What's Your Sentimental Coaster?
I have 2...Cyclone @ Coney Island
(my very 1st coaster at the age of 8!!)
Jumbo Jet @ a LONG gone rinkey dink "amusement" park called "Adventures Inn" in Whitestone Queens, NY. I remember my Dad had a buy tickets for me to ride and no one would ride it but me. There were many times I was the only one riding!
Eventually the "ride" part of this park closed but for years the rides stood idle, the games/food area stayed open for years, bringing in some real "quality" groups of kids. The park itself finally closed in the mid 70's. I even remember the Jumbo Jet tracks were red and blue.

I miss the now-gone Firecracker at Holiday World. It was their only roller coaster for I don't know how many years, and was only a small wild mouse, but it was my first coaster. What I would give to ride it again. :(

We are the ones who wait in line for hours for a 45-second thrill, and consider it time well spent.

Racer and Magnum. Racer at KW was my very first coaster and Magnum slowly got me into coasters after a night ride in 1994

No question about this - the Lakeside Cyclone in Denver is my sentimental favorite. If I could be anywhere right now, riding any coaster I've already ridden, I'd be at Lakeside, riding the Cyclone as the sun sets over the Rockies and the park comes alive with a myriad of neon and flourescent lights.
Wow...I have to..go...now...

Mine would have to be Shockwave at SFGAM. It's one of my favorite coasters.

The Riverside Cyclone. The first coaster that scared me so much that after one ride I didnt ride it again for 3 years. Now I ride it CONSTINTLY.
Mine is definitely Montezooma's Revenge at Knott's Berry Farm. I was so scared the first time...I love it each time now, and I've been on it over 100 times!
I can't believe no one else started on CP's Blue Streak. It was my first coaster, way back in 1973. Definitely my sentimental favorite!

So many coasters - so little time.

Even though Shivering Timbers is a top ten, it is definitely my sentimental coaster. That coaster really started my interest and love in coasters. Before that I rode them and enjoyed them, but Shivering Timbers changed my outlook.

Life is a roller coaster...enjoy the ride!

DEFINATELY Batman : Knight Flight @ Six Flags Worlds of Adventure, Although Cedar Point is My Home Theme Park, Six Flags reminds me of the First 100ft+ rollercoaster I have been on. It turned me into the Coaster Fanatic that I am now! lol - u should See my room, there isnt and inch on the wall that I could See that doesnt have a coasters picture on it! lol
Although it site at the park has been replaced by an EVIL SLC, the defunct Excalibur at SFAW. That coaster was magic.
