thrillseeker4552 Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 So I made this thread for the pure reason of curiosity. What was your first B&M coaster?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tiger01 Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Nemesis at Alton Towers. And what a ride that was! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoasterGuy06 Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Great White at Sea World San Antonio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rolercstrluvr Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Top Gun at CGA, still one of my favorites. Short and sweet with a grey-out helix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simaticable Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Georgia Scorcher several years ago. Such a great way to end the Stand-Up coaster era. Short, sweet, intense, smooth, and to the point, it sure is one of my favorite coasters of all time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larrygator Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Not 100% certain, but probably Batman:The Ride at SFGAdv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Her0ofLime Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 ^^ Same, nice short-ish ride. Definitely good suited for the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkTums Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Kumba at Busch Gardens. Opening year...I was terrified as I didn't like coaster much back them. That ride is pretty much what changed me into a real coaster enthusiast! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rctneil Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Nemesis at Alton Towers. It was a very busy day and we visited with friends and they pestered and pestered me to ride it, me refusing all day and eventually I gave in and not looked back since.

Ben Burnett Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Apollo's Chariot. Such a great one too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon8899 Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Demonen at Tivoli Copenhagen - more punch than most B&M coasters due to its compact layout, still one of my fav B&Ms as most of them lack Gs for my taste... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DougMJr Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Raptor at CP. Had a great ride on it too. It ran very very well that day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Top Thrill Dragster Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Alpengeist. Rode it opening year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dippindotsguy8 Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 I'm 90% sure it was Montu, but there's a chance it was Kumba. Those two coasters were my "gateway" rides into the enthusiast world, as they were the first two big/intense coasters I had ever ridden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philrad71 Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 I'm pretty sure mine was Shock Wave (stand up) when it was at Great Adventure back in the early 90's...can't say I was overly impressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oriolat Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Dragon Khan in 1999. To be honest I was terrified of going upside down and my biggest ride til then had been Stampida. But my friends decided to ride Khan, so I thought "join the queue with them and then ditch them last minute!". Boy my plan went wrong and I ended up trapped in last row. I'll never forget that first ride, and that was what definitely got me hooked for life! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â I stand corrected, Shockwave was my first. I completely forget about that coaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoshiFan Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Great Bear, August 2005. I had ridden my first SLC Great Nor'Easter a couple of weeks before that and I couldn't believe the difference between a B&M invert and the SLC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
