When I rode Top Gun at kings island on opening day when I was 5. I was terrified! But my dad forced me on. I loved it! and I rode it over and over again, and I rode vortex and beat like 5 times that day..it was crazy, I didn't stop after that...lol. I can't stand top gun now Btw..it sucks. But all arrow suspended coasters suck. BBW is okay, but meh..

I really didn't have a first roller coaster that made it so i loved them from therefore on. I just used to look at rcdb, at just waited for a day that i could ride one. Gwazi was my first major roller coaster, i believe. or maybe it was dueling dragons, ehh, idk.

But it wasn't a single roller coaster that made me love them, it was looking at numerous pictures, and then going on my first.

My dad took me on my first rollercoaster on my 5th birthday[peakhill]. Thats how I started to love rollercoasters then I got RCT2 from a school bookorder in 1st grade and that started my crave to design rollercoasters.[worship][worship][worship]

Ive loved rollercoasters as long as i can remember. As a little kid i remember pointing out anything that had to do with rollercoasters, looked like a rollercoaster. I remember even trying to make rollercoaster "seat belts" (thats what i used to call the harnesses when i was like... 7) On my car seat. When i was like 4 or somthing i would like spaz when i heard that we were going to Kings Dominion "to ride taxi jam." I think my major love for coasters started when i either rode Apollos Chariot, or Volcano; the blast coaster.

I went to Valleyfair and I loved the environment of having roller coasters around me...Then I went on Wild Thing and it only skyrocketed from there...

Not certainly a coaster, rather RollerCoasterTycoon.
But Python (Efteling) was my first ride

My first coaster was El bruco magico at Gardaland, but I first fell in love with rollercoasters when I rode Magic Mountain at the age of 6 I think. When i got off it, I puked.[xx(]

It wasn't a coaster. I went to the fair for the first time, when I was about 4/5 years old. I've had an obsession with rides in general ever since. *shrug*

When I was born, my uncle worked at the trainyards here in Chicago and was an avid model train builder. As early as a year old, I was only truly content watching the train go round the track or cuddling with a dog. When I was 4 I saw my first coaster. Galaxy at Santa's Village in Dundee. I spent the whole day being yelled at and dragged about by my family because if Galaxy was in my view, I was mesmerized. I was always fascinated but never brave enough to ride until I was 13. I rode Little Dipper at Kiddieland in Melrose Park. I have been an airtime junkie since. Probably the smallest camelback drop in the world but those negative G's were the best feeling in the world.

my first coaster was the texus rumbeler just above blackpool, carnt recall the name of the place, i think it begins with an M. its still standing but the prk went buast nearly 17 years ago.

but what got me into coasters was a school project when i was 12 which was desiging a system for delivering coal down a cliff. i have been doing engineering corses since i was 10 and this was a part of the corse. i reaserched a coaster and since them ive had a deep mechanical fasination with them
