As I looked up the 26 story tower, I thought to myself, how I am going to do this? As I was gazing at the towering beast, my friends started to call me over.
“Hey, you coming?” I started to walk over to my friends in line.
I was at Kings Island with a couple of guys from Cross Country. A lot of the guys have been on the Drop Tower before, but for me, this was going to be my first time. While we were walking we made a mental note; if we are going to die, at least we are going to die having fun.
“Lets see how long it takes for the ride to drop,” says Calvin.

Other than the fear of the ride, the atmosphere was really cool. I could see the whole scenery of Kings Island.
“Okay, let 's start the count up.” Calvin said.
“One...Three...Five...Seven.., Seven, Seven? Seven!” Calvin said
“Why is it not going do-.” Calvin got cut off by the roar of the ride as it zoomed down the pole. I felt my face as it scrunched up like a dog 's face would when it sticks its head out the window. It was a short time falling, but it was one of the scariest times.
As we hit the bottom, we all just froze. We sat in our seats and took the moment in. As we sat there, we looked at one another and just smiled and
