Wildwood's one best ride

"Are we there yet," the girl yelled. "No!" My aunt said. Riding on the yellow bus with the black writing on it. Passing all the green tress and pretty summer flowers. Coming up to the park we seen all types of rides but, my eyes were stuck on one water ride. It was a blue tube that went around in curves, had a lot of screws, one part had a tunnel where it looked like inside was all dark and it was so big. Me and my cousins walked, we made no stops we went streight to the part that said water rides with the biggest sign that had "water rides." It had designs of splashes of water, they looked 3D and the writing was in blue and black. We walked up to the lady that sat in the chair in the booth where you collect the bands or tickets to get on the water rides. She said,"what would you like to purchase?" We all said bands to get on all the water rides. We got our bands and walked over to the little white tables. We all sat at the table with confused, amused faces on because we didn't know where to start it was so much to choose from. My cousin stood up and said, "how about we go in the pool and get ourselves wet so that when we get on the rides the water wont be cold!" We all agreed. We went in the pool. In the pool it was this gigantic bucket that filled up and it looked as if it was made out of wood. Every half and hour after it was done filling the bell would ring, after about five rings the bucket would tip over and all the water would just fall out on you. When the bucket tiped over me and all my cousins would run under it and got splased with all the water. After about letting the bucket fall on us about three times, we went on some rides. First we got on about four water tube rides. They were all fun until finally this one ride, the one I had my eyes on all day. First we ran up about over forty steps to get to the top. When we got to the top we had to choose six people to get in one tube. Me and my five cousin climbed in one and my other five cousins got in the other one. The tube that me and my cousins got in was red and the other tube that my other cousins got in was white. They were round tubes, they had twelve handles on them for the six people to hold on to and it was certain seats you had to sit in. We went to the edge and the life gaurd had to push us. Down, down, down, we went whoosh, sploosh, sploosh, the sounds went as we hit the corners. Here comes the water falls, screems of six people came from our tube. then we heard five screems come from the other tube that held the rest of my family. Then "boom", soon as we hit the last corner the tube flipped over. My cousin grabbed the tube and we all got back in. But wait, here comes the other tube that my other cousins were in. "Bam", we crash it was so fun, i fell into her, then she fell on me, then he fell into them. It was a terrible fun mess. We all got back up and got back into our tubes. We went to the end where a pool of water was and we turned the tubes over again. This time we all fell under the water. When we got out the gaurd with the yellow life jacket on the red bathing suit under it and the pony tail in her hair said, "If you guys flip the tubes over again you will have to get off the ride for good. We did it about three more times until we got put off for good. After that we went back on the tube rides that we went on before we got on that fun one. The only thing was that we couldn't flip over because the one we fliped over on was the biggest. After that we decided to go on the beach. After we got tired if the seagels taking our food we decided to go to the bus and just talk about our wonderful day at wildwood. Even though we got kicked off the ride we still had a ball and had a story to tell everytime we got back together.
