First kiddie coaster was in a local park By the Fresno Zoo around 1964. My first real coaster that I can remember was the Big Dipper at SCBB around 1966. It scared the heck out of me. I was riding with my Dad and he pulled the lap bar down tight for him, but me being 6 or 7 at the time left a lot of room. I remember sliding all over the place.

First looping coaster was Montezuma's Revenge at KBF in about 1978.

I was 6 Years old when I rode my first rollercoaster:

It was the "Marienkäferbahn" in Hollywood and Safaripark Stukenbrock

On The same day I went on my first Looingrollercoaster ( Super Tornado )

[What Now]

I've been 22 for almost two weeks.

 

My first coaster was Timberline Twister at Knott's. Believe it or not, I still haven't been on a powered coaster.

The very first coaster I went on only went in a gigantic loop over and over and it was called The Scream Machine at the Fairgrounds.

[alpengeistdude321]

I'm 16.

 

The first coaster I've ever ridden was when I was 6, Big Thunder Mountain.

 

My first big coaster is when I was 10, Alpengeist. Been loving it since.

[GAcoaster]

I'm 35.

 

My first coaster was when I was 10 (I was terrified of coasters before that), and it was Runaway Mine Train at SFGAdv.

 

My first looping coaster was Lightning Loops at SFGAdv, which was terrifying to me (when I was 12), simply because it shook as you were climbing the stairs to the platform. Just getting the nerve to climb those stairs was harder than getting the nerve to ride!

[Edwardo]

I'm 24, and my first coaster was Scooby Doo's Ghoster Coaster @ PKD or slighly possibly Lil' Eagle @ MBP.

My birth certificate says I'm 15, though I feel like I'm still 12.

 

My first coaster was Mariehonen, now Karavanen in Tivoli Gardens. Go figure. Ohhh, and when you go there Robb & Elissa, be sure to ride it, it actually gives a small pop of airtime.

[nemesis-storm]

The first coaster, That I can remember going on is either Alton Mouse or The Beast at Alton Towers, way back in 1988

 

The Alton Mouse is now at Idlewild Park & called Wild Mouse

[Wackyboxer]

The first coaster I remember riding was Big Bend at SFOT, but I don't remember what year it was. It was kinda cool seeing that Robb has also ridden it because it's been gone for so many years I didn't think anybody would have even heard of it.

[pixelated]

Aww... I can't vote... I'm 11 but I will be 12 in a month! YAY! Can't wait to be able to vote on this.

 

My first was the small powered coaster at American Adventures when I was about 3. I rode the mine train at SFOG when I was 4. I rode my first "big" coaster when I was 7: The Great American Screem Machine!

I enjoyed that ride, and it is my cousins, well was, his favorite ride at the park

 

I don't think he knows that Six Flags Great America still has theirs, or he would probably try to find a way there, I will have to tell him

[M_Force_4_ever]

^I love the whizzer @ SFGAm. anyway I'm 16 (just turned it 2 weeks ago) and the first coaster I remember riding is ether BTMR at WDW in 1995 or Viper at SFGAm in 1995 (I was 6 and I was terrified)

[Morcar]

Probably would have been the Little Dipper (Zipper Dipper) at PBB.

 

First full size was The Reel at PBB (long gone now), closely followed by The Roller Coaster also at PBB.
