Our life roller coaster

This roller coaster isn't for the faint of heart or elderly. 

You really have to have some GUTS to even wait in line for this ride. 

This isn't just a few ups and downs and fast twists. 

You have to be strapped in extra tight, but know that it's still not 100% secure. 

You start off pretty slow and creep your way to the top...thinking that things are going pretty well so far. 

You feel pretty safe and that it may not be so bad after all...

Then you get to the top and look down. Hmmm. Looks pretty steep.
Your stomach starts doing flips
...and you gulp like a pelican swallowing a fish.

You think to yourself: "I don't know if I can do this!" 

Can't turn back now! 

Better suck it up and hold on tight! 

Here we go! 
(Screaming all the way down)

You're feeling pretty confident after you survived that first plunge. But then you look ahead.

 Oh wow. 

This is REALLY bumpy...and...Oh my gosh! Look at that AHEAD!...what was I thinking!! 

Endless loops.

Upside down; 

sideways; 

overways; 

underways; 

ANYways! 

And then...
 ANOTHER plunge of death! How will we survive? 

Not only does it go almost straight down, 

there is raging water as deep as the sea at the bottom and we have to hold our breath!

 For how long?? 

No one knows.

 Our heads are below the water and we are looking wide-eyed at each other, about ready to BURST! 

We don't know what to do or where to turn. We are strapped in and can't get out. 

We need a miracle. 

That is our roller coaster. I'm ready to get off. 

I never liked roller coasters to begin with. 

(But if I have to, I'll settle with the old, rickety white roller coaster at Lagoon)
