The one thing I refused to do as a kid was ride roller coasters. I hated them. I hadn’t ridden one, but just looking at them I would be petrified. We were sitting at home watching TV when my mom informed us that we were going to Universal the next day. I excitement immediately struck me, thinking about all the things we could do, until I started to think about what would REALLY happen. I knew that my sister was going to pester me non-stop about riding one of those mechanical monsters. So, I decided it would be easier if as soon as we got there I tried to gather the courage to ride one. I lied in bed for hours trying to sleep, but to no avail, due to the excitement and nervousness about what would happen the next day. After a while I finally drifted off into refreshing sleep. In what felt like an instant my pillow was yanked out from under my head and my lights were turned on. “Wake up, we’re leaving in twenty minutes.” My sister screamed into my ear. Twenty minutes of rushed preparing later, and I was ready to go.
The car ride was long and boring especially because I was so nervous the entire time. Finally we pulled in, went through security, and bought our tickets. We decided to grab lunch first. After eating my dry fifteen dollar cheeseburger, my sister, just as I

My parents agreed and we walked towards to the roller coaster, the walk was long and terrifying as I tried to make excuses to not ride this nightmare of a ride. Ten minutes later we arrived, and sadly, I had to ride it because I was to young to be left alone. We sat in line for about five minutes before reaching the front. I optimistically thought that I would be to short, so as I walked up and was asked to stand text to the measuring tool, I started to get excited thinking I would be safe, but sadly I was just tall enough. “Lucky you” I heard from the employee as I was walking over to the car, if only he
My cousin and I were heading over to our favorite ride there, the Twirl And Whirl, it was so fun, when we went on that ride it felt like we were flying when we closed our eyes and felt it spin. While we were on the ride my sister and her friend asked if they could go on the roller coaster and our dad said,”Yes, but first let 's wait for this ride to be done so all of us can go.” soon the twirl and whirl ride stopped and we got off and headed towards the roller coaster ride called the bullet, we waited in line for maybe 10 min then got on, I sat next to my dad because it was my first roller coaster ride,”Everyone
Now, I’m not afraid of roller coasters and heights. This is great because every time I go somewhere that is very high, I get so scared and back away and I asked to go home. Also, every time I go to an amusement park, I would usually take the fun away because roller coasters are the most greatest ride to go on and it would make my parents unhappy. This time, however, I made my family happy because it was the best time they ever had at Six Flags. Sometimes it is good to take some risk to get over with any fears. I’m glad I
I have this fear that causes my body to shake. When I think about it, my skin becomes pale and cold. It’s death speeding through my mind. Once I have seen these monstrous roller coasters, the only thing in my mind was fear. Knowing that I’m afraid to go on these rides, I didn’t want to look like a fool in front of my friends. My mind is thinking of deadly thoughts. My palms were sweaty and I was twitching like a fish. I was petrified of heights.
exciting. So my friends know that i have the fear of roller coaster and heights so they wanted to put me on the fastest and highest ride to overcome it, but i chickened out and i didn't go on the rides they went on, i went on 2 water rides and a new one they had. Both of the water rides was fun one of them was like log one where you have swirls but then it goes up a hill then it lets you fall and all the water splashes all over you and me and my mom were soaking wet. The other was like a wheel and it was my mom and me and 4 other of my friends and the wheel would swirl around by itself and it was on a river canal and it would have dips and you would get wet and since the wheel would swirl around you would think its someone else that will get wet but yet it would be you or someone else. The other roller coaster was pretty big for me since i'm afraid of heights and roller coaster i was screaming the whole entire time and oh my goodness i was so mad at my mom because she traumatised me! After we went on the water rides my mom and i went and changed.
My dad told us we could, but to make sure not to get lost. We said ok and went over to Six Flags Park. Asia was trying to force me to get on this big, gigantic roller coaster called The Batman. I told her she must be out of her mind. She said I was if I did not get on. Reluctantly, I said ok, but told her she was going to be the one paying for my funeral if I don’t make it! She told me to stop doubting myself and grow up already. When I finally got on to the ride I was like, “Oh heck no! Let me off!” The ride man told me I would be fine as he locked the bar into place. As the ride started and we began clicking up that first huge hill, I was like “Oh my God I’m really goanna die!” Then, I was like, AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!”, and, “AHHHHHH!” Then it was over I was like, “That was so awesome! We got to go again!” Asia said I told you so as we got back in line again. We went on to ride it a total of 7 times. After the 7th time we finally decided to do something different. We wanted to do the Mr. Freeze coaster, but there was a 60 min. wait. That was when we looked over and saw the Scooby Doo ride only had a 15 min. wait so we decided to ride it instead. The ride was a lot more fun than we thought it would be. We were all in these 4 passenger “Mystery Machines” that had lazertag guns and score counters. Asia and I competed to see who could get the highest score. Six Flags had a lot of other cool
As Ralph Waldo Emerson once added “What you are afraid to do, is a clear indication of the next thing you need to do.” As we were pulling into the parking lot of Hersheypark, I looked up and saw a gigantic coaster, the tallest upside down coaster in the whole entire park. Before we took our trip we did research on the best rides at the park, Fahrenheit was one of the tallest coasters with a 97 degree drop and 60 mph during the ride. I was only 10 at the time and I had never gone on an upside down roller coaster before. As we were entering the park, the rollercoaster was to the left of the entrance. I was hoping we would be able to go to the other side first so I could avoid the coaster for a little while. Just my luck, we turned to the left,
AHhhhhhhhhh that”s all I hear as my stomach lurched. I can barely breath as my eyes bug out of my head . When all the sudden the bar flies up what In the world it won’t go back down. And my mind says hey, guess what Nyles what me you're dead I know….
