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

[thrillgeek]

my 1st coaster I believe was Big Thunder Mountain Railroad at Disneyland. I was about 8 or 9 if I'm not mistaken.

[seasonpass_Doug]

29 years old and my first coaster was the Matterhorn at Disneyland (1983).

[DBru]

I turn 15 in FIVE DAYS(!), and I believe my first coaster was The Beastie (now Fairly Odd Coaster) at KI. I rode with my hands up the entire time...

I just turned 46 last week and the first coaster I ever rode was the Jack Rabbit at Kennywood and it scared the crap out of me. Thank you Jack Rabbit for introducing me to the fun of riding roller coasters.

28 now and the first coaster I really remember riding is Corkscrew at Alton Towers (Rust In Pieces) in 1988ish. Pretty sure I must have been on some wacky worms or other kiddie coasters before that on visits to the seaside etc but I have no real recollection of those.

Im 14.

 

Actually my first coaster was when I was 5 at Astroworld but I dont remember which one so im gonna go with my second one. I was 7 and I went on Revolution at Magic Mountain in 2001.

Im 15 right now and the 1st roller coaster I think i rode was a small Allen/herschell big dipper at a fair.

[dragonskeep]

38 and feeling every bit of it right now after a very long day. I am pretty surprised by the poll results, a lot of young folks.

My first coaster was The Double Loop at Geauga Lake, a moment of silence please. Thank you.

13 as of now, and I think my first major coaster was either the Wild Cat or the Coaster Thrill Ride, both at the Puyalup Fair in Western Washington.

I'm sure most people know about your typical Wildcat ride, but I have a couple of pics to give you an idea about CTR.

They name the trains. The yellow one's called Ol' Yeller. I forgot the name of the one that was parked, though...

CTR is the fair's woodie. Not bad, a great beginner with some airtime for

more fun!

First wooden coaster was Tree Topper at Upper Clements Park.

I think I may have been 7 or 8.

 

As for my first looping coaster, I think that would of been Incredible Hulk at IOA. In February

[Six Flags Enthuseast]

^Did you like it? Oh yeah, forgot to say my first looper! Probably Wild Thing at Wild Waves, basically Corkscrew with a loop after the drop and very intense brakes. It's also jade green with dark aqua supports.

[sfmmrules!]

My first coaster was Space Mountain at Disney World when I was 4. I cried because my mom cried & I also wet my pants! I love roller coasters today-especially the most intense ones like X2! I am 26.

[cycamps]

I was 12 and I rode American Eagle.

[the ghost]

The first roller coaster I remember was thunder mountain when I was like 5 but I may have had a traumatic experience with Matterhorn when I was younger. I still find that to be the scariest ride in the world and am still slightly scared of the yeti. My first looper was revolution at SFMM.

[The Disneylander]

I'm 17 years old; my first roller coaster was the Vekoma roller skater at Kumdori Land in Korea. And my first looper (I think) was Boomerang at KBF. Yeah, great choice, huh?

[BelizeIt]

I want of some type of coaster at Rocky Point in Rhode Island when I was 7, otherwise in 1980 I rode the Demon at 'Marriots' Great America.

So 29% of TPR is 12-15 and fully half are 18 and under?

 

Wow.

 

SOOOOOOOOO many questions, all answered so quickly.

 

 

[ginzo]

So 29% of TPR is 12-15 and fully half are 18 and under?

 

29% and half of the people that volunteered to take the survey, which is a self-selected group. The "proper" way to conduct is a survey is to randomly select people to participate in it. It's entirely possible that old people, like Jeff Johnson, are less likely to respond to an open survey like this.

^Did you like it?

 

Tree Topper was okay, but that's probably not what you mean.

Incredible Hulk was frickin' amazing!

[hobbit]

my first coaster was python in efteling,

my first B&M coaster is kraken in seaworld

[sugart]

Jack Rabbit @ Clemonton Park. Super Dooper Looper was my first looping coaster

[Kennyweird]

My first coaster was Lil' Phantom at Kennywood.

 

my first B&M coaster is kraken in seaworld

 

Same here, but it was also my first looping coaster.

[sccoasterfan]

My first coaster was the corkscrew at the now gone Myrtle Beach Pavillion in 1997 and I was 7 years old. I rode with my grandpa. Then I went and rode the red Galaxi right beside it. If anyone remembes these rides or has any pictures of them I would like to see a copy please.

my first roller coaster was the revolution, when

i was 6 or 7. Don't remember when exactly. I hated my mom for making me go on it then, but its all good nowadays, hahaha.

[robmiester]

I'm 16, and I don't remember what my absolute first coaster was, but my first major coaster was Ghostrider, which my mom dragged me on when I was 6. I cried the whole way. My first looper was the wonderful, headache-inducing Windjammer at Knotts when I was around 8. Needless to say, it kept me off looping coasters until my 13th birthday when I decided to go on Silver Bullet.
