bert425 Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 I actually attended the grand opening of the first modern looping coaster, the Corkscrew at Knott's Berry farm. I ended up on the news doing the Charleston while waiting in the four hour line just to ride a 30 second ride. Those were the days. Yes, I'm old. don't feel bad. . I'm old too. the one I listed opened in 1978, and we rode it opening week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dailey Enterprizes Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 The Steel Phantom. I rode it a few times before it was transformed. Sad day for Arrow lovers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TPDave Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 When I was 7 I went to Alton Towers with my family and me and my dad ran straight to Nemesis - waited for about 5 minutes and got to the station at which point I chickened out. Later in the day we went on the corkscrew and I loved it! So basically my first looping coaster was so close to being one of the best coasters in the world - but ended up being the corkscrew! Shame.

kelfsu Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 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. Me too! I was very nervous but one day I finally got up the courage to go on it with my dad. I loved it and it cured me of my fear of "going upside down" on a roller coaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firewalk13 Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Corkscrew at Geauga Lake. Man I was terrified, heights were never my thing but my sister made me and assured me I'd be fine. Couldn't have been more than 9-10 years old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
