Let’s Go Round And Round

ferris wheel in Embarcadero Legazpi City

When I was a kid, I wanted to ride in a ferris wheel. So during the fiesta in Daraga, Albay, my mother allowed me to ride in one. It was a huge ferris wheel. I rode with a helper and my younger sister. It was a traumatic experience for a kid like me because when it was time to go down, I could see the huge dinosaur in the horror train’s booth looming closer.

The helper had to shout to the operator to let us out. After three rounds, the operator was able to stop the ride and let us out. I was shivering because of fright that came with the experience.

I did not ride a ferris wheel for years. Even when I was in high school and our family went to Enchanted Kingdom. Nope. No way.

It was in college when I decided to face my fear. With orgmates, we went for a ride in a ferris wheel at Paskong Pasiklab. It was in December of 2003. I found out that the ferris wheel is not something to be scared about. And it became boring after the first three cycles.

What’s your ferris wheel experience?
