^ I know. I have only ridden three (Montezooma's Revenge, Revolution, and Scorpion) and I know there is more ahead of me like both Mindbenders and Olympia Looping (giving the best examples)

My first was Revolution with the OTSRs.

 

However, my first non-botched Schwarzkoph was Montezooma's Revenge @ KBF.

Doppel Looping at the CNE in Toronto when I was 12. There's no better feeling in the world than riding a kickin' Schwarzkopf with Judas Priest blaring from the Grandstand.

Mine would be Mind Bender at SFOG. To this day it is still my favorite Schwarzkopf. Yes, I have ridden Shockwave. I prefer this one over it (just barely, though). Biased? Maybe.

Mountain Express, at Magic Mountain, and we waited well over an hour. For a Wildcat. And then we went and hunted some saber-tooth tigers for the clan meal. (See, because it was a very, very long time ago... )

And the Schwarz was with it! (Spaceballs reference for all you cool people. And yes, I know the movie was actually "schwartz").
Or those of us old enough to remember when only 5 movies came out a week! Quality over quantity.

 

5 a week sounds like a large quantity to me... Unless you mean 5 a year, but then that would be a crazy over exaggeration as there were way more than that even back then.

 

Turns out, my guess wasn't too far off: http://www.the-numbers.com/movies/year/1985

 

there are about 5-10x more movies released a month now: http://www.the-numbers.com/movies/year/2012

 

Nothing is perfectly correct when it comes to this sort of thing, but gives a good idea just how much "stuff" we have now. Movies, tv channels, etc.

Not only was Willard's Whizzer at CGA my first Schwarzkopf ever, it was also my first 'real' coaster (non-kiddie)!
