What coasters left the biggest impact on you?

My first ride on the Beast back in 1981 and not knowing much about the ride. I remember the long shed not being so heavily braked like it is now.

Magnum and MF. When they first opened and seeing them tower over everything in the park. The feel of the 194 foot drop on Magnum the first time was truly scary. But MF the first time I was left speechless.

Raging Bull, my first B&M hyper. The layout and trains just blew me away. Still my #1 steel coaster.

Shivering Timbers. I finally rode it for the first time this year and was shocked and amazed by the amount of air time on this coaster. Plus the look of the ride as you enter MA is incredible. Currently my #1 wood coaster.

Batman Knight Flight, that thing ROCKS!!

Grizzly @ PKD. I still don't know where I am going when I ride that thing...:)

Chang, Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom. I guess not many people had been on this ride. As I'm from Hong Kong, I don't have much chance to ride many big/tall coasters. Chang was my first big coaster as well as my first stand-up coaster. It's amazing just to see that complex track. I think it's probably the best stand-up coaster in the world. After this ride, I was addicted to riding coasters!!!

Mindbender at Six Flags over Georgia. It was my first looper. I thought I had done the greatest thing in the world when I got off. It was great. When I went back to the park, I was with some different friends, and I told them it's not as bad as it looks. They all believed me and I got them on, and they were like, "That was awesome!" It made me feel really good.

Georgia Cyclone-The Most A Coaster Can BEEEEEEEE.

When I first rode it, Son of Beast gave me a nice impact on my leg that was about 3 inches in diameter...

Son of Beast is rough...so what? That's the way I like it!

My first ride on the Beast back when I was only a wee lad of 7. What a feeling, being in the front seat, completely dark outside, dad trying to scare you every 5 seconds. Memories.
Also, SOB, my first hyper, was great. Being that high was just awesome.

Clock in another for apollo that coaster made me an enthusiast I mean I alwasy ride a coaster when I got the chance but it was the coaster that got me thinking about air time, free fall and how inversions aren't necesary for an awesome ride.

The best stand-up coaster in the World, The Riddlers Revenge. The Riddlers Revenge was the one that got me into the whole coaster world seeing the sleek green track and black supports. It is also my favorite looping coaster in the World.

Revolution before it had OHR's in 1976. My favorite part was the first drop and the loop was so intense. believe it or not it was as smooth as glass. What a roller coaster it was.

Raging Bull, my first hyper, and my favorite coaster, not even the mighty Magnum or MF topped it. Since RB i rode the afore mentioned Magnum, and Millie, Nitro, Apollo's Chariot, all those coasters are my favorites, and if i was to get into reasons why i am an enthusiast, it'd be the 3 B&M hypers, followed by the rest that i mentioned, and more, such as B:TR, Iron Wolf, Mantis, Montu, Kumba, Medusa, Shockwave, V2, and hopefully Deja Vu, B&M's are my favorite though, because they always leave a big impact...

"Thank you for challenging the Raging Bull. We hope you enjoy the rest of you're day, here at Six Flags Great America."

My first ever coaster was the Trailblazer at Hershey because it was a calm enough coaster for me to go on. I would have to say that the first coaster that really challenged me was the Sooperdooperlooper at Hershey because that was my first coaster that went upside down. After I rode that..... I rode the Great Bear at Hershey and I was so scared that I closed my eyes almost the whole ride and was too afraid to move. Those three coasters have left the biggest impact on me.
