The first time that I tried something completely new was when I went on a roller coaster. I tried it because I was bored of doing the same thing and wanted a go at something new. I was extremely scared at first and never used to try new things but that one time. It also taught me to keep trying new things even though they might be scary.
When I was around five years old or so, I had agreed to go on a roller coaster. I was at an amusement park with my family when we decided to try going on a new roller coaster. I never usually did new things and stuck to doing things I was comfortable with but I still said I would try. I would only ever stick to one kind of popsicle or go to the same exact place over and over again because I didn’t want to leave to go anywhere else. When I agreed to go onto that roller coaster, it changed me from being a person who never liked new things to someone who was about to learn to. As I went on, I was petrified and wanted to leave so much but my dad refused to let me go. As it started to begin, I was even more scared. I was screaming the whole time and was relieved when it ended. That roller coaster made me hate them so much that I wouldn’t go on them for another

In fact, from that first time on that ride, ever since then I’ve been trying multiple things I never wanted to. For example, last summer, I tried out going on a rope course. I’ve done them before but that one was different. It was higher up and a lot of different obstacles. I went to try it because I remembered that trying new things can be terrifying but it can also be extremely fun. I went on the highest level there was and went through it all, occasionally wanting to just jump off and leave but I did not. Ever since I tried that rope course, it made me a little less afraid of heights which I’m so grateful
It was the summer of 2012 and my family was taking another trip to Six Flags Great America. Earlier that summer we went just for me to be disappointed. At the time I wasn’t 54 inches yet and couldn’t ride any of the rides that I wanted to because they were the most popular at the amusement park. But, I hit a growth spurt between trips and we planned to ride all of the big rollercoasters. The one that I was most terrified of at the time was Raging Bull, one of the tallest, fastest, and longest steel coasters in the US. As we started to wait in line for the ride I was shaking with both anticipation and fear and began to rethink my idea to ride the rollercoaster. I decided to stay in line and see what many people thought was a great coaster.
I was sitting in a basement that smelled bad and was stuffy, I needed to get out of there. I was with my friend who liked to ride bikes. So, we decided to ride bikes. Outside we only had 1 normal bike, the other was an old bike with a banana seat on it. I lost a coin toss so I had to ride the trashy bike that had trouble even going straight. There was a trail down at the park where we would ride the bikes. We thought we would go there first and then go climb on playground after. At the very beginning of the trail there’s this difficult hill that goes pretty fast and shoots you right at a left turn. If you didn’t slow down and turn fast enough you would crash.
We sat down, on the ride, and the warm bars hugged around our chest. . I screamed one million times more than the little kids sitting next to me. The day went on and the sweet winds danced through the air. The excitement of Bailey, I, and the other people grew as we approached the bigger rides. After riding everything, the sky was starting to go to sleep. Because my stomach was in a whirl, I had to face my fear. We were standing in line of the Top Thrill Dragster. When I was standing there I was nervous with big eyes and my jaw wide open it could touch the ground.
The experience I had at Six Flags was really fun. I even learned a little lesson in this experience. I learned to never be afraid to do something if you really want to do it. Never be afraid to do something because I’m sure that your going to have a great
Have you ever been on a roller coaster.? Well I have. Roller coasters are fun and scary at the same time. It’s like your heart drops to your feet and your chest comes up to your throat. That feeling is awesome.! Have you ever ridden the furry 365 at carowinds? That is an insane roller coaster. I bet you haven’t ridden the tennessee tornado.? I rode it with my dad it was fun and scary at the same time. On the roller coaster you go from loop to loop. There are at least three loops in the whole track all spread out. But it is fun anyway, in fact it is so fun that you will want to ride it over and over again. I hope you get to ride the fire express. It is in tennessee. My dad,my brother,and I all rode the fire express together and had A good time.
When I was seven years old I learned how to ride a bike I started of in a less bumpy place then I started in a more crowded area. I remember the feeling of the wind flowing through my hair as I rode. My step dad and step brother were both cheering me on. They yelled for me to fall over because I was rolling toward the road. I fingered the ground that was as hard as a rock. I was fine I just got up and brushed myself off.
