Your First B&M Coaster?

[blk_mamba]

My first B&M and my first roller coaster that went upside down was the Great Bear @ Hershey Park. Great Bear isn't filled with sand so it is very loud, you can hear it 'roar' as it runs through the park. The Immelmann Loop is so well placed because it runs right up against the pathway as you go through that part of the park so one has no choice but to see and hear the ride.

 

To this day it is one of my favorite B&M's because of that spaghetti bowl Hershey Park has created b/c of their hilly topography, limited space and commitment to building world class rides. The majority of the ride feels like it is trying to avoid other rides and sections of the the park. Also the helix before the pre-drop is still a crowd pleaser.

Either Scream @ SFMM or Batman: TR @ SFOT

I can't remember the exact date in the 90's, so it was either Alpengeist or Great Bear.

[ShaneH]

Raptor or Mantis at CP

[SFOGdude25]

Mine was either Georgia Scorcher or Batman at SFOG some time in 2001. I think I rode both for the first time on the same visit, just can't remember which one I rode first.

This one... Nemesis (Alton Towers UK).

That's a good one! Nemesis was also my sister's first looping coaster. Ah, memories.

[Sythe]

[Mikxy]

Mine was Patriot, and I am no longer a B&M Virgin! I love their rides but Patriot is the only one I have ridden, lol.

[Imagineer Josh]

The original Batman clone or Iron Wolf I'm pretty sure...

[CoasterGypsy]

The Incredible Hulk - I remember being very surprised by the launch. It packed quite a punch for only being 40 mph.

[Khat26]

Kumba back in 1993. It was my first big coaster. Still one of the best.

[CoasterGuy06]

The Great White- Sea World San Antonio in 2002.

[Jedi_man]

Wildfire at silver dollar city was my first ever b&m! I was not into coasters at the time, and I was offered $20 if I rode it, and I am oh so glad I did!

[Gofannon]

Iron Wolf, early adopter I guess.

[B&MBoy1982]

All my "firsts" happened at Busch Gardens Tampa. That is why that park is so special to me.

 

In order:

 

Scorpion

Python

Kumba

Montu

Sand Serpent

SheiKra

 

So my first B&M was Kumba.

 

Check out those plates... (and that Kings Island tan line on my left leg.)....LOL

 

I did not list Gwazi because my first wooden coaster was Beast at Kings Island.

[CSLKennyNI]

Black Mamba at Phantasialand

[Jcoaster]

Batman the Ride at Great Adventure. I was terrified.
