    suggested that we ride a frightening roller coaster. My friend had then begged me to go along with her despite my fear of humongous heights then. Then, once again, she had laughed like a child, grabbed my arm and ran making me follow along behind her. Somehow, we both were waiting in a surprisingly boiled down line filled with only about half a dozen of people, waiting for the ride their turn patiently. My ears had welcomed the screams of people on the roller coaster and fear had built up inside

Every year since 2010, he's gotten my sister and I, along with both him and my grandma, passes to Six Flags Great America, except for the year 2014. That Christmas, my sister and I got a slip of paper saying we'd be going to Cedar Point on July 25th, 2015. That day came around faster than we thought, and we weren't completely ready for it. We were rushing through out the house to make sure we weren't forgetting

    the most fun, always goes and rides the roller coasters. Have you ever seen an theme park without roller coasters? But why this machine is so fun almost every theme park around the world has one in it? People with experience with this fun machine would like to say that it is their speed that makes it very fun.

    at the sight of the gigantic rides as their shadows were cast down over us. The mini-shops and food stand would attract our little noses at the sight and smell of every peculiar food and trinket imaginable. My Friend, Rhett, suggested we go try a roller coaster. At first, I thought he was just joking around trying to scare me. I asked him what he really wanted to do and after that I realized that he wasn’t joking. “Are you serious,” I asked him very concerned. He assured me that he was very serious
