doublestufforeo Posted January 29, 2011 Posted January 29, 2011 As a kid my great aunt tried to get me to ride The Incredible Hulk at IOA, I wouldn't because I was scared of the launch and going upside down. Eventually I decided that it'd be better to ride Dueling Dragons, boy was I wrong, I loved it, but then I went on Hulk afterwards and loved it even more! Also, for my friend, he wouldn't ride Hulk because of the launch as well, so we rode Dueling Dragons over and over that day, and finally after all the adrenaline, we ran to Hulk and got a front row ride, and I got him into roller coasters.
StarTrekGeek Posted January 29, 2011 Posted January 29, 2011 Well, I'm not sure if I remember, but I think it was either Scorpion or Python at BGT. I think it was Scorpion.
Snowboard246 Posted January 29, 2011 Posted January 29, 2011 Ice Dragon, part of the Dueling Dragons at IOA was my first coaster with inversions
brossa Posted February 16, 2011 Posted February 16, 2011 Olympia Looping when I was 5 or 6 ... can't remember exactly but I was young!
beatle11 Posted February 17, 2011 Posted February 17, 2011 ^Holy crap, that's pretty nuts for a 6 year old. Even for coaster enthusiasts, it's seen as a very intense ride.
billydyall Posted February 20, 2011 Posted February 20, 2011 my first post i stil havent been on an inverting coaster its quite embaressing that im obsessed with theme parks but im a wimp when it comes to rides my first ride that inverted was dragons claw... but hopefully this march my first inverting coaster will be RAGE billy
MayTheGForceBeWithYou Posted February 20, 2011 Posted February 20, 2011 Either Montezooma or Windjammer at Knott's. I think it was Montezooma, but it might have been Windjammer. Montezooma Windjammer
Mr P Posted February 20, 2011 Posted February 20, 2011 I was 9 and at Alton Towers with my Dad, my first inverting coaster was Corkscrew. Followed shorty after by Nemesis! I preferred the latter of the two.
Sir Coaster Posted February 24, 2011 Posted February 24, 2011 The classis Corkscrew at Cedar Point. All I remember was, my stomach lurched when we hit the first inversion. My first looper was Laser: Others: First Batwing inversion: Great American Scream Machine First Immelmann inversion: Medusa First impulse inverter: Wicked Twister I love me some good inversions,
alpengeistfan1 Posted May 15, 2011 Posted May 15, 2011 Whirlwind at Knoebel's. Yeah, I know it's random but I found it good at that time!
ANJLOVER14 Posted May 15, 2011 Posted May 15, 2011 Revolution @ SFMM. Awesome ride layout squandered by the WORST RESTRAINTS EVER!! (Although the 1000+ credit-lovers on this forum can list off plenty worse )
dubbis Posted May 15, 2011 Posted May 15, 2011 Lisebergsloopen @ Liseberg. Think it was during its 1st season (1980) and i was 16. Remember that i was pretty nervous before riding but afterwards it was kind of an antiklimax. The loop wasn't scary at all, just fun. Those were the days, back in the 80s...
Blatch Posted May 15, 2011 Posted May 15, 2011 Back in 2009, this bad boy was my first looping roller coaster: Pretty nice ride! There's a lot more to it than just the vertical loop.
alpengeistfan1 Posted May 15, 2011 Posted May 15, 2011 I'm in love with Sooper Dooper Looper, it has great interaction with the terrain and is placed in a great location within the park! Also there's never any lines!
DanJB Posted May 17, 2011 Posted May 17, 2011 My first looping coaster was the corkscrew at Alton Towers (I was probably around 8 or 9). I came off with such a headache, I was nearly put off riding any more large coasters! Although not long after that, I went on the corkscrew at Flamingoland (I didn't realise they were the same at the time) and loved it so much I rode it almost all day!
XYZ Posted June 30, 2011 Posted June 30, 2011 Demon @ California's Great America. Still, to this day it's the most inversions on a coaster that I've ever ridden, 4 of them.
griffonj2022 Posted June 30, 2011 Posted June 30, 2011 Flight of Fear at KD in Richmond. My dad literally had to force me onto the ride but it's a good thing he did!
Hilltopper39 Posted June 30, 2011 Posted June 30, 2011 Mine was the now defunct Wabash Cannonball formerly of Opryland.
1badgmc Posted July 3, 2011 Posted July 3, 2011 Shockwave at SFOT back in the very early '80s when it was still white, the color that it should be restored to.
