Personal Narrative: Fear Of Roller Coasters

“Let's GO!” Demanded my friend, Chintan, we quickly rushed from one line to another. My friends and I waited patiently in line. Sweat poured down the temples of individuals as the sun silently shot waves of heat down at us. Every few minutes the line would move up until it was finally our turn to ride The Gemini. “Do I have to come? I don’t want to go on it, it looks really tall” I complained to my friends. “Stop being a baby, it is really fun. We are in middle school, how are you still afraid of roller coasters?” Mocked My friends. Ever Since my childhood I have had problems with rollercoasters; the speed does not bother me,in fact I find it exhilarating, it is how high they go that is the issue. I have had a fear of heights for as long …show more content…
I slowly opened my eyes and began to panic. The roller coaster included a few more slopes of the same height which i got used to; then came the final challenge: the biggest hill on the ride.

We rode the Magnum and decided to move onto Wicked Twister. Wicked Twister was one of my favorite rides because although it was really simple, it gave us a great view of Lake Erie. The ride had a U-shaped curve, the coaster went from one end to another with twists on each end.

We all had a quick lunch of pizza and a small drink before we resumed our conquest to ride the roller coasters. We walked around for a half hour so that we could digest our food before we made our way to the line for the Raptor. The Raptor was another classic Cedar Point ride that had crazy twists and turns accompanied with great speed. The special thing about the raptor was that there was no seat, but we were standing up and harnessed in.
