What did you think you would never ever do… but did?

Go on a Roller coaster. I’m not a thrill seeking person, really. I don’t generally like amusement park rides that are of the extreme classification.

And then I found myself in Busch Gardens Williamsburg. They’ve got a couple of really nice roller coasters and I was determined, along with my mom, to actually go on one. So we scouted things out. We didn’t want to go on anything where we were dangling, so The Big Bad Wolf and Alpengeist were out. SApollo’s Chariot was also out. Too tall and fast. So we ended up in the line for the Loch Ness Monster.

Little did we know at the time that this coaster involved interlocking loops. My dad and sister who chose not to ride were aware of this fact, but did not tell us until after.

I should have gotten the picture they took. The people in front of us in the car had their hands up and were screaming. My mom and myself were in the back seat with our eyes closed holding on for dear life. The first part of the ride I was watching. The first drop was killer, and I made the mistake of looking out the side when we went through the first loop ( “Why is the ground above me?!?”). It was…interesting.

I probably wouldn’t do something like that again, epically since all the rides are getting taller, faster, more intense. It’s just too much for me. But I did it once. Well twice actually. I was on a wooden coaster at Hershey Park in Pennsylvania. Comet
