Sky scream

Excerpts from some students writing today ...

I see the haunting sign. It can’t be that bad. I buy a ticket and enter through the dark doorway.

I hear the first scream. My hands start sweating. The entry is packed with people who are sweating. The disgusting smell reaches my nose. It is my turn next. I want to curl up in a little ball. I’m panting.

I huffed and puffed as I walked up the steps to the worlds scariest roller coaster “Sky Scream”.

My hands are shaking, my legs are wobbling and my blood is completely frozen. Every step I take feels like I am walking into a graveyard and now it is time …

BunSan

I’m getting in the cart. They put down the safety belt. I’m trapped. I feel the cart start to move. I regret agreeing to do this. I hear the cart scratching against the tracks as we go up. Suddenly we drop back down. My hair is in my face so I cannot see. We’re going backwards. We’re going to crash!

Molly

I clutched the bar as hard as I could. My hands were slippery from my sweat. I squeezed my eyes shut. I could taste the mint in my mouth. Sweet and fresh. But that did not help. My hair was flying in all directions. My stomach was churning. I felt my head for blood. The tracks are rocky. I could feel myself moving from side to side. I jerked backwards. We are going backwards! I wish I had stayed at home.

Lyka

That’s when we sped up. I couldn’t speak. It was like I was in heaven until we went upside down and I almost passed out. It was so scary. I felt like I was going to fall down.

Bunleng

I was frozen. I couldn’t move. I couldn’t even squeak. I felt like I was going to faint. My hair got messy. My hair covered my face. I saw the person next to me had a pale face. My mouth was dry. We turned upside down and I felt super dizzy. I yelled!

HeeJoo

I was kind of calm when it came to a stop but then it started again. I felt not good. I felt dizzy and my hands and legs were shaking. I screamed very loud. I thought I was going to barf. I had a bad taste in my mouth. The wind blew my hair backwards and I kept screaming.

Panhaboth

A lump formed in my throat. The rollercoaster raced back down. BACKWARDS! I felt like my stomach was going to explode. I think I left my guts behind. We raced up again and then turned upside down. I swear I am going to fall to the ground. I am holding on for dear life. My knuckles are white and my palms are sweaty. I can taste the popcorn I had earlier but now it is bitter. My hair is in my face. I hear screams and realize they are mine.
