The Roller Coaster Ride

It was the best and worst of roller coaster rides...

Corkscrew!

I was waiting in line filled with anticipation!

Stimulating!

I was locked in wanting to get out, wishing I never got in line for this ride!

Trapped!

Chugging up slowly, a view of the park! Paused at the peak about to go down!

Thrilling!

Ahhh, help the big drop!

Terrified!

No, no we're going upside down!

Scared!

The Corkscrew, the fastest ride I have been on!

Impressed!

The ride is over, let's do it again!

Relieved!

It was the best and worst of roller coaster rides!
