My first coaster was High Speed Thrill Coaster at Knoebels. I don't really remember to much of it, but by judging pictures I was having a good time. My first looper was either SooperDooperLooper, The Loch Ness Monster, or Drachen Fire. First woodie I believe was Sky Princess at Dutch Wonderland.

Big Dipper at Camden Park. My second coaster was the beast and wow! I honestly was too scarred to have fun, but now its a blast!

My first big wooden coaster was Ghost Rider when I was 11. It scared the heck out of me, and plus I had to go on by myself because my dumb brother chickened out halfway through the line. My first inversion was Vortex at PGA. Not a bad start.

We figured out at Cmania my first coaster was Avalanche Run in 1986 or 87

Schwarzkopf shuttle loops...The most possible fun in 36 seconds.

What better coaster to get hooked on than The Giant Dipper at Belmont Park in San Diego. That led to me visiting SFMM, which opened my doors. I still love that coaster to this day.

My first woody was either the Big Dipper or Little Dipper at Camden Park, or the Swamp Fox at Myrtle Beach....I don't quite remember. I know I was about 7 or 8 years old at the time.

I know my first steel coaster was the now defunct Corkscrew at Myrtle Beach. My family used to vacation there every summer when I was a kid. The Pavillion, Family Kingdom, and Magic Harbor provided plenty of early coastering.

The first coaster that scared me to death was The Beast. I was 8 years old at that time.

The rest is history.....:-)

Viper at SFGAm

My first coaster was SkyLiner at Roseland in upstate NY. I just found out they moved it to a park in Pennsylvaina and its now my goal to reride it. First looper was Viper at Darien Lake, I was terrified of it for years and then I got dragged on it kicking and screaming. And I loved it.

The first coaster I rode was the racer at kennywod, but my actaully real experience on a coaster was The steel phantom. I was cryng cause I didn't want to ride (that 225ft. drop scare the **** out of me). My little brother, who as about 8-9 at the time, wasn't even scared. I was about 10-11. I rode it in the back, with my eyes closed and I enjoyed it. Now I gotta ride coasters wherever I go, so I'm glad my father forced me on it.

My first inverted coaster would've been Serial Thriller at SFWOA but I punked out cause I didn't want to ride by myself. My first inverted coaster was Dueling dragons Ice. That was my favorite inverted until I rode Talon.Talon was my favorite until I rode Raptor.

Hehe - the Jr. Gemini at Cedar Point when I was 2 or so years old, I guess. ;)

When I was about 5 or 6, I went to the Savannah Fairand there was a small portable coaster called the Dragon Wagon. It was there I first expierenced 'thrill rides' It wasn't until I was 12 that I rode Viper (SFoG) and truly got hooked on coasters.

My first coaster that I can remember was the Viper at Darien Lake. I was so scared of it that I told my now-ex-wife that I would never EVER ride a coaster ever again.

Two years later, I got rid of her and gained an addiction to coasters...I think it was a fair trade...

Writing a book about roller coasters sure has it's ups and downs...
