I was in the cage of the ride. My heart was thumping. I could taste my own fear, it tasted like sweat and immediately after I could taste then metal bars from the smell. I was licking and biting my lips because I was nervous and was feeling so many emotions. Just at that moment it started moving around and around and upside down. I was screaming like never before. I could hear the jets whining like aeroplane jets but a little softer. I could see the whole theme park in front of me. It was the most scary and fun experience i ever had.
