Roller Coasters-Personal Narrative

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.
While we take the walk up to the Patriot I started to feel anxious, Paige, Keeshawn and I are waiting for our turn. The roller coaster comes to a stop, and as people leave, we plopped

on. I sit in the middle of Keeshawn and Paige. I start to feel my hands get sweaty and butterflies flutter in my stomach. I did what no one should ever do, look down. The slow movement of the roller coaster got me pretty scared as I look around and see how high up the ride is. As the suspense builds, the roller coaster continues to ascend painfully slow. I start to see the people in front dip, and I start to hear terrified screams from the people in front. As our feet dangle from the red seats of The Patriot, we take a sharp turn and the next thing I know, the roller coaster goes upside down. I don’t know if I have ever been so startled in my life. As I panicked, I screamed, and looked over and saw Paige dying of laughter.
“Don’t tell anybody.” I said, feeling embarrassed.
Sadly, that didn’t happen and she told everyone else in our group. That was probably one of the most embarrassing moments that I have had in a really long time. After that experience, we decided to go to the Mamba. This ride wasn’t as scary because it didn’t go upside down. Well, that’s what I thought as we sit in the dark seats of the Mamba. During the slow movement of the ride going upwards I was a little nervous again, but I didn’t realize how high the dreaded ride went and that got me terrified. The ride went up slowly, and hurtled down head first. The Mamba wasn’t that bad, but I didn’t really like how high the ride went.
After that electrifying experience on the roller coasters, the group decided to explore. We hung out by the Panda Express, talking about the rides. By that time, everyone had eaten when we went to the maze. The maze’s name was The Boneyard. In the maze there were goblins and witches. All the goblins were around six feet tall and really buff. I wasn’t too fond of this maze because it was dark and scary, but I reluctantly went in anyways. Paige, Makenna and I went in the spooky maze together, while the others branched off. Right at the beginning of the Boneyard, there was someone at the gate ready to scare us. Unfortunately, I fell for it and so did the others. We jumped and screamed while the worker just laughed. During the spine-chilling time I was waiting for someone to jump out and scare me. It got kind of creepy when a goblin would walk behind you and breathe loudly. Most of the time it made me really uncomfortable, but helped the goblin succeed in startling us. While we walked near the end, there was a bridge with two figures under it. At first I saw the witch, but then there was a creepy guy in the shadows.
“What’s wrong, why won't you go through?” the terrifying witch cackled.
“Because I’m scared.” a guest at the park said, shuddering violently.
Lucky for that guy, the witch let him walk through. Paige, Makenna and I thankfully got out of that evil maze.
After that eerie Boneyard maze, there was a pathway that Paige, Makenna leading somewhere unknown. While walking, still spooked from that last event, we were approaching a house. I can’t recall the name of that alarming house, but it seemed interesting.
“ I think we went to the wrong line.” Paige said, her face scrunched with concerned.
“Stop, don’t say just walk behind me. Hopefully they won’t say anything.” I exclaimed in a rush to get in the house.
Paige was correct, we did go into the wrong line, but it worked out because we didn’t get in trouble and we cut everybody.

Once that was over, we walked into the sinister house. There wasn’t much room in the house so Paige and I walked side by side while Makenna was behind us. Throughout the beginning of the petrifying house every corner there was someone trying to scare me. The room we were in started to get dark and that got me frightened. Nothing bad happened, but in the room upcoming had those dazzling flashing lights. The lights were blinding and gave me a headache. When we were at this part of the haunted house, it was a struggle to walk through because of the harsh lights in my eyes. Fortunate for us that section wasn’t too long. Following the lights part the lasting haunted house’s time was coming to an end. The house wasn’t extremely scary subsequent of the lights part. Finally it came to an end and the journey in a haunted house was over.
Later, when we all met up, there were stories to tell of those events that occurred just before. We all shared a few laughs. Then everyone wanted to go on another roller coaster, so we decided to go on the Patriot again. This time I knew what was coming so I wasn’t as scared like last time. Just after that we had to leave Worlds of Fun. The crisp sound of the loud yell from the people on those rides were boisterous, even when we left the park. If I had a chance to go again, I would definitely take that

opportunity.
