From childhood enjoyment, sitdown rides to stomach dropping, mood killing, but thrilling roller coasters. Many people love amusement parks. My family has an unofficial, tendency to go to at least one amusement park every year. Although we go quete frequently, this year my family is very indecisive on whether we should go to Disneyland or Six Flags. We have had many good and bad experiences at either park over the past few years. Two years ago we went to Disneyland for our family trip. It was a breathtaking experience. I remember when I first walked through the disney gates. Upon walking in, I immediately looked around in awe. As soon as I saw the signature Mickey Mouse head in the grass I instantaneously felt the vast amount of wonder and excitement …show more content…
If you're lucky, the day your family decides to go to Disneyland the lines will be shorter. Unfortunately for us—we were not so lucky. Each line was at least an hour to an hour and a half long, especially for the rides that drew in a lot more children. While waiting my enthusiasm level for the ride slowly decreased but my anticipation level was still high. Once we were able to get aboard the ride, my family and I sat back and relaxed as the animated and moving simulators entertained us. Following the ride I felt better than before and I could tell my family did too. All of us couldn’t be more happy. We kept this same trend for the rest of the day. Once we left the park we were all tired and sad to go. But I knew I would be able to share this amazing experience with others later on in life. Although the Disney trip was great, this past year we changed it up. We decided to go to Six Flags instead. I remember during the car ride and while waiting to get in the park I felt so anxious. I couldn’t keep still. Upon arrival I could almost feel the immensity of the roller coasters towering over the park. Even my family was starting to feel apprehensive about going but we all soon got over it and decided to work our way up in intensity. So I grabbed a map and we all made our way through the
Most individuals are familiar with Disneyland, otherwise known as the happiest place on earth. Walt Disney, the founder, envisioned a theme park where families can have fun and create memories together. With his vision, he created a magical world with five different lands both adults and children can enjoy.
The first day we got there we just hanged out at the hotel all day. It was 78 degrees Fahrenheit and sunny. It was 8AM in the morning when I saw the pool. Now at first I was very disappointed that it was shutdown because they needed to put chemicals in it. At 11 it finally opened up and I was WOWED. The Pool was amazing. It was sparkling Blue and the water was as clear as glass. That's why we stayed in it all day. The second day we went to Sea World. We hadn't been to Sea World yet until that day where we learned why it's one of the best Disney parks. We entered at the gate where we saw the ride of a lifetime The Manta. The Manta is a ride that makes you go backwards on almost the whole ride. It is the scariest ride I have ever seen. None of my family did that for just that reason. First we went to the Dolphin show which was really cool. It was so cool because the actors and actresses would jump into the water and the Dolphins would come out and do tricks on them like skiing on top of them, and making them wave to the crowd. Then we to another show which is called Shamu. Shamu is a show about Wales that do all these tricks like splash us. I forgot to tell you but Garrett, Chloe, and I were all sitting in the splash zone and we were watching the Wales do all these tricks when the Disney people told us to get ready and Garrett and I didn't have enough time to react and two seconds later all of a sudden we got tsunamified, so soaked that there wasn't a single dry spot on my shirt. After that Chloe started crying and I had to bring her up to mom and dad who were in the last row of the stadium. Chloe was not happy for that part of the trip at Sea World. After both those shows it started raining so we finished up are day at going in a virtual helicopter and seeing all the Penguins and the Arctic Animals which was pretty cool. As soon as we got in the pilot we cranked that baby up until the heat felt like Florida instead of Maine. Speaking of Maine
I got to go to Six Flags in the summer with my parents. I loved all of the rides in Six Flags except for roller coasters. Why don’t I like roller coasters? Well, the main reasons why I don’t like roller coasters was that I am scared of heights. I remember seeing the roller coasters and they towered up so high. My family and I went to Six Flags together because we thought that it would be fun to spend time with each other.
“I can’t wait for Disney!” I exclaimed. I saw Space Mountain in the distance and my stomach started to churn, and I had butterflies in my stomach. I knew I had to ride it, but I had always been scared of roller coasters. The ride looked scarier than Steel Venom at ValleyFair.
Every year as a tradition my family gets together to go on a vacation to Orlando, Florida during the summer. Though it may be the same location every year, we create new experiences with each visit. As a tradition we go on a ten hour road trip to city of Disney World. During the ride we listen to the playlist my dad made for the car ride.Rick Astley plays in the background as we sing along to the classic road trip tunes. Til this day whenever “Never Gonna Give You Up” comes on I immediately reminisce the car rides to Orlando. Upon arriving we explore the amusement parks Orlando has to offer. Every heart jittering ride, particularly ‘The Hulk’ at Universal Studios, is worth the wait just to complete an experience of a lifetime. Each summer I
Amusement parks are always a must for those hot, summer days. People want to enjoy their time riding all sorts of thrilling roller coasters and frightening rides. Amusement parks like Lake Winnie and Six Flags are great options to choose from, but sometimes that can be a difficult decision. For families determining whether to go to Lake Winnie or Six Flags, one must consider the differences in the roller coasters, water parks, and food options.
