RollingCoasting Posted July 9, 2017 Posted July 9, 2017 First one was Superman: Ultimate Flight at SFGAm, precisely 5 years ago today. Still haven't been on a Dive, Sit-down, Giga, Floorless, or Stand-Up
ytterbiumanalyst Posted July 9, 2017 Posted July 9, 2017 Invert: Batman, Six Flags over Mid-America, 1995 Sit-Down: Wildfire, Silver Dollar City, 2001 Floorless: Superman Krypton Coaster, Six Flags Fiesta Texas, 2004 Flying: Superman Ultimate Flight, Six Flags Great America, 2014 Hyper: Raging Bull, Six Flags Great America, 2014 Wing: X-Flight, Six Flags Great America, 2014 Launched: Thunderbird, Holiday World, 2015 Dive: Valravn, Cedar Point, 2016 Stand-Up: Riddler's Revenge, Six Flags Magic Mountain, 2016 Giga is the only model of theirs I haven't ridden yet, but that's just a matter of time. SGF-CLT airfare is pretty cheap.
WillMontu Posted July 10, 2017 Posted July 10, 2017 For me it would be Kumba, circa 1997. I enjoyed some of the more thrilling rides, but I was not quire ready for anything with inversions. I go to ride Python (and you would think being an old Arrow it would turn me off, but not so). Went on Kumba, loved it (and got the on-ride photo), and then rode Montu. In 1999, I rode Oblivion (and of course Nemesis) at Alton Towers (dive machine), 2000 was Kraken (floorless), 2006 was Georgia Scorcher, Goliath, and Superman at SFOG (stand-up, hyper, and flying), 2012 was Wild Eagle at Dollywood, and 2015 was Fury at Carowinds I'm in the back, second from the left.
blk_mamba Posted July 10, 2017 Posted July 10, 2017 Great Bear @ Hershey Park. That ride began my love affair with roller coasters!
DoinItForTheFame Posted July 10, 2017 Posted July 10, 2017 Still Wildfire at SDC... Not going to lie though... If I recall correctly it was a bit bouncy.

Nrthwnd Posted July 12, 2017 Posted July 12, 2017 Flight Deck in California's Great America.* 1995 *When it was known as "Top Gun in Marriott's Great America".
JT325 Posted July 12, 2017 Posted July 12, 2017 Iron Wolf, 1990. I put down my crutches (sprained ankle) to ride that! And then went on a long ass trip with friends to ACE coaster con. Great times! And despite what you may hear, Iron Wolf was AWESOME when brand new. It was crazy good. Then everything went to pieces in the next few years. Kind of like lots of (mostly wooden) coasters of the 90s. I hold those early experiences very near and dear!
Yubstep101 Posted July 24, 2017 Posted July 24, 2017 Well my first B&M was X-Flight like I mentioned, here the other first B&Ms I've ridden. Wing: X-Flight (like I said, it was my first overall) Invert: Batman The Ride,SFGAM Floorless: Bizarro,SFGADV Stand-Up: Green Lantern, SFGADV Flying: Superman Ultimate Flight SFGAM Hyper: Raging Bull, SFGAM Haven't gone on a Sit-Down, a Dive, a Family coaster, or a Giga. Hopefully that changes soon.
prozach626 Posted July 24, 2017 Posted July 24, 2017 Batman the Ride at Six Flags St. Louis, in the summer of 1995.
