TheStig Posted October 12, 2005 Posted October 12, 2005 Scorpion at BGT. You first has gotta be a Shwartzkopf or else your just slightly un-cool...Or I'm just slightly un-cool... Â Colin C
Pelydr Posted October 12, 2005 Posted October 12, 2005 It was Boomerang at KBF. Not the best way to start.
crispy Posted October 12, 2005 Posted October 12, 2005 Easy  Demon at PGA before it was PGA, when it was Marriots Great America
Teddymonster Posted October 12, 2005 Posted October 12, 2005 Anaconda at PKD, baby! Thanks to my cousin for coercing me onto it. Who knows what would have happened if she didn't...
HCOSurfer90 Posted October 12, 2005 Posted October 12, 2005 Mine was GASM at GADV in 1999, thanks to my dad who convinced me to go on haha.
CoasterCrazy88 Posted October 12, 2005 Posted October 12, 2005 My first was Windjammer at KBF. Â I went on it with my dad when I was 7 years old. 6 months later, I went on Revolution. Â Antonio"I'm the minority, but I REALLY miss Windjammer"G.
Stitch Posted October 12, 2005 Posted October 12, 2005 My first looping coaster was Vortex at Paramount's King's Island.
Firechaser Posted August 16, 2015 Posted August 16, 2015 Tennessee Tornado after my uncle talked me into riding it. My only problem was that I didn't brace my self so I had a sore neck and back for a week!
Sheikra5 Posted August 16, 2015 Posted August 16, 2015 SuperMan: Ultimate Flight at SF Great Adventure when I was 14 and what a terrible one it was. Didn't understand all inversions aren't like pretzel rolls! I would end up not riding a ride with an inversion till Montu at BGT a few years later. While I'll ride it, I still give Ultimate Flight the stink eye.
LuminousAphid Posted August 16, 2015 Posted August 16, 2015 I think it was the Wild Thing here in Federal Way, WA. It's an absolutely horrible Arrow loop & screw--it's just all wrong. The drop is the only enjoyable moment, and everything thereafter is absolute misery. The loop is taken so fast I struggled to keep my head upright, the corkscrews are super rough and require extreme defensive riding, and the transition into the final turn feels like being in a minor car crash. I don't know how to adequately describe my disdain for that machine, I rode it again recently and it's every bit as horrible as I remember. Somehow there are still long lines for it during the summer. Â The best part: they make you ride it twice. Really. They send it around twice to make sure you get your punishment in full.

Nyctophiliac Posted August 16, 2015 Posted August 16, 2015 Flight of Fear at Kings Dominion Hell, that was my first launch coaster and coaster with an inversion haha. Sensory overload!
Halogen Posted August 16, 2015 Posted August 16, 2015 Rock n Roller coaster at WDW. Honestly a really underrated ride.
rctneil Posted August 16, 2015 Posted August 16, 2015 Corkscrew at Sea World Australia for me. Odd I know but it was!
amroberts Posted August 16, 2015 Posted August 16, 2015 Revolution at SFMM when I was 6. There were no otsr, just a lap bar. When we went through the loop, I leaned forward instead of back, and the forces folded my body in half with my head between my knees. It hurt so much, but I wanted to ride again. I tried to ride Viper (it had just opened), but was about an inch too short. Went back when I was 7 and rode it and loved it.