One summer, the Lane family planned to go to Six Flags. I was probably in third grade. We were (or at least I was) absolutely ecstatic! I love roller coasters with all my heart! The rush and the drops that turn your stomach into jelly are simply breathtaking! When you go to Six Flags over Georgia, or any other amusement park, your goal should be to get to the gate as early as possible in order to get to the best rides before anyone else does. The experience is even better if you can ride the best one multiple times. My unofficial job as a Lane family roller coaster fanatic is to set up the schedule for the day, especially because I am the youngest in the family. Our first priority was the Goliath. All that came between us and the main event was one hill and a left turn. As we headed down the path to our destination, I couldn’t help but think about how much FUN we were about to have. It was about 10 am. The crowds will start filling the empty gaps in the park at any time now. I became truly excited when I began to think about the rush I might get when gliding down the first enormous drop. I couldn’t wrap my head around the fact that someone thought up the idea of having entertainment you can ride that’s bigger than the eye can see. Suddenly, my
Before, every time I went to Six Flags I kept trying to get on and survive a roller coaster, but it always ended in tears. I would watch as my sister, brother, dad and mom would go up and down, side to side and I would just watch. Then I don't know
I remember a day when I was walking in the Six Flags theme park in Texas with my best friend. The smell of popcorn and candy and the feeling of excitement from the little kids coming for the first time with the grandparents just enjoying the family experience. We were walking down the winding stone pathways, waiting for our next adventure at every turn. Trying not to leave our parents behind, we ran ahead enough to be in eyesight, but we were going at our own pace. He and I stood amazed at the sight of the gigantic rides as their shadows were cast down over us. The mini-shops and food stand would attract our little noses at the sight and smell of every peculiar food and trinket imaginable. My Friend, Rhett, suggested we go try a roller coaster. At first, I thought he was just joking around trying to scare me. I asked him what he really wanted to do and after that I realized that he wasn’t joking.
Attention getter: Disney World has always been known as the happiest place on earth. I went there as a kid and haven’t forgotten my experience since. (Talk about how you got sick) Disney World has touched the hearts of kids for more than 50 years.
This all started with my parent’s brilliant idea to take me to Disney World. As any 8-year-old would have reacted to such amazing news, I completely lost it. To my memory, I think I might have just turned the house upside down, literally making the clean family room into a war zone. And of course, I had to brag to all my friends at school of this amazing trip I had the opportunity to go on. I was so ecstatic that every night I crossed off the days left until the trip. After what had felt like an eternity, we headed to the airport to fly to Orlando.
The ground looked up at me menacingly. After an agonizing 2 minutes, we reached the curve at the top of the hill. As we rounded the bend, I glimpsed the drop ahead. The butterflies drummed twice as hard now. Then, the end of the curve was upon me, and we stopped! “What happened? Is something wrong?” All of the sudden, the brakes gave way. A yell tore itself from my lungs as we flew down the hill. My hands gripped the armrests like there was no tomorrow. But then, after the initial drop, excitement flared through me. “This is the best rollercoaster ever!” I thought to myself. The coaster took me up, down, and all around. It felt like I was flying, we were going so fast. But, to my despair, all roller coasters end. As we pulled up to the dismount station, I thought to myself, “I’m never going to forget this!”
I remember planning for this day for about two years. When I would finally get the chance to be with my best friends and take a road-trip to California to go to Disney Land, and now that the time to take that trip has come and gone I would like to talk about my most important journey.
The night before we began our journey to Orlando, I didn’t get much sleep. My eyes were wide open like an owl most of the night, tossing and turning under my cloudy soft comforter thinking about what awaited me the next 24 hours. I have always been interested about what it would be like to go on a roller coaster, but I hated the feeling of weightlessness like a balloon. I even hated going on elevators, just the thought of all that force sent a shivering sensation throughout my body that made me agonizingly uncomfortable. Nevertheless, there was a roaring lion fearlessness within me that wanted to indulge on this endeavor. In the morning we pack the family SUV as if we were sardines in a can and headed out to Islands of Adventure.
Finally the day has came, ever since I was born I have dreamed of going to Disneyland. Tomorrow my mom, dad (Bob), sister (Emily) and I are leaving to go there. (THE NEXT DAY!) ¨YAYYYY!” I shouted . (2 HOURS LATER) It was everything I had ever dreamed of. Except there was this sign in the front before we checked in. It read: RULES; 1. NEVER feed the animals. 2. Listen to the instructors, and most importantly DON´T stay all day and night, pick one . What I thought of the rules, well first of all rule one is probably so they don don't get spoiled. Number too is so they don't have bratts running everywhere. Thirdly rule three is probably so you don't get heat stroke.(We Walked In) O M G ! It was everything I have ever dreamed of. Better than any picture I have ever seen, or movie I have ever watched!! The lights were as sparkly as dancing stars, the music was was like all the happiness combine. The air smelled of magic, and most of all… The rides were between scary, cute, and funny! This day might just be the best day of my entire life! I know the rules said not to stay all day, but again it is probably just so you don't get heat stroke or something. We played on all day and went on almost every ride. I know the sun was setting and it was getting dark, but I had to go on the ride that we skipped. It was the haunted house ride, I was terrified and always have been terrified of that ride. Earlier that day we heard this story about that exact same haunted house, the exact same
