ADRENALIN RUSH

I love adrenalin! I love it when your heart suddenly beats very fast and you get too excited you can barely walk. This is what I mostly experience when I am about to ride a roller coaster. I don't know for you, but for me, roller coasters are one of my favorite things to ride on. You have to be a daring person to ride on one and even if you go on one for several times, it never fails to thrill you. I have learned to love them ever since I was about 9 years old. My day would never be complete if I find myself in an amusement park and not be able to go on the daring rides.
My first vacation to the US was when I was 9 years old and it was during this trip where I took my first ride on a big roller coaster at Adventure Island, Florida. It was called the Hulk Ride and it was probably the biggest and fastest roller coaster I have ever been on. I found it pretty cool when the people waiting in line and the attendants clapped for us after we finished the ride because they said we lived to tell the story of how it feels like to be on the Hulk Ride.
The Kraken, Sea World, Florida. The ride where I got too scared  that I was only able to shout at the near end of the ride.

The Hulk, Adventure Island, Florida. Probably the tallest roller coaster I have ever been on.




Dueling Dragons, Universal Studios, Florida. The ride where you have to choose between the Fire Dragon or the Ice Dragon. I remember riding on this one twice because I wanted to ride on the Fire and Ice Dragon.

The Mummy, Universal Studios, Florida. I kept my eyes closed  during almost half of the ride because I was too scared. Even with eyes closed, the ride was still pretty darn terrifying.

Voodoo, Discovery Kingdom Six Flags, California. I still managed to do a peace sign while being tossed around and around in this dizzying ride.

The Boomerang, Discovery Kingdom Six Flags, California. This ride is called the Boomerang because after one full ride, you will still go for a second round only this time, backwards. 

Of course, roller coasters wouldn't be possible without amusement parks. Universal Studios, Florida ; Island Adventure, Florida ; Disneyland, Hong Kong ; Disney World, Florida ; Sea World, Florida ; Ocean Park, Florida ; Six Flags, California ; and Downtown Disney, Los Angeles, are among the thrilling amusement parks I have been to.
