verticalzero Posted December 3, 2007 Posted December 3, 2007 The wonderful "Corkscrew" at AT was my 1st looping coaster, this was back in the 80's when it was just as rough as today. We love "Vekoma".

geekgrrl Posted December 3, 2007 Posted December 3, 2007 My first coaster with inversions was Thunderbolt Express (AKA KI's Demon) at Camden Park in Huntington, WV. I was soooooo scared of it too, but I think I ended up riding it like 5 times that day.

Jojo19799 Posted December 13, 2007 Posted December 13, 2007 Demon @ SFGAM. I've been in love with it ever since.
Adrenaline_Rush Posted December 13, 2007 Posted December 13, 2007 Heres my story for my first ride. I went to IOA and was to scared to ride Hulk and my family wanted to get me on a looping coaster, so I walked with them around the park and we get to DD. I say okay well atleast its not as bad as Hulk and found myself waiting in a skull filled line to get on this ride. I get on and start panicking as we reach the top we drop and go through the fire side of the ride. Eventually riding Hulk later and finding that DD Fire was worse in scaryness ratings. So Dueling Dragons Fire. Extra add on story about my friend... He would ride DD all the time and the line was short and it was about six o clock so we were like the only ones on, we raced back through the re ride doors (when they still had them) and kept going on and on, he said okay well I think Im ready for Hulk because his adrenaline was pumping, I said awesome, and we ran across the park, he almost chickened out in line and there was no line for front row, and we went and wow the look on his face after it was holy cow lets ride again, and we ended up riding four more times until he got me on Dr. Doom for the first time~!
GuruGuys Posted December 14, 2007 Posted December 14, 2007 Greezed Lightnin' at SFAW when I was about 10 years old in 1984. -GG
coolhandluke Posted December 15, 2007 Posted December 15, 2007 Rock N' Roller Coaster @ MGM. On the ride I couldn't really tell when I was upside-down, but they said I was.
Rocket Rodder Posted March 9, 2008 Posted March 9, 2008 California Screamin' at Disney's California Adventure.
Force 310 Posted March 9, 2008 Posted March 9, 2008 Double Loop at Geauga Lake. Before I rode it, I was terrified of going upside-down. Actually riding Double Loop was one of the most anticlimactic things I've ever done.
Hand 0f Time Posted March 9, 2008 Posted March 9, 2008 You guessed it. Mindbender at SFoG. First coaster I rode with inversions. I was I think 6 years old when I first rode it.
newrollercoasterlover17 Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 Hmm... I faintly remember going on the Great American Scream Machine at Six Flags Great Adventure, when I was seven years old (around 1997-1998). I remember looking out to the right of me and seeing the world rotate around on the first loop. It was one of the best moments of my life. The memory was renewed when I went on The Incredible Hulk Coaster at Islands of Adventure in 2006. Feeling the wind blow in my face and being pushed into and out of my seat was exhilarating.
NINCUB Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 Mind Bender SFOG! I was about 12?! I was a chicken and it took all I had to ride it for the first time and had to ride it alone! That was a revelation for me. I was like whoa! That was the coolest thing ever. So of course MB is like one of my fav coasters. It is like so old... but still kicks arse!
