A Disastrous Trip
Wow! I remember when I went on a trip to Universal Studios. Universal Studio’s is one of the best theme parks in Orlando. There are a variety of attractions and amusement that many people can participate in. This is one of the many trips I’ve been on throughout my lifetime. However, the most disastrous trip I ever took was to Universal Studios.
The trip to Universal Studios could have gone great, but instead it was an unpleasant trip. Take it from me; you would’ve not wanted to be with my family. Everyone was arguing from point A to point B. For instance; my siblings and I fought about where we were going to sleep, where the family will eat, and what fun things the family gets to do? There was so much commotion I started to have a serious breakdown. Furthermore, from that moment on it was clear that this trip was not going to end right.
Every year more than 20% of people need roadside assistance to prevent accidents. While we’re on the highway we needed road service due to our inflated tire. My mom then looked at the tires on the vehicle and found caps missing. The repair man arrived and fixed the loose tire. Luckily we did not need a jump start, and towing to the nearest adequate repair facility. I said to myself what a hectic trip. More importantly, we could have been in a serious accident.
There are less than 10% of people that are injured at Universal Studios. I have seen people fall off some extreme rides. Injuries occurred on multiple rides; The Hulk, Jurassic Park, and the Revenge of the Mummy. For example; a teenager fell from a rollercoaster injuring her back very badly. I was so in shock, I fainted. I also heard about a 39 year old man that died from a fall while boarding The Revenge of the Mummy rollercoaster at universal studios. To this day; I still reminisce about our trip to Universal Studios.
In conclusion, the trip to Universal...
