alilstronger Posted January 11, 2011 Posted January 11, 2011 ^ Mine, too! Gosh, and it felt like such a huge deal to me at the time--especially once I finally worked up the nerve to put my hands up through the loop (that didn't happen for quite a few rides!). Still a quality ride, too. Couldn't agree with you more!
the wolverine Posted January 11, 2011 Posted January 11, 2011 Tennessee Tornado, when that thing was still a baby.
MagnumUnlimited Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 Vortex- Kings Island, I loved it so much I wasted a whole day just riding it.
MayTheGForceBeWithYou Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 Montezooma's Revenge at Knott's.
downunder Posted January 13, 2011 Posted January 13, 2011 Probably Thunderbolt at Dreamworld, at least that would be the first that didn't back back into a trailer. A portable looper at Sydney Royal Easter Show would have been the very first. And my first looping coaster overseas - Dragon at Ocean Park, Hong Kong. First in the USA - Viper at SFMM.
xChris125x Posted January 13, 2011 Posted January 13, 2011 Kennywood's Steel Phantom. Not a bad way to start.
samisthabomb Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 I'm pretty sure it was Rock 'n Roller Coaster at WDW. I rode it once, and decided to go again a few days later. Right before they dispatched the train, I freaked out and told them to let me off! I guess once was enough for me I think I was around 7.
Luke_A Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 Nemesis Inferno at Thorpe Park was my first coaster with inversions. On that day i rode Nemesis Inferno, Stealth, Saw: The Ride, X:\NWO. So i could probably say that Nemesis Inferno started my coaster loving craze!
eddie200330 Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 Way back in time, in the early 80's, as a very young boy my dad drug me on the Loch Ness Monster. I was shittin my pants, and shakin when I got off that thing. I vowed never to ride another coaster in my life and pretty much fulfilled that promise the rest of the day. I was afraid to get on anything else because of that feeling I got when we shot down the first drop. I think that was also my first foray into airtime. Now mind you I was under the age of 10 and I really don't think they measured anyone back then because I swear I was going to fly right out of the seat! Little did I know that the next summer no one could get me off of these things! Now I have a 9 year old son of my own and am patiently trying to get him up to the big boy stage of coastering. Spinning Mice will do just fine for him, but he says this summer he is going to ride the big ones.......we shall see....
eltoro96 Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 The Revolution at SFMM with lap bars Lucky!!!
DarienLaker Posted January 16, 2011 Posted January 16, 2011 (edited) Mine was Wabash CannonBall at Opryland in 1997, when I was 9! Edited July 4, 2011 by DarienLaker
PhantomNick Posted January 28, 2011 Posted January 28, 2011 You know, it's kinda funny, but as a kid I was terrified of the notion of going upside-down. Not sure why exactly, but any coaster with inversions freaked me out. Then, in its last year of operation, I rode Kennywood's Laser Loop....and loved it! I remember saying to myself, "Wow, that wasn't so bad at all!"
Rydel Posted January 28, 2011 Posted January 28, 2011 Mine is the Viper at Darien Lake and it isntanly became my favorite coaster Mine was also Viper, although it's not my favorite.
