My first coaster was Jr. Gemini at Cedar Point when I was 2.

[Cullvion]

I was 3 and I went to the Coast Guard festival in Grand Haven, Michigan. They had one of those TINY Dragon coasters and I LOVED it apparently. I even wandered away from my parents to get in line to it, and they called the police to report me missing... yeah. My sister knew EXACTLY where to look and they found me... at the dragon coaster!

 

 

And a REAL coaster at a park was probably Zach's Zoomer at Michigan's Adventure when I was 4.

My first roller coaster was GASM @ SFOG when I was 8 years old. I'm happy to say I actually used to operate and run my very first roller coaster. Lol

[Projektion]

I can't quite remember what my first coaster was, but I can narrow it down to 2. It was either Tami-Tami at Portaventura or the Grand National al PBB.

My first coaster was some little kiddies one at Portrush in Northern Ireland. It went round twice, had a tiny lift hill, a drop and "air-time" hills. It isn't there anymore

[JRice92]

First Coaster? Probably one of the kiddie coasters at Geauga Lake.

First "big" coaster I really remember? Thunderhawk (well back then it was Serial Thriller) at Geauga Lake.

[ajfelice]

Comet at Waldameer Park at the age of four. Still one of my favorite "laugh" coasters probably because it was my first and only local coaster for several years.

[Christopoll]

I believe it was the Rock N' Roller coaster w/ aerosmith at Disney Studios Paris. I was 7 at the time (now I'm 14).

[Steveg1988]

First i remember for steel: Runaway Mine Train, six flags great adventure

First i remember for wooden: JackRabbit at Clementon Park, NJ (the 1910's coaster that was torn down in the mid 00s)

 

According to my mother (i was born in 1988, we first visited six flags in 1994) she took me on rolling thunder, i don't remember that tho

The closed kiddie coaster that used to be at SFSTL. Don't know how old I was.

[Meteornotes]

I'm old. And the first coaster I remember riding was The Comet at Hersheypark.

I'm pretty sure my first coaster was Roller Skater at SFKK.

[thoe124]

 

Hated every bit of it.

 

NO ROLLER COASTERS EVER AGAIN! I said.

 

Of when i went to Kings Island for the first time i loved roller coasters.

 

Still hate Python.

 

My first actual roller coaster made by a recognized company was Backlot Stunt Coaster at Kings Island.

[boldikus]

1st coaster - The Flyer, Hunts Pier, Wildwood, don't know the year but was likely 82/83. Back seat w/ my Dad. I don't really remember it, but I do have a photo.

[flaffstar99]

A kiddy coaster in Mpviepark germany... I as so freaking scared but i loved it.

 

and now it looks like this

[Bedholm]

First rollercoaster was a kiddie coaster at the small park in Mall of America I was only like 5 or 6 now I'm 15

First big rollercoaster was X and Titan when I was seven

[K1ngdaKa88]

My first Coaster ever was Alpenexpress at Europapark or Alpenblitz at our local Fun Fair. Both are powered Coasters. But my first up side down coaster was Magic Mountain at Gardaland!

[fraroc]

19 years old

 

And my first coaster was Vapor Trails at Sesame Place when I was either 3 or 4 years old. My first coaster was a Vekoma, so it make sense why I don't mind coasters like Anaconda and Shockwave at KD, I was desensitized at a young age

[rcjp]

I'm 18 and my first coaster was Big Thunder Mountain at Disneyland Paris when I was 3, back in 1999.

[Moose]

I'm now 35. My first coaster was the Comet Junior, the kiddie coaster at the now defunct Lincoln Park in Dartmouth MA. I finally rode the full sized coaster there in the final year the park operated.

[Sharman19]

My first coaster was Little Dipper at Bells when it was at Fun Spot in Angola. I am currently 13, but will be 14 on November 3rd.

[gerstlaueringvar]

I'm 18 now. I was three, marathoned this thing for 15 times according to my mom. Fell in love with roller coasters ever since. Thanks for the memory, Pearl Land.
