SFGAm for Coasterphobes

I'm trying to figure out how to ease one of my firends into riding looping coasters at Six Flags Great America. What order of ride would you recommend...I thought the following:

Iron Wolf
Batman
Demon (B/C of roughness)
Shockwave
Déjà Vu
Demon is the least intimidating, and was the first loopng coaster that I went on. Iron Wolf is probably the roughest coaster there! Here's my suggestion:

Demon
Shockwave
Iron Wolf
Batman
Deja VU
1. Batman - that'll get him hooked - in the front
2. Demon - Not too rough
3. Iron wolf - First stand up for him (very rough)
4 Shockwave - In the front seat
5. Deja Vu - Cobra Roll and straight drops


I agree with kcies13 with the exception of 3 and 4. Besides height on Shockwave, there is nothing to it (except roughness!), so I would switch 3 and 4.

Shockwave

I remember when I was in this situation.
Demon: This has to be the closest thing to a family looper I've ever been on.
Shockwave: This should go next because it looks like a bigger, different colored version of Demon to the unseasoned rider.
Batman: The whole line atmosphere can be quite intimidating to first time riders.
Iron Wolf: The stand up concept is intimidating also.
Deja Vu: Save backwards for last.
Whizzer - warm them up on a non-looper
Demon - smallest looper
Batman - Over sooo quickly. Fairly smooth
Shockwave - Bigger, meaner
Deja Vu

Avoid Iron Wolf unless you know they hate their ears.

I think (IMO) you take him/her to Shockwave first. Once he/she rides it, you tell him/her that Shockwave is the scariest it gets (IMO) and then he/she won't be affraid of any of the other rides. That's how I did it.

"4 Seats are better than 2"
This is easy. Start with Batman. My sis's boyfriend never rode a coaster in his life (not even a kiddie one) until Batman last year. He loved it. Then go for Iron Wolf, followed by Demon, Shockwave, then the best for last: Deja Vu.

Deja Vu & V2. Can life get any better?
I would start like this,

1. Demon
2. Iron Wolf
3. Deja Vu
4. Batman
5. Shockwave ( cause the drop is pretty impressive)
Ride Batman its goes bye really quick. It was my first coaster ever when I was only 10 and it got me hooked. Trust me go to Batman it quick, intense, and pretty smooth.
I would take them on an easy ride such as Demon first. After that, they should feel pretty good, even though that's nothing compared to other SFGAm loopers. If they don't feel good yet, then take them on B:TR. By then they should feel pretty good, and you could take them on Deja Vu or any other coaster such as Shockwave or Iron Wolf.
