First Coaster Experience

What was the first coaster you went on, and how old were you?

I went on Blackpool Pleasure Beach's "Big Dipper" when I was only three! I don't remember much about it at that time, but my mother told me I used to sit on her knee. Obviously, I must have enjoyed it.

What I do remember is going back another year when all the height restrictions had come in, and they wouldn't let me ride it - I was not a happy kid that day!

#Life is a rollercoaster you just gotta ride it#

My first coaster was jr. Gemini then the corkscrew then the magnum xL. Jr. Gemini- i was 4. Corkscrew i was 5. magum when i was 7. we went to Cedar point ever year.

My first roller coaster was when I was 11, and it was on Hercules at Dorney Park. All I remember was the first hill the helix over the lake, and the headache that I got afterwards.

***Why can't all parks have a Millennium Force?***

Galaxy at Santas Village.

My first coaster was the SooperDooperLooper in Hershey. I was 12. Had to be literally dragged on to even get me even close to a coaster.

It took me a long time to love coasters, but now I cna't get enough of them! Anyway, my first coaster experience was Big Thunder Mountain Railroad at Disneyland, then Matterhorn then Space Mountain... and that was how I was first introduced to the world of coasters!

It was the Red Streaker at Willow Mill asmusement park in Mechanicsburg, PA.. Good coaster for a small park. Too bad its sitting disassembled in a warehouse now. Hopefully someone will bring it out of hibernation.

First coaster was the Jack Rabbit at KP. I was about 10. First looping coaster was the Loch Ness Monster when I was 13.

Blue Streak at Conneaut Lake Park when I was three. I remember screaming and crying the entire ride, I was so scared. Didn't go on another coaster till I was 10. It was the Corkscrew at Knott's Berry Farm which is no longer there.

My first coaster was the Sky Princess at Dutch Wonderland. I was about 7 years old. After the first ride, I just kept riding it over and over and over...

My first coaster ride was the whizzer at SFGAm. I thought that was scary, but by the end of the day I was on everything but Giant Drop. The bull wasn't built yet.
