There was no queue, since the sun was boiling hot and kids in Germany still had school, my brother, me and some other, lonely people were the only ones to have this kind of an experience. As I stepped into the small cart, I felt how I was getting hyper and how the excitement was building up in me. When the cart finally started and slowly increased its speed I finally didn't have the chance to get out anymore and I started to enjoy the whole thing. Then, "Woooosh!" I was racing up and down on steep roller coaster track. "Ahhhh" I screamed as we gracefully glided down one of the steeper tracks, with hair sticking and flying in my face. I felt some sweat on my forehead and I wiped it with a short flick of my hand away. Then I realized that it was just like flying, with the creepy prickling in my stomach and the soft rustling sound of my hair in the coaster wind. I thought the cart I was in was a furious dragon who wanted to fight his enemy as fast as he could. He was rushing toward him. It freaked me out, but I still went again, and again. The fact that you are scared, makes you want to do it over and over again. It it addicting. My head was spinning by now, and i felt sick, I got out, watching my brother go again. It still was an overwhelming fabulous experience!

I really liked your use of metaphors especially the one where you compared the roller coaster to the dragon. It really helps visualize the roller coaster- not just the way the ride felt but also the colors and the overall feel of it. And the way you described the feeling of going down those dips on a roller coaster as "the creepy, prickly feeling in my stomach" is really accurate and concise. Nice job :D
it was good in the beginning when you described weather, it is sort of like a setting. also you described yourself which made me able to really imagine how you felt before and the thing i liked the most for the describing was when you described you when you were in the moving roller coaster, especially you compared the cart as a dragon.
