emotional rollercoaster

My emotions are different with different rides, but the one emotion that will never change is the fear of the rides breaking. For example: I am scared to go on the Zipper or the Ring of Fire.
For the zipper, I think it’s just cause I am so small that I get tossed around a lot in the zipper, and I just feel really insecure. First off I’m scared of heights and secondly I just feel the doors aren’t secure enough, so I feel like the doors are going to pop open as we are spinning around in the carts. My first time ever going on the zipper was when I went with a really good friend in elementary school; I think it was about in 5th grade. We went on the zipper and it was just a really bad experience, but the guy that was running the ride was really nice and stopped the ride to check if we were ok and he let us off because we didn’t want to be on the ride anymore, and ever since I just have had a bad fear because of that experience.
Going off topic for a minute, when I was about 13 I went to lagoon and, I went on a lot of the rides there, but there was a ride there and it was like the zipper, I can’t really remember what the name was but it was so close to the zipper and my step sister wanted me to go on it, but since it was similar to the zipper I told her no. After a while I just went on it, it was really weird because it WAS like the zipper but, I just felt more secure in it and it was much more fun! But when I got to the carnival, I will never go on the zipper. Every year I always tell myself that I’m not going to chicken out and just go on the zipper, but like always every year, I see the zipper and chicken out. I hate that about myself.
Another ride is the Ring of fire, I mainly hate that one because if the height. When I go to the carnival I always look for ward to the orbiter, and the graviton. There is one more ride I can not remember what its called but it is the greatest ride. Its weird because it does kind of get high and it goes upside down, but it is just the best thing.
Well there is another one, its not exactly a ride, but I hate going in it. It would be the House of mirrors. I can never find my way through those things unless I am with a friend, but why would anyone go the carnival alone? I think that would be lame, NOBODY ever goes alone. But anyways, like I said I never go in it unless my friend wants to. The best way I get out of the thing is either sliding my had against the mirror or holding onto the back of my friends shirt; best method.
I am going to talk about one more ride that I have a great fear for. That would be the Farris Wheel. That is the ride that I will never go on, I have gone on it maybe 2 times in my life, but that would be about it. All because of the height and just the way it is set up. Another reason I hate it, is because it is the slowest and the most boring thing ever made. I don’t even know why people would want to go on that ride, for the joy of it, that’s lame. But anyways that would be my emotions on the rides.
