Roller Coaster Rush

I walked out of the car. “Have fun!” my parents shouted.
“Okay!” I replied.
I walked across the street to the bleak concrete sidewalk to the entrance Great America. My friends and I had spent a week planning this meetup for the day. As I walked towards the entrance I saw my old friends Theodore and Oliva. Theodore was a normal sized boy and had short, black hair and dark brown eyes. He was wearing khaki shorts and an orange t-shirt. Wow, I forgot how long Olivia’s hair was. I thought. She had very long dark brown hair and was wearing a bright pink t-shirt and flower print shorts.
“Hey gurl,” Theodore spoke in a fake valley girl voice.
“Hi,” I replied.

We stood there is silence. The sound of excited chatter and faint

We entered the train, Olivia alone in the front and Natalie and I behind her. I felt regret gnaw at me like a dog with a bone as I sat down and put on the lengthy safety. “Hello everyone!” the speaker cheerfully announced, “welcome to Gold Striker!” Everyone whooped. “Are you ready?” it shouted. Everyone also whooped to that. “Here we go!” he said.

The train left the station and made a sudden turn to the right. Everyone whooped. Can they not? I thought. Another turn to the right and then left and we were going up the immensely tall hill. I tried to calm myself down by concentrating on the wind on my face.

The rhythmic sound of the chains and excited whoops were the only thing I heard as we went up the hill. The rest of the park was spread out below us, and I could see for miles. As we reached the crest of the hill, Natalie shouted, “Here we go!”
“I hate you!” I screamed as we zoomed down a tunnel covering our descent down the hill. Everyone was shrieking as we barreled down. Flashes of light from the cracks in the tunnel were the only thing I could see. The tracks roared as we shot down the tracks, slowly turning right. “Quick!” Natalie yelled, “the camera is coming!

    Light streaked in the heavens as the pair made their way carefully over the uncertain terrain. The boy's footing was surer than the girl's, though both made good time, both were used to the sort of scrambling required to move quickly over the rocky hills, wary of unseen holes that threatened to roll an ankle. The boy was ahead of the girl, moving swiftly, threatening to leave her behind, if only because…

    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.…

    “And on your left you’ll see one of the tallest waterfalls in the world” the train conductor announced. Everyone shuffled for their camera to capture the moment. As the scene came into view the cog train was filled with the sound of a disappointed gasp, followed by glances to the vested instructor that read ‘are you kidding me’. The “waterfall” looked more like a miniscule stream than a massive landmark he told us it would be. Because we were near the top of Pike’s Peak, he wasn’t completely wrong. We were expecting something the size of Niagara Falls.…

    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…

    The journey to Mooney’s Bay felt inevitably long as I was anxious throughout the whole trip. We finally arrived at Mooney’s Bay and towed our toboggans up the hill. On my first ride down the hill, I shut my eyes as tightly as possible. I felt wind cutting across my face like a knife as we charged down the hill like horses without reins.…

    I used to love reading. In kinder and first, my nose was stuck in a Magic Tree House book. Third, fourth, and fifth grade I basically lived at Hogwarts (in my rightfully sorted house, of course, I am a proud Hufflepuff). And in middle school, I discovered THE tween series of my generation, Maximum Ride. Reading was exciting, and even though I had done it for years every time I picked up a book it felt so novel. I was your ordinary bookworm until seventh grade when the joint power of Ms. Green’s teaching and James Patterson’s writing broke my will to read.…

    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.…

    The ground under my feet transitioned from smooth concrete to rugged track. Three hundred meters. The instance of my feet hitting the ground became few and in between.

    Shayla was sitting in the ferns close to Rayleigh. They both looked up between the leaves they caught a glimpse of something red. It has to be at the top of Castle Rock thought Rayleigh to herself. It was distant and unmenacing. She composed herself triumphantly, to hear the sounds of the hunt dying away, slowly. Yet no one made a sound; and as the minutes passed, in the green shade, her feeling of triumph faded. At last, the girls heard a voice. But not just a voice, Masyn’s voice, but hushed. “Are you certain?” The savage addressed said nothing. Perhaps he made a gesture. Dante spoke loudly “If you’re fooling us-” Immediately after this, there came a gasp, and a sequel of pain. Rayleigh crouched instinctively. One of the twins was there, outside of the thicket, with Masyn and Dante. “You’re sure she meant in there?” The twin moaned faintly and then squealed again. “She meant she’d hide in there.” “Yes-oh-yes!” Silver laughter scattered among the trees. So they knew. Rayleigh and Shayla picked up there sticks, ready for battle. But what could they do to them? It would take them a week to break a path through the thicket; and anyone who wormed his was in would be helpless.…

    It has never felt like such a long, and dreadful trudge up the hill. I am walking and walking, in an upwards direction,higher and higher, however, it feels like I am not making any actual progress in distance. Once I get to the top, if I ever do, I’ll be able to see the whole city, and better yet, I’ll be able to see my best friends! I’d better be back by 10:00, or my parents will be furious.…
