jarmor Posted October 28, 2012 Posted October 28, 2012 Does Z force count? I mean, they were part of the team then right?
cwgator Posted October 28, 2012 Posted October 28, 2012 Vortex @ Carowinds was the first. That was in 1994. My second was Alpengeist in 1997; the year it opened.

LawlessBagel Posted October 28, 2012 Posted October 28, 2012 Batman: The Ride at Six Flags Great Adventure in 1993. The first of 100s if not 1000s of rides I've taken on it. Although that day was the most I ever waited for it. With a full que and many break downs it was well over a 3 hours wait.
XYZ Posted October 28, 2012 Posted October 28, 2012 Vortex (CGA). My 1st B&M coaster is the same as Robb's!
jray21 Posted October 28, 2012 Posted October 28, 2012 Vortex at CGA! I remember thinking it was so amazing and smooth!
RCT3Bross Posted October 28, 2012 Posted October 28, 2012 Black Mamba at Phantasialand. Took me to long to go to a park with a B&M.
firewalk13 Posted October 28, 2012 Posted October 28, 2012 (edited) My first was Raptor at Cedar Point in 1994. I remember thinking, how can this possibly be safe? Interestingly, CP had stationed an engineer (theirs?) by the test seats to questioning people like me. I was sold when he told me that the restraints weren't necessary and were just a precaution, that the g forces would keep you in the seat. He also said it was far safer than riding a bike statistically. It's still a great ride.... Edited October 28, 2012 by firewalk13
TheSchwitek Posted October 28, 2012 Posted October 28, 2012 Batman The Ride at Six Flags Great America in 1993. That was also the first time I waited over 2 hours for a coaster.
intimidator305rocks Posted October 28, 2012 Posted October 28, 2012 Batman the Ride at Magic Mountain in 2009
SLUSHIE Posted October 28, 2012 Posted October 28, 2012 I can't be sure but it could very well have been Alpengeist. Not too shabby for a first B&M.
Erik Johnson Posted October 28, 2012 Posted October 28, 2012 Mine was Kumba at Busch Gardens Tampa. It still is in my top ten.
Sneaky Posted October 28, 2012 Posted October 28, 2012 My first B&M was Silver Star this year. And so far my only one (I really need to go to more parks, the coming years)
Anac0nda Posted October 28, 2012 Posted October 28, 2012 Mine was also Silver Star, I think it was 2004. Since then I've only ridden Dragon Khan too, so no big scores for me... But I may just get a chance to add Daemonen to my list next year...
CanadaCoasterKid Posted October 28, 2012 Posted October 28, 2012 Pretty sure it was Behemoth in 2008, back when I didn't know much about roller coasters. It wasn't even my favorite at the time, I preferred Ride Of Steel at DL
ArizonaGuy Posted October 28, 2012 Posted October 28, 2012 (edited) My first B&M coaster was Great White on opening day 1997 at Sea World San Antonio. Edited October 28, 2012 by ArizonaGuy
singemfrc Posted October 28, 2012 Posted October 28, 2012 Medusa at SFDK not that long ago. Somehow I managed to accidentally avoid B&Ms for quite a long time, but I've ridden about 10 new (to me) B&Ms this year.
Ed Farmer Posted October 28, 2012 Posted October 28, 2012 Kumba, spring of 1994. Still looking for a better sitdown looper, anywhere. Pretty sure there is no such thing, and to keep looking would be a waste of time.
Werner Posted October 28, 2012 Posted October 28, 2012 Dragon Khan, when it didn't hurt as much as it did last summer!
Mechanic Posted October 28, 2012 Posted October 28, 2012 Vortex the year it opened at what was then Paramount's Great America. Top Gun which came along a couple years later was, and is, far better
