Mickey_079 Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 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.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luka Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 My first inverted coaster was actually my first ever coaster. It was corkscrew at playland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sccoasterfan Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 My first coaster was alslo my first inverted coaster. It was the Corkscrew that used to reside at The Pavillion in Myrtle Beach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bolliger&Mabillard Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterstud522 Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 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.

MixedDrink Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 ^ That is totally a clone of Silver Streak! Sorry for the crappy photo, it's surprisingly hard to find a photo of Silver Streak! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.C. Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 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...  Photo Credit: Joel Rodgers RCDB.com  My first coaster with inversions should have been at SFDK, but I was too scared of them every time we went there....

digidude18 Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 My first inverting coaster ride was Stealth at Paramounts Great America, now California's Great America of course. Â 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 I miss you little buddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomNick Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pyrra Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revilolee Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 My first was the first with 4 inversions Carolina Cyclone at Carowinds  Mines too. Still good after all these years . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlibBlab Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coast man Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 Mine was the old Tidal Wave at Paramounts Great America. Unfortunately, the ride is now gone, as it could still be one of the best in the park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STR8FXXXINEDGE Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 Mine was Corkscrew at Cedar Point in 1987 I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halltd Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 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. Â Too bad I refuse to ride it anymore because it's so rough. ha ha!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terror-Penguin Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 Mine was Corkscrew, but not at Cedar Point, it was at Flamingoland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
