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 remember the day vividly: the sizzling of food frying, children yelling, my tears running, it was the first time I adventured to Six Flags. The uneasiness of my stomach while swaying tens of feet from the ground on the Texas Giant petrified the adventurous spirit out of me. However, I did not realize that moment `would shape the next eight years of life, emerging in my memory at every unfamiliar experience I faced. It was my senior year when I declined an invitation to go camping with my friends an epiphany struck me. How many of these opportunities was I going to skip out on due to my reluctant manner?…
A great vacation for me would be a road trip across canada with my three other family members, my sister, mom and dad. my dad would mostlikley drive us to each of the provinses.…
It was just a boring day in my hometown, a traditional, weak entrance a lot of narrative stories use to try to get the attention of the readers. This story, however, isn’t one of those traditional stories; this one involves a day that had been exciting up to that point already. The memory that resonates daily throughout my mind would have to be the time when I went to Six Flags for the first time in my life. Before I jump into my story, I should tell you my friends mess with each other a lot, almost to the point where we get into fights with each other.…
As my skin begins to crisp and blister, my water bottle in desperate need of a refill, I look up to the blinding, hot, Australian sun, and sigh. We have only been at MovieWorld for thirty minutes and I am already as red as a lobster and its only 9:30am.…
Something I wanted to do this summer was sleep more. If I would have slept more I would’ve been happier. I also wish I could have spent the night at my aunts and uncles house more. I wish I could’ve tanned more also. I wish I could’ve played, hiked and swam more.…
I remember that morning perfectly, Macy and I left to begin our road trip to the Florida Keys more specifically, Key West.We woke up at 5:00 am,and her grandparents were coming to pick us up at 5:30 to begin our trip.We went to bed late the previous night because we were just so excited to be going together. Talking about the pictures we were gonna take, the places we would go, the beach, shopping, and more. We were just so happy to be going.Since we were so tired, we barely made it out of bed. Rushing to brush our teeth, brush our hair, and get our bags all waiting by the door. Her grandparents were running behind a little, arriving at her house at 6:20 am.…
I returned back from vacation this week and it was nice to see all the children’s smiling faces. The parent’s express how they missed me as well as their children. This makes me love my job even more. This week there was a two year old child who had a seizure at the center; this was scary for the children, staff, as well I. 911 had to be called out to the center. We all have had CPR and first aid training so we were comfortable with handling the case until the ambulance reached us. However, we were not so prepared when the child stopped breathing. This was a learning experience, but I do not want to do it again. I want all my children safe and happy. I had to ride with the child to the hospital till her mother was reached and notified what…
It was 2009 and I had been in sixth grade for a couple of months. I was on the phone with one of my friends from school when my mom called through my door for me to come out into the living room. I ignored her and kept talking for a few minutes when she called me out again. I rolled my eyes and told my friend I would call her right back. I walked into the living room and it seemed odd to me that both my sisters and dad were all out there too. I watched my mom take a deep breath with my dad by her side. As she began to speak her voice shook and gloss covered her eyes. “The doctors found a lump in my last mammogram.” she said. “It came back as cancer. I’m going to have to get treatment but I’m going to be okay.” No one else said a word, we all…
Finally by the time we got home I went straight to my mom and dads room and I noticed “I WAS MISSING A TOOTH” I screamed at the top of my lungs and my mom rushed to the room but eventually I stopped screaming and calmly laid down on the bed and fell asleep while watching the show Phineas and Ferb(I was only 6 so I should be aloud to watch the show alright).The next day when I woke up I smelled heaven and right away I knew what it was my grandmas pancakes!I rushed out of bed and ran as fast as I could to the dining room. I was just on time because the pancakes were about to be ready. After…
A couple years ago my husband and I decided to take our yearly family vacation to the Florida Keys. Ever since we moved to Florida in 2012, our family has fallen in love with the ocean. You could definitely see my oldest son Zane drawn to the ocean becoming very involved with the sea’s complex ecosystem that provided endless hours of entertainment. Zane was able to easily memorize multiple species of fish and coral. He continued studying the ocean taking several advanced marine biology and oceanography classes. He would always jump at the chance to apply his knowledge and teach those around him about the ocean. When we go to the beach together and discover a new fish Zane will explain the unique characteristics of that fish. Zane would dive underwater to point something out just so he could come up and explain to me what he had discovered. Everyone is always…
My first home for many years. This land comes rarer to me as the day…
I love Disney princesses. They were always fun and adventurous. I had one problem though, none of them ever looked like me. Several of them looked like my friends, but not me. When my mom showed me The Princess and the Frog, I immediately fell in love with Princess Tiana. I admire Princess Tiana from The Princess and the Frog because she is hard-working, loyal, and determined.…
I was going to apply for 6 flags amusement park at a point, but just didn’t end up working with my schedule. I am glad that you have become more confidence and less anxious. I still get nervous and shy even if I think I am prepared enough. The one thing that helps me not let it get the hold of me is, just being as truthful as I can be and let the marbles fall in its…
It was a sunny day and my mom finally let my older sister and I go to Six Flags alone. Little did I know, we weren’t going to make it to Six Flags at all? When I got on the CTT Bus I couldn’t wait- it would be my first time on the goliath. “Last stop everyone off” yelled the bus driver. When I got off I mentioned to my sister “This does not look like Six Flags” “I think we missed our stop and we are lost “she answered. I started to look for any thing I noticed. But all I saw was two large buildings and lots of people.…
