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

[DougMJr]

I think my first was "brain teaser" at Darien Lake.

My first coaster was Rolling Thunder at Six Flags Great Adventure. It's not that bad, it gives a good ride. It's just really, really rough. Some re-tracking and it would be good as new, that or RM Iron Horse track.

My first roller coaster was The Revolution at SFMM. Ironically, I remember watching a recording of the "30 Roller coasters in 24 Hours" world record documentary over a gazillion times, and their 30th roller coaster was The Revolution. Every time I watched The Revolution go, I would always say "how crazy it was and how I would never go on it" to myself... Instead it ended up being my first roller coaster at age 7!

My first coaster was Scorpion at BGT, which is ironic since "Scorps" are my school's mascot!

That's not irony, that's coincidence.

 

Oh my god, I keep mixing up those two words. I did the same thing last week. Thanks!

I am told I rode a coaster at a fair before any major theme parks, but I would probably say it was Wild Maus at BGW.

My first roller coaster was the Rollo Coaster at Idlewild Park. I was two years old at the time.

My first roller coaster was The Beastie at PKI. I will never forgive the name change, although I will still go to the park.

Mine was Dragons Apprentice at Legoland Windsor, but my fist proper one was Vampire at Chessington

First coaster that I can remember was the little Bradley and Kaye ride at Beverly Park Kiddieland in Los Angeles. (First dark ride was there, too!)

 

First "real" coaster? Disneyland's Matterhorn Bobsleds, baby. Still a favorite.

My first coaster was the Serpent at six flags Astroworld.

Same here. And I agree on all counts.

My first coaster was the Matterhorn at Disneyland when I was five. I remember riding it and being terrified, but that has changed now!

[MayTheGForceBeWithYou]

My first real coaster was probably Space Mountain at Disneyland after 1998 Tomorrowland reopened; it may have been Jaguar at Knott's (when its height requirement was 42"), but I'm not totally sure.

 

As for age, it's in my info.

[ThePortableShrine]

My first coaster was Thunder Mountain at Disneyland Paris when i was about 3 or 4. My first looping coaster was a coaster at Drayton Manor called the Python when i was 8. It was took out a few years ago for G-Force.

Some zyklone on the jersey shore...

[Oreos]

I am five, but I see no option for my age. Oh well, tally pip!

[megamatt]

I was 6, and it was the Yankee Cannonball at CLP. I LOVED it! It really was what got me obsessed with amusement parks.

[ilrider]

Whizzer at SFGAm at the age of 4.

Scooby Doo coaster at Kings Dominion...age 9.

[Austin11KD]

Scooby Doo Ghoster Coaster at Kings Dominion when I was 2

[Kafka]

Screaming Eagle- Six Flags STL, I was six. The ride really scared me and i didnt ride coasters again until i was 18. After the years of not riding, the ride that got me hooked was Batman the Ride at the same park.
