Dragons
Descent

This
summer I went to Fun town with my friend Anna. My sister Marissa and
her boyfriend Chris came along, and my mom brought us. I was so
excited. On the way to Fun town I was saying that I was going to
ride the Excalibur and Dragon's Descent. As we entered Fun town
coming back from Splash town my stomach started feeling like there
were butterflies in them. And plus we ate in splash town before we
came to fun town. The first ride was Dragons Descent. Anna, Marissa
and Chris went on it, I chickened out. I am very surprised Marissa
went on it before I did. When we went to florida she only went on
one roller coaster and I went on a whole bunch! Throughout Fun town
there was a lot of fun rides. As the day was coming to the end Anna,
Marissa and Chris went to ride Dragons Descent again. Anna was
begging me to come on the ride.

I
was scared out of my mind. While Anna was begging me I said to myself
“hey its just a ride tons of people have been on it before and
they survived, I think I will survive too”. So that made me go
on it and Anna begging me and getting me to concur my fear, but I was
still scared. I was walking towards the line to go ride the Dragons
Descent and I was staring at it the whole time, that made me shake.
All the sudden we were walking into the part that we get into our
seats. I felt the need to walk back to the side but I didn't I just
kept on walking. As we were going to the top of the part of the ride
i was shaking and saying “I don't want to do this, I don't
wanna do this”. Anna was laughing at me the whole time, but I
didn't mind it was my first time riding something so high like that.
Dragons Descent it higher the Excalibur and Excalibur is pretty high,
it has a giant drop. All that the Dragons Descent did was you go up
this pole and you go way up to the top, and you stay there and you
never know when your gonna drop and then WHOOSH!!! your going down
screaming on the top of your lungs. Me and Anna were really high on
the ride and I asked her if we were at the top yet and she said we
weren't even half way! I said “Oh great”. As we were
still going up the ride I was thinking of what could go wrong like
something got stuck or the whole thing tipping over from the wind
because I could feel wind blowing. Once we came to a stop I could
see the tops of the trees and I could see pretty much the whole
park! It was beautiful, even though I was freaked out. I was so
scared I started talking to myself and then I started singing. I was
saying “la la la la la”. Then all the sudden on my last
la it was terrifying to me anyway, and Anna was laughing at me the
whole time down the ride! As we were dropping I saw a flash from
down below it was my mom flashing a picture of me with my mouth wide
open. We were dropped down I thought we were gonna die. But then we
go up and then back down until we came to a complete stop.

Twelve
people were getting off Dragons Descent counting Anna and me. Anna
was out of the ride before I was, because Anna was helping me get out
of my seat buckle and everybody else was ready out of there seats so
they could just leave. Anna and I were the only ones left in the
gates of the ride, but I was still buckled in my seat. I said “Anna!
get me out of this thing it wont unbuckle!” I was worried
sick. The seats are purple and there's a bar that went down over my
shoulder and snapped down on a clutch thats by your belly button.
Anna ended up unbuckling it for me. The reason why I couldn't
unbuckle it was because I didn't pull the lever hard enough because
it felt like it was going to break. But then Anna pulled it harder,
but it didn't end up breaking. I thank her for getting me out of the
seat buckle. Then I told her I wanted to get out of the buckle so I
didn't have to ride it again. Even though I wanted to ride it again
because I thought the ride was fun. We got ice cream before we left
and I was thinking about riding that ride again.

I
wanted to ride Dragons Descent again but we had to get going it was
almost dark out. Dragons Descent is now my favorite ride at Fun
Town. Throughout the whole ride I was worried, scared, and I had
butterflies in my stomach the whole entire time! Dragons Descent is
a thrill ride, and it made the whole time priceless. But I thought
it was worth it riding on it and if Anna wasn't there to drag me into
it then I wouldn't be writing about it right now. After riding the
Dragon's Descent I felt that I could ride it 100 more times! I had a
lot of fun riding it.
