Personal Narrative: The Roller Coaster Ride

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.

There were thoughts of actually dying and that gave me a strong excitement. The ride had begun it was slowly going up at first I could see myself getting higher and watch my mom wave at me. All of a sudden the ride had stopped. It was about to get much faster and at that exact moment my mind went blank. The ride had started going up instantaneously as I started to yell at the top of my lungs. I was faced toward the theme park as I went higher I felt butterflies squeeze my stomach. Once I reached the top the ride it stopped moving. The whole theme park was so small from the top of the ride I was surprised to realize that my mom looked like an ant. The rays of the sun were flashing into my face but I was feeling fantastic. Suddenly, there was a sound of gas release and boom the ride started to go down and things started to get bigger again.

Just as I arrived in the line the previous riders were leaving. Before I knew it, the gate had opened and we were getting onto the ride. It felt like an out of body experience. Perhaps that was just my sanity watching in awe from afar. I left my shoes next to my bag inside the gate. I had to stand on my quivering tip toes to get in the seat. With my heart beating out of my chest, the carnival worker buckled us in. Then the operator moved us up about ten feet. I wanted to shout down at them to lower us back down so I could get back to the earth. Adrenaline rushed, palms sweaty, my breath came out in quiet, rapid gasps. I had just opened my mouth to speak, but the worker beat me to

We got on the ride quickly there was no line and I was scared, like about to pee myself scared. We all got strapped/buckled in and the ride started, it started climbing the first hill to then drop us onto whatever came next.It seemed like

We were waiting in line, I was so scared. Dad said, “Go on the ride it will be fun.” Finally it was our turn when we got on the ride we started going up.¨Are you ready?¨”Dad said. I was not feeling great about doing this. When we hit the top we went straight down everyone was screaming. I was so scared but relieved I did it. The rest of the ride

The car shook and creaked as a motor took us up. For a few seconds, we were at the top. I looked around at the park, but then the car dropped and my stomach went with it. All I could remember from the rest of the ride was my first loop and the adrenaline pumping through my body. When I got off, I was dizzy but I yelled, “THAT WAS AWESOME!” My friends giggled as we walked to our next ride.

We both wanted to ride the same thing first so we stood in line and waiting to go on. When we got close to the front you could see the name of the ride it was called fire ball. That name just makes it seem fast the ride was a circle shaped of obesely its going to be fast. So finally they opened that little gate so we could enter, there was these steps you had to walk up then we sat the third seat from the front. Then the ride stared moving side to side it scare me I just sat there terrified and screaming that is how scared I was. Then it started going side to side even fast to were half of the people on the ride were upside down an I was one of them so I stared freaking out and laughing I could control myself then I look over at my sister and she’s screaming her head off. That mad me laugh even more then it stared go even faster and it got to the point were everyone was upside down and there was a moment were when everyone was at the top it stopped and stayed there for a few seconds then finally it went in a couple more circles then it was

Attention all riders! This ride is now closed for maintenance. Everyone in the front of the line, please come and get a free pass to another ride to the front of the line. Thank you and sorry for the inconvenience.” I felt a wave of relief and just felt lifted off my feet. It was like the heavens were lifted off of Atlas’s shoulders and he was freed. “ Hey why don’t we go ride the roller coaster that goes upside down,” my dad asked both Rhett and I. Rhett, overjoyed with feelings of pride and ready to do anything, was quick to say yes and went running to the exit. I on the other hand, was distraught with grief over the fact that I was about to go through something much worse and faster too. I walked to the next ride like a convict to the electric chair, thinking that this might be the

After an hour of waiting in line we finally got on the ride I was so excited. I sat in the front seat of the old run down cart it had rips and tears on the seat. The ride started out slow it was

Then my brother, both my sisters, and parents got out of the car, and the first item I saw was advertising for the park. The advertising said “Hollywood Studios” and had a picture of a rollercoaster, and all I felt was butterflies in my stomach. The next day we woke up in the early morning to get ready so that we could arrive when the park opened. When we arrived, I could see all the rides and an enormous crowd of people swarming around trying to find the shortest line to enter the park the fastest. My sister grabbed me hastily and said “Come on, Alex, let's go get on The Rock N Roller coaster.” My parents walked with us, but they didn't ride the roller coaster, so my sister and I were the only ones from our family. As we waited in line, I felt mixed feelings shoot through my body. Then my turn came, and I slowly entered the blue seat of the ride and buckled up tightly, making sure nothing at all could get loose. On a screen the ride counted down, six, five, four, three,

But only three minutes passed before we were able to get onto the ride. My friend backed out at the last minute, so it was just my brother, my dad, and I that went on the ride. In no time, the worker had us locked in and ready to go. I was so excited, but very nervous at the same time. This is because It has been about two years since I had gone on any type of ride like this. I waited in suspense as the ride was climbing to the top of the peak, and when we got to the top, the ride stopped for a split second, and the sun was beating on my face, making me sweat buckets. We finally dropped, and I started roaring like a lion attempting to protect its babies from other animals. We were rapidly accelerating and in a second, I was upside down, sideways, and twisting. It only felt like seconds went by as I was yelling for my life. When the ride was finally over, I was not afraid, but instead happy. I actually enjoyed the ride and wanted to go on it again. But we needed to go on other rides too, so we left that ride in search for another

I said, “No,“ then the slide started. When you first went down the ride it was dark and there were scary turns, then you make a big drop and start to spin, when I was spinning in midair I was so scared. My heart started beating really fast, then I realized that my brother and I weren’t even close to being done with the water slide. Then, the next day I went on a roller coaster

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.

I started feeling confident as I waited in line. Finally the moment arrived where I took my seat on the coaster. At this point my anxiety and fear came rushing back all at once and my blood even seemed to boil. I realized though if I didn’t do this now I probably never would. So I pulled the bar over my stomach and tried not to puke.

My dad told us that we could get on, and he also told me that they would all wait for us sitting down.The ride is kind of like zip lining, but it does not go fast. The ride goes really high, and when a person is on, they can see the whole place where the rides are. I was on the right side, Victoria was in the middle, and my other cousin named Allison was on the left side. The ride was almost over, and we were already getting close to the end. We saw people getting off; we thought that we did not have to get off because the ride went in two directions. My cousins and I thought that we would go the two directions only paying once. If a person wanted to go another time, they had to pay twice. Once it was time for us to get off, we had to go back to where we had started. We got to the spot where we had started, and my uncle was there waiting for us. My cousins and I had to tell him that in order to go the other direction, we needed to have more money to pay. He told us that he knew because when he was waiting for us, he also saw people getting off from where we started. He also told us that when he saw those people getting off, he knew that to get on the other side, the people need to pay again. Before leaving my cousins and I stopped at a food stand. When I was there, I could see and smell all the food. My cousins and I got some spicy apples; when we got
