Roller Coaster ---- Runaway Mine Ears

“Where am I? Where are my friends? ” I asked after buying a cool drink from a food stall. I heard many people screamed at the same time due to fear. Meanwhile, there was a death train passing through under the bridge in an extremely high speed.
I am in the Grizzly Gulch in Hong Kong Disneyland and my friends are on the Runaway Mine Ears which is the new roller coaster. I was as usual standing near the balustrade to be an outsider because I am afraid of death train. I thought my heart would cave in if I travelled by this horrible train.

There was a part of outdoor railway. Near the railway, there were the rocks in light brown and fountains were set between the rocks. When the train passed through the bridge where I was standing, my ears nearly got hurt. The screaming sound liked the explosion of the bombs.

‘Let’s play together!’ suddenly someone gripped my hand and run into the entrance of Runaway Mine Ears. My brain seems to be out of control. I just followed my friend to walk along the long corridor. There were some cases which were a bear shouting and a working office and some notices about working in a mining area along the corridor.

The next thing I could remember was that I was stepping into the roller coaster. The roller coaster is a chain of mine cars in brown. At the first car of the roller coaster, there was a picture which has a cartoon bear with a big smile on it to represent Grizzly Gulch. That bear was looking and laughing at me. When I seated on the Runaway mine Ears, I felt as if my heart was going to jump out from my body and I thought my face look pale. The brown and thick safety belt was pushed down. My hands were too short that I could not grab the handle setting behind the precious seat. I grabbed the safety belt tightly and my hands turn white. ‘Hope you enjoy the adventure!’ the roller coaster started moving. My first adventure on a roller coaster started.

The Runaway Mine Ears started at a gentle speed. First, it turned a corner at a low speed. My tears were full in my eyes at this corner and I close my eyes. Then, the speed began to be faster and faster. When I felt the roller coaster went up to the top of the small mountain slowly with the cracking sounds of the car. I opened my eyes and saw there were some wooden boxes and some bears were mining. Suddenly, the train went back at a very high speed. I screamed out loud but with a smile on my face. The train became a leopard hunting for preys. The hungry leopard wanted to throw me out of the train but I tried to loosen my hands on the handle and put up my hand into the air. The wind slapped my face and hands harshly but fantastic. The heavy stones in my mind were moved out by the strong speed. I come into the dark tunnels and stopped. There was a bear pushed the boxes and counted down from ten. The roller coaster runs again in an extremely high speed. It came to the outdoor part where I saw before. However, the views were different. The sky was more beautiful and the water from the fountains became diamond in the sunshine. I became a flying bird. The roller coaster finally back to the station.

When I took off from the Runaway Mine Ears, I get goose bumps all over; the hairs were disorder, walking like the drunks and with a crazy smile. I looked at the other passengers faces, their face were full with smiles and excitement. Then, I gripped my friend’s hand and run to the Runaway Mine Ears entrance again.
