How Old Are You & What Was Your 1st Coaster?

[Mr.Roller77]

I'm 47, and I rode my first coaster when I was ten years old, on the Jack Rabbit at Seabreeze Park in Rochester, N.Y. The last drop inside a tunnel scared the crap out of me, but I went on the coaster three more times!! Today, I no longer ride coasters because of health issues, but I still like to talk about them with you guys on this site, and make them on RCT3. Can't wait for Theme Park Studio!

I'm 13. I have been riding roller coasters for as long as I can remember. My first "big" coaster was most likely Jaguar at Knott's. Before that I have probably only ridden small coasters at carnivals and other small parks.

I'm 30. My first coaster I can remember was Grottenblitz at Heide Park Soltau.

I'm 17, my first coaster was Catwoman's Whip at SFNE. I remember riding it while my dad was waiting in line for Superman first thing in the morning. We both high fived because we both got on coasters. I think I was 4 or so.

38 here. First post. New Member. Total Noob. I have lived 5 minutes from King's Island my entire life. My first coaster should have been a legendary Arrow coaster named The BAT in June of 83'. But, it was closed that day for repairs. So my first coaster was the Beast in all it's early glory. I weighed like 60 Lbs and thought i was going to fly out of the train.

15 Here....Looks like I'm definitely not in the minority. Anyways The first coaster I rode was Big Bad Wolf. I was only four and remember the handles on the OSTR being right at head level! I was so scared I didn't go on another coaster until I was 9.

22, with mine being Corkscrew at Michigan's Adventure when I was around 12. Don't remember that one too much along with Wolverine Wildcat, but the one I certainly remember is Shivering Timbers, riding it for the first time. I was slightly terrified and sadly my mom got an on-ride photo of it, which to this day, can't live down. But considering that it's now the coaster I've ridden the most and rode plenty more, you can say that my fear has been long gone!

39. My first coaster was a kiddie coaster located at the now defunct Boyle's Joyland in Topeka KS. It was very similar to the Little Dipper at Conneaut Lake Park. My first major coaster was the Orient Express at Worlds of Fun, which scared the poop out of me, but began my love affair with coasters!

43 and my first coaster was High Roller at Valleyfair in 1977. It looked 'too scary' to ride a year earlier when I went to the park.

First rollercoaster was in 1998 on the Rudy's Rapid Trainsit coaster at Santa's Village NH. Still an amazing ride today even if it is a compact family coaster.

Hello, I would like you to tell me what your very first roller coaster was and try to post a picture. Thanks!

[sackninja]

I don't have a picture but it would be goofy's barnstormer at wiseacre farm in magic kingdom in October 2002 when I was 2.

Big thunder mountain at Disneyland Paris when I was 3. Quite a fun ride.

[Anything]

Will have been a Big Apple somewhere no doubt!

[gerstlaueringvar]

The kiddie coaster at Pearl Land, rode it 15 times in a row when I was 3. My mom told me I was insane then.

[Aceattack52]

Mine was the Dahlongela Mine Train at SFOG. Good times.

[Coastergenius250]

Mine probably was Runaway Train at The Fun Center at Paige's Crossing.

Blazing Fury at Dollywood when I was like 7 or 8. It was my first time at an actual amusement/theme (I wasn't old/tall enough when I visited Disney World when I was three to go on anything.), and I was really scared for my life. Things have really changed since then.

 

Edit: Just to mention. It was my first time at Dollywood, and it was my end of the year 1st grade trip.
