Growing up, I was deeply afraid of roller coasters. My dad always use to push me and my sister on them and we both would throw fits. Through, I was always fascinated by them. All I wanted to do when I was young was to go to amusement parks and look at all of the roller coasters. Not ride them, just look at them. I always found them interesting by the way they move and their architecture. I would just stand there and stare at them for hours. After I started to get older, and was able to start bringing friends along, I started to lose my fears ever so slowly. By the age of 10, my dad started to let me be more independent while at theme parks. Me and my friends would ride different rides, and I started to leave my comfort zone when it came to coasters. It wasn't until my 8th grade end of the year field trip to Six Flags Great America when my fear of roller coasters finally went away. Something clicked in me when I was riding one of the coasters. I swear to god I rode it at least 6 times in a row. From that day on, I was hooked. Every time I would go back to Six Flags, the more and more I would fall in love with them. As of last summer, a friend of mine took me to Cedar Point for the first time. That's where I came to the conclusion that I was a roller coaster enthusiast. Lately, I've been watching POVs on YouTube and stumbled across Theme Park Reviews. I absolutely adore their footage of coasters, so I decided to check out their site. This is where I found a community of people that share the same interest as me. I just had to sign up! So now I'm here, hoping on day I can travel the world and visit different amusement parks like the people on here do.
