OCJ48 Posted January 10, 2012 Posted January 10, 2012 The Rock 'n' Roller Coaster at DHS (MGM at the time). I was eight, and my grandparents tricked me into going on it. Scared the living crap out of me.
RCT3Bross Posted January 11, 2012 Posted January 11, 2012 Mine was Rock n Rollercoaster at Disneyland Paris Walt Disney Studios. I was around 14 I think. The reason why it took so long was because I always hated coasters whit inversions. I remember I had a pretty hard argument before we started the queue. I told my parents a hundred times it was a coaster but my parents didn't believe me they said its was a simulation ride. Well at the end I turned out to be right and my parents wrong. I think my mother was immediately punished because she hates inversions too. It had a good twist in my life from that point on I stared to lose my fear of inversions and now I dare to ride every ride on a theme park.
simon8899 Posted January 11, 2012 Posted January 11, 2012 Nessie - Schwarzkopf Loopingracer - at Hansa-Park, then Hansaland, was my first amusement park looper. The Schwarzkopf Katapult and the Dreier-Looping - Triple Loop also by Schwarzkopf - were my first carnival loopers. The later is still active in Mexico. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=soAOvDDUMzI Found this clip featuring the Triple Loop on Oktoberfest 1983 in a movie by german comedian Didi Hallervorden. I can't really remember the shoulder-harness free trains - maybe only for the movie....? I was quite young when I rode this and utterly thrilled so my memory on such "non-essentials" is a lil clouded after that many years....
RideofSteel Posted January 11, 2012 Posted January 11, 2012 The first looping coaster I was on was ROCKIN Roller Coaster at Disney's Hollywood Studios a few years ago.
thenewzolt Posted January 11, 2012 Posted January 11, 2012 Steel Phantom at Kennywood. Only rode it that one time before they took out the loops too
kmshimfe Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 The Corkscrew that was at the now demolished Pavilion in Myrtle Beach, SC.
rolercstrluvr Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 Top Gun at CGA, still up there as one of my favorites as well.
biker7766 Posted January 26, 2012 Posted January 26, 2012 For sure, The Great Bear at Hersheypark. I remember it and thats what started it all!
OrientExpressForever Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 The Orient Express at Worlds of Fun.
Cyrbuzz Posted January 29, 2012 Posted January 29, 2012 Mine was Corkscrew at Deer Park Funland(now Michigan's Adventure), that station hasn't changed a bit. I remember what a big deal that ride was to me back in 1982 for I haven't been on anything bigger yet.
megamatt Posted January 29, 2012 Posted January 29, 2012 Corkscrew at Canobie Lake Park, age 8. I got a headache. I quickly learned the "force your head to the left" trick.
Werner Posted February 3, 2012 Posted February 3, 2012 Looping Star @ Slagharen, Holland Still got to love these rides!
davisal771 Posted February 5, 2012 Posted February 5, 2012 Did anyone ever go on something like a B&M looper or Arrow megalooper for their first? I imagine the experience would have been memorable.
guifol Posted February 6, 2012 Posted February 6, 2012 (edited) Did anyone ever go on something like a B&M looper or Arrow megalooper for their first? I imagine the experience would have been memorable. Yeahh... my first lopper was Medusa at SFDK... I loved it! Medusa at SFDK Edited February 8, 2012 by guifol
xChris125x Posted February 6, 2012 Posted February 6, 2012 Did anyone ever go on something like a B&M looper or Arrow megalooper for their first? I imagine the experience would have been memorable. Steel Phantom - Kennywood Looking back that was quite a way to start!
Fil31zRt Posted February 6, 2012 Posted February 6, 2012 I believe Demon from Six Flags Great America! It is always a fun, hip ride.
alilstronger Posted February 6, 2012 Posted February 6, 2012 Sooperdooperlooper! I was terrified. Me too!!!! I ran away from my mom when it was over because I was so mad at her. Now, I am glad she did it because she fed into my obsession.
Screamin_Eagle Posted February 7, 2012 Posted February 7, 2012 my first coaster was the Jetscream coaster at Six flags St. Louis. it opened the year I worked at the park, and we got to ride it during our orientation. we got to ride it before the general public. unfortunately it was only at the park for a few years they removed it when Ninja was installed, and turned the queue house into a dance pavilion called tremors.. coaster went to Astroworld and became Viper. I loved it the first time I rode it, and it was also cool because there was no over the shoulder restraints, just a lap bar...
