What was your first coaster with inversions?

[deguy123]

Batman the Ride at Great Adventure. Waited 3 hours (its first year) and was really nervous but then afterwards wanted to go on GASM...lol..

[Sir Clinksalot]

Corkscrew at Knott's.

Corkscrew at Cedar Point

Complete with 3 inversions, sexy Arrow track, supports, and trains, and a cherry on top

Mine was the Chicago Loop (now the Canobie Corkscrew) at Old Chicago Amusement park. That was in 1975.

Mine was the King Kobra at KD back in '84. Pretty intimidating to me at the time.

Schwarzkopf Shuttle Loopness

Mine was Corkscrew, one of the original Vekoma Corkscrew with bayencurve, 1981 Ital Park, Argentina.

 

 

(the coaster was relocated to Beto Carrero World in Brazil, where it still operates. The pic is from its new location, thanks RCDB)

I think mine was Mindbender at SFOG. Not too shabby.

[ScottBrown]

Tidal Wave at what was then MGA

[GURZU]

Tornado the intamin Inverted Coaster of Parque d´Atracciones Madrid

My first coaster with inversions was Batman: The Ride at Six Flags Great Adventure! Its all I could talk about the rest of the day. Amazing.

[Rollerholden]

Kong at Six Flags Marine World. It's a Vekoma SLC, and I remember it scared the crap out of me! I remember hating it after, and being all mad at my dad for taking me on it. (I was 8.) I have no idea why I decided to go on it again, along with others. But now, I totally have a thing for the SLCs!

[Top Thrill Dragster]

The Loch ness Monster.

My first coaster with inversions was...

¡A SLC! (What a sensation...)

It Was Tizona in Terra Mítica, I was 9 years old, and I remember that I was very ill

What a funny moments... Now I rode 10 Times that coaster and I feel the same

[GMAN962]

Viper, Magic mountain... although it is still a fun ride.

[vjgx]

Although I already posted it earlier, my first looping coaster was Viper at SFMM.

 

 

But I didn't like that all that much. Headache-inducing sensory overload, seeing as that was my quick transition from coasterphobic to have-ridden-a-coaster.

 

The first looping coaster that I actually liked, and which also got rid of my (even more heightened after Viper) fear of roller coasters, was The Riddler's Revenge!

 

 

B&M Goodness!

[Chaddyboy]

the original Batman the Ride at SFGam

[VegasCoaster]

 

My first real coaster too. I was a late bloomer but made up for a lot of lost time. A lot of spare time.

[timberterror]

I am so sad to say this......Windjammer at Knott's. My daughter rode her first looper this year on Sooperdooperlooper at Hersheypark.

[Sparebear75]

Mine was Boblo Island's Screamer back in 1986, it was one of those rough Vekoma corkscrew models. I think it's at Playland in Vancouver now.

[grinch1313]

Mine was the Whirlwind at Knoebels in about 1993.

[thomas2]

My first inversion was in Vampire, the SLC of Walibi Belgium back in 2004

This was my first inversion ever

[NitroRider]

Two Face:The Flip Side. I hated it. It was horrible. I hated it. Then I hated my brother for making me go on it. My first coaster with an actuall sitdown, non-inverted loop was Sooperdooperlooper.

[bdstrom]

Mine was the Corkscrew at Valleyfair! when I was about 8 years old. I remember how awesome it was and I made my aunt ride it 53,314 times with me that day.

 

It's amazing how years of coaster riding made this coaster seems like nothing.

Corkscrew at Valleyfair!
