How I did it: Rode by myself though. It was pretty relaxing, actually. Got a good view of the carnival, while waiting for a few friends to finish on their own ride. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I went to Alton Towers with my first love. It was halloween and so the rides weren't closing until about 9. And because I was young and stupid, I wanted to impress him. I didn't want him thinking I was no fun. So the first ride he took me on was Oblivion. Which most people say is the scariest at Alton Towers. And it was! But it made all the other rides seem easy. So I ended up going on all the rides making me look super duper fun (haha). Read how I did it…

How I did it: In order to do this I needed to realize that I only get one lifetime and that I have put this off for 28 years, and it was time to do it. Not only did I ride a rollercoaster, but several. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I cursed through the whole thing and wished it was over. It's completely overrated. I guess I'm not one of those people who enjoys it. Oh well, one less thing to worry about. Read how I did it…

Also a thing I want to do for a long time. I really want to ride an old timber one, but we don’t have them here, so I take what is there I guess.
it sounds quite simple, just go to one and ride. But I do hate noise and crowds and especially amusement parks. I’ve only been to one my entire live and that was when I was five. Way to young to ride a roller coaster offcourse, so instead I rode a donkey.
I rode a rollercoaster once, when I was about 8 years old, and I’ve never been able to since. I want to again. I’m such a wuss as I get older!
I have a terrible fear of heights. But I’m addicted to adrenaline rushes. And it looks like fun. I want to finally say, “Yeah. Rollercoaster. Done it. whoohoo!”

I’ve always been really keen to get on a rollercoaster but the only times I’ve had the chance to I’ve been a little too young for my parents to agree to it. Now I’m the only person stopping me from doing it so why not get out there and get it done.

As a kid they made me ill just thinking about them. I’d like to give it a go now.
It wasn’t my first time riding a roller coaster ..but it sure felt like it. I think my first experience on a roller coaster was 4 years or so ago at Silver Doller City. My dad and niece (who was probably like freaking 10 at the time) conned me into doing it. “It’ll be fun” they said. Well, they lied. So, it doesn’t even matter anymore that it was a small roller coaster and that I was probably holding on for dear life. ..It scared me. I decided from that moment on, I hated them and was never getting on one again.
Except ..I changed my mind.
This summer I went to Worlds of Fun along with some of my family and my boyfriend. I was determined to ride at least one coaster. My niece, who’s 5 years younger than I am, loves them. Her favorite one at this specific amusement park just so happens to be The Mamba; one of the tallest, longest and fastest roller coasters in the world. The very first ride we ended up going on was a coaster called The Timber Wolf. Seriously, I think I about wet my pants just standing in line for that one. After it was over though, I felt amazing. My boyfriend, who’s afraid of heights, rode The Timber Wolf too. I thought he’d be freaking out the whole time but actually, he was laughing. (Yes, you heard me right. Not screaming, laughing!) Eventually, I did ride The Mamba. It was so thrilling. I even did the little thing were I threw my hands in the air. As cheesy as it was, I was extremely proud of myself. I’d overcame (and enjoyed) one of my fears. :]
I know, I know. I should have already at my age. But I haven’t, hence being on my list.
