Immel Man Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 I may have said Batman: The Ride in another thread, but now that I think about it, my first inverting coaster was Canyon Blaster at Circus Circus Adventuredome. I believe I also rode Manhattan Express before B:TR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canobie Fan Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 My first looping coaster was the Canobie Corkscrew in 1990-1991 just because of lack of other looping coasters in the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

viking86 Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 My first looping coaster was Speed Loop, a Pinfari looping coaster that came with a fair in Bergen, Norway. It was also my first non-kiddie coaster. Horrible rough ride that hurt my ears. Heres some pics of the ride at a fair in Dublin: http://www.themeparks.ie/fairs/2004fund/speed1.htm http://www.themeparks.ie/fairs/2004fund/speed2.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RctInfinity Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 Rock 'n' RollerCoaster is a great start for getting used to inversions! (Although I love inversions) I have to say that my first inverting coaster is, in fact, Rock 'n' RollerCoaster! Real RnR! (I took this myself when I was just getting used to my digital camera) Fake RnR.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
