What was your first coaster with inversions?

[coasterkid21]

Viper at Darian Lake. I remember it well. I was terribly scared of the ride, yet still wanted to ride it. I spent a good 20 minutes just staring at it going through inversions. The ride itself wasn't as bad as I had thought. I really liked it. I soon moved away however and haven't ridden it since.

Scorpion at BGT. I remember it being broken down throughout most of the day. But later when we were riding the train we saw it running, so we ran over to the ride. 30 minutes of waiting later, I had ridden my first looping coaster (and my first Schwarzkopf as well).

Don't think I ever posted in this thread, but it was the Looping Star at Jolly Roger on the Pier in Ocean City, MD.

For sure I do!

 

It was back in 1982, summertime in Rio. I rode Mr. Schwarzkopf LoopingStar at PlayCenter under rain.

Got chills, thrills and pneumonia... BEST PNEUMONIA EVER!!!!

Either Corkscrew at Cedar Point or Double Loop at Geauga Lake. I can't completely remember..

[BigBomer]

Mine was Superman: Kryton Coaster at SFFT.

[CanadaCoasterKid]

Mine was Dragon Fire at PCW at the time, great first looping coaster and i'm sure it was many other's first looping coaster too.

[mangoman15]

Mine was the Double Loop at Elitch Gardens. It's not too exciting of a ride, but it was one of my most memorable experiences as a kid at an amusement park.

Fire Dragon at Lagoon!

My family is trying to convince me I rode superdooperLooper back in 1997, but I have no recollection of riding it back then. I do, however, remember riding Rock 'N Rollercoaster at (then) MGM Studios in 2000, and saying at the time that it was my first looping roller coaster. Looking back, it was very ambitious of me to take on a launched coaster too. I remember how terrified I was watching each train from the queue disappear into the dark, noisy void.

Sooperdooperlooper at HP. Good ol' Anton!

[AirtimeAddict17]

Mine was also Sooperdooperlooper at Hersheypark!

[bert425]

Shock Wave (at Six Flags Over Texas), the week it opened (and we got "stuck" in the front row, since they assigned seats at the time!

 

 

 

 

but it worked out well, since once I got that out of the way, I had no fear of riding Greezed Lightnin' at Astroworld (my home park), once that finally opened up to the general public. (we rode the crap out of that over the years, since we grew up w/ Astroworld season passes)

Viper at Astroworld in May 1999!

[DarkRideNick]

It was either Rock N Rollercoaster at MGM or the Looping Star at the Pier in Ocean City MD!

[Moose]

Python at Busch Gardens, The Dark Continent. I was extremely scared and ended up loving it. I then made my father take me on it over and over again.

[HEADCHEEZ]

Canyon Blaster at The Adventuredome! I ended up riding it about 12 times that day.
