Also, there is a waterslide with a drop taller than anything at Canobie Lake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philthephorce Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 Corkscrew @ Geauga Lake in '86. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nannerdw Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 My first was Chang. I was surprisingly calm and relaxed on the ride. I really loved the pop of airtime between the inclined loop and the turn up to the MCBR. The only real coaster I had been on before that was Twisted Twins.

Canobie Fan Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 FBy the way, there is some INSANE airtime on the Yankee Cannonball. Woo... even after going on 299 other coasters I still love Cannonball ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapseofreason Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 I think it was the same as my first coaster... again, the corkscrew at Geauga Lake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathmole Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 It was the Corkscrew at Flamingo Land if I remember rightly, jippe! Vekoma sexy-ness! (Pic from RCDB, cheers to them). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterboy76 Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 My first looping coaster was the one in the picture below, but when I rode it, it was a light blue color, it was located at Six Flags St. Louis, and it was called the Jetscream... although it was a fun coaster, it didn't last long at all before it was removed to make room for a silly dance club, then it became the station for Batman the Ride...

Meenolman Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 Revolution, in 1976. I was 10. Scared the pee outa me. (Remember the theme song? "It'll knock your little socks flat off!") (There was a small observation deck under the loop, VERY close. It had a sign that said, "Watch out for flying socks!" Just remembered that while singing the song.) Here's a pic from 1979: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy Hill Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 "The turn of the century" (now significantly modified and renamed "The Demon") at Marriots Great America (now Paramounts Great America) in Santa Clara, CA. I rode it in 1976, the year it opened. I'm not really sure that the addition of vertical loops to "The Demon" was necessarily an improvement. I liked "Willard's Wizzer" more though. I still miss that ride. It was awesome. They also used to have this three-armed ferris wheel type ride (I forget the name of it) that was really cool. I miss that one too.

robbeal Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 First looping coaster was Space Mountain: Mission 1 at DLRP. It was my first coaster of any sort, and also my first launch, all rolled into one nice little package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy T. Koepp Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 my first loop was the first loop. REVOLUTION at sfmm Yes, May 10th 1976. When it was called "The Great American Revolution" I was 9 years old. No shoulder restraints, no seat belts. Just lap bars... as God himself intended it to be. Guy"That was 30 years ago!
