Your first Arrow Dynamics coaster

Thunderation at Silver Dollar City. My first "adult" coaster, too!

Oh my god! Same! My two first "adult" coasters were Thunderation at SDC and Screaming Eagle at Six Flags St. Louis!

My first Arrow was also my first credit overall: Magic Kingdom's Big Thunder Mountain Railroad.

Anaconda at Kings Dominion.

Corkscrew at Cedar Point. I hated it. I was 6 and I banged my head almost non stop throughout the entire ride.

The original Corkscrew coaster at Knott's Berry Farm! Rode it in 1989. It was also my second looping coaster I rode (Montezuma being the first!).

Great American Scream Machine at SF: Great Adv.

Yeah starting off big.

But seriously, was my first time at the park, until then I have only been inverted on Sooper Dooper Looper and that one looping coaster at Seaside Heights I cant seem to find, so I saw this huge, multi looping beast with all types of elements.

It was long ago so I dont remember 100% but pretty sure it came before the runaway train because I remember being so amazed by it.

I keep thinking of when I rode The Matterhorn in 1963. If all of that mountain had been stripped away, and all that was

showing was the steel coaster that it was.... I may have had second thoughts about it. At age 10, lol.

 

But honestly, the whole inside of The Matterhorn was pretty empty inside except for the coaster layout and the holes

for the skyride to go through. You could see a car here or there diving into a dark part of the Mountain. And hear screams.

 

Took me longer to enjoy an actual wooden coaster (my own), but The Matterhorn was a great first intro to riding any

fairly wild coaster (at that time), that was tamer in looks.

Magnum Xl-200

Orient Express at WoF.....I know it wasn't the greatest ride ever but it seemed to be underrated. It started my love for coasters. I wish it was still standing. I've got to go ride Loch Ness to pay respect someday.

 

I also loved Viper and TnT is hands down the best Arrow mind train.

Mine was Steel Phantom at Kennywood in 1999.

[astromattical]

Drachen Fire at Busch Gardens. 1994. That was also my very first roller coaster, period.

That's a hell of a way to start yourself off.

 

Mine was Space Mountain. First rode it when I was six. It was my first "big" coaster, and it's still in my top 5 to this day.

[DarienPoint]

Viper at Darien Lake. (:

[Sledgehammer_77]

Vortex at CW.

 

I was terrified... but not as much as the dreaded upside down coaster that is Dragon Fyre.

When I was younger I always called DF "Dragon Fryer"

[TwistyTie]

Corkscrew at Cedar Point, sadly.

[clem2754]

Demon at SFGA.

I'm not sure what I rode first, it was either the Matterhorn Bobsleds, or the Goldrusher.
