The Rollercoaster Experience
A trip to the amusement park is always a memorable doživljaj (experience). The star attraction is usually the vlak smrti (rollercoaster), which literally translates to "train of death." The anticipation right before you board is often completely neopisiv (indescribable).
| An indescribable experience is waiting for me in the amusement park. | Neopisiv doživljaj me čeka u lunaparku. |
| This rollercoaster was really exciting! | Ovaj vlak smrti je bio baš uzbudljiv! |
Thrills and Chills
It is completely natural for your nerves to take over. When the adrenaline hits, you might start to tresti se (shake) from the height, or just naturally begin to vrištati (scream) as soon as the ride moves.
| His fear is such that he shakes constantly. | Njegov strah je takav da se stalno trese. |
| As soon as the rollercoaster starts moving, people start to scream. | Čim krene vlak smrti, ljudi počinju vrištati. |
The Anatomy of the Ride
Every rollercoaster follows a familiar pattern. You endure the slow, nerve-wracking uspon (ascent), bracing yourself for the massive spust (drop). Suddenly, the intense ubrzanje (acceleration) hits as your car begins to strmoglaviti se (plunge) downward.
| The acceleration of this rollercoaster is really scary. | Ubrzanje ovog vlaka smrti je stvarno strašno. |
| After the ascent comes that big drop. | Nakon uspona dolazi onaj veliki spust. |
| The car will plunge into a dark tunnel. | Vagon će se strmoglaviti u mračan tunel. |
Sweet Relief
Once your feet are back on solid ground, you might still feel a lingering jeza (dread) passing through you. The best way to settle your stomach and reward your bravery is to buy some šećerna vuna (cotton candy) or another delicious slatkiš (candy).
| We will buy cotton candy and other candies. | Kupit ćemo šećernu vunu i druge slatkiše. |
| We got rid of the dread through conversation and candies. | Riješili smo se jeze kroz razgovor i slatkiše. |
