sspaz1000 Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 I'm going to guess Lazer at Dorney Park was the first, followed closely by SooperDooperLooper at Hershey. The only other two Schwarzkopf's I've ridden happened last year.
Geauga Dog Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 My first Schwarzkopf was the first Wildcat CP had when it was located where Oceana is now. The first looping Schwarzkopf I rode was Fire Dragon at Lagoon back in 1993.
FilmoreISnAZN Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 Mine was awesome! Montezuma's Revenge at Knott's Berry Farm!
ernierocker Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 Either Shock Wave at SFOT or Mind Bender at SFOG. Not exactly sure which I rode first.
SuperShawn Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 Pretty sure it was Colossus the Fire Dragon at Lagon.
CorkscrewFoley Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 Wildcat @ Cedar Point. Sadly, it's my only too...
JJLehto Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 I've been on way too few SooperDooperLooper  Doesn't pack quite the same punch as years ago, but that loop is still damn forceful!
cfc Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 I think it was Montezooma's Revenge at Knott's (with Willard's Whizzer at Mariott's Great America in Santa Clara second). Â
WFChris Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 (edited) Another picture of Revolution at SFMM... Rode it with lapbars only This was also my first loop. Edited February 13, 2013 by WFChris
YoshiFan Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 City Jet at Gillian's Wonderland Pier sometime in the mid 90s  The first time I rode the coaster, I was surprised that there was no kind of lap bar, seat belt or any other restraint. I then found out the 2 coasters at Playland a few blocks down the boardwalk (Flitzer and Mighty Mouse) also didn't have any kind of restraint either. Although the Runaway Train at Gillian's is a fun coaster, I miss the City Jet.
firewalk13 Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 WIldcat at Cedar Point, I miss that ride.
Angry_Gumball Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 (edited) Mine had to have been Tidal Wave at CGA (Would have been Montezooma's Revenge but I was new to inversions and a lapbar only freaked me out...this was when I was just a GP). My last one I rode was Zonga at SFDK, and my next ones will be Montezooma's Revenge at KBF and Revolution at SFMM Edited February 13, 2013 by Angry_Gumball
boardwalkbullet91507 Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 The Viper at Six Flags Astroworld! It was my first looping coaster too! My mom took me on it and I remember being scared to death (at this time I was deathly afraid of rollercoasters). I remember after it was over debating on whether I liked it or not, and saying I didn't when I really truly did. I never rode it again before it closed. I also remember how loud the lift was. You could hear it from anywhere in the park. It was an ear splitter. And the tunnel... awesome!!! I'm glad that my first Schwarzkopf was the viper! It was a great starter ride!
cal1br3tto Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 Wildcat at the Puyallup Fair. Charming, but completely tame.
simon8899 Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 The good old times at the carnival... Triple Loop
rcdude Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 Revolution at Six Flags Magic Mountain. Although I had visited Knott's many times before, I was afraid of shuttle coasters until the mid-2000s and I visited SFMM for the first time in the year 2000.
StLCPfan Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 When I was 8 in 1980 my family went to Worlds of Fun in Kansas City. The first coaster we rode that day was Schussboomer, a Schwarzkopf Wildcat. The second was Zambezi Zinger, still one of my favorite roller coasters. I miss that ride very much every time I go to Worlds of Fun and walk by the lovely Boomerang replacement for Zinger.
KCForce Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 The Big Bend at Six Flags Over Texas. I rode it every year from 1972 through 1978. I wished we'd gone back in 1979 it's last year. Man, what a ride.
Loefet Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 Most likely Lisebergbanan, but it could also have been Lisebergloopen, no idea really, can't remember. I'm pretty sure that the first time I rode then was in the same year though, back to back.
11slataus Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 Wildcat - CP - 2003 Whizzer - SFGAm. - 2008 Greezed Lightnin' - SFKK - 2009 Tig'rr - Indiana Beach - 2009
simaticable Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 Mind Bender at SFOG. Such a wonderful ride. Fortunately, I get to ride its Floridan brother, Scorpion, in April.
the ghost Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 The only ones I have ridden are Revolution at SFMM, which has/had an awesome layout but horrible trains. I was young at the time and I thought it was the ride... turns out it was the trains. However Anton was INSTANTLY redeemed and praised after my second Schwarzkopf coaster, which is the absolutely amazingly awesome Montezuma's Revenge, which to this day remains one of my favorite coasters, and EASILY the second best coaster at Knott's after Xcelerator. From what I can tell the general consensus is that pretty much every enthusiast I have ever known loves Schwarzkopf so I would LOVE to ride more than just the two I have ridden.
