"I like roller coasters" I always uttered every time people asked me if I like amusement park (yuuenchi 遊園地). Thinking that Nagashima will be crowded during Golden Week vacation we decided to visit the park before the holiday comes. Still far from the place, at the highway, the view at Nagashima can be seen because of its famous Steel Dragon 2000, the longest and the 5th tallest roller coaster in the world. Staring at it while walking to the entrance gates gave me fear not to try it. Some of my friends insisted to make it our first ride but some including me beg to disagree, instead we took the go cart which is for kids. Because I was also challenged to ride the Steel Dragon 2000 I go for it. While waiting in line I try to hide my nervousness by laughing at my friend`s joke. At last, we are taking the seat, ready... set... and scream!!!!!!!!! Whewww! frightening but the best ride I ever had so far.
