Personal Narrative: My Experience At Seaworld

We were walking and then we stopped at the ride called “Boomerang”. The ride was another roller coaster. I begged my dad not to go on the ride because he said let’s go on the ride. Unfortunately, I gave up begging him and he we went in line. The good thing is that the line wasn’t really long. After waiting for twenty minutes, we finally got on the ride. I looked around and was frighten. I knew the ride would first turn forward and then backwards. The ride started and I screamed. The ride wasn’t as bad as “Medusa” which is a good thing. After the ride was done, I was happy to get off the ride.I thought the ride was actually really fun and I loved it.

Approximately, 22.4 million people attended SeaWorld last year. Sure, SeaWorld is fun and a great experience, but most of these people were oblivious to the way they treat their animals. I guarantee SeaWorld would run out of business if the world knew about their harsh treatment of animals. Not only are they taking these animals from their homes in the wild, they are imprisoning them in tiny pools so they can make money off of them.

I was standing in line with my sister and cousin waiting to get on the “Viper”. We were at Six Flags having already been in the long line an hour and a half. We all went on our favorite rides, then we decided to go on the roller-coaster. This was going to be my very first ever roller-coaster in my life. Then the roller coaster conductor told us to get on the coaster. I jumped in, put my seatbelt on and listened to the safety precautions. Then the conductor pressed the button and we were off.

As a child, terrified of roller coasters or rides period, I never rode anything. The closest thing I got to riding a “real” roller coaster was the cheesy roller coaster at the pop- up amusement parks in the mall parking lot. That helped fuel my fear. Finally, I had to suck up my fear in the 7th grade when my best friend invited me to Six Flags for the first time and I strangely agreed to it. Fearing for the worst, I did what I knew best, research everything on Six Flags as if I were doing a project over it. I watched first person roller coaster videos, the height and velocity of rides, to deaths in the amusement park. That didn’t help my case.

           As soon as we pulled up me and my brother Spencer jumped out of the car like we were bungee jumping, although I still kinda felt really sick, but there was no time to chicken out and ruin this perfect day so I sucked it up and went with it. We took the Six Flags bus to get closer to the park. The bus had a circle in the middle that spun so I asked my mom if I could sit there and she said, yes! They were sitting in the front of the bus where I couldn't see them but it didn't matter. I felt like I was already on a roller coaster because every time he would turn a corner I would go flying. I looked out the window and saw the most beautiful tree I have ever laid my blue eyeballs on, in my life. All I could think of is I will never see a tree that beautiful in my life! After what feels like an hour on the bus I get really sick and tired of the “pretend rollercoaster” so I look out the window to see another really pretty tree! “My goodness they have a lot of beautiful trees” I say under my breath and think nothing of it. A few more minutes go by and the

One summer day in July , Me and my friend Carol went to an amusement park called Cedar Point . Cedar Point is located in Sandusky , Ohio and two and a half hours away . My mom and me wanted to go on a ride called the Maverick . The Maverick is Cedar Point’s steepest roller coaster and its speed is 70 miles per hour . The Maverick also has a 95 degree drop ! Then we went in line and waited for about an hour and a half . It was about eleven o'clock when we got close to the front of the line . When we finally got to the roller coaster I regretted going on because it was very dark and I couldn't see where the drop was and I don’t like steep roller coasters . Because of that me and Carol where panicking the whole way up . As soon as we got to the

I am known to be extremely clumsy. With that, it’s expected that I often end up in awkward situations. In the past I have called numerous teachers “Mom,” fallen down while walking up stairs, almost fallen off a cliff; and it can be assured there were many more instances where my embarrassing clumsiness had led me into awkward, sometimes life threatening, situations. One moment that stands out in particular takes place in every marine animal welfare activists’ “favorite” place, Sea World.

Early that morning we woke up, got ready, and started our adventure. The long, boring drive was over 2 hours, but the fun finally started when we arrived. With the weather being a slight drizzle all day there were not that many people there. We got on the rides with almost no wait time. The very first roller coaster that we were going to go on broke down as we were waiting in line. Being impatient as I am, we got out of line, but of course as soon as we did the ride was fixed.

