Im Fraz. many of you may know me. many may not. I strive to be awesome, with the help of those around me. This is my first blog, the first of many. This my freinds, is the story of the big one... go!
20 minutes from closing, the fair was virtually empty... black clouds loomed over head, screaming their fury with claps of thunder and bolts of lightening! the queue behind me was short, the line a head, dwindling.... as luck would have it, fate intervened causing me, a humble servant to the lord adrenaline, to be placed at the front of the ride....
A cruel breeze whipped up as we reached 50ft, the tension mounted as we passed 100. a tiny screech of terror seeped out of an unknown lady behind me, foreshadowing the danger ahead of us! thunder rolled and lightening flashed, in unison with our descent. 50, 60 70, finally 80 miles an hour we reached; hurtling down the coaster, our tiny carriages clutching to the tracks tighter then any of its terrified passengers.
Rain whipped our faces, icy and malevolent, it lashed down as we cut though it at break neck speed, scream for dear life as the darkness of our decent broke into the brilliant light of the famous illuminations. the salty sea breeze made our nostrils flare, the cold pressure of the night made our skin itch, but still the ride plummeted on, around tilting corner and down corkscrews until finally, mercifully, it stopped.
We rose from our seats, some kissing the ground, our punching the air, but I, I stood slowly up, feeling a strength coursing through my veins, after a thrill for which I have yearned for, for so long. that ride; that night. it was legendary
