What was your first B&M Coaster?

[Nrthwnd]

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.

[ArundelHigh Coasters]

I think mine was either Dominator at KD or Nitro at SFGADv., I don't remember which one.

[ChrisRidesCoasters]

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!

 

 

Ditto.

[Jhcbiinoc]

Riddler's Revenge, followed by Batman: The Ride immediately afterwards.

[GayCoasterGuy]

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!)

 

Tidal Wave is easily the most missed ride at Great America. Of course, Iron Wolf had it's fans, too:

 

Inverted coaster test seat by Iron Wolf loop:

 

The park gave us sticky-pads:

 

A cool pennant with Tidal Wave and Vortex standing in for Shockwave (Great America had 2 "Waves" before CP had 2 "streaks"):

 

There was also an Iron Wolf "blueprint" that was a rendering of the ride on blue paper (not a real blueprint).

Nemesis,still as awesome as it was in 94

[GigaG]

Not totally sure, but probably (in this order)

 

Inverted - Raptor

Hyper - Diamondback

Stand-up - Mantis

Floorless - Dominator

Giga (if you count this as seperate) - Leviathan

Wing - Not yet, almost certainly will be GateKeeper

 

I don't think I've been on any other model of B&M

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.

[philthephorce]

Raptor.

[WFChris]

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.

[cmullin]

Mine was Flight Deck at CGA.

[coastercrzyjames]

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.

[UrbanLegend]

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.

[Koasterking48]

The classic Kumba! I really loved the ride back in 2001 and still do today! Then I rode Montu shortly after.

[RollerCoasterSmi]

Inverted: Nemesis at Alton Towers
