Space Mountain: A Short Story

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.

I looked up at the roller coaster and all its' loops and turns and jumped with excitement. "Let's go!", I exclaimed. As we were walking up the stairs, a part of me wanted to turn back, but i was determined to get on this one ride. I stood at the gates, waiting for it to be my turn and before i knew it, I was the next one. I went through the gates and went straight to my seat. Henry sat right next to me and held my hand. I was ready. The ride started to take off and I knew there was no turning back now. Up and up we went. The ground below us got further away. I held on tightly to my boyfriends hand and down we

We laughed as we waited in line. Before i knew it we were at the front of the line. We handed the old man wearing a deep frown our tickets. We ran up the few steps hastily. I buckled myself in and waited excitedly. As the time went on more people started to pile in on the ride. After a minute the guy went to check and see if everyone was buckled in correctly after he completed his task he got of and started the ride. It went slow and steady at first, but it started to gained speed and height. The higher we got the lower my stomach dropped. I held my hands up and felt the my hair dance in the cool wind. After the ride was over he and I rode more rides than we could

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

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,

It seemed to be an average day in Mountain Ridge High. The football team had just defeated the Clearwater Caribou with the help of the captain and quarterback, Clyde McDaniel. Clyde scored four touchdowns in the first half alone, one of which included an 89 yard carry after a turnover by the Caribou’s safety, Jackson Campbell. Throughout the school day teachers and students from around the building congratulated Clyde on the big win. However the one congratulations that Clyde wanted was the one congratulations he didn’t receive- a congratulations from his girlfriend Anna. The night of the game Anna’s mom had been diagnosed with stage IV acute myelogenous leukemia, so Anna had to stay in the hospital in case she passed. With bone marrow transplants,

When we jump into the pile of leaves we slide down the slide and it was a bright blue light. It was smoke coming up from the ground when we got to the end there was no one in there me and my cousin walk around and there were lot of cob webs down there. There was cameras in the corners, glass tanks every were with sharks in side, there it was a gigantic stature with a cover over it, when we pulled the cover

I felt my stomach turning as we walked towards the Superman ride. I saw the people going up and down the ride, the

Walking home, suddenly I realize that nothing looks familiar.. I get out my flashlight that I have in my backpack. When I turn it on it starts flickering. It eventually starts working and I just keep walking down the alley. “POW” “POW” “POW.” Gunshots?!? Why is there gunshots.Is there someone after me? Then my flashlight turns off, its pitch dark I can't see anything.Then I hear screaming “AHHHHHHHH.” I start running in a straight line because I can't see anything. All of the sudden someone throws a bag over my head and knocks me out. I wake up tied in a chair with just a light. Thinking to myself “Am I in a room?” Then someone just starts

With my friend I decided to ride the the best roller coaster that Six Flags had,and after the ride , I felt very proud that I had ridden a big roller coaster for once in my life without being scared. When I got on, I was exited about going on the big rollrcoaster, and there was a huge drop. My friend was really scared but I was excited. I told my friends "I want the red won". Blue, green and red were suppost to race, but everybody know that the red one always wins but I was just riding it for fun. So we did the huge drop and it looked like I would hit a wood beam butI passed underneath. Then I went up and down and up again. The second drop wasn't as big as the first but

The moment I believed would mark one of the best summer day of my life. As I got on the ride I slowly buckled up and my hands immediately grabbed on tightly the metal harness. While waiting on the people to start the machine I was closing my eyes and imaging how it would feel. Suddenly my feet were off the ground and I found myself looking up. At first I did not dare look down, for I thought I would start panicking. I quickly looked down and saw lights then looked back up. While it arrived to the highest point I said “This is a precious moment in your life, just take the time to look at the beauty in front of you.” I started to look down and got to see the whole park. It was like seeing Christmas lights, it was bright with different colors. Instantaneously the ride dropped, I felt as if my heart was going to come out of my body. I screamed so hard that I could feel my veins in my head accumulating the blood from the pressure of the ride and from me screaming. It stopped half way and it took us up again. This time it did not go all the way, but it slowly went up and once again it quickly went down. At the end of the ride, as my feet touched the ground I was so thankful to God that I made it through without having a heart attack or panic

I couldn't believe what I got myself into and then all of a sudden the ride departed in rapid speeds. It departed so quickly that I didn't even notice what was happening around me. The rush of wind whacked me in my face, and the forceful acceleration of the coaster pushed my head against the seat. I could feel my head spin with every twist and turn. I finally sealed my eyes hoping that the ride would soon be over.

When we got out of the eiffel tower we went to some of the log rides because I thought that they looked fun. When we got off of the log rides we went to get on Viking’s Fury and we rode it. While we were on the ride we sung back and forth and it made my stomach tickle. Then we went over to Stunt Course and we waited in line for almost an hour but then we got on. While I was sitting there in the seat I was happy. Then the ride started and we were moving fast as soon as we started to move. At the end of the ride we were jerked around because of the track the coaster was

The robotic tunes and bright lights ran throughout the themed land. That was when loud buzzing went off shifting everyones attentions to look up. Rockets! The rockets lifted as they began moving in circles following the others. My dad, brother and I walked towards one of our favorite attractions Space Mountain. Seeing our shadows that lingered in front of us, made it seem as if we were actual astronauts ready to walk into our very own space shuttle. We walked through the long tunnel playing the queue games they offered in line. Once boarded into the shuttle we were not afraid to yell and scream at all the sudden hills and turns. Let's just say the ride was out of this

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.
