My STORM coaster experience.

We just came back from a holiday in the Gold Coast, Australia.  

I faced my fears and went on my first roller coaster with my Dad!  It was called the Storm Coaster and it was at Sea World. First you float down a stream inside a cave like thing. Next you go into the open and start climbing this huge ramp. This was where I started to feel worried!  As we finished climbing the ramp there was a small drop and I thought gosh, that was OK but wondered what is to come? Then we experienced the thrill of being 30 meters above the ground before we plummeted down a huge drop and speedily climbed up again. It felt like we were flying before we hit the water again. Once we hit the water we slowly floated back and hopped off the ride.

When I was in line for the Storm Coaster I noticed a sign on the top of the roof and it said...

"you will get wet you might get soaked".

It was really exciting and I really liked it.   If you go to Sea World  and have the courage to do the Storm Coaster, I hope you like it too. 

Here's a video of what it was like from you-tube and here's a couple of photos Mum took of us going up the ramp and then Dad screaming his head off as we flew into the dark after the big drop (we are right at the back, I am closest, Dad is beside me)!
