Well mine was The Demon at Australia's Wonderland... Year 2004... how pathetic and embarrassing it took me that long to ride a coaster, its what made me fall in love with them

 

It would have to be the smoothest Boomerang I have ever ridden. Now lives at Visionland as the Zoomerang.

I was 10. It was my first time at Magic Mountain. I rode Viper because it was the first thing you walk into if you go up the first hill. Damn good ride then, and even better now that my head comes over the OSTR's, so no more

Carolina Cyclone, first with upside-downers

 

If you mean inverted coaster, like Alpengeist. Then it's Runaway Reptar.

First inverted coaster. A Vekoma (Carowinds loves vekoma for some reason) family coaster.

SCARY!!! Not, it's an Arrow headbanger, but it one of the better ones in my opinion.

My first roller coaster with inversions was Vortex at what was Paramount's Great America. I was about 10 and we were there for their Girl Scout day with my sister. It was cool, because the park wasn't very busy. I got on everything except Stealth, because I was too scared of the flying position...

My first coaster with inversions should have been at SFDK, but I was too scared of them every time we went there....

My first inverting coaster ride was Stealth at Paramounts Great America, now California's Great America of course.

 

I am always amazed that my first inverting coaster was a Vekoma flyer rather than the nearby Demon which would have been a more milder choice in my opinion. Too bad Stealth isn't there anymore

At 11 years old, my first coaster with inversions was the Laser Loop at Kennywood, a ride that previously scared the living crap out of me!! It was in its last year, so I figured I could "brave it". Ended up taking 4 spins on it that day, and loved every one of them.

Dragon Fire at CW. I was 9 and it was the BEST coaster I'd ever remembered riding, even though my first coaster was "The Ghoster Coaster" in the same park when I was 4 (unaccompanied) because I'd had such a great time the first run with me mummers.

It's faster than it looks

Mine was the Twin Looper at American Adventure here in the UK. It was NOT a smooth ride but I think I was small enough to avoid too much pain. Only other looping ride there was a Vekoma Boomerang and it gave me the confidence in loops to ride that beast

Corkscrew at Cedar Point. I have no idea when this was, but I definitely remember standing on the midway, looking at the HUGE first drop and crying my eyes out. But, I loved it when it was done.

 

Too bad I refuse to ride it anymore because it's so rough. ha ha!!
