Life in a Roller coaster !!

Recently went to Esselworld amusement park. Had a lot of fun...sat a lot of rides. Ones that go up and down...
ones that take you to the top of the world...
ones that make you go round and round....
ones that splash you with water....

The best part for me, will always be...the roller coasters...Exciting little rail carts...make you scream and shout...and give you a thrill of a lifetime...initially you are full of anticipation as the cart slowly starts of...then you are full of awe...at the height it gains....you start to wonder when it'll start giving you the thrill. Meanwhile it reaches its apex...you see the rails in front of you....declining sharply...the car seems to pause for a moment....and then....you r never prepared for what happens next...the coaster plunges down at breakneck speed and takes the following incline with equal speed.....you feel the exhilaration and can barely stop yourself from screaming....from excitement...of fear, of pure adrenaline rush or 'simply' from the odd unrecognized feeling of extremeness that it gives you !!.
The coaster then quietens down again....then thunders down another loop...darts around on a banked circle...zips past a loop...in which you're going to go round and upside down....comes to a top point again...and then just when you start feeling that the ride is getting old now ....it plunges down again....but the loop is ahead....so instead of slowing down after its plunge....it accelerates terrifically and takes you inside the loop and turns you upside down and right side up again....it happens so fast that you hardly have time..... to feel scared or to get used to it.
Either case...at the end of the ride you decide that it was so much fun....that you should ride it again !!!
Roller Coasters offer you the enthralling opportunity of going at speeds which are not possible when you are driving a car, or riding a bike. Bikes and cars can be driven fast...but of course, more than the thrill.......speed kills there...
In a coaster, the force of so many gravities means that you are 'almost' sitting in a fighter plane.

I had so much fun....that I have vowed to go to as many amusement parks as possible and sit on many roller coasters !!!
