Your first Arrow Dynamics coaster

[RCjunkie]

Corkscrew at Valleyfair 1980.

I finally rode one this summer at dorney park. It was steel force. It's cool but I like B&M hypers better and other 200ft coasters more.

Rock n' Roller Coaster - Opryland USA

[narkitty]

I'm pretty sure that mine was Runaway Mine Train at SFOT and I know for sure that my second was Roadrunner Express at SFFT.

Pepsi Max Big One at BPB, March 2004.

[TM3988]

Mine was Demon at CGA.. probably circa 1994. Still have the picture! In black and white of course lol

[ytterbiumanalyst]

ThuNderaTion at Silver Dollar City, 1993. My first big roller coaster, and last year, my daughter's first big roller coaster too.

I think it would be Iron Dragon, when I became tall enough. My first coaster with a 48" restriction was Magnum, I believe. I'm not sure what I rode first - CCMR or Corkscrew, but I would guess CCMR. Corkscrew introduced me to "Arrow headbanging"

Demon at Six Flags Great America.

 

First time I went on it I remember seeing the ride from Rolling Thunder and wanting to go on it afterwards. I was still really young and I think it was the year Batman opened.

[Bobby2889]

I wasn't sure until I read through this thread, but after a few people posted it, it hit me.

 

Rock n' Roller Coaster Opryland USA, don't remember the year, just as soon as I was tall enough.

Steel Phantom at Kennywood

[LoopScreweD]

Have you ever seen the Demon? Have you ever heard him scream? Is the Demon what he seems? Or just a bad bad dream. Your gonna finddddd your gonna findddd OUT, about the Demon......at six flags Great America.

Strictly speaking, it was the Matterhorn Bobsleds at Disneyland CA in 1994. (I chickened out in 1986.) I kind of don't want to count a Disneyland ride though..partly just because it's a lot of people's first Arrow and partly because Disneyland is just different for me.

 

If you don't count that one, my next Arrow was ironically, their last - X. Very first ride of the day on a trip to Magic Mountain on September 2nd, 2007.

Mini Mine Train, SFOG.

 

It was scary enough (for my first ride as a small kid) that I didn't go on the "big" mine train (which is still there).

 

First "big" Arrow was Loch Ness Monster in its opening year.

Looks like Matterhorn is taking it.

 

My first arrow was my second coaster ever--Dragon Mountain at Marineland in '86. The camp counsellor wanted to ride and I was the only kid holding out so she bribed me by letting me sit next to her. I think I had my eyes closed for drop and first two loops. The themed stuff still isn't finished I've heard

[arby]

Double Loop at Geauga lake the year it opened. It was also my first non-kiddie coaster.

[rcjp]

Quite embarrassingly, I've never ridden an arrow as there are not that many here in Europe but I'll ride my first in a few days at Cedar point! Just haven't decided if it will be corkscrew or magnum.

[2012jarrett]

Adventure Express at my home park Kings Island. It was also my first full sized steel coaster.

[GnastyGnoric7]

Trailblazer at Hershey Park, as of this point, it is one of only 3 that I have ridden

The Bat. What a way to start things out!

[Hriscay]

XLR-8, I still miss it today

[pashearer]

Cedar Creek Mine Ride!!!

[GoBears]

Demon at SFGAm when I was 4. It was the ride that got me hooked on roller coasters.

[805Andrew]

Matterhorn at Disneyland when I was little. I'm pretty sure you only had to be 3 to ride on it back then.