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
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
My worries had returned, it was like as if the roller coaster was calling my name!! After we finished eating, we came back to ride other rides, I saw someone that had just gotten off Storm Runner, the guy puked all over the ground. The thing that came to my mind was, “will that be the roller coaster I will ride”?! Shortly after the incident, my parents told my brother and I that we will be riding the roller coaster now, I was nervous when they said it, my family and I were surrounded by roller coasters, I was shocked I didn’t notice. I was even more shocked when we got in line!! The roller coaster I was going to get on was Wild Mouse, I freaked out!! I immediately told my parents I would not ride it, so we went on Wild Cat. Somehow Wild Mouse was scarier then Wild Cat, which I thought was dumb.
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
It was a hot summer day, and I was eight years old. I went to Cedar Point for the first time. I remember the first coaster I ever rode was the Raptor. It was thrilling and I was a little scared on it, but after I got off, I felt like I was superior. I rode many more roller coasters, then we see the Top Thrill Dragster. The track was a bent oval and had a vertical rise and drop. It is very intimidating and I remember seeing an older lady praying before the ride took off. My aunt, uncle, and mom asked if I wanted to go on it with them, and I was a little hesitant. They told me it is okay if I’m scared, but I did not want to admit it. I had to make the decision quick and agreed to go on it. I was very nervous and my stomach started to hurt out of nowhere. About two hours later of waiting in line, it was our turn to get on. I got on a cart with my mom and my heart was beating like a crazed man banging on a door. I had fear mixed with excitement, but I was determined to ride the Top Thrill Dragster. After everyone was buckled in, the speakers in the platform started playing drag racing car
“Besides, you already skipped like 3 rides today.” “Fair enough.” I whispered back. I gulped as I slowly stepped forward. I grasped my mom’s hand tightly. I saw all the people who had just went before us. They were smiling with extreme joy. I could see them grinning from ear to ear. “See Yana? Look at all those happy people.” My mom said sympathetically. I could tell she was trying to make me feel better but it wasn’t helping very much. I climbed into the car and slowly sat down. The ride attendants walked along side the car on the shiny grey platform. As they walked along, they pulled down our coaster vests and lap bars. The control person grinned an evil grin which didn’t help my stress go down. We gradually started ascending up a steep slope. I could hear the rickety wheels of the car creaking every second or two. Creak…...creak…….creak. “Mom?” I managed to find the words deep in my throat. “Yes?” she replied almost instantly. “Do you ever get scared?” “Well of course, everyone does.” she answered. Do you ever get that feeling when you just can’t feel your body? That was happening to me at that moment. I searched for my mother’s hand with my own. I finally found it and held it tightly. I looked around. The sky was pitch black all
My act of courage in life is noting extraordinary, but it was a big deal for me and to this day I’m grateful that I was able to overcome it, because now I love riding roller coasters. Anyway the fear at the time (last year) was riding roller coasters because I was scared I might fall out of my seat and die, and as I got older it was becoming more of a problem. Plus, as a “teenager” it’s hard to find something fun besides roller coasters and expensive rigged carnival games at theme parks like Six Flags. But once summer had started I knew something was going to have to change and I had to get over this silly little fear. This was because at the time Six Flags was the place to be, plus my mom had gotten me and my sister season passes that we could use quite often.
Then, my family and I went to Hershey Park as a birthday gift for me. At the entrance, I saw an enormous light blue and bright yellow water slide that almost looked like half of a tornado. It was a really hot day, the temperature was almost 87 degrees.We walked over to the water section, and I was amazed how big it was, It was like a pool with water slides for gods. My brother told me right away, “We must go on that slide,” and that was the moment I knew I would go on that gigantic water slide, I was relieved because I desperately needed a something to refresh myself, and I was scared. When I was waiting in-line I went up so many stairs, which took a while. Finally, I was where the slide started, My brother’s back was facing the slide and I was facing the slide on the tube. “Shahan, are you ready? ” My brother asked me,
