I was shaking nervously. I was going on a really scary ride called X-2 with my cousins. We were close to getting on the ride, no chickening out now, Heh. I was scared to death. Everybody looked happy and excited to go on the ride. And I was as pale as a ghost could ever be because We were going on the next ride. Oh and also YOU RIDE BACKWARDS ON THIS RIDE!!! I mean what kind of person makes ride where you ride backwards where you don’t know what’s going to happen and makes the ride 10 times scarier!!! That’s just crazy right!? It doesn’t make any sense at all! And when you’re in line they tell you things not to do on the ride like closing your eyes because it makes it even scarier! Now I have goosebumps on my body, thanks to the people who made this ride. When I finally started to get comfortable it was are turn to go on the ride!

  • Essay On Six Flags Great America

    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.

  • Universal Studios Halloween Horror Night: What makes it scary?

    704 Words  | 2 Pages

    Halloween is the time of year that most people loved the idea of being scared beyond belief. But nowadays it’s harder to be genuinely scared because it seems like some people have become accustomed to most horrifying things that relate to Halloween due to the fact that it is the same every year. Nonetheless every year amusement parks use Halloween as a marketing scheme to get people and their friends to come to their horror nights, and spend money on ridiculous overpriced items, which all present the same things; clowns, clowns, chainsaws, and more clowns. Yes we can all agree that clowns are scary, but there has to come a time where the ones coming up with these “horror nights” step back and realize that what they are doing is no longer working anymore. But alas there is someone out there who knows what they’re doing, and it quite possibly could have to do with the fact that they are connected to the movie studio that did invent the horror film genre. But what makes Universal Studios Halloween Horror night so sinister? Universal Studios has a way where they take you out of reality and place you in a horror movie where you encounter many horror mazes, and also by the way they attack your senses in unexpected ways.

  • Roller Coasters Research Paper

    1239 Words  | 3 Pages

    It’s clear that roller coasters, while safe, still create fear, and still provoke a ‘fight or flight’ response. This is all in the riders head and is a mixture of both the engineering and psychology of a roller coaster. Roller coasters create thrills through an illusion and the psychology of fear. The sensation of danger and great speed on a modern roller coaster is mainly an illusion. Accidents are rare because of all of the safety devices that have been put in place and continue to be invented. Designers of roller coasters manipulate our deepest fears and play psychological games creating scary rides.

    The first ride on one of these fantastic beasts gave me an instant rush of adrenaline. As the death-defying ride started, a lump in my throat pulsed like a dislodged heart ready to walk the plank. As the ride gained speed, the resistance to gravity built up against my body until I was unable to move. An almost imperceptible pause as the wheel reached the top of its climb allowed my body to relax in a brief state of normalcy. Then there was an assault of stomach-turning weightlessness as the machine continued its rotation and I descended back toward the earth. A cymbal-like crash vibrated through the air as the wheel reached bottom, and much to my surprise I began to rise again.
