Descriptive Essay Roller Coasters - 836 Words

â€Å"Tanesha, are you coming?† I’m sitting on a bench, under a shady tree, to get away from the blazing hot California sun. My Mom is standing a few feet away from me, waiting to go on the ride, â€Å"The Mummy’s Revenge.† â€Å"Are you coming,† She asks again. I didn’t know what to say because I don’t really like roller coasters. Not that I’ve actually been on one, but the big noises they make, their height, and just the overall representation of them just freaks me out. The worst part of a roller coaster is when I go down.

I am the only one on the ride who is screaming, and everyone else is laughing. The roller coaster is so fast, I don’t notice it when we make it to the top of the drop, but when we’re going down, I freak out. I start screaming even louder than before - if that’s even possible.

Drop, after the drop, after the drop. I feel worse after every single drop. We keep getting tiny jerks after every turn. I feel a little sick, but then I ignore it. The ride finally slows down, and I think it’s done, so I stop screaming. But then, the ride starts moving backward! How much more torture was this ride gonna give me?! We’re doing the whole roller coaster over again, but this time backward. When we go down drops backward, the pressure is so much, I feel like my face is being dug into my seat. As we zoom past the skull heads on the sides, mummy voices start laughing. It’s like a roller coaster haunted house! Two things I don’t like. Rollercoaster, and haunted house! I am so done with this ride by now.
