Damn, I forgot I was really REALLY in a 'minority' here, age-wise.

 

But hey - two TPR Tours down (UK'06 & Japan'07) and probably many, many more to take, ahead of me, hee hee.

 

 

(EDIT: Um, first coaster was most-likely a kiddie coaster "way back when," back in the 50's. )

Wait.

 

I was there, too.

 

 

She's getting more credits in one year, than I would in my entire childhood.

 

 

But still - CONGRATULATIONS KT - you little screaming charmer.

I was seven when I rode my first coaster. It was the little dipper at Americana also known as Lesourdsville Lake.

 

Hey! I used to live in Centerville and remember the adds for Americana and Fantasy Farm very well. Was looking at what remains of those parks just a couple days ago on the net. Also noticed Malibu Grand Prix is not around Dayton Mall any more. Still have my Mini-Virage Racing License from 1987. Trippy!!!

 

Ok, back on topic now...

I'm 27. I'll be 28 on Dec 3rd.

 

If I remember correctly, I think Matterhorn might be the first coaster to have steel track.

 

Add the word "tubular" in front of "steel track" and you're right!

 

 

My first coaster was 1972. Dexter Frebish's Electric Roller Ride (later renamed Excalibur) at Astroworld (later renamed Astroworld:A Member of the Six Flags Family, then renamed Six Flags Houston, then Six Flags Astroworld).

 

My first woodie was 1976, Texas Cyclone.

 

The picture: Me and my cousin Larry just before my very first coaster ride. We got me the Gilligan hat so I could make the height requirement!
