First looping ever....

Raptor was my first looper or caoster for that matter I am 32 and I have been riding ever since

For me: Wabash Cannonball (the 2nd corkscrew built?) at Opryland 1977

Mine was the Orient Express at WOF in 1988. It is still my fav ride. I was only 7 when I first rode it.

If love is like a rollercoaster, doesn't that mean you should be happy ALL of the time? ;)

Scorpion at BGT. It may be smaller and older than Kumba or Montu, but it still packs a punch.

Screamin' Demon at Kings Island ... somewhere between '78 and '83.

Demon at PGA (1996)

Mine was Corkscrew at Cedar Point. I think it was in either '87 or '88. I think '87. Anyway, it's odd to think that Corkscrew was only 11 years old then...and now Magnum is 13 years old. Time sure flies when you're riding coasters...I mean having fun!

Turn of the Century at Marriott's Great America in Gurnee, IL

Was anyone scared when they went on there first looping ever? I know when I rode Chang I was frightened. What about the rest of you?
