Canobie lake Park, I think I was about 4 or 5 years old. There were a few before that, but, that is the one I remember the most. I miss Kosmo Jets.

Six flags St. Louis. (Six Flags Over Mid America at the time)

Screaming Eagle was still the king of the park. The ninja was the 'thrill' coaster. The only other roller coaster was the mine train. I would only ride the mine train, until several trips later when my Dad made me step up to the plate and ride the Ninja. I've been hooked ever since.

First theme park was one of the Disney world parks. First high-scale coaster experiences were at Cedar Point 8 years ago.

My first theme park experience was the Silver Bullet in Knott's Berry Farm. That was 5 years ago. It was really exciting and thrilling.
