I was 4 when I rode Space Mountain at WDW. And then I rode Rolling Thunder at SFGAv a months later when I was 5.

I'm 32, and I think my first coaster was Rollo Coaster at Idlewild Park. Either that one or Kiddie Dipper @ pre-Raging Rapids Kennywood.

I'm 32 and I'm pretty sure my first was the Cedar Point Mine Ride...but I rode Blue Streak that same day, so I'm just a little fuzzy on the order. I want to say I was 7 or 8 at the time, and that was the first year I was tall enough to ride anything! I was such a munchkin...

[Nicker211]

My first coaster was Goofy's Barnstormer at WDW on one of my first vacations ever. My first "big" coaster was Magnum at CP when my Dad strongly encouraged (forced) me to ride it. That was when my love for coasters started. I am currently 16, and my first coaster was at the age of 4.

My first coaster was when I was 6. Judge Roy Scream. Six Flags over Texas.

LOVED IT!

[martynlfc]

Im 16 and im very happy to say that my first coaster was the Cyclone at Southport Pleasureland when i was about 8. Sadly its no longer with us.

My first was either the Comet or Trailblazer at Hershey Park. I think I was about 10 years old or so.

[HCONerd]

If little kiddie-coasters count, then I was about 6 when I rode my first roller coaster which was Miner Mike at the Adventuredome at Circus Circus.

 

I was probably 11 or 12 years old when I rode my first "big roller coaster", California Screamin' I remember being terrified to death.

1st Looping:ShockWave At SFOT

1st "Big Roller Coaster":Mine Train At SFOT

[CoasterFreakZac]

1st roller coaster=Whizzer SFGAm when was 4

1st Big roller coaster=American Eagle when I was 5(i think)

1st looper=Demon at SFGAm When I was 4 (i think)

 

I used to go to every year to SFGAm because i live only an hour away and my dad got private days for his work and the longest we waited for a ride was like ten minutes. It was awesome.But now they don't do it anymore .Man i hate his work!!

[CommanderLock]

If kiddie fair coasters count, then the Thriller at Land of Make Believe in Hope, NJ. It still exists after all these years...

First real coaster was probably Trailblazer at Hersheypark.

Haven't gone on any looping coasters yet.

First 100ft+ coaster was Gemini. I swear I got addicted to that ride...

age 37, first coaster I rode was the Reel at Blackpool, closely followed by the Grand National not sure how old I was

[scouse_rider!]

I'll be 20 on the 27th July. I can't actually remember what my first coaster was, most probably a kids one. I'm aware there are photographs of me at about 4 or 5 at camelot.

[ElliotDragon]

I never rode a BIG coaster as a kid, because I suffered from severe motion sickness issues and figured it would be a bad idea.

 

At age 14, I learned on Disneyland's Space Mountain that I don't puke on rides that go fast - only the ones that spin in circles. No Teacups for me!

[DRACHEN_FIRE_FAN-BOY]

well for me it's obvious.......

 

Drachen Fire, opening day ^_^

 

b/c I still don't think the Scooby Doo coaster at what was PKD counts

 

I was...... four, almost five, like a month before my birthday, which is tomorrow (July 2nd w00t!)

[Hckystr91]

well i'm 16, and my very first coaster was Rudy's Rapid Transit at Santa's Village in Jefferson, New Hampshire.

[Virdu_]

I'm 14 and my first 'coaster' was a Zamperla's Dragon in a little kiddie park in Benidorm, I think its name was "Dracky"

My first coaster in a theme park was a dissappeared kiddie coaster in Parque de Atracciones de Madrid, I was so young that I don't remember the name...

[Adrenaline_Rush]

Im 13 and my first coaster was Dueling Dragons - Ice when I was like 8 or 9.

[kelly06]

Im 16 and technically my first coaster was Junior Dragon Coaster at Camelot - think i was 7?

 

First 'big' coaster was Air at Alton Towers. aged 15 lol

[RollercoasterTigger]

My first coaster was the Cyclone @ Pleasureland Southport followed by Blackpool Pleasure beach a few weeks later. I was 13 at the time.

 

My first looping coaster was Shockwave @ Drayton Manor when I was 15 - I wouldn't go on the revolution at Blackpool because it looked scary!

 

I'm 25 now - how time does fly!

[MidtownCoaster]

^^^ I'm feeling you on the 25 part.

 

Anyway, my first coaster was the Jr. Gemini at Cedar Point.

 

But the first one I remember was Python at BGT (followed shortly by BTMRR and SM at WDW).

[BrownStreak]

OMG! Only 8% of the people on here are older than me! I'm only 33, I'm not ready to be THAT old yet!

[Groteslurf]

40 and my first coaster was some kind of wild mouse at a fair.

First coaster in a themepark was Jumbo Jet in Walibi Belgium.

[no_brain_er]

I'm 15, and the first coaster I rode was the little Speedy Gonzales coaster in Myrtle Beach when I was maybe 4 or 5.

[EmBy]

I'm 27, in the 10% bracket here thats grand.

 

First coaster was Wild Mouse at BPB, wasn't the best of starts and it put me off for a while.
