It starts out at a stand-still as you get yourself situated, with a little help from people who have been around the roller coaster for a lot longer than you. Then you start going forward; a little bit hesitant and shaky as you leave the station. Next, you start climbing up and up and up. You begin to wonder whether or not it’s worth all that climbing. Eventually you reach the top and as you begin to see over the edge you think to yourself, “That doesn’t look so bad. I can’t imagine what all the hype is about.”
Then you go over and start screaming for your life. From there it’s more ups and downs, some wild corners and you even get turned completely upside down a few times. Soon you start to think, “Oh God, when will this end?!” I can’t take much more! I should have gone on the nice, slow, quiet tea-cup ride instead.”
Finally, though, you get to the end and you’re right back where you started. At which point you think, “Gee, I wish that had lasted longer and I wish I had thrown my hands up in the air a few more times.”
