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

[Coastermontu]

My frist rollercoaster was Montu at Busch Gardens Tampa it was fun

[Xxcrazzy_goodxX]

My first coaster was Superman Ride of Steel at SFDL when I was 7--I'm 13 now.

[SLUSHIE]

I don't Really know what my very first coaster was. It was probably Space Mountain or Big Thunder Mountain (probably not space tho because I can kinda remeber being afraid to ride it). That or Wacky Soap Box Racers at Knotts.

 

My first coaster with an inversion was Canyon Blaster at the Adventure Dome in Las Vegas.

Age 31 (going on 12). My first coaster, IIRC, was the Comet Junior at Lincoln Park, (North) Dartmouth, MA. I don't remember much about it other than it was wood and I didn't much care for it at the time. A few years later, sure. By then, the park and its coasters sadly became defunct. Never did ride the Comet.

 

As a side note, I could have sworn that the thing ran what I would recall to be PTC trains with seat dividers (?). Odd, as it was the mid-80s, and the Comet itself ran NADs. Faulty memory or oddball trains? Until I meet someone else who's ridden Comet Jr., I'll never know.

Damn, well congrats to you! My first coaster (when I was 7) was BTMR at Magic Kingdom (WDW) and I almost pissed my pants. I can't even IMAGINE going on Superman for my first coaster at that age!

You sure planned that well! The only date, according to your profile, you were able to ride S:RoS when you were 7 years old, was opening day. The day after, was your eighth birthday!

It was 1973, I was 9 years old and my first coaster was the "River king Mine train" at Six Flags over Mid America, then in 1976 they opened the

Screamin Eagle, went the day it opened with my sister, waited 3 1/2 hours to ride it, and it was awesome! I was hooked on coasters from that point on...

[Krazykral10]

I was three and it was 1993 when is got on the Sooper Jet at Trimpers in Ocean City, MD

[coasterdad]

first coaster was matterhorn when I was 5.

[nursemelis374]

I am 27 and my first coaster was either Corkscrew or Space Mountain. My parents pretty much made us go on every ride as soon as we were tall enough. I felt super special because just my dad and I got to go on it and my mom and little brother had to wait!

[wamme]

i'm 19 years.

 

my first coaster was "Air Race". http://www.rcdb.com/ig915.htm?picture=1

It's a hell of a good VEKOMA

I was attracted by the planes, but we got screaming when they started swinging in the turnes (later we got to know it's perfectly normal for a suspended one)

First was WDW's Space Mountain. I spent a lot of time cringing away from the more "grown up" coasters during the rest of my misspent youth (in fact, I chickened out of Loch Ness Monster and Big Bad Wolf when I was 14. I can't imagine being intimidated by Loch Ness Monster today). I didn't cross over into the big league until a trip to SFOG had me on GASM and Mindbender (there wasn't a whole lot else there worth talking about at the time - it was, I believe, the summer of 1990).

 

The only thing I won't ride today? Scramblers. Shut up, kids. You'll get old one day too.

[BarryH]

I think I was 15 in high school and rode Scorpion at BGT. I was so scared! 8)

[harsaphes]

[BuffaloCoastin]

I'm 15 for another 3 months...

My first coaster was the Predator (notorious for the gum all over the queue) when I was I think 8 or 9. And oh, what a road it's been...

[twistedmickey]

My first coaster was Space Mountain at Disney World. I am currently 35 but act 21... sometimes younger when I am at WDW.

[ScottBrown]

Lets first coasters I divide into a few groups

 

First Coaster Jet Stars at SCBB

First Big Coaster Whizzer at PGA

First Looper Tidal Wave at PGA

First Wooden Giant Dipper at SCBB

 

As far as how old I was well it was as soon as I was tall enough and my parrents could get me on them so I would say I was pretty young.

Williams Grove Cyclone- I wonder why I still love coasters?

[Steel Phantom]

I'm 30...

First coaster was the Screem Machine (AKA Jack Rabbit) on the Wildwood, NJ boardwalk back in 1978. Unfortunately, it hasn't been around since the mid-80s.

[Noemi]

I was 13..it was Sierra Tonante in Mirabilandia..Italy..it was one of the tallest wooden coaster in Europe when it was built!!!!..(ehehe..only 36 meters!! )..

[Marko]

I'm 43, first coaster was the Matterhorn at age 5. Most vivd first coaster memory was the Cyclone at the now long defunct Excelsior Amusement Park in MN, around age 10. Haven't experienced a first drop like that since, scared the heck out of me. Sadly I only rode it once.

[J man]

I'm not exactly sure what my first coaster was. It was either the Matterhorn or Space Mountain. I can't remember though. I was like 6 or 7 at the time.

[hankertw]

The comet in Coney Island about 1938 - 1940. It was right next to the CYCLONE; At the time, it was a great ride. Coney Island had the Comet, Bobsled, Thunderbolt, Torando and of course the CYCLONE.

The CYCLONE is still a great ride.
