this is my third time round the TUD / AMK / TUO roller coaster and right now we are sitting in the station, loading up the cars..... May we start clicking up the first big hill, click, click, click, anticipation building for the ride to start, click, click, click Then a moment of silence, a small pause at the top of the hill and whoosh, we are off, hands in the air and wind in our hair.... June, July, August, its fast and we are getting thrown around. Up, down, loop, we bang an elbow, and catch a look at the person beside us grinning and screaming, September and October, and November we are in a rhythm, the slow ups and downs, the initial rush fading a bit, some of us want off the ride, some wish that it will go on, December, January we come into the station, some jump up quick, run for the door with the memory of the ride, others stay in their seat waiting for it all to start again. February, March, April, those that stayed are sitting, waiting for it to start again, anxious and worried that the carny will make them give up their seat. Then, without warning, the bar comes down, they are told to keep their hands and feet inside at all times, and it starts again to click up that first hill, click, click, click, click. I can almost feel it.
