Roller Coaster..

Off late I have restrained myself from using the word roller coaster after I had got subjected to a ride in Vienna, My goodness.. That was an instance where I wanted to prove my heroics on a few startling rides, in a theme park. Two of my colleagues already tired of roaming around of Vienna, but I wanted to try at least a few of those by some means.. One of our folks who had been there to Vienna earlier and had told that there was a place where we can do the yo yo thing, Bunky Jump.. Destined for that, we held this place (PRATERSTERN) which was a descent theme park, but not really comparable to the size of Europa park or Disneyland (PARIS)..

First we had been on a giant wheel which was the major attraction at the park, does not rotate fast, but just to give a panoramic view of the entire city.. We had been through it and just got back and wanted to watch out on a few good rides.. Browsing through all the rides we found one ride which was interesting.. A huge pole with a circular frame around it with lot of wires on it with a small seat, which revolves in great speed and people sitting in those seats fly in the air, more than all that while revolving in that velocity, it moves up and down.. That looked a challenging ride, but we wanted to finish a few simple rides, and then we wanted to keep that as the final assault..

Then we were moving here and there to find out few normal rides, and got to see a free fall ride and a mini roller coaster which goes for about 4 minutes.. The first one which we fancied was the free fall ride.. When we sat on the chairs around the huge pole and we were protected well enough the ride actually started.. In tremendous momentum we moved up over the pole and we almost reached half height, and then we were dropped from there.. We felt like a bullet from a patent tank reaching heights and the pull we got the first time during the drop was damn scary.. We thought it was complete and unfortunately for us it repeated for 4 more times, and the last time it reached the tip of the pole.. God damn, I decided there that Im not going to try this any more.. It was the jolt of my life.. I had never experienced anything like this in the past..

Then it finally ended and I was not able to resume from the shock for twenty long minutes.. Then I had a coke and felt slightly better.. Then it was the mini roller coaster which was not as scary as the previous one, but was fun.. The beauty in those rides was I was protected very well and got the feeling that I was flying in the air at great speed..

After finishing these two rides, I thought it was enough for the day and the mega ride which we wanted to try was really deferred.. Thank god, "Bunky Jump" wasn't available that time.. Had it been available we would have tried and hurt ourselves..

A BIG GOOD BYE TO THESE THRILLS...
