How old where you when you rode your first roller coaster, what coaster, and where.

My answer:
It was my fifth birthday that I went to Kenobles in Pennsylvania and rode Phoenix in the front row. It's a wooden coaster.

The first that i remember was 'roller coaster' at great yarmouth pleasure beach, just because i felt cool 'cos my older brother was too scared to go on it. My first inverted coaster was the 'thunder looper' at alton towers when i was about 13ish. never looked back since.

A lot of similarities there with my experience. I went on Thunder Mountain at 3 or 4 I think and then BTR at 13. Some other coasters in between that though.

I was 4 or 5 when I rode Ghoster Coaster at CW, and then Dragon Fire when I was 6 or 7...I don't really remember exactly how old I was for either though.

Best first ride for a little kid, Soap Box Derby racers at Knotts. That ride was the best. Too bad it was replaced by a terrible ride... stupid Windjammers.
