My Scariest Carnival Ride

I’m not much for carnival rides these days. I used to be a real daredevil and loved them all but these days I’m happy to watch everyone else.

I think the reason was because of a ride on the Spider. Do you remember that one?

Something didn’t seem right about it from the moment we got going. It seemed to be going faster than it should. It also seemed to be rocking a bit more than usual.

I barely survived it.

It was only when I got off the ride that another buddy of mine who had been standing by the ride operator told me what happened.

He said the regular ride operator went for a break and left someone new in charge.

The young guy had the motor opened up to full.

He said the regular guy came running back yelling, “What are you doing!!! Turn it down!”

And that was the last ride I took

What was your scariest ride?
