I Survived Six Flags

Physics and Calculus students on 6 coach buses. I was nervous on the bus ride there. Roller coasters? I'm scared of heights! What do I do? I want to try, but what if I die?!

We got there 2 hours later, around 10am. We met up and debated on what we should ride first. The swings? Or Nitro?

My boyfriend, being the caring and wonderful person he is, suggested we go on Nitro first, because the line will be shorter. If we went later, the line would be too long. I protested with all my might. But somehow, we went off into that direction anyways.

We were in front of the ride entrance. I freaked. Like, I really freaked. I started tearing and crying. I have never been on a roller coaster, I am afraid of heights, and my friends were forcing me to go on that big, tall, giant monster. I was terrified.

But that was exactly what I was afraid of. I was afraid of disappointing people and ruining the fun for being the party pooper. It was supposed to be a fun field trip. I didn't want to ruin anything for anyone. Still, I didn't have enough courage to go on Nitro. Log rides? Yes, love to. Roller coasters? Sorry, No.

My boyfriend gave up and I stopped crying. I sighed in relief and disappointment. I felt so bad. I said I'll go on the Batman. So we waited in line, my heart no longer pumping crazy and my mind relieved. The six of us got on the ride, ready to go. Then one of my friends got called out because she had her backpack with her. That was sad. Still, the ride went on.

So it was my first roller coaster. And in all honesty, I don't know why I never rode it earlier. It's not scary at all! All those log rides I go on are way scarier than that.

After Batman, I guess I didn't mind being dragged to Nitro. And just as my boyfriend said, the line was an hour and 30 minutes long. Now I felt really bad.

When I sat down and the coaster started crawling up, I felt fear again. Oh my God, that looks higher than before. We got to the top. There were two bees dancing. I shouted out, "bees!" And then we fell. I closed my eyes for the first drop and screamed until I couldn't hear myself. Probably because the roller coaster was too loud.

In the end, I'm glad I was forced onto Nitro. And there are other stories about Six Flags to be told, but it would be too long.

I am no longer afraid of roller coasters.



Look it's Mr.Six!
