Kid’s Power Could be Great

       This summer, I went on a seven day trip to California, USA.  My family and I spent one day at Legoland, San Diego.  There were all sorts of attractions and rides that were based on Lego game sets and looked like they were built with Lego blocks.  Strolling inside the park was like being in a kingdom of Lego blocks!


Besides those rollar coasters and other common rides, there was one ride that was one of a kind.  It was named ‘Kid’s Power Tower”.  There were three towers, red, yellow and blue, that were about three floors high.  When you ride, you sit on a seat, and pull the rope in front of you to lift up your seat.  Whenever you release, you will enjoy a free-fall.


When my sister Nicole and I spotted the towers, we decided to give it a try.  We pulled and pulled until we got to the top.  My heart pounded as we ascended.  The scenery was unbelievably spectacular. Looking down, I could see the entire park below my feet.  I gasped.  Then I let go the rope.  We dropped and Nicole screamed.  I laughed aloud.  When we almost touched the ground, I grabbed the rope.  Nicole let out a sigh of relief. Then we pulled the rope again.  It was really fun.  I wondered why there were only about ten people lining up?
