 Next weekend, my friends and I are planning a trip to Six Flags of America. I'm really looking forward to it. I can already taste the snow cones and hear the click-click-click of the roller coaster as the car climbs the first hill. I remember the first time I was tall enough to ride an adult roller coaster. I rode the Gemini at Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio. Gemini is an old
wooden roller coaster with two trains that run simultaneously on parallel tracks. The trains race for a first-place finish. The first time I rode it I was in the blue
car (and we won!). I was super nervous about the first drop, but my sister coaxed me into conquering my fear. It was an exhilirating experience. Once
I got off the ride, I was hooked. I wanted to ride roller coasters over and over to feel the rush of adrenaline again.
I also remember when I went on a high school trip to the Magic Kingdom and Universal Studios in Orlando (the kings of amusement parks). It was
one of the first times I was away from my parents and did not require close supervision. My friends and I went on all the rides and ended up having a blast.
I still look back on that trip as my one of fondest memories from high school.
As you can tell, I love amusement parks. They are tons of fun, bring people together and create fond memories.
So what about you? What memorable experiences do you have of amusement parks?
