In class we talked about riding a rollercoaster as an example of others influence on what you feel. My first rollercoaster ever was the Big Bad Wolf at Busch Gardens. I was so scared but I was with my summer camp and they were all going on the ride. I think I was about ten or eleven years old at the time and it was the biggest ride I had ever even considered riding. The counselors were reassuring me that it would be over in two seconds and I would love it and things like that. Meanwhile my stomach was making nervous jolts all while I was waiting to board the ride and my impending doom.
In the end, I liked it except for the drops, but then they hauled me onto the biggest, fastest ride in the park…Alpengeist! Back then it was still and the newest ride in the park as well. Waiting in that line, it was as if I was still a rollercoaster virgin and the nervous fear came back in full force. But I kept telling myself it would be over soon. Now I run to Alpengeist first thing when I get to the park. I can’t wait for my favorite ride!
