  So, finally, we got to the front of the line. It was an inspirational moment for me. The greatest time of my life. I felt like singing Hallelujah. Well, not really, but you get the point.  

  So we waited a while for the coaster cart thingy to come, then we got in the back cart-ish thingy. After we went through the usual security procedures,......nothing happened. What a surprise!

  So I said(be amazed at my ingenuity) :"Nothing hap-" 

  My words were very rudely cut off by the sudden, extreme acceleration of the cart. I would have complained but I was too busy being scared(Yes, I'm not exactly the bravest guy in the world. Or the second.... or the millionth.... Or the billionth. Or the third-to-last-bravest. Or the....Well, you get the point). Anyway, we went through an extremely and possibly fatal patterns of highs and lows, dips and whorls , spins, and et cetera, often spinning 360 degrees and, well, stuff. Finally, we got to the climax of the ride. We were at least 100 miles in mid-air(well, not really,  but that's what it feels like. Yes, I'm scared easily. I thought we already established that fact). 

  I feel scared. I feel frightened. I feel excited. More, I was exhilarated. My breath was coming fast.My heart was beating haphazardly I was smiling in a manner more commonly enjoyed by extreme race car drivers, surfers riding the high waves, people, er, enjoying themselves with members of the opposite gender and Islamic extremists carrying loaded explosives in their backpacks and driving in a way that suggests they have a somewhat odd idea of pleasure.* My ears were ringing. I heard a ringtone faintly in the distance.

  Wait a second, a ringtone? That doesn't make sense. Besides, I don't even like Avril. After a few seconds of careful consideration and use of my phenomenal brain, I decided that the ringtone was caused by the cell-phone of the lady three seats in front of me. This was deduced by her taking out her phone and saying, 
"Hello!!"
It was followed up by a conversation
"Hi **********(name censored to protect writer from lawsuit)"
"No, that's okay......Yeah, sure.Of course I'm not busy....What??Really?...She did?...I told her not too.....Yeah....Uh-huh...Sure...Of course I'll come..."

She kept talking before, after and during the plummet. For some strange and unknown reason, that ruined the moment for us. A little. 


After we got out, we had to go home because the park was closing down. 


Conclusion:
Money spent:$110
Time Spent in the lines: over 5 hours
Time on the ride: all of 2 minutes.



*So maybe I'll never be Stephen King. Big deal.
