well when i was 11 i went to camp snoopy with my aunt uncle 3 cousins siblings and parentals.
when i was 11 i was very daring and i hopped on the swings with my two older cousins. the man running the ride was explaining the directions of how the ride worked. if we wanted to get off all the rider who wanted to get off had to do was hold out their left arm with their thumb up in the air. so i started practicing for when the ride began so i wouldnt forget. the ride started to move i was saying to myself "weee" but.... then the ride started to go faster and higher. all of a sudden i could see everyone in camp snoopy i was so scared,but i remembered what the man running the machine said if we wanted to get off. so i held out my thumb and waited but the ride never went down or stopped for me. i was screaming and crying i wanted to get off that ride so badly. so ever since that experience i have never ever went to camp snoopy again.
Oddly enough, this reminds me of my need to back off (on hands and knees) from the high dive in the high school swimming pool MANY years ago. I'm afraid of heights - and I've never been a fan of the Ferris Wheel either. Thanks for sharing this.
ReplyDeleteI find it interesting that the man would even go through the time explaining what to do if you wanted to get off the ride if he wasn't going to perform the duty in the time of need. Thats sad!