One sunny day an eighteen year old girl was enjoying the view from the docks at Oxnard, CA when she slipped and fell into the ocean. Thankfully no one had noticed what happened and she slowly made her way to the beach underneath the docks. When Oceania finally made it to the shore she was so tired that she passed out from exhaustion. When she woke up an hour later Oceania started to get up only to discover that instead of legs she had a fishtail. As she was trying to get clear of the water, she was discovered by the owner of Seaworld. As soon as he spotted her, he quickly called his crew up and they caught and transported her to Seaworld. Once there they placed her in with the dolphins and told her what to do for a performance with the dolphins.

A few years ago, in the middle of July, the carnival was in town, so my family, my best friend Ashley, and I decided to go. When we got there we had an amazing time eating funnel cake, playing games and going on rides. At this point it was nighttime and I had convinced Ashley, who was afraid of the fast rides, to go on this small spinning roller coaster with me. We get on the ride and experience our first problem, we couldn’t get our safety bar to lock in place, but this was quickly solved when the ride attendant swooped in and fixed it for us. The ride then took off into fast rotations, I was laughing

When I was around the age of 11 my father, 2 sisters and I went to disneyland. When we got there we had an amazing time going on rides, eating, and lastly just enjoying one another's company. At the time I was terrified of roller coasters but somehow my sister convinced me to get on California Screamin. While we were in line I was trembling and horrified thinking the worse was going to happen. Once the ride started my stomach felt like it was going to come out, just as a specific loop in the ride was coming up the ride stopped. We were upside down for a good three minutes until the ride kept going. The day with my family took a quick transformation from a good exciting day to a terrifying evening. Transformation obviously created fear. This can be seen in the following short stories as well. Oate’s “Where is Here,” Arthur Tress’ “Dream Collector” and Julio Cortazar’s “House Taken Over” uses

It was around 4:30 5:00pm on a Saturday when my Dad, Sister Ahlancya, Cousin Mycal, Best friend Gracie, and I were getting in the car after the dentist to go to the Ohio State Fair. When we got there we had to walk over to where the rides were because of where we parked. “Whoosh”, as the rides went past. After getting are wrist bands we all except my Dad jumped into the line of our favorite rides. Gracie and I even rode or two that Ahlancya and Mycal recommended for us to ride, they were so fun!!! In till they recommended us to ride this rollercoaster that goes upside down and hangs you there for about 15 seconds mind me Gracie and I hated those rides

I was definitely not riding it. My mom started bribing me and apparently it worked because all of a sudden I was standing in line for the roller coaster. As time went on we were at the beginning of the line and I could see it going. I didn’t know it went 0-60 mph in 2.8 seconds. I started balling my eyes out and I was super scared. We got on and I was already closing my eyes and grabbing the leather bars. We were flipping and turning, I heard screaming, crying and super loud rock music. When we got off my mom bribed me with a pin to put on my necklace. I will never ride the Rockin’ Rollar Coaster ever

We went on a trip to florida for spring break of 2016 and we went to disney world when we were down there. We stayed for 7 days and we had so much fun because we went magic kingdom, animal kingdom and hollywood studios also epcot to. Today was are last day in florida and we planned nothing to do so we could sit back and relax because we are leaving tonight at 8:00 . Today we are gonna just go eat breakfast and then maybe go swimming and hang out. We have to go to a time chair place because they give some tickets for disney world.

“Are you packed yet?” These are the only words my mom say been saying to me for the last three weeks. We had been planning our trip to Disney World since Easter when my parents surprised me and my siblings with our plan tickets. That was seven months ago. There was now less than 24 hours before we would be heading to the Dubuque Airport and I was just deciding to pack. I was running through a check list in my head: shorts, tanktops, shirts, sweatshirts, jeans, shoes, hats, sunglasses, swimsuits, pajamas, underwear, and bras. Check! Now on to bath stuff: toothbrush, hairbrush, face wash, contacts, contacts solution, makeup and hair ties. Check! I hate packing because of all the dumb rules the airport has. Like the rule where you can’t have any liquids bigger than 5 oz. or whatever it is.
