The Haunted Ride

by east-enders1 (student)

It was a Friday morning; I was waiting for this day to come as I was going on the school trip to Thorpe Park. So I got up and I got ready. I first checked outside to see if the weather was good and the weather was good, the sky was bright blue and the sun was shining so bright that it made me want to go to the sea side, I was praying for it to be sunny and it came true. I didn’t want it to be cold and raining, because it just ruins the day and I wanted it to be perfect so I could enjoy myself with my friends and also this was the last time I was going on a trip with my friends and I wanted to remember this day .Then I looked for the right clothes to wear for this beautiful weather. I wanted to wear something that matched so I decided to wear black and red shorts with a red top. I am the kind person who loves wearing the same thing that boys would like to wear. I just love wearing it .It makes me feel comfortable and I hate wearing clothes that are heavy, this makes me feel uncomfortable.

When I finished getting changed I went downstairs and had my breakfast. I usually have one slice of toast with jam because I don’t like eating in the morning. It makes me sick, but I still have to because of my Mum. If I don’t eat breakfast she would give me a one hour lecture about why you should eat breakfast in the morning. After I finished having breakfast I asked my Mum if she could lend me £20 to spend at the trip. She gave it to me, then I said goodbye to her and I went. I looked at the time on my brand new watch that I got for my birthday, I saw that I had only 10 minutes to get to school so I started walking fast because I didn’t want to miss the coach and if I did miss the coach then I would have killed myself because that was the last trip ever! I was really excited I couldn’t wait to go to Thorpe Park because I wanted to go on Saw- the ride. Saw –alive was the most astonishing ride there is in that park and I was so excited to go on it.

I was just in time, as everyone was about to get on the coach. So I went and got on the coach, I sat next to my friend Jasmin. Jasmin and I were talking and talking, we didn’t notice that we were there until the teacher told us. In my mind I was thinking that we had got there quickly but then I realised that I was too busy talking that I hadn’t notice that we were there. I got off the coach and I was so eager to go inside the park. In the park there were lots of people there. I could see some of the rides because they were huge and the people on the rides were screaming really loudly, the whole fun fair was just like being in a zoo. I could smell the candy floss being made. It smelt so nice. We couldn’t go inside the park because we had to wait in the queue and that took so long, I couldn’t wait any longer and I was desperate to go inside, then finally it was our turn to go. When we went in I asked Jasmin, if she wanted to go and have some candy floss and she replied “Yes, we should.” I replied “ok”. So went and brought some candy floss. When I ate it, the candy melted inside my mouth it was like eating an aero chocolate bar, it tasted delicious! When we finished eating I asked Jasmin, “Which ride do you want to go on? She replied “we should go on Colossus.” I replied “Ok”. Then we explored the ride, the ride was large, amazing and most of all it was incredible, it goes upside down and it twists a lot. When the ride finished, we were exhausted because the ride was breathtaking, heart-turning experience! Jasmin and I loved it.

After that we were wondering which ride to go on next, jasmin wanted to go on Stealth so we decided to go on it. The ride was huge; it looked amazing from the outside, when the ride finished we thought it was fantastic ride. We went on many amazing rides. When we finished going on the rides, we decided to have a rest because we were really shattered. I then noticed that there was a new ride there that we hadn’t been on, the ride looked creepy from the outside, it looked like a haunted house but they turned it into a ride where people can discover some scary things inside when they go in. I was so raring to go on the ride. So I asked Jasmin if she wanted to go on the ride. But she replied “No”. Jasmin doesn’t like to go on rides that are scary because it gives her nightmares. I told her that there was nothing to be afraid of and that it was just a ride and nothing is going to happen, it’s not like we were going to die but she said “No”. So I told her to wait outside until the ride finished.

I went and waited at the queue until it was my turn. Then it was my turn to go on, I went and sat on the seat, the ride started moving, I was thrilled. It went somewhere where there was no light, you couldn’t see no light except from the small lights that were lying on the left and right side of the ride and there where on the floor, the lights where different colours for example there was red, blue, yellow and many more. I started getting nervous because I didn’t like being in a place where there was not a lot of lights, I get scared easily. There was a bit of light coming from the front, there were fake people that where popping out when we went forward every minute. The fake people looked so weird, disturbing and it looked like they were going to come alive, if they had done then I would have been frightened but I hoped they didn’t because I would have hated it.

The room was really creepy and haunted, on the floor there was fake blood and there were spider webs and also there were body pieces like hands, legs and other things that were disgusting on the floor. I was getting distressed because of the pieces. I was really terrified, the ride was going really slowly and I just wanted it to go fast so I could get out of there. My heart was beating fast because I was worried that something was going to happen to me, but I prayed that it wouldn’t come true .The ride started to go slower. Then suddenly it started going faster every minute, it went faster and faster. First I thought it was all right because the ride was going fast and it could finish quickly so I could get off in peace .The ride went really high-speed I started getting a bit worried. Suddenly it stopped; I was asking myself why it had stopped! For a few seconds I thought the ride had finished and I got happy but then I realised that I was still in the room, it was so quite as if somebody had died, I was terrified because there wasn’t anyone on the ride but I asked myself if there were people on the ride at the beginning ? Where did they go? I couldn’t see anyone on the ride. I was so frightened. It was so quite, that you could hear some rats running around on the floor. I hate rats so much because I don’t like the way they are and the fact that they can run fast.

After that I started hearing some loud footsteps coming towards me. I was so petrified because the footsteps where coming closer, each minute I got scared because I didn’t have a clue what was going to happen to me and I was wondering where the footsteps where coming from. I looked around to see where they were coming from but I couldn’t see nothing . Then all of a sudden I felt something that was touching me from the back, I was afraid to turn around to see what it was and I prayed that it was nothing. When I turned around I saw someone’s hands on my shoulders it had long claws, I couldn’t see it but I could feel that it was an animal or something, then I stood up and to feel what it was ,it was enormous and it was really hairy and then I touched it, it felt soft and silky . Then suddenly I heard a loud growl noise. There was a reflection of the object on the wall; I looked to see what it was.

When I looked I saw a monster , I screamed so loud that I could hear my own voice .The monster took his hands off me, I quickly got off the ride and I ran so fast, I didn’t even look behind once , but I knew it was following me . I ran fast to the exist, I suddenly tripped over a big rock and I hurt myself. The monster came closer and closer .The closer it got the more scared I got .Then it was really close to me, the monster got ready to hit me with a sword, I closed my eyes tight because I didn’t want to see what the monster was going to do to me and also I screamed at the top of my lungs.

For a minute it was quiet and I then open my eyes to see why nothing had happened to me? But when I opened my eyes I saw that I was laying on my bed and I asked myself if that was just a dream .I was so confused because of the fact that I was in my own room and also that nothing happened to me . Then my Mum came running to my room because she heard me screaming, I was shivering with fear sitting there in bed, shaking and shocked. My mum came and hugged me and she asked me what happened .I told her everything that just happened to me. She told me that it was just a dream and I shouldn’t worry because nothing happened to me and that everything is going to be fine. I wanted to believe her but I couldn’t because I was really afraid. She then told me to get ready because it was the day I was looking forward to and that I was going on the school trip to Thorpe Park, I was still shocked and shivering, I told my Mum that I didn’t want to go because I was scared that the same thing would happen again and I didn’t want that to happen again.
