What was your first coaster with inversions?

[timetrial3141592]

First Looper: Canobie Corkscrew

First GOOD Looper: Montu

First Hyper: SROS @ SFNE

First Suspended: Ninja @ SFMM

First Stand-Up: Riddler's Revenge

 

By the way, there is some INSANE airtime on the Yankee Cannonball.

Also, there is a waterslide with a drop taller than anything at Canobie Lake.

Corkscrew @ Geauga Lake in '86.

[nannerdw]

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.

Woo... even after going on 299 other coasters I still love Cannonball !

[lapseofreason]

I think it was the same as my first coaster... again, the corkscrew at Geauga Lake.

 

[deathmole]

It was the Corkscrew at Flamingo Land if I remember rightly, jippe!

 

 

Vekoma sexy-ness! (Pic from RCDB, cheers to them).

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...

The first Looping Star at Dreamland Margate when it was BemBom Brothers back in 1987

[man]

revolution at sfmm perfect single looper for a starter. Then I hoped on viper 5 times after. This was like 3-5 years ago very rough.

[DATman]

Batman at SFMM, then revolution (odd, no?)

[4718]

Batman the Ride, I think it was around '96 or so, maybe even on my 6th grade field trip.

[Sharkyjon]

Mine was 'The Scorpion' at BGTB many years ago actually 10 years ago its amazing how time goes by . . . . so slowy . . . damn that madonna song is catchy!

[Meenolman]

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:

King Cobra at PKD. I wish it was still there instead of Anaconda

[coasterboi]

Well my first technical lopping ride was virtual space mountain at DLP Studios its like disney quest [Or more like ultimate ride]

 

But my first looping coaster was Rock N Rollercoaster i have a funny story about it that sometime i will tell

[Billy Hill]

"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]

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.

[Guy T. Koepp]

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! S*** I'm old!" Koepp

[the sound]

"The Ninja" at Six Flags St. Louis.... OUCH, it a wonder I wasn't traumatized of looping coasters and scarred for life! :shock:

 

You think thats bad, i startyed with the Goudrix at PARC ASTERIX

[ECZenith]

BGA's Scorpion, and then 20 minutes later... Kumba.

[kingdanny]

Mine was Rock'N'RollerCoaster at WDW then MindBender at SFOG.
