You are at some amusement park or carnival or fair or any event that has rides. And it is not just any rides, but those rides that make you say, "Nope! No way I'm getting on that!" And somehow your friend or anyone you are with convinced you to get on that intimidating amusement ride with them. Or, you may also want the adrenaline rush and for a second forget your fears. Or you are trying to prove you're not afraid. Either way, here are your thoughts before, during, and after going on an amusement ride. Because we have all been there at one point! (Unless of course, you are an adrenaline junkie and love these types of rides.)
1. "I've got this!"
It doesn't look that bad. I think I can handle it. Yeah, let's get on that ride!
2. Almost through the line
We are getting pretty close. It's really happening. . .I can hear their screams. . .Uuuuuhhhhhhhh, I don't think I want to do this anymore.
3. Can people die in rides?
I'm going on this ride. It can't be that bad. Nobody has died in an amusement ride, right? Right?
4. "Did I put my seat belt wrong?"
What if I put it on wrong? I think I put in on wrong! Does the attendant know? They will tell me something, right? RIGHT?! WHY HAVEN'T THEY CHECKED MINE YET? DON'T START THE RIDE!
5. "This will be so much fun!"
My seat belt is on right. Okay, I won't die. I'm ready! Everyone else is excited. This will be so much fun! I can do this!
6. "Wait, I take it back!"
I'm not ready! Take this seat belt off me! Stop the ride!
7. "I TAKE IT BACK! I WANT OUT!"
STOP! GET ME OUT OF THIS RIDE! (SCREAMING BEGINS)
8. I regret this!
WHY DID I LISTEN TO (INSERT NAME HERE)? I HATE RIDES! (SCREAMING CONTINUES)
9. This is it!
THIS IS IT! THIS IS HOW IT ENDS! I'LL DIE IN THIS RIDE! (SCREAMING STILL CONTINUES)
10. It's over!
Phew! I'm glad it's over! That wasn't that bad! I'm ready to get out.
11. Wait, is it going again!
I CAN'T DO THIS AGAIN! I SAID I WANT OUT! STOP! STOP! NOOOOO!
12. Too scared to scream anymore
13. It's over, again!
Is it really over?! Please be really over! I have to get out!
14. "It wasn't that bad."
Why was I scared in the first place? It wasn't that bad! I can do anything now!
15. Then everyone suggests to go on another ride
NOOOOOOOOO!
And of course, if you are an adrenaline junkie and love amusement rides this might be you the whole time.
16. WOOOOOOO!
WOOOOO! PUT YOUR ARMS UP! IT MAKES IT MORE FUN!
But remember this next time you go on an amusement ride and are scared: most of us have been through that too. . . and check that you put your seat belt on right!