One time I faced a challenge I went ziplining. At first I did not want to do it because I did not want to up that high off the ground. Then one of my friends asked me would you go with me. so I said yes. when I got up there to the top of the stairs. I was really nervous. I wanted to come back down. Then i said to myself you can do it.
Riding down Pikes Peak was one of the best adventures I have ever had, however, it was horrifying at times. Our whole vacation in Colorado was full of adventure. We rode ATVs, went white water rafting, but the best part was riding a bike down Pikes Peak. This was an exhilarating adventure I will never
When I was younger, my parents would take us to Disney World almost every year. There was always excitement and I always felt like butterflies were flying around in my stomach from the joy. There was so much anticipation that built up when we would stand in an enormous group of people, at 7:00 in the morning, waiting for them to open up the gates. All the little kids, including me, would scream their heads off like wild banshees and race like cheetahs to their favorite rides. One of my favorite rides was the Tower of Terror. It dropped me as fast as lightning and made my stomach roll with fear!
I vividly remember the first time that I was about to go to an amusement park in sixth grade. I was extremely enthusiastic when my school informed me the day before that we were about to go to an amusement
Aside from me being thrown on a roller coaster at the age of three, I have more ideas of why I am still afraid of these rides. It’s not really my parents fault because they didn’t know, but I also have a hatred for fast rides because I hate to get motion sick. I get sick because of sudden quick motions, like how roller
As odd as it sounds a roller coaster did in fact help develop my most important relationship. From as early as I can remember, my family has had the annual tradition of visiting Dorney Park. This trip was always the highlight of my summer and holds some of the most important bonding moments I have with my cousin Nick. The day was always all about us. We sat next to each other on every ride, shared a variety of greasy foods, and most importantly, we rode Steel Force as much as possible. Nick has Down Syndrome, and pretty much whatever he says goes. This is how our tradition of Steel Force started. After riding it for the first time, Nick and I loved it more than life. We would run up the steps to the ride, pop in the first open seat, ride the coaster, jump off, look at our strategically planned on-ride photo, and repeat. This yearly tradition
It all began when a couple of friends and myself went to Six Flags for some fun right at the beginning of summer. We arrived there early in morning, which was about nine o’clock for us. The birds were chirping and the sun was bright. There was also a hint of dew, making the grass sparkle in the sunlight. The place was packed, people were standing in huge lines waiting to buy their tickets. My friends and I were lucky because we had season passes and just walked right to the front gate and walked in. Naturally there was a security check at the front gate, little did I know that I was going to run into them again in the near future. From there we went straight to the ride “The Mind Eraser.” It was always wise to go to that ride first, because as the day progressed, the line grew longer. Since the ride is only about a minute long, the wait then becomes to long to make the ride worth the wait. As we got on, all of us were a little jumpy. It was the first time being to the amusement park that year, and our stomachs were not immune to the s...
We picked the Renegade, an old Wild West themed ride. I was kind-of scared because it was my first time riding a roller coaster. The roller coaster went up very slowly. When we got to the top, the roller coaster shot down really fast and turned slightly so that it felt like you would fall. I was terrified. Looking back in retrospect, the roller coaster is not as scary as it seemed. It was one of the best days of my life!
One of the many experiences I have came across happened over this summer, but before I start, I want to talk a little bit about myself. I grew up in a loving but overprotective environment. My parents are always there for me when I needed help but that was also the reason that made me scared to step out of my bubble. Over the summer, I went to an amusement park with my cousin and a friend of mine. Riding any of the rides there was a challenge for me. It was way out of my comfort zone but my my friends pulled me in on every single ride when I was half shaking about how the seat belts might break and the next thing you know, I could be flying in the middle of nowhere . Later on that night, my cousin told me I shouldn’t get influence by my friend if I didn’t want to, but I told him I need to. I need to get on the rides because everytime when I was with my mom, she’d tell me not to get on or my dad telling me the news of how a kid fell off the seat while on the ride.
