I was saying “I want to go so bad, what’s taking so long?” After waiting for ten minutes-- which felt like four years-- it was finally my turn.
I have this fear that causes my body to shake. When I think about it, my skin becomes pale and cold. It’s death speeding through my mind. Once I have seen these monstrous roller coasters, the only thing in my mind was fear. Knowing that I’m afraid to go on these rides, I didn’t want to look like a fool in front of my friends. My mind is thinking of deadly thoughts. My palms were sweaty and I was twitching like a fish. I was petrified of heights.
Countless people all around the world love the feeling of an adrenaline rush. An infatuation with a racing pulse that makes your heart feel like it’s going to explode, accelerated respiration, as well as dizziness. Growing up I never understood this fascination. Mostly because It made me feel overwhelmed to the point that it would make me cry. Adrenaline for me was like the bully on the playground.

“Come on, do it!” my aunt exclaimed at me the day before our trip to the amusement park. My family would always take a trip to an amusement park every other summer. I was always scared about going on the roller coasters. So one day before the trip, my aunt wanted to push me and my sister to do something new through a bet. The bet was that I had to chose one ride or the other ride but I had to choose one. My sister chose the one I didn’t choose so we both had to go on separate rides. Then the one day came and my sister, me, my cousin and my aunt drove to the amusement park building up the anticipation each minute in the car.
I stepped onto the bus and was instantly aware of the chaos that accompanies the everyday bus ride home. I was never in the mood to deal with the commotion so I found a seat by myself in the back. I was thinking about what I was going to do when I got home as the bus pulled up to the first stop at the daycare. I noticed one of the day care providers standing outside awaiting the children to exit the bus.
