Me vs Rollercoasters

They freak me out, but I love them. I had no idea what to expect from them though. A school trip to Canada's Wonderland gave me my first crazy experience on them. We went as a science class (random). I was with LG and J-D. Anyways, they knew I'd never been on a rollercoaster before. J-D told me he remembered an easy no-loop one that we could start with. We jumped in line, but you couldn't see the coaster at all. It starts going. All of a sudden, J-D swears beside me. He didn't swear often. Struck now with fear, I slowly turned to look at him. He had this super serious grave look on his face (which in itself was scary, he wasn't a really serious guy). All he could say was "I'm so sorry. You should close your eyes". I think the way he delivered that line was scarier than the coaster itself. Close my eyes! No way! I need to see what's happening! I screamed. A lot. It was so much fun though.

Next, we took on them all. We left 'The Bat' until the end though. It's definitely the scariest one I've been on - I didn't handle going backwards that well. I started freaking out in line. The ride is right overhead, and wow, that certainly adds a lot to the fear build-up. I just kept saying "Guys, I'm gonna scream. I'm gonna scream the whole time. I don't know if I can do this one". LG said I'd be fine. I didn't believe her. The other people, total strangers, in line - before us and behind also chimed in. They all just kept saying "You won't scream the whole time. It'll be fun!" - silly expert riders, who'd been on 'The Bat' tons. I screamed the whole time. Actually, I girly shrieked the whole time. Non-stop. I had no idea I had such great lung capacity. I do now. The best part was the people around me. On every other ride I'd screamed, but also just said - "I'm gonna die. I'm gonna die". 'The Bat' was different. I said that when it started and then had no words at all. I was the ONLY PERSON on the whole, JAM-PACKED ride who was screaming. Everyone else: LAUGHING at my terror. For serious. Apparently I serve an entertainment purpose. Fun times though!
