sfmmrules! Posted March 29, 2008 Posted March 29, 2008 The Demon at PGA in 1993. I even have the ride picture too. My next one was Vortex! I remember my friend & I got to stay on for a second ride without getting off.
MonkeyPants Posted March 29, 2008 Posted March 29, 2008 My first inversion was actually a pretty funny story... When I was little, my family was at Cedar Point, and my dad pointed to the corkscrew part of Corkscrew and asked "Who wants to ride that one?" Â "Not me!" Â "No!" Â etc.. Â We were all afraid of going upside down. Â So we end up walking along Frontier Trail, and then back along Gemini. When we get to the Corkscrew station, he asks who wants to ride this one. None of us realized it was the same ride we all vehemently opposed riding a short while earlier. Needless to say, we found out soon enough!
ihani Posted July 24, 2008 Posted July 24, 2008 It stinks being 13 and being the only person in the famly who ISN'T afraid of rides  Me too! But... *cough* Um, my first looping coaster was the evil Pinfari Looping Thunder at Oaks Park. I was so scared of it. http://rcdb.com/ig339.htm I just kept my eyes closed, and afterward I said it was "fun" and stuff.
ihani Posted July 24, 2008 Posted July 24, 2008 And thankfully it was at the end of the day so I couldn't ride it again. But I will have to again on August 23rd (crap).
Jcoaster Posted July 24, 2008 Posted July 24, 2008 Mine was a Classic Arrow Mega Ouch Looper, The Great American Scream Machine. I was quite scared.
brossa Posted July 24, 2008 Posted July 24, 2008 Either Olympia Looping at Hannover fair or Big Loop at Heidepark, both in age of 7.
rcdude Posted July 24, 2008 Posted July 24, 2008 My first single inversion roller coaster was the Revolution at Six Flags Magic Mountain (Age 9). My first multi-inversion coaster was the Flight Deck at California's Great America (Age 12).
Nelis Posted July 24, 2008 Posted July 24, 2008 Python at Efteling. Vekoma rollercoaster, i was shocked
topthrillmaverick Posted July 24, 2008 Posted July 24, 2008 Hmmm, either the SuperDooperLooper at Hershey or the now defunct Whirlwind at Knoebels. I can't seem to remember which one was first because they were so close together
TheHulk Posted July 24, 2008 Posted July 24, 2008 Sheikra, but that only has one inversion. My first coaster with mutiple inversions was The Incredible Hulk.
kalvin Posted July 24, 2008 Posted July 24, 2008 Im suprised not that many people have said double loop at geauga lake i rode it in 2003.
Erik_73 Posted July 24, 2008 Posted July 24, 2008 Schwartzkopf Looping Star at Slagharen... Those early Schwartzkopf rides with only lapbar restraints still have a special place in my hart.
thrillgeek Posted July 24, 2008 Posted July 24, 2008 Kong @ SFDK. Standard SLC I was scared to death back then.
zjerre Posted July 24, 2008 Posted July 24, 2008 Python @ Efteling  4 inversions to start off scared me a bit but i liked it
tdtmf Posted July 24, 2008 Posted July 24, 2008 the Shockwave - Six Flags Over Texas! (1980 or so, maybe sooner)
Rollerman87 Posted July 25, 2008 Posted July 25, 2008 My first was the now defunct Windjammer at Knott's. Don't hardly even remember it.
Drumline99 Posted July 25, 2008 Posted July 25, 2008 Mine would be the Wabash Cannonball at Opryland! Â *Tear rolls down cheek* (Last known sitting in a field rusting away in Indianapolis! One of the trains however is used in a park in Europe as a Halloween decoration.)
HHN Dylan Posted July 25, 2008 Posted July 25, 2008 Ahh memories, my first coaster in general happens to be my first coaster with inversions. Â The Hulk at IOA. Been on hundreds of time since.
