This is the first weekend since I came to the VCU and it's also an amazing weekend, I think.
The first station, Busch Garden Europe which is located in the Williamsburg, VA and about one hour drive from VCU. Before we enter the parking of the Busch Garden, a purple roller coaster attracted us and everybody on the bus couldn't help exclaiming at same time. Because Busch Garden is famouse of the roller coaster, we, almost everyone decided to have a try.
Frankly, when I saw the roller coaster, I was just scared. Because at my age of 14, in Shanghai, we went to a theme park and played some items, though it was not like the roller coaster but similar, I felt sick after I got off the them. Since that time, I never dare to try it.
I am afraid of dropping down directly from the top of the roller coaster and I don't like the feeling that my heart is suspended in the air. So at first, I was hesitated that whether I would go to play it.
But it is so famous and a lot of people recommended it to me and persuade me into playing it. So I made myself to be calm and went to the first roller coast, which is the nearest to the entry, the yellow one. In our mind, it was the warm-up. However, after we play another two, we thought, in fact, this was the most terrible one.
I just felt my heart was jumping quickly and at first time I couldn't open my eyes to see the process. What only I could do was screaming all the time. But after I played the yellow one, I thought I fell in love with the roller coaster. Then I went ahead to the white one. It was twisted from the beginning to the end and nothing special.
The last one, which is the tallest roller coast in the world ,setted amid a French village. Its name is Griffon. It carries riders up 205 feet, then hurtles them 90 degrees straight down at 70 mph. And that’s just the beginning.
Griffon evokes the power and speed of a mythical bird that is part eagle and part lion. It plunges, twists and turns – giving riders an adrenaline-pumping adventure that’s unlike any coaster experience in the world.
When I went off it, I still couldn't believe that I had been on it and attempted what an exciting experience.
I was really satisfied my performance in the Busch Garden. I thought I was so brave, haha~
Now, I am still pondering over it and dreaming that I can play it again one day.
