My first coaster was either GGC or Matterhorn at 4 years old. Good times...

I was actually 7 when I first rode "The Demon" at CGA.

Matterhorn and I was probably about 5 or 6. I'l have to pull out my Mom's photo albums some day!

6, Loch Ness Monster. I love the picture I got, I was scrunched up cause of the positive G's, I still do to this day.

[ScottBrown]

I group it into two sets My first roller coaster other than kiddie coasters was the Jet Stars at SCBB and my first large roller coaster was the Whizzer once at CGA and my first looping coaster was the Tidal Wave once at CGA . . . SCHWARZKOPF POWER !!!!!

[Someotherguyuser]

I'm 19 and the first coaster experience I remember was the Gadget's go-Coaster at Disneyland.

[francisco1998]

I am 13 years old and I'm from Spain.

 

I don't remember exactly in what year (aproximately 2002), but my first coaster was the defunct coaster "Las Cumbres" at Parque de atracciones de Madrid, Spain.

 

My first looping coaster was Superman: Ride of Steel, here "Superman: La atracción de acero" at Parque Warner also in Madrid.

I remember it was in 2005. I was only 7 years old, it was my birthday and when I realized I was in a 7 inversion floorless coaster, it was very late!! When I had ridden it and I saw my photo-ride, I started to laugh and laugh and I couldn't stop. My face was saying it all. I was very scared!! xD

My first coaster was the Comet at the now defunct Fontaine Ferry Park in Louisville, Kentucky. Built by the Philadelphia Toboggan Co., the Comet operated from 1951 until the park closed in 1969, and featured a 90-foot first drop and 3,800 feet of track. Great ride, responsible for my love of coasters to this day.

[wildbillmak]

43 years young and my first coaster was the now defunct Flyer and Toronto Ontario, Canada's CNE (Canadian National Exhibition) when I was about 10

[ugaman15]

My first coaster was Mindbender at SFOG when i was 10 in 2004. Schwarzkopf GREATNESS!!!!!

[SuperBuckalew]

My first coaster was Wacky Worm at Worlds of Fun. But my first large scale coaster was Orient Express, also at Worlds of Fun. Rest in peace you sexy red Arrow.

[Dragon Khan]

I'm now 37 and my first ever was Boomerang @ Bellewaerde Park when it was inaugurated in 84 (I was ten, you're good at maths !) . Advantage of starting on a Vekoma (if you enjoy it) is that almost all coasters to follow promise to be better And indeed, I was in for a revelation when the next 2 were Schwarzkopfs ! (Looping Star and Sirocco)

I don't know if I posted here before. Though, I thought Woodstock Express (CGA) was my first coaster, but it actually is Taxi Jam (CGA) as my first coaster at an age or around 3 - 6.
