2007/10/11 Roller CoasterI went to Happy Vally, the biggest theme park in Beijing, the other day. There I tried the craziest inverted roller coaster I've ever seen. It's callled Golden Wings in Snowfield, has 87' tall loops, 75'2'' tall 360 degree Cobra roll, and 55' tall Zero-G roll, so at the same time when the train dives and soars in almost vertical loops, it also twists 360 degrees around the track.
Even looked at it twisting up there, my palms got all sweaty and my legs felt like jelly, but with the thought "everybody gets off safely, so will I, if I tried this, there's nothing else in this park that I dare not to ride", I found myself already in the long waiting line. Lasted less than 1 minitue, but it was really wild and exciting. I didn't open my eyes, but clearly heard my racing heart jumping out of my chest when the car was reaching the top of the loop, and felt light flashed through when I was twisted 360 degrees. Half an hour after the ride, I still couldn't stop smiling, so did my friends.
That was an happiness from overcoming a challenge that used to terrified you so much that you dare not even to take a look, a happiness of initiatively turning yourself from a coward to a brave. Sometimes life is like riding a roller coaster, so many choices and thoughts, but hard to decide because of the uncertainty to what's next. Before you take the first step, you just hesitate down there, wiping your sweaty palms on pants, taking deep breath, waisting time, once you push yourself into that little car on track, your heartbeat races, you may regret, but what's next maybe unexpected sights and excitement. After that, when you look back, you will smile from the bottom of heart, and can't wait to try something more challenging, just as I did. |
