Spectator Sport: Amazing Rides



I got this here
              The place was huge and crowded. Excitement were everywhere. There were voices all over the place. I could hear people laughing, screaming, shouting, as well as crying. We all know Dream World is a place where everyone goes to enjoy themselves and have fun. And since that day was the national holiday, there was absolutely no place for people to walk. I was scared. Everyone was scared of getting lost. To elucidate, anyone can go missing in a matter of seconds. All of the mothers and aegis were holding their children’s hand so tight while group of friends were stick together like a glue. There were no empty spaces for us to sit.  Bleachers, a bench or place for people to sit were either taken or reserved. People usually put their jacket and glasses on the bench to reserve a place. They would even leave their children on the bench so nobody would come and snatch away their place. The machines of the ride were continuously operating without a pause. The line for each ride was becoming longer and longer while me and my friends were scared that our trip to this amusement park would be useless and we will have leave this place and head back home with a disappointment of not getting to play anything.

I got this here
                People were everywhere. The place was filled up like a stadium of Olympics in London where there was neither a restaurant nor a coffee shop to go sit and relax inside or find something to eat.  There was no place to sit.The restaurants seemed indigent due to the lack of seats. All the seats were taken and of course the restaurants were all occupied by the customers as in people. Everyone was starving. My stomach began to rumble and I wondered if I should leave the long line and go grab some chips in my bag. But I know once I leave the line, it will take hours to get to the place I’m standing right now. While standing in the line, doing nothing, I heard a conversation where a mother was forcing her son to go on rides since the son was scared. “Don’t be such a scary cat; you should try, at least just try for the sake of trying and not sitting here with a sad face or a crying face.” However, the mother failed to imbued her son.
                I was finally extricated from the long line and here I am on the roller coaster, right on the top middle, experiencing a great view. The feeling of going up was just awesome and the sudden drop down was even more exciting. I love going on rides especially the adventurous ones, so does my friends! And again we could see people on the rides crying, shouting, laughing, and screaming with joy and excitement.
