mr_teisco_delrey Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 Mine was the Chicago Loop (now the Canobie Corkscrew) at Old Chicago Amusement park. That was in 1975. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redfoot12 Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 Mine was the King Kobra at KD back in '84. Pretty intimidating to me at the time. Schwarzkopf Shuttle Loopness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dchamero Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 Mine was Corkscrew, one of the original Vekoma Corkscrew with bayencurve, 1981 Ital Park, Argentina. (the coaster was relocated to Beto Carrero World in Brazil, where it still operates. The pic is from its new location, thanks RCDB) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RCTfan Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 My first coaster with inversions was Batman: The Ride at Six Flags Great Adventure! Its all I could talk about the rest of the day. Amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rollerholden Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 Kong at Six Flags Marine World. It's a Vekoma SLC, and I remember it scared the crap out of me! I remember hating it after, and being all mad at my dad for taking me on it. (I was 8.) I have no idea why I decided to go on it again, along with others. But now, I totally have a thing for the SLCs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virdu_ Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 My first coaster with inversions was... ¡A SLC! (What a sensation...) It Was Tizona in Terra Mítica, I was 9 years old, and I remember that I was very ill What a funny moments... Now I rode 10 Times that coaster and I feel the same Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMAN962 Posted September 9, 2006 Share Posted September 9, 2006 Viper, Magic mountain... although it is still a fun ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vjgx Posted September 9, 2006 Share Posted September 9, 2006 Although I already posted it earlier, my first looping coaster was Viper at SFMM. But I didn't like that all that much. Headache-inducing sensory overload, seeing as that was my quick transition from coasterphobic to have-ridden-a-coaster. The first looping coaster that I actually liked, and which also got rid of my (even more heightened after Viper) fear of roller coasters, was The Riddler's Revenge! B&M Goodness!

VegasCoaster Posted September 9, 2006 Share Posted September 9, 2006 My first real coaster too. I was a late bloomer but made up for a lot of lost time. A lot of spare time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timberterror Posted September 9, 2006 Share Posted September 9, 2006 I am so sad to say this......Windjammer at Knott's. My daughter rode her first looper this year on Sooperdooperlooper at Hersheypark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparebear75 Posted September 9, 2006 Share Posted September 9, 2006 Mine was Boblo Island's Screamer back in 1986, it was one of those rough Vekoma corkscrew models. I think it's at Playland in Vancouver now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NitroRider Posted September 9, 2006 Share Posted September 9, 2006 Two Face:The Flip Side. I hated it. It was horrible. I hated it. Then I hated my brother for making me go on it. My first coaster with an actuall sitdown, non-inverted loop was Sooperdooperlooper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdstrom Posted September 9, 2006 Share Posted September 9, 2006 Mine was the Corkscrew at Valleyfair! when I was about 8 years old. I remember how awesome it was and I made my aunt ride it 53,314 times with me that day. It's amazing how years of coaster riding made this coaster seems like nothing. Corkscrew at Valleyfair!
