cedar point amusement park sandusky ohio
"america's roller coast"
when they start buildin em THIS big THERES A LIMIT
"top thrill dragster" tallest biggest fastest rollercoaster ANYWHERE
*what am i doin ive changed my mind i dont wanna ride*
my friend says "gotta face your fear you only live once"
*yeah and if i ride this theres a good chance ill die*

faster than a cheetah with its rump on fire
SLAMMED to the seat centrifical force my a** GLUED to the seat cant scream
*ohcrudohdang im gonna diiiiiiiiie*

*warnin warnin YOU IDIOT*

*were breakin the speed limit sure would hate to pay the fine on this un*
nervous laughter til i see the hill

420 feet up

*lookit that little ride down there*
"that aint no little ride" my friend says
"thats the 310 foot high millennium force youre lookin at"
*thats somethin i didnt wanna knoooooowwwwwwww*

*we passed WAY too close to those support columns* duckin my head like an idiot
*hey this aint so bad* as i put my hands in the air
still fallin fallin
nervous laughter as we level off
and smmmooottthhhhly enter the brake run and coast to a gentle stop
*hey i made im alive lets ride this thing again*

Dear Karla....this was a wonderfully descriptive piece, thank you for taking me along for the ride. I personally have motion sickness....so i can't get on these things....or there will be a big mess on everyone around me....lol. This is a great way to allow people like me to enjoy it from a distance tho.....thanks hunny.
hehehehehe! Oh, do I remember Cedar Point! Love the place! Now, as to rollercoasters....the one and only I have ever been on is the Corkscrew...a man has to know his limitations!
This poem has the feel of that ride...while I will not get on a rollercoaster again, I will be back to read this piece again. Good job!

I remember Cedar Point very well. Will be going there in September. I will think of you and Karen while I am there. Too old for roller coasters though. [smiles] Not really, but I have vertigo.
