DILinator Posted August 17, 2015 Posted August 17, 2015 My recollection is a little fuzzy on this topic, but I believe it was the Screamer at Boblo Island. I still remember that first ride I was brave enough to ride it, and the terror/excitement of the ride. It's still one of my most visceral memories from my younger years. It was a night ride too, FWIW... There's a chance it was Corkscrew at Deer Park Funland (MiA) as well, but I do think Screamer came first. Corkscrew at Cedar Point would have been my third coaster with an inversion...
K1ngdaKa88 Posted August 17, 2015 Posted August 17, 2015 My first coaster with inversions was Magic Mountain at Gardaland in 2011.
ALT2870 Posted August 17, 2015 Posted August 17, 2015 Wildfire at SDC (When I realized it wasn't worth the $20 to hold out on never riding an inverting coaster the rest of my life. )
Woodie Warrior Posted August 17, 2015 Posted August 17, 2015 Ninja at SFSTL. I was never too worried about inversions as a kid, so I kept waiting and waiting to hit that 48" mark.
I305forever Posted August 17, 2015 Posted August 17, 2015 Dominator at KD. I was a badass 8 year old.
mike541x Posted August 17, 2015 Posted August 17, 2015 Rock N' Roller Coaster at the then MGM Studios, 1999. I was about 6 or 7, the ride was brand new and had no idea what it did besides the fact it "went upside down". I still have the on ride picture to this day.
Coaster19 Posted August 17, 2015 Posted August 17, 2015 I believe my first with an inversion was Dragon at Adventureland in Des Moines, IA
Marcio Posted August 17, 2015 Posted August 17, 2015 Monte Makaya @ Terra Encantada (closed nowadays )
boldikus Posted August 17, 2015 Posted August 17, 2015 Sea Serpent (boomerang) @ Morey's, summer of '85. Making that height requirement was my whole life that year.
CW5X Posted August 17, 2015 Posted August 17, 2015 My first was Tsunami at M&D's in Scotland. Took me ages to build up the courage for it and then I finally went on it. I loved it but then I got scared of it again for some reason and didn't go it on for another couple of years. And it's so small...
michaellynn4 Posted August 17, 2015 Posted August 17, 2015 Viper @ SFGAdv. I didn't know any better. Luckily it didn't scare me off completely.
Mr.Peabody Posted August 17, 2015 Posted August 17, 2015 The Python, Busch Gardens The Dark Continent, August 1978.
coasterkid124 Posted August 17, 2015 Posted August 17, 2015 Viper at Darien Lake. Also my first big coaster.
Canobie Coaster Posted August 17, 2015 Posted August 17, 2015 Rock "n" Roller Coaster way back in 2000. That was also my first launched coaster. The ironic part is that I had no problem riding that, but was scared to death by Honey I Shrunk the Audience (didn't want to be shrunk as I thought that I actually would) or Tower of Terror (didn't want to become a real ghost).
Vtafro Posted August 17, 2015 Posted August 17, 2015 Python at Busch Gardens Tampa was my first inverting coaster, with SooperDooperLooper at Hersheypark being my first coaster with a "loop".(if i remember correctly)
HowieP Posted August 17, 2015 Posted August 17, 2015 The first ever with inversions Corkscrew at Michigan's Adventure. The first with vertical loops ironically enough was also an Arrow: Dragon Mountain at Marine Land in Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada.
