Personal Narrative: Riding The Texas Giant At Six Flags

I had asked what it was and if it was scary, of course she said no. The ride was called Alpengeist. The Alpengeist is one that does not contain a car, but instead it is one that your feet is dangling in the wind. Karen, and I walked over to watch it before I decided if I was able to this gigantic monster, or if I was just going to let her fight the beast alone. Based on my decision we continued to walk around and explored the park. We stopped at many rides that we rode that were great, scary, and stomach

“Tomorrow, we’re going to Wonderland, like it or not.” My aunt said. “And, no matter how scared we are, we’re going on all the rides.” She added, glaring pointedly at me. I looked around; my cousins all had wide, toothy grins on their faces. They couldn’t wait until tomorrow. Me? I dreaded tomorrow.

It was a hot sunny,afternoon ,my family and I were heading to Six Flags 5 long hours away from where we live which is Atwater California,but it felt like a 30 hour trip. When we got to the hotel that we were going to stay at for 4 days while we were visiting Six Flags my parents asked me if I would start walking with my little brother to the entrance where my big brother, sister ,grandma ,and aunt were waiting in the first lobby. I reached out to text my brother that we were heading over to the hotel but my phone wasn’t there! I started to freak out and I actually pinched myself just to see if it was a dream but it wasn’t I asked my little brother if he had seen it but he said that he hadn’t. All I was thinking about was what my parents would say about me losing my phone.

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

Roller Coaster… that word frightened me as a child. I was always the kid that sat on the bench with my grandma when we went to amusement parks. I would sit and watch my mom, grandpa, aunts, uncles, and cousins ride roller coasters and it terrified me. They always told me that they were so much fun and that I would love them and they are not scary. Well to me they seemed scarier than flying in an airplane while it was storming.

Around six the rest of the family woke up groggily because of the time change, so it was about nine A.M. My brother wanted to try surfing surfing. He was so excited when my mom said,”yes” that he sung “ I’m gonna surf, I’m gonna surf” all the way down the hallway.” I was kind of sore and tired from all of the falling, but I wanted to actually stay up. A couple people are out on the water just floating so I said,” Hi” and kept a ways a bit. Then I started

We moved forward in line and we were going to be the next ones on the ride. It seemed like forever but finally it was our turn to get in the roller coaster cars, I was so happy and scared at the same time because every ride you could hear people screaming. We got in and once everybody was strapped in safely the ride would start, suddenly the roller coaster cars jolted forward. The cars immediately started to roll up the giant snowy mountain towards the top. Finally we made it to the top of the very tall and steep mountain we went speeding down the side of the mountain and up another part of a mountain to the top really fast. I was screaming so much and so was everybody else on the ride with us and that wasn’t even the scariest part.

I walked into the Mr.Freeze line at Six Flags I saw the people in front of us get on. They sat down and buckled them in, then the countdown started 5,4,3,2,1 “Bye”. The Machine was off I counted 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10. Then they were back all paralyzed with fear. Our Turn! Me and my mom hopped on the ride and they buckled us in. All I could think was “No Way Out!!!”. Then I started to shake and to shiver while my sister in front of me with my dad had a jolly smile on her face! Then the countdown started 5,4,3,2,1 “Bye”. We took off zooming through twists and turns slamming into the tracks as we went.I’m going to die!! I thought. I tried to scream but my voice was to scratchy from the other rides I screamed and screamed but nothing.

After a while, we went on a huge rollercoaster. I thought my heart was going to jump out of my body. As the roller coaster made it to the top, I thought I was going to drown in my own sweat and tears. I started to panic and jump out of my seat but my dad told me to stop and sit down. When I made it to the top, I could see the whole Disneyland. For a second there was, the drop! All the tears and sweat in my body moved to the top of my head and I closed my eyes and let out the biggest scream. Bam, I couldn't hear anything over the high pitch noise of the bolts rattling behind us. I thought that I was just falling, falling, falling. After what felt like an eternity we finally made it down. I stepped out of my wet seat and almost hugged the ground. That was the scariest thing I have ever done, but felt I had to do that roller coaster again. Then, there was a young boy inviting us to a show as he

So here we are getting ready to go on the most terrifying experience ever, we fastened our seats belt. Before the game started, I can hear someone from the back is screaming and crying to get off, and all I was thinking about is, “This is not the right time to cry, boy.” He shouldn’t have got on in the first place. Everyone was mad about it,” Get off, boy,” Everyone was yelling at him. However, the boy got off and everything went back to normal again. The game started, and everyone begun yelling, we were pushed on the rail track like a rocket, it went up and down on the track flipping, spinning over with the same speed. If I learned one thing or two from this experience, I would say, don’t think of the technical problems of the roller coasters while you are on it, because you will freak out, and you might pass out. So I have been wondering, what if the ride got loose and we all die, what if the ride stops in while we are spinning and we be hanged upside down, I might fall down and

I was shaking and I was so scared, I was at a huge rollercoaster in Michigans adventure. My friend and I decided to go to Michigan adventure in July, mostly because my friend wanted to go on the biggest rollercoaster they had. When we got there, my friend went straight to this roller coaster, It was huge and it had 8 carts, with 2 people fit in each cart. the carts were white and had red and orange flames on them. So after we decided to go on it, We sat on the first cart. My friend was right next to me she really wanted to go on it so I agreed with fear, but as soon as I sat on the rollercoaster I regret my decision. ’’Are you okay’’ she asked I nodded but I wasn’t okay I was really scared but I didn’t want to tell her because she was really

I let my brother and sister run ahead of me and stayed back with my mom as my siblings rushed into line. “Riley it really isn’t that bad. You could easily do it, there’s no loops, it’s not that fast either, just three drops.” My mom kept telling me this to coax me into getting in the line, but instead me and my mom ended up staying back while my brother sister and dad rode the ride. The whole time that we were eating I kept looking at the tower and trying to convince myself to ride it. My brother and sister came back from the ride wearing matching smiles and started going on and on about the ride.

An assistant checked my height as I thought to myself that I would be too short for the ride and I would not have to go. It just then happened to be that I was the required height to go on the ride. I really didn’t want to go. I sighed and my dad just shook his head at me.

“ Alright today's the day were going on goliath” My dad said.I was really scared because at the time I never rode a rollercoaster with a huge drop. The drop was at a 90° angle and there was a bunch of loops in it. When My dad and I got into the line he asked me what row I wanted to go in. I told him “Not the back, and Not the Front, so let's go in the middle.” Of course he didn't listen to me and we went in the front row. I still told him no but we did it anyways. When we got into the front seat there was no handles in the front there was just one on the side of our seat for each person. The front of the cart was pretty far away so it felt like nothing was in front of us. Once I was buckled in my dad said to me, “What pose should we do for the picture?” We picked a pose but i'm not really sure what it was. Then the person who ran the ride asked all of us if we were ready, and we all shouted,Yes!. Then the cart started moving. I was kind of scared but also really excited. When we started heading to the top I put my hands up and was ready for the drop. When we got all the way to the top the cart stopped and I told my dad, “Are we Stuck?” Then right when he was about to answer the cart went down at a 90° angle the roller coaster went around and around and when the picture came we did a pose and It was really successful there was more loops and the cart went underground for a little bit. Then the cart slowed down I was sad because the ride was so fun. I told my dad, “I want to
