Nrthwnd Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Am pretty sure (after checking) that what was called Top Gun and now goes by "Flight Deck" at CA's Great America, was my first B&M. Around 1994, just after it opened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArundelHigh Coasters Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 I think mine was either Dominator at KD or Nitro at SFGADv., I don't remember which one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisRidesCoasters Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 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! Â Â Ditto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jhcbiinoc Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Riddler's Revenge, followed by Batman: The Ride immediately afterwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GayCoasterGuy Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Being the first B&M coaster, I figured I'd share some early pics of Iron Wolf and related stuff (and just in case I haven't said it enough times, the ride was great and ride-able back then!) Â Tidal Wave is easily the most missed ride at Great America. Of course, Iron Wolf had it's fans, too: Â Inverted coaster test seat by Iron Wolf loop: Â The park gave us sticky-pads: Â A cool pennant with Tidal Wave and Vortex standing in for Shockwave (Great America had 2 "Waves" before CP had 2 "streaks"): Â There was also an Iron Wolf "blueprint" that was a rendering of the ride on blue paper (not a real blueprint).

ajfelice Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Great Bear at Hersheypark. The B&M roar was much more intimidating at age 11, but even riding it 10 years later didn't seem too tame like some others say about Great Bear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WFChris Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Instead of a list, I'll just say my first b&m of all types were those built at SFMM and in the order they were built. So my first one ever ever was Batman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coastercrzyjames Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 First B&M Coaster was Riddler's Revenge in 2000. I fell in love with the coaster at the time and for a while it was one of my favorites. These days I don't feel quite the same about it, has not aged well at all! I'll usually give it a quick courtesy ride or 2 when visiting the park, but that's about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UrbanLegend Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Montu at BGA. Also my first 54"-restriction ride. I still have the on-ride photo, because it captures pretty well how awed I was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koasterking48 Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 The classic Kumba! I really loved the ride back in 2001 and still do today! Then I rode Montu shortly after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
