Show me your first inversion ever

My first inversion:


Who couldn't become hooked on coasters for life after that?[:D]

this is mine...my dad wanted me to start with the small stuff and go to the bigger rides.

the mind bender

It seems like alot of people here made their first inversion on an arrow looper [:)] Some were a bit more lucky though [:D]

Ouch! My first inversion was on:

*Cracks his neck as he looks at the painfully slow ride.*
I then did my second 6 inversions on a good old:


Wasn't as bad as the above pic.

Don't steal, the government hates competition!!!

Ive been interested in coasters since I was 7 or 8 years old, but I didnt get a chance to ride one until last summer when a pinfari looper came with the fair. OUCH!

I dont have any pics of it, but heres a pic of an identical coaster. Now thats a tight loop!!!! http://www.rcdb.com/installationgallery ... ?Picture=1

my second was batman (in georgia right next to my first...the mindbender.

my very first inversion was the first corkscrew on nemesis at alton towers. it was the year 2000. what a cool rollercoaster to start rollercoaster riding.

My first and second loop was on Python at BGT but my second looping coaster was Kraken at Sea World.

My First Inversion(s) that I had encountered was on the world's first and only Hyper,Looping-Terrain Coaster Named: The Steel Phantom at My Home Park: Kennywood, West Mifflin (In Pittsburgh) Pennsylvania. I loved that ride and it had for grusome inversions in the following order: Loop, Boomerang, Corkscrew. It was torn down in 2000 and rebuilt into a world class hyper coaster named: The Phantom's Revenge.
I Loved roller coasters ever since i was 5 but I didn't ride on until 1992 when I was 6 ( I was a tall 6 year old), I rod3 the Steel Phantom.

mine was the first loop on the georgia scorcher

My first rollercoaster was excaliber (now defunct to make way for the serial thriller) then texas cyclone that day (before the changes to it, im talking 70's here lol)and my first loop was greezed lightning, then next week went on shockwave at sfot which was my first double loop. Really don't remember the age but in the seventies it was preteens for me

King Cobra at PKI. I don't care if that coaster WAS the first stand-up coaster in the world, it plain SUCKED. It was OK when I was a kid but I tried riding it as an adult and the shoulder bars didn't raise up high enough for me to stand straight up (I am 6'5"). I had to ride kind of crouched over; VERY PAINFUL[:(]. I'm glad it's gone now.

I know what you mean i'm also 6'5" and coaster just aren't built for anyone over 6'4"[:(]

And most Americans don't know the size of meters.[confused]

Actually, 6'5" is the same as 195.5 cm.

12" to 1' and 3'3" to a meter
