Personal Narrative: I Love Roller Coasters
I love roller coasters, that is fact. But I have not always been this way, but this story changed my opinion, and also taught me a great lesson. Me and my friends were about to ride the tallest coaster in the world, but it didn't seem so scary after I rode it.
The massive hunk of steel looked at us right in the eye, I remember sweat trickling down my face on that 95 degree summer day, at Six Flags Great Adventure. My friends and I had gone on a few rides already, such as Batman, Nitro, and the Infamous El Toro. But even that wooden monster of a coaster was nothing compared to what lingered on us. The true king of the park, Kingda Ka.
I finally broke the silence by announcing that “ There is absolutely no way I am going on that”.
Nana replied “ Come on Ben, it’s just a roller coaster.”
Shane added “ Yeah, there is literally a less than 1 percent chance anything can happen.”
I decided to shift the conversation by replying “ I have a 1 hour line to think about it, Maybe I will consider it”.After that we all decided to talk about other things before we almost assuredly faced death, or at least our lunches. I admittedly was the chicken of the group, I at first did not even want to go on El Toro,That also took some talking into. However I …show more content…
the coaster stopped for a second, which only made my heartbeat faster, I hated Nana for those few seconds, I truly did. But then the coaster started, and as we were going up I was scared, but as we're coming down, all the fear turned into a rush of joy and adrenaline, and I felt great, we went up the next hill, and it was awesome, unfortunately it was a short ride, but it was a fun ride. After that I never felt scared on a roller coaster again, and I have been on Kingda Ka three times more, but this experience has taught me something. If you are in good enough shape and whatever you're doing is proven to be safe, be adventurous. After all, you only live
