We arrived at Stratford station about five passed eight in the morning. The time came for the coaches to arrive but before we could get to where the coaches were, we had to take a two minute walk across the school field. We lined up like birds waiting to be fed by their mother and one by one, we boarded the coach. The coach had comfortable seats which were essential for the long journey ahead. We finally departed for Chessington, World of Adventures. The view through the window was astonishing and it was as if it had been painted by Leonardo DaVinci. It seemed to me as though I have been in the coach for ages due to the seemingly endless journey. Finally, we arrived at Chessington. What a relief that was.
We got down from the coach and marched to the entrance like soldiers preparing for war. Our tickets were purchased and soon we were all inside the park. I was amazed instantly by what I saw. The park is a beauty on it’s own. It is nicely and neatly landscaped but it is quite small and does not have many rides. The good thing about it is that, there are plenty of attractions for kids and families. Aside from the roller coasters, there were two flat rides, including the impressively themed Dragon fury and my favourite attraction at the park, Tomb blaster, which is an interaction ride where you shoot a laser gun at snakes and monsters. The west of the park is home to trials of the kings, a walkthrough attraction which is home to gorillas, tigers, lions and leopards. Just outside the bird and monkey garden is the new children’s zoo, home to goats, pigs, sheep and chickens. The staffs at chessington were very friendly and polite.
The first ride I went on was called pirates treasure and it looked smaller than the other rides at the park. It gave me the feeling of being a pirate on the sea and this made me feel relaxed and at peace with myself. It was thrilling. The next ride I got onto was quite similar to the London eye but, a bit smaller and less fun. It was very slow and boring so I did not enjoy being on it. I couldn’t wait to get off it. Thankfully, I got the chance to visit where the roller coasters were and soon it was my turn to be entertained. When I first got onto it, I felt bit scared because of hearing people scream as rollercoaster twisted and turned them but soon, the fear had been replaced by anxiety. Even though the ride was not as long as I expected it to be, I was devoured by excitement. When it was thirty minutes passed twelve, I and my brothers went to KFC which was located at the centre of the park and bought ourselves the family bucket meal. I ate most of it. After the meal, I sat down for a while to allow the food to digest before moving on to the next ride. The water ride was exuberant. The boat in which we sat, went up a hill and then descended with a dramatic speed down the slope. As the boat hit the water, it splashed onto me but it was fun. Later when we came out the boat, I looked drenched but full of smiles.
Sadly, it was time to head back home so we made our way back to the coach looking like conquered soldiers returning from war. I got into the coach reluctantly and off we went. I am very lucky and happy to have had such an experience. It was a life experience and I will never forget it.
