Narrative Essay On Six Flags

It was the summer of 2015, and this was an usual summer; hot and humid. Me being a college student at Emory University and working at Six Flags I was always busy. Today was one of those days. I have to clock in at Six Flags at 6:00 pm, and then be on time for finals at 8:00 pm.

“I don’t wanna die!”, the lady next to me screamed. My already scared mind was now even more afraid. It had all started when I wanted to go to Six Flags Magic Mountain. It was Summer 2015 and we were in Los Angeles at the time. After much begging with my parents, we finally decided to go to Six Flags. As we pulled into the parking lot, I was amazed at how tall the rides were. Then I felt my heart sink as I started to feel nervous. We bought our tickets and walked to the Lex Luthor’s Drop of Doom ride. My dad said that it would be a good ride to get us into the mood. As we walked to the line, I could feel the heat of the black asphalt reflecting back onto me. It was over 30 degrees and there was no nearby shade. The sun was shining in my eyes, but we eventually made it to the lineup. The line was located in a building resembling a shed. The moment we stepped in, I could feel the air conditioning cooling my face. This was it, only half an hour worth of waiting in line left. Eventually, we started to move in the line and soon we got to the point where the line exits the shed and is outside. We were almost there. I could feel it! Then people started pushing against us. I heard murmur in the crowds. People were leaving the line. I asked one of the Six Flags employees what was happening. She told me that the ride had broken down and they were waiting to repair it. My heart started racing and my mind began to panic. The threat of the ride breaking down on me and potentially dying

My artifact that shows my success is a cheer trophy that my team and I won in Vegas at a competition. The trophy is significant to me because it took a lot of hard work for our team to perform at this competition.

At Six Flags New England, a teen lesbian couple were attacked by two women which alleged to be a hate crime. The two women attacked and injured the lesbian couple because they had observed the couple kissing. The women could have had an negative experience with a lesbian, which would make them want to attack, or they could have grew up in a household where lesbian was not allowed and they stuck with them as they have gotten older. Whatever the case may be, the lesbian couple did not deserve to be harmed in any way for being themselves. The lesbian couple was minding their business, having a good time with one another at six flags. This would make a person question did the two attackers come to six flags to start conflict or to have fun?

It was a partially sunny day at the rowdy Six Flags park, I was with friends and family. Throughout the car ride all anyone could talk about was how they were going to ride the horrific Goliath. Goliath is a roller coaster at Six Flags that I personally think is terrifying. When we got there had talked to one of the people at the entrance and we mentioned they we were going to go on Goliath. She had said “ I went on there once it was horrible never again”. Me being the little chicken I am I said “ Forget this I'm not going”! Everyone looked at me kinda like they were disappointed, My brother said “ Come on you gotta do this it's not even that scary”. So then I said “ Fine I’ll go”. Well that was a mistake. Walked over to the ride

It was mid-afternoon, and we had already been on a few rides, but mostly waited in super long lines. We were headed to the food court, when my friend Lauren Kurzawa pointed out X-Flight. This was completely new territory for me, because it went upside-down, and I had never done that before. Not wanting to be a chicken, I went on it. I was so nervous, I was probably shaking. We got on towards the front, and the ride started. At first, it was super scary, but then I let go, and enjoyed the freedom of the ride. It was one of the funnest things I have ever done in my entire life! It felt amazing to just be flying through the air, and feel weightless. I can’t wait to go back again sometime, and I’m glad I decided to try

We got out our fast passes which is a card that you put 3 rides on ,and you get in the fastpass line for it and you get through the line super quick.But we were going to ride Mt Everest at disney's animal kingdom. Me and my cousin gabbi were so excited we were about to pop, so we got in line,the fastpass line we waited for 10 min to get on the ride. Me and my cousin got on the cart with each other, and our moms got in the cart behind us. The carts were brown and big with a seat belt and a big thing that goes over your head to keep you in. The ride started

we were on the biggest roller coaster at Michigan's adventure it was called shivering timbers and right there I was alone with my little sister Sophia on a giant roller coaster halfway up the mountain they call a track we stay in our seats gazing in mortal terror and excitement at the top of the tower where the red light and the American flag is. we passed the American flag and went down going at what seems to be a million miles per hour. As I put my hands up in terror

We nervously walked into my parent’s house around 10am, and like always, both of them were up eating breakfast. They questioned how my friend was and how Amanda’s night with Amber was. Amanda played the sick card very well for them and I told them my friend was annoying. My parent’s asked if everything was ok with Amanda, so I told them that she probably just needs to sleep. I went upstairs to make sure my sister was okay, and she was in bed with a pounding headache. Before I rushed off to work I gave her some Ibuprofen, gave her a hug and told her good luck.

I told myself that I wouldn’t do it. The long wait and constant thoughts of “what if?”, almost made me not ride my first rollercoaster. My friends continuously affirmed me that I was going to be okay and that I was going to thank them afterwards. After an hour of waiting, we made it to the loading platform. The employee counted us off and lead us to our seats, or as I thought our deaths. There was no going back after that big, red harness came over me. The cart jolted forward and started to go up the steep incline. My heart was pounding in my chest and I started to screams as we had reached the top. I looked down to my death and instantly felt panicked. The next thing I knew my body was lifted out of the seat, wind was racing at me, and I

Two years ago at Busch Gardens, my Mom and Dad convinced me to go on a roller coaster called the Griffin. I was only ten. My whole body was very nervous, and my fingers were fidgeting. As I flopped in the first row, I pulled the v-shaped plastic harness over my head. I clicked the seat belt and tightened it. We started riding up I could hear the clicking of the roller coaster: click click click click click click. When we reached the top, I was going crazy. I thought I was going to die. We started to advance down, then suddenly stopped. We were dangling off for 3 seconds,hanging over the side 60 feet up but it felt analogous to 30 seconds. Then we started to advance down It was really fast and I couldn't see; we went upside down and sideways.

Six Flags offers its deepest apologies to our patrons, stakeholders, and anyone who was affected by our crisis

Well during the ride I went all the way up and zooped down and this is how I felt, when I rode the roller coaster I was for sure I was going to fall to my doom. I didn't give up on the sight of that thing but I rode it anyway. My mom rode the roller coaster with me she gave up because after the ride she felt really sick. I also had help from my dad who drove us to Magic Springs.

At 6 A.M. I awoke to bright lights and loud footsteps of my parents getting ready before we headed to Florida for three weeks to see my aunt and uncle. After I had fully woken up I got myself dressed and put my things in the car.
