ThanksforRiding Posted August 20, 2013 Posted August 20, 2013 Big Bad Wolf at Busch Williamsburg. It's unforgivable that they took that ride out.
gerstlaueringvar Posted August 20, 2013 Posted August 20, 2013 Cedar Creek Mine Ride, before I knew it was Ntag of the 20th century! What? I didn't get it.
powpig Posted August 20, 2013 Posted August 20, 2013 Matterhorn for me, late 60s. 2nd would've been Gold Rusher a few years later, back when it was the only coaster at Magic Mtn, pre-SF. Yes, I'm old.
MorganFan Posted August 20, 2013 Posted August 20, 2013 I want to say it was Runaway Mine Train (SFOT) but it was probably Matterhorn Bobsleds.
coasterkid21 Posted August 20, 2013 Posted August 20, 2013 Big Bad Wolf. I was only four at the time... I Cried...
rcrider4 Posted August 20, 2013 Posted August 20, 2013 My first (and sadly only) was Python at BGT. I was 8 or 9, and I cried for the whole queue. I don't remember anything except for the headbanging on the corkscrews :/ I wish I would have ridden it more now, as there aren't many left, and I would like to have a complete memory of one.
B&MBoy1982 Posted August 20, 2013 Posted August 20, 2013 Python - BGT rcrider4, I actually have the print out of your avatar, that was given to me by Busch Gardens in 2008.
ThanksforRiding Posted August 27, 2013 Posted August 27, 2013 Runaway Mine Train at Six Flags Great Adventure. It's one of the better mine trains out there too. If you ride in the back you actually get a little air on that thing.
coasterkid124 Posted August 27, 2013 Posted August 27, 2013 Viper @ Darien Lake. The ride is one of the better Arrows in my opinion.
tororific Posted August 27, 2013 Posted August 27, 2013 Turn of the Century, Marriott's Great America, Santa Clara. Still remember the wicked air time on those two speed hills. And the corkscrew was painted red, which made it seem "extra scary" to this kid's eyes.
chrguy606 Posted August 27, 2013 Posted August 27, 2013 I'm pretty positive it was XLR8 at Astroworld.
DAT_OG_ROLL Posted August 27, 2013 Posted August 27, 2013 Dahlonega Mine Train at SFOG. Still a fun ride
talfonso Posted August 30, 2013 Posted August 30, 2013 Mine's the Runaway Mine Train at (Six Flags) Great Adventure. Not really well-known, but it was a pretty good ride. My first one really well known for ages the world over was Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, which is accessible via an hour's drive from my house, if you know what I mean!
Arrow Dynamics fan Posted August 31, 2013 Posted August 31, 2013 My first Arrow was King River Mine Train at Six Flags Over Mid-America (aka SFSTL) I think 1991. My first looping coaster Arrow had a hand in building was Ninja at Six Flags Over Mid-America 1993 I think. My first pure Arrow looping coaster was the Orient Express Worlds of Fun 1995 or 1996 I think. My first suspended coaster was Flight Deck King's Island 2011. My first Arrow Hyper was Magnum XL-200 in 2012. My first Arrow 4D was X2 in 2013. I have yet to find an Arrow that I don't like. I can't say that about any other manufacturer.
rcjp Posted August 31, 2013 Posted August 31, 2013 Corkscrew at CP last Tuesday, followed by magnum a few hours later.
daniellazarus Posted September 3, 2013 Posted September 3, 2013 Roadrunner Express at SFFT when it first opened.
GigaG Posted September 3, 2013 Posted September 3, 2013 Suspended:Iron Dragon Mine Train: Runaway Mine Train at SFOT or Mini Mine Train (probably the former, I think, but I don't really know. Hyper - Magnum Looping - Cedar Point Corkscrew, probably 4D - X2
Double0Kevin Posted September 17, 2013 Posted September 17, 2013 First: Matterhorn Bobsleds - DL Looping: Demon - CGA Hyper: Desperado - Buffalo Bills Suspended: Ninja - SFMM Mine Train: Big Thunder Mountain Railroad - DL Mad Mouse: Psycho Mouse - CGA 4th Dimension: X - SFMM First one I operated: Canyon Blaster - Adventuredome
LawlessBagel Posted September 17, 2013 Posted September 17, 2013 I'm pretty sure it was Great American Scream Machine. I vaguely remember my first visit to Great Adventure in 1993....oh crap its coming back to me as I type! I remember we first went to GASM but the friend I was with made some lame excuse for not wanting to ride it. So we then rode Rolling Thunder follow by....Runaway Mine Train so that was my first. we never did ride GASM that day we rode Batman which i remember having a really long and it broke down a lot. I don't believe it was until 1995 that I was taken to Great Adventure again. I finally got to ride GASM and i loved it until the last ride I took on it. I also could have been taken to Hershey Park first and it might have be Trailblazer, but I doubt it.
smallpox Posted September 17, 2013 Posted September 17, 2013 my first Arrow coaster was Steel Phantom at Kennywood, the first week it was open. i LOVED the thing. it blew me away. in hindsight, yeah, it was rough, but i didn't know any better. (B&M hadn't built Batman: The Ride yet!) i still have a Steel Phantom t-shirt and my daughter wears it as her nightshirt! my second arrow coaster was Drachen Fire (R.I.P.). i loved this one as well, though not as much as Steel Phantom. my third arrow was Anaconda.
