I like fairs because in Claiborne County my family and I went to a fair. I had the best time ever there because my favorite ride was the Tilt-a-Whirl. It was so fun to ride. He would get it going fast. All I could do is laugh. That was the best time ever.

If I had to pick between amusement parks and fairs I would pick amusement parks. They are safer than fairs. My favorite amusement park is Dollywood. My favorite ride at Dollywood is Fire Chaser. Fire Chaser goes backwards and that is why I like that ride. I usually go to Dollywood every year. When I go to Dollywood I always ride Fire Chaser.

I love amusement parks. My favorite is Lake Winnepesaukah! In the night they have fireworks and boats going down a stream, but by day they have roller coasters like Cannonball Roller-coaster! It is awesome.
Piper Linton, 5th, Jonesville Middle, Mrs. Austin
Do you like roller coasters? I sure do! My favorite amusement park is Dollywood. Dollywood is located in Tennessee. It is about 3 hours from Lee County, Virginia. My favorite ride there is Mystery Mine. At first you start on a small hill, but as soon as you launch off you go down a deep, dark tunnel. Music plays, really creepy music. You creep down the tunnel, and then you go straight up. While you are going up you get to see a small film of a tower about to fall on you, but you shoot down. When you are out of the tunnel you go into a corkscrew loop and then it’s over. This is my favorite ride.

My favorite amusement park is Dollywood. One of my favorite rides is Wild Eagle. I like it because it goes very, very fast and has lots of loops. It also has lots of twist and turns. I think it is really cool.
Samantha Cavin, 5th, Jonesville Middle, Mrs. Austin
I went on a trip to Florida to an amusement park. They had lots of rides. There were a lot of rides I liked but they were all roller coasters. I rode all of the inside and outside rides.
Savannah Evans, 5th, Jonesville Middle, Mrs. Austin
I do like amusement parks. Amusement parks are fun. My favorite amusement parks are Dollywood and Splash Country. There are both scary and fun rides. My favorite ride is Wild Eagle. Why I like Wild Eagle is because it starts to feel like we are going to hit one of the big poles.

This is a story about when I went to the fair with my friend. My friend and I went to the fair in 2018. We only rode the rides that didn’t scare us. A ride, we called “The Cupcakes.” Well we got on it and it was like a Ferris wheel and it stopped when we were at the top. It said “Warning, do not rock.” My friend said, “It’s rocking.” We screamed. I’m afraid of heights and I started crying because we were scared. We told the instructor that we wanted off and he said, “You have to wait until the ride’s over.” I said, “Wait, no!” and he sent us back up and finally let us off. Another ride we called “Ladybugs.” The name was because they were cars that went really fast and spun around. The instructor locked the bar that held us in the car. He turned it on and we realized that it wasn’t locked. I was holding it down to the point my knees started to hurt. Good thing I didn’t let go. We got on this ride that went really fast and I kept sliding over to my friend’s side and I apparently crushed her. We went to the swings that were low to the ground and on our way there a moth landed on my nose. It flew away and when I got on the swings it came back and hit me in the face. My friend laughed at me but it was okay because it was pretty funny, so I laughed with her.

Do you like amusement parks or fairs? I like fairs. One time I went to Dollywood’s County Fair. It was so fun I loved it so much. There was so much to do and I had a lot of fun. We go to Dollywood a lot but one of my favorite rides in the County Fair is the bumper cars. They are so fun and Dollywood has so many rides. I love them all. They are so fun to ride. They also have so many places to eat and you can even have a drawing by this woman who is really good at drawing. I love Dollywood. The end.

I love amusement parks! My mom’s scared of roller coasters but I love them. I like Dollywood because it has so many rides and activities. I like amusement park games the most. Amusement parks are so fun!
Taylor Epperly, 5th, Jonesville Middle, Mrs. Austin
I have loved amusement parks ever since I went to Dollywood, which is in Pigeon Forge. I also like Busch Gardens, which is in Florida. Busch Gardens is also where I rode my first roller coaster. My favorite ride at Dollywood is Wild Eagle. Wild Eagle has a big hill and a lot of loops.
Taylor Shupe, 5th, Jonesville Middle, Mrs. Austin
I like Dollywood because it is a fair, it is big, and has a bunch of rides. My favorite 5 are Lightning Rod, Wild Eagle, bumper cars, Tennessee Tornado, and Mystery Mine. I love Dollywood. It is just so, so fun. Even now I have been there like 15 times but still it is fun.
Travis Eldridge, 5th, Jonesville Middle, Mrs. Austin
My favorite amusement park would have to be Dollywood. My favorite ride there at Dollywood would have to be Wild Eagle. It is the smoothest ride they have there and it goes really fast. I rode it with my friend Cameron for the first time last year.
Walker Baker, 5th, Jonesville Middle, Mrs. Austin
My favorite amusement park is Dollywood. I love Dollywood because I love fast roller coasters and Dollywood is the place to go because it’s pretty close and it has the fastest wood coaster in the world! I also love the decorations on holidays, the plays, and the roller coasters. There is Thunderhead, Lightning Rod, and a lot of others and they’re so fun! I also like the parades because all the little mice in cheese cars look so cool and the decorations dance to the music every 30 minutes! That’s why I love Dollywood. Hope you enjoy it like I did.
Zach Lane, 5th, Jonesville Middle, Mrs. Austin
I would like the state park better than the amusement park because the state park would have more stuff to do.
Adam Barber, 6th, Jonesville Middle, Mrs. Jones
Dollywood is my favorite amusement park. It is local, has a lot of rides, and were it is located also has a lot of other things to do in the area.
Aidan Yeary, 6th, Jonesville Middle, Mrs. Jones
I love amusement parks and other stuff like that. They are so fun to ride, play, and more.
Alivia Collins, 6th, Jonesville Middle, Mrs. Jones
My favorite ride at Dollywood is Wild Eagle. I like Wild Eagle because of its speed. Also when it goes upside down it gives me butterflies in my stomach.
Ashton Elliott, 6th, Jonesville Middle, Mrs. Jones
The fair in my local town, Jonesville, Virginia is very fun. My favorite thing to do is ride roller coasters, but if I had to choose one it would be S.C.A.T.

I don’t really have a favorite ride at the fair. I like to ride a lot of rides and I like to eat funnel cakes at the fair. I also like to do the mirror mazes and watch the demolition derby.
Ethan Pennington, 6th, Jonesville Middle, Mrs. Jones
Yes, I do like fairs and my favorite ride is the one that goes upside down and looks like a Ferris wheel.
