The One Thing I Really Want to Do

If there’s one thing I’d really want to do, that would be to ride one of those roller coasters with loops that enable you to hang upside down in air. Yes, believe it or not, I have not been able to ride any of these rides whenever we’d visit amusement parks.
Ever since I was young, I’ve always wanted to ride these things. Unfortunately, this idea doesn’t seem as smart as when I imagine it than when I stand in front of the real ride itself. Enchanted Kingdom is one of the venues that support such a feature and sadly I always prefer Anchors Away, a less life-threatening ride, than Space Shuttle. I was probably too much of a chicken those days to even venture out and try something new.
Funny thing is, the one time I really convinced myself to ride a “loop-y” roller coaster the ride was closed. It was about one or two years ago when we went to Hong Kong to sightsee. Ocean Park’s rides were closed because of the rain. Quite unlucky, wasn’t it?
Oh well, I’m looking forward to riding one of those “loop-y” rides sometime in the future. Until then, I’ll just keep on trying to convince myself not to chicken out once in front of the actual roller coaster itself.
