Sliding on a waterslide so fast, and end up flying into a pool

Don’t you feel scared all of a sudden and then you end up with a splash? Sometimes you even gulp a mouthful of water because you are screaming and then “SPLASH!” All you know is that you’re in the water and you’re choking really hard.

It is really cool and you feel nervous. In the beginning, the slide is really slow, and you may feel bored. After that, the slide goes faster and faster. All of a sudden you just know that you’re plunging down, all you can see is blurry stuff because you’re plunging down too fast and flying up again. Then, you enter the pool with a “SPLASH!”.


Awesome!
