I pulled into the colossal amusement park‚ I could see it‚ the largest roller coaster I’ve seen in my life.

already set itself to a very depressing day. We walked to the entrance and we found out that the coupons were no good. That did not stop us our parents paid the normal cost. We were finally at Six Flags. That was the first time I had ever been to an amusement park. I had loads of fun. My tip to Texas was a blast.

When I was younger‚ I used to love going to amusement parks because roller coasters fascinated me. These beastly machines are usually made of steel or wood‚ can go as fast as 120 miles per hour‚ and reach the height of 420 feet.

Even still I enjoyed riding these fast amazing machines‚ sometimes so fast
