What is it like on a Rollercoaster?
You plant yourself down onto the seat, fastening on your safety harness with your clammy, sweaty hands. There is fresh, earthy smell in the air, your friend next to you is smiling, the sun is shining, and your body is beaming with energy. What could possibly go wrong? There is a sudden thud, as if thunder struck, and slowly, almost as if trying to intimidate you, the cart starts to move up the track. You see the twists and turns coming toward you, well actually, your going towards them. Your friend whispers something in your ear, but you wouldnt care less, the road ahead is what is important. Oh my, dont those loops like massive...this may not have been such a great idea. Realizing there is no going back, you close your eyes, hoping not to feel like being dangled like a noose 50 feet into the air, but this feeling is nearly impossible to ignore. As your cart rises into the loop, you start hearing an opera of screams and screeches from the people around you. Now, you can clearly feel the force of gravity pulling at you. It almost seems impossible that that puny, torn safety harness can hold a full grown person. The cart moves slowly across the top of the loop, then accelerates its way down the slope at an alarming speed. At this moment, it is when your adrenaline as it its highest. There is also the most screams at this point, even your friend next to you who pushed you into doing this is crying for mommy. But as it turns out, you feel a slight delight come over you, and a small grin runs across your face. " Damn, I took that on, now I can do anything."
