Holiday Fiasco
When I was eight, my mother took me to an amusement park as part of a three-day vacation trip, called Holiday World. A few things stand out in my memory from that day, such as my first roller-coaster ride and the water park. It was a great day, and I had a lot of fun, but then near the end of that day I was taught a rather important life lesson.
It was the third day of our vacation, and I had a lot of fun. We had ridden several rides such as the Raven, a wooden roller-coaster, and around midday we were finally going to the place I wanted to go from the beginning, the water park. The first few attractions that I noticed were of course the very large and impressive ones, but I had already experienced a rather lengthy wait at the Raven and wanted to have fun right then, so I focused on another rather curious attraction, a wave-pool. A wave pool is a rather long pool, usually fifty feet in length or greater, that has a steadily declining floor made to resemble a beach. The closer you get to the grate/fence where the device that makes the waves exists, the deeper the pool gets ending usually around twelve to fifteen feet.
I was immediately excited, and I wanted to experience what seemed at the time the best pool ever! I begged my mother to let us go there first, and she relented on one condition that I stay within her sight. Now normally this wouldn’t be a problem, but Holiday World was extremely busy that day, and the wave pool
It was a water/boat ride, but still chain controlled. At the end you go down a very steep downhill and finish. There was no seatbelt, but there was a bar that went over your legs. I did not feel like it was very safe and only did it once. That was basically it for me because I couldn’t ride any other rides, except for the kiddie rides, which I was not going to ride. Then I went with my mother to go shopping with her, while my brothers were riding the bigger rides I couldn’t. we went to all the stores with here. Picking out little keychains, hats, bracelets, etc. my mom bought me a snow globe and a statue of a sting-ray (which I still have today) which was very cool to have. It always reminds me of the first time I ever went to SeaWorld.
The first day we got there we just hanged out at the hotel all day. It was 78 degrees Fahrenheit and sunny. It was 8AM in the morning when I saw the pool. Now at first I was very disappointed that it was shutdown because they needed to put chemicals in it. At 11 it finally opened up and I was WOWED. The Pool was amazing. It was sparkling Blue and the water was as clear as glass. That's why we stayed in it all day. The second day we went to Sea World. We hadn't been to Sea World yet until that day where we learned why it's one of the best Disney parks. We entered at the gate where we saw the ride of a lifetime The Manta. The Manta is a ride that makes you go backwards on almost the whole ride. It is the scariest ride I have ever seen. None of my family did that for just that reason. First we went to the Dolphin show which was really cool. It was so cool because the actors and actresses would jump into the water and the Dolphins would come out and do tricks on them like skiing on top of them, and making them wave to the crowd. Then we to another show which is called Shamu. Shamu is a show about Wales that do all these tricks like splash us. I forgot to tell you but Garrett, Chloe, and I were all sitting in the splash zone and we were watching the Wales do all these tricks when the Disney people told us to get ready and Garrett and I didn't have enough time to react and two seconds later all of a sudden we got tsunamified, so soaked that there wasn't a single dry spot on my shirt. After that Chloe started crying and I had to bring her up to mom and dad who were in the last row of the stadium. Chloe was not happy for that part of the trip at Sea World. After both those shows it started raining so we finished up are day at going in a virtual helicopter and seeing all the Penguins and the Arctic Animals which was pretty cool. As soon as we got in the pilot we cranked that baby up until the heat felt like Florida instead of Maine. Speaking of Maine
During September the year 2014, my family and I took a 2 day trip to Dollywood. I was just eight years old at the time. That drive took us 12 long hours long because of car problems. Finally at 10 o'clock at night, we sluggishly dragged our extremely tired selves into the comfort of our soft beds in the hotel. The next morning, we drove over to the park and just past the entrance was a special place where you can get measured and given a color coded bracelet that would let you and others know what rides you were tall enough to ride. I was so excited because I was finally tall enough to get an orange bracelet, which meant I could ride most of the rides. After riding the smaller rides with my younger siblings, my mom wanted to take me on a
Once we got there, I was excited because I always loved all of the rides except roller coasters. When we got inside the park, I wanted to go on the swing ride, but my dad said no. He suggested that we should go on the ride “Medusa”. Guess what! It was a rollercoaster ride. I begged him to not go on it and he eventually convinced me
It was the day my family and I were going to Six Flags Over TEXAS.I love that place I go there all the time on my birthday. I love going on all the rides except the huge rides that can give you a heart attack like the Superman ride that can go about 80 miles an hour , the scary rides like the Joker that twists and turns and goes upside down , and the twisty rides like Catwoman whip P.S. don't go on it after you just ate.I only go on the rides that I know I won't fall off and break any of my bones.I know I’m a very safe person.
