"Looking at me now, you'd be forgiven for thinking that I'd always adored rides. The truth though is more... Fate almost.
Way back when I was just turning 6, me and the family were taken to the first big theme park we'd ever been to. They say first impressions were everything but this wasn't the best introduction I must say.
Imagine. 5-year-old me stood before what was quite simply, a loud, roaring metal monster that made all the people who set foot upon it scream. The very sight of it rocked me.
Needless to say, the day that followed must have been disappointing to my folks. Ride after ride I refused to even go near. These machines were scary. These machines were evil."
