Today we went to Movie World.
(I think the title pretty much makes the point of this post clear.)
Anyway...ROLLER COASTERS!
WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
The first roller coaster I remember riding when I was a kid was Sunway's Runaway Train at the tender age of 7.
I don't remember being terrified, but I never rode a roller coaster again since then.
It took me 2 visits to Times Square's Cosmo's World to even work up the guts to sit the roller coaster there.
-_-
I'm not exactly a thrillseeker, as you can see.
The first time I sat that, I sat it with my eyes tightly shut - not that I could see anything with them open anyway; I had no contacts back then - and my hands clutching the handle and my friend's hand respectively.
Never uttered a sound throughout the whole experience.
It was a terrifying couple of minutes that filled my ears with the screams of strangers and occasional whirls of colours as I dared a squint every now and then.
Oh, how I have progressed!
Today was AWESOME!
Rode the 6 main coasters of Movie World by 4pm, when it started to rain. Talk about good timing!
I felt a bit uncomfortable when I saw the Superman coaster - a near vertical forward drop at roughly a hundred meters above the ground. Furthermore, it propels you from 0 to a hundred km per hour in a mere 2 seconds.
But I was determined to not chicken out and sit EVERY major coaster thez had a movie world.
I think Disneyland nearly ridded me of my roller-coaster phobia completely. The whole place was so happy and fantasy-like that you COULDN'T get scared if you wanted to - and the riders weren't very extreme anyway.
So yea, I went for the Superman ride, screamed, laughed, survived and bought a T-shirt to boot.
Yay.
Felt so GOOD and INVINCIBLE after that.
AHAHHA. Solame.
But I wasn't scared at ALL during the ride. It was just FUNFUNFUN!
I took me a while to work up the nerve to ride Lethal Weapon.
That shit LOOKED so intimidating - like an enormous grey skeleton twisting into the sky.
Wowo.
Furthermore, the ride leaves your legs dangling and you spend half of it twisting and turning and generally being in a topsy-turvy state.
If you know well enough, you'd know that I don't like:
1. Heights
2. Emptiness below my feet
3. Being upside down
So I found it GREAT that I wasn't scared at ALL!
I walked away slightly disoriented but otherwise unaffected (my head got banged up pretty good during those midair twists.)
But perhaps I have to thank the guy behind me.
He made me laugh throughout the ENTIRE RIDE.
Dude was wailing and screaming like a baby terrified for his life.
AHAHAH!
AHHH! AHHH! AHHHHHHHHHH! AH AH AH AH AHHHH!
Walaowei. I was screaming initially but I soon dissolved into laughter and laughed my way through the ride. -_-
Amazing.
I am now ready for more extreme rides!
YEAAA Bring it on! Ö
