“Hold on tight Pete” shouted my mother.

“Don’t lean on the side” yelled my father from the seat


behind me.

I felt like I was flying as the roller coaster sped down the
first slope. It wasn’t extremely steep, but I was relieved
when we got to the bottom.

Then the coaster almost came to a complete halt. This was


even higher than the first slope because I could see across
the entire carnival grounds. The vibrant colours all around
were exciting and beautiful. Everything looked tiny and far
away. Even the people appeared no bigger than miniature
toys.

The coaster began to roll again. Soon we were increasing speed. My baseball cap flew off
and luckily my dad caught it. My cousin Kirk, who was sitting beside dad, screamed. I
thought to myself, “Don’t be a scary cat Kirk!” I closed my eyes and hoped we would soon
be at the bottom.

When I felt the coaster gradually slowing down, I opened my eyes again. I saw an even
larger slope ahead. Slowly, gradually the coaster climbed upwards once again. I hated the
way the coaster vibrated, jerked and clanked. It seemed like it would topple off the
track at anytime.

I knew how terrified I would be on the ride down but I


decided not to scream like Kirk.

When we reached the top of the final slope, the people


below seemed liked ants. I thought,” This will be some ride
down!” Whooooosh! The coaster flew down at breakneck
speed! I was right. This was the scariest of all! So I joined
Kirk with a good loud scream!
