roller coaster

My first experience with a roller coaster was a small roller coaster at a local fair. Looking at that looming monstrosity moving so quickly sucking the life out of its sardine-canned occupants, I was dumbstruck, I couldn’t tell whether I wanted to cry or try it again. Ever since that initial impression it became fossilized in my imagination many years ago, these rides have remind me of mountains that I strive to climb. I would stand in line for a whole day to experience something that lasts only five minutes.
The first ride on one of these fantastic mechanisms gave me an instant rush of adrenaline. As the death-defying ride started, a lump in my throat pulsed, and I thought I was going to be sick. 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 ride reached the top of its climb allowed my body to relax in a brief state of normalcy, until I drop to my demise. Then there was an assault of stomach-turning weightlessness as the machine continued gaining speed and then I slowly descended back toward the earth. A cymbal-like crash vibrated through the air as the death-defying machine reached bottom, and much to my surprise I began to rise again.
Each new turn gave me more confidence in the agitating machine. Every slope left me happy that I had survived the previous death-defying fall. When another nerve-wracking climb failed to follow the last exhilarating descent and the ride was over, I knew at that moment I was hooked. Drained of all of my energy, I believe I left it hanging in the air; I followed my fellow passengers down the hard metal steps to reach the safety of my previous footing. I had been past the worst, but only to have the opportunity to ride again.
My fascination with these fantastic thrill rides is deeply engrained in my soul. A trip on the roller coaster never fails to thrill me. Although I am becoming older I have more of an inclination to find the next bigger, badder roll coaster, the child-like thrill I have on a rollercoaster continues with each and every ride.
