Personal Narrative: My Roller Coaster
WHOOSH! AHHHH! Music to my ears. As I walked around trying to find The Beast, I could smell grease from the food booths. I could already feel my skin searing from the bright hot sun. I looked up and I could see a car at the peak of the Diamondback. I checked the map to figure out how to get to my favorite coaster; The Beast. Contrary to the weather, I knew that today was going to be a great day. When my mom mentioned going to King’s Island earlier in the year, I was a bit nervous. I didn’t have the best experience with rollercoasters in the past, and didn’t know if I even liked them after going to Holiday World and being forced to ride most of them. But I didn’t know what I was in for in May when I got to go to King’s Island (for school) for the first time. I would’ve been fine not riding a coaster all day, but my group just kept nagging me! What do you, it turned out I loved roller coasters. After that trip I knew my family and …show more content…
I was so dissapointed to find out that the Vortex was closed. My goal was to be able to ride the Banshee and The Vortex by the end of the day; no problem right? We thought maybe it was a safety thing and we’d check back after lunch. After we had gotten all warmed up and had rode pretty much every coaster at least once, it was time to eat. At that point I wasn’t really sure if my stomach was growling because I was hungry, or because the coasters and my stomach didn’t really like each other. We ended up settling on Subway and it was delicious, but then something caught my eye across from the picnic tables; cheese bacon french fries. I HAD to have them, no doubt about it. My three favorite foods coming together and creating something even more amazing than themselves; I couldn’t pass up this opportunity. I rushed over to the stand and came back in awe over how beautiful the fries looked. After I had filled my stomach, it was time to get back to

    The second best thing I enjoy about Six Flags is their food. The first thing I always get is their leg or a funnel cake. I could smell all the food being cooked and served as I walked thru the food area. My mouth got watery with all the food as I waited in the long line to order mines. Then I spotted the frozen lemonade stand, it was really cold and tastes very sweet. It felt nice feeling the cold ice lemonade going down my throat especially with the hot temperature. They have many other different kinds of food such as nachos, burger, hot dogs, pizza, cotton candy, and hot dogs.…

    I remember day after day going to swimming lessons in the summer of 2002 at the Mount Vernon pool. Almost every day I walked by the ladder that seemed to go on forever. I used to sit on the pools edge and watch the older kids do flips and other cool tricks off of the high dive. Many times I had gotten half way up the ladder but couldn't bring myself to go all the way up. For a seven year old going off the high dive was like a right of passage and a way to be seen as "cool" in the eyes of the older kids. Today I will be telling you about the first time a braved the high dive.…

    Climbing into the lime green car, my fear was over taking me. I was getting ready to ride the Titan, an adrenaline pumping roller coaster ride at Six Flags. It was easily the scariest ride at the park, in my opinion, with its enormous peaks, its deep descents, and double helix like turns was enough to make me sick. The ride began. Ascending up in the car on the canary yellow track, into the humidity filled, bright sky, the people observing from below resembled little army ants . The aerial view of Dallas was breathtaking, as I reached the peak of the ride and looked around. Passengers occupying the cars in front of me started falling off, like a cliff. I let out a high-pitched shrill, as we plummeted toward the Earth below. Traveling…

    When you're a kid you would never think of almost dying at sesame place, but that's exactly what happened to me. As my family and I entered the park, my eyes grew with amazement as I looked around me. There were zooming roller coasters, families laughing, toddlers running around with a sugar high from all the cotton candy they ate, and especially the terrifying, enormous, gray and blue water slide, I looked at the slide with fear and excitement in my eyes. I knew right then and there that I was going to go on that slide no matter the consequences.…

    The Fury, the fastest, longest, and tallest rollercoaster on the East Coast. With a top speed of 95 mph and a height of 325 feet makes it the biggest rollercoaster I had ever gotten on, beating the Intimidator 305 by 25 feet. I remember seeing on television and wanting to ride it really badly. It just looked so amazing and since I love rollercoasters and love riding rollercoasters, I knew it was something I had to do. I had ridden lots of rollercoasters before this one such as the Intimidator 305 and the Top Thrill Dragster, which I had enjoyed riding very much, and I figured that the Fury would be just as good. So I asked my parents of we could go to the Carrowinds to ride the Fury. They said yes and we went with my aunt to the Carrowinds.…

    I broke my arm today while getting on the freight train. Thank God I still have an arm unlike some of the other I have meet who have lost an arm or leg and some even know someone who has lost their life ( Riding the Rails). I have done this a couple of time now and I shouldn't have been so anxiety about it but I was. I hide under the track outside the yard like I normally do, waiting for the train to reach momentum so I could get on. I forgot to check for the bull guards who are hired to keep hoboes from jumping on freight. I guess I got too comfy with my environment( Riding the rails). Right when I was getting on the trains, I heard the bull guards yelling and chasing after me. It threw me off my balance and I nearly fell off the train. I…

    Augustus Waters from The Fault in Our Stars once spoke, "I'm on a rollercoaster that only goes up my friend." At one point in my life, I found this quote to be totally insignificant. Now that I look back on my teenage years, I see it. The rollercoaster only went up from the point I opened my big, fat, attitude infested, mouth to my step-mother, Verona. The take off was bumpy, as well the entire rest of the journey up. Though it did eventually come down, not only going up. I came down an entirely different person and didn't have to think of life as a fictional roller coaster to stay happy.…

    I let my right arm hang loose to cover it with the magnesium powder I carry with me. I draw a shaky breath and look up to the top of the invigorating boulder. The cheering of my friends from beneath reduces to ruis in the back of my mind. I concentrate on the remaining two meters I need to distance, tighten every muscle in my body and make the last pass easily. I sigh of relief escapes my mouth. I made it.…

    Nearing the end of the tube I can almost see the shore, It feels as if I've been riding this wave for days. This wave is my hurdle in the ocean that is life, choppy at the beginning but slowly passing by. The ocean has many waves, one for each surfer to ride, my specialty wave happened to be dyslexia. It was in the second grade that my teacher first realized I was different from the other students, because I had yet to read my first book. My parents had found this odd as well, and took me to see a neurologist, who diagnosed me as having dyslexia. I did not quite know what this meant at the time, I only knew that it was the reason I could not comprehend the topics as easily as my classmates.…

    A huge Mickey’s Fun Wheel jumped out at me right when I walked into the California Park. The colorful flowers set alongside a beautiful lagoon. The clip-clop of horse drawn carriages brought people back to carefree days. And of course, I never forget the biggest reason for going to Disneyland – the rides. There was a number of eye-catching moments here- some featuring otherworldly creatures, and white knuckle thrill rides through the clear sky.…