Through the ratification of The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo on March 10, 1848 by the United States, the war between the U.S. and Mexico came to an end. However, it can be argued that the legacy and aftermath of this treaty at the end of the war has had consequences that are still felt to this day. Issues of race, culture, and social political status continue and although diplomatic peace may have occurred the legal, cultural and physical violence continued. In this document, we will review the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, its provisions and method of enforcement for land rights, citizenship, and violence that targeted the Spanish speaking inhabitants of the land in question.
One summer, my friends thought it would be a great idea to go to Six Flags. Me, I thought it was a dreadful idea. I don’t like rollercoasters at all, so I found no point in wanting to go. But, they insisted I go with the group for fun. So, here I was, scared of rollercoasters and on my way to Six Flags. Go figure.
It was September 18, 2011, and It was one of the worst day of my life. It was my dad’s birthday and my family decides that we should all go to six flags. I was excited but also nervous, because it was my first time going. Some of my family have been to six flag more than I have, so I ask them how Is six flag? They said It’s alright just some of the rides are scary so I was like alright, I can handle It. On our ride over there, I told myself it’s just like Disneyland just more rides.
I don’t ever want to forget the day we went to Six Flags. In the morning I woke up my parents at 9:00 in the morning so we can get there early and get tickets. Next, I ask my friend if he can come and he said “Sure I’ll come”. So, when my friend was ready to go we left to Six Flags Great Adventure. In addition, when we got there we started off with the games. My friend and I were versing each other on different games. We also went into the haunted house. When we got bored we went on the roller coaster. We went on Superman, Green Lantern, and the Joker, and the most coolest part the Ferris Wheel! After that, we took a break and got back to the rides. Later, when we were tired out, we went home.
The summers of 2013, I went to Cedar Point. It was me, my brother, my mom, dad, and my dad’s friend. My dad said, “we are going to get on all of us the roller coasters” and the rest of us said “ok.”
June 2015 I went to my favorite place in the whole world, Cedar Point. Cedar Point smells like happiness and cotton candy. Cedar Point is located in Sandusky, Ohio and is one of the top amusement parks in the United States. I have been 5 times, but my favorite trip was with my family and best friend Allie. We went to stay for a week like we always do. This time Allie and I would get to walk around the amusement park all by ourselves, that made us feel like such adults. I rode lots of roller coasters and went down many water slides. My favorite ride is Millenniun-Force. It is such a forceful ride I swear every time I ride it I lose my vision. We only rode that ride one time because after it finished Allie about thought she died. This was
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.
This all started with my parent’s brilliant idea to take me to Disney World. As any 8-year-old would have reacted to such amazing news, I completely lost it. To my memory, I think I might have just turned the house upside down, literally making the clean family room into a war zone. And of course, I had to brag to all my friends at school of this amazing trip I had the opportunity to go on. I was so ecstatic that every night I crossed off the days left until the trip. After what had felt like an eternity, we headed to the airport to fly to Orlando.
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.
When I so that pool, I was in shock the palms around the white sand, and the clear salt water make it and artificial beach. Gabriel played for 4 hours in the pool and went we realized it was dark the night had arrived so we went to our rooms anxious for the next day.
