I am currently 9 and my first coaster was the credit at Adventuredome.

 

EDIT: My first non-kiddie was Tony Hawk's Big Spin at SFDK.

I am currently 17, and my first coaster was Gadgets Go Coaster at the age of 5.

I turned 13 a couple of weeks ago.

 

My first coaster was Jr. Gemini.

My first non-kiddie coaster was Santa Monica West Coaster.

The first coaster I rode was the Thunderbolt at what is now Six Flags New England. It was Riverside back then.

35 till Halloween, and I would imagine the first ride was either Scooby or Galxay at KD when I would've been @ 5 - 6 years old. My first big memory was my dad dragging me on Nessie at BGtOC and swearing from that point I would never ride another coaster again! I was shaking and scared and all I could remember was "falling" out of my seat on the first drop. I guess that was my first airtime moment and I did not like it!!!! That would've been around 7 years old I believe.

1997...when I was 2. Whizzer at SFGAM. The other kiddie coaster wasn't built yet.

[mousch]

My first coaster was in 1979 and it was the Scenic Railway at Margate's Dreamland in Kent

I was 9. Five years ago. 'Twas the Big Bad Wolf

[coasterfan21]

My first coaster was the Polar Coaster at Story Land in New Hampshire when I was 4, but Superman ROS at SFNE got me hooked.

[Allena.k.a.Alan]

My first coaster is Dragon Fire at Canada's Wonderland. I rode it in 2007. Actually before when I was smaller, I've went on some kiddy coasters, but they don't really count since they're either unimportant or are not permenant.

October 7th, 1996. My 4th birthday. And my first trip to Walt Disney World.

 

It was the Barnstormer!

 

Funny note: For those who remember, when WDW turned 25, they decorated the castle so it looked like a giant birthday cake. I thought they did it just for my birthday!

[Electerik]

Space Mountain at Disneyland...maybe.

 

I do have a vague recollection of riding something distinctly toboggan-y, which might possibly have been before that.

I am 33 yrs old. My first coaster was Clown Coaster, now called Percy's Railway, at SFMM. My first non-kiddie coaster was Revolution. Both were in 1983, the year I visited SFMM and KBF with my parents for the first time.

[Steelinwood]

My first decent credit was either at Santa's Village on Rudy's Rapid Transit, or The polar coaster at storyland. My Parent's would also take me to BGE when I was little, but I couldn't go on anything. I also went on the dragon coaster at fairs.

[BudtheWeiser]

42 and my first was the looping star in margate easily my favourite mass produced coaster to this day

[Pirouettes907]

I'm 23 and my first coaster was Hersheypark's Comet when I was 6. I hated it and all I remember is looking down at my Little Mermaid shoes wishing the ride would end. But coasters continued to fascinate me, and soon enough that fear disappeared and I became the nerd that I am today .

I'm 18 and the first coaster I remember riding was Thunder Mountain at Disneyland. My first coaster was actually some kiddie coaster but I have no idea which one or where it was (and neither do my parents). I do know that I cried though.

[John Peck]

Im 36 and the first coaster I remember was the Little Dipper at Conneaut Lake. Other firsts were the Big Dipper and Cyclone at Geauga Lake.

 

I think I was too young to ride Geauga Lakes little Dipper, which was removed at the end of 1975

[AWill961]

I'm 19. The first roller coaster I think I rode was Jaguar (Knotts Berry Farm).

 

I was not tall enough to ride Montezuma's Revenge.

 

 

I don't know what year this was...probably 1996 or 1997. Anyways, I remember my uncle took me to Six Flags Magic Mountain in 1998 and I wasn't tall enough to ride the two premier rides at the time, Batman: The Ride or Riddler's Revenge. lol.

[Screamin_Eagle]

I am 45, the first actual coaster I ever rode was the River King Mine train at Six Flags over mid America (SFSTL). I was 8 years old, it was the removed "B" side, and I remember it scared the heck out of me.

 

after that the next coaster I rode was 4 years later when the Screamin Eagle opened at the park. Loved that coaster so much, it still to this day is my all time top favorite wooden coaster, and I usually ride it 40-60 times a season!

[ArizonaGuy]

I'm 33 and my first rollercoaster was Mini Mine Train at SFoT. My first big kid coaster was XLR-8 at SFAW in 1984. And just for grins and giggles....first looping coaster was Viper at SFAW in 1990.

[VegasGreg19]

I am now 39. The first coaster I rode was Gemini at Cedar Point. I was 9 years old and scared to death! The next year I really got into it and rode Gemini, Corkscrew and the Blue Streak! That started what has been an addiction to coasters.

[KDcoasterMAN]

I was 6 when I rode my first coaster, Scooby Doo's Ghoster Coaster, at Kings Dominion. Never really gotten into coasters until riding my first looping coaster, Shockwave, at age twelve.
