Just search for a picture at rcdb.com of the ride you made your first inversion on. I made my very first inversion on the very first vekoma SLC ever built. El Condor



I always was very scared for inversions and rollercoasters. But I wen't to Walibi (A.K.A. Six Flags Holland these days) and my friends just ran into the queue and i couldn't do anything else then follow So that was my second coaster and first inversion ever. I was scared to death though. But i am glad i made those very first 5 inversions. From that moment on I was rollercoaster addict, or you might say G Force Addict

Oh and this was my second one, or you might say my sixth

Wasn't that the coaster that awfully broke and killed the riders? Or did I confuse two coasters?

your right, 3 people died in an accident on June 4, 1986
But it kinda adds to the thrill when you ride it.

I guess you could say it adds some thrill to it. But it is a shame people had to die from it

the ninja! a good ol' vekoma (if there is such a thing as a good ol' vekoma) at SFOG. this is also the first roller coaster i enjoyed. the first rollercoaster i rode was the Great American Scream Machine, but i hated it, so 5 years later i rode this. at the time inversions were a lot less scary then big drops.

edit----i said loops in reference to this ride, but the are no verticle loops so i changed to to inversions

Shockwave at SFOT, the very first back-to-back double looping coaster in the world! I was 12 years old and scared to death of going upside down, so I held on for dear life and had my eyes closed the whole time, but I got right back in line and did it again with my eyes open and hands in the air! Talk about airtime! This thing has tons of ejector air in the back seat! Alot of people have blacked out on it too, including me. I rode it 6 times in a row once, and on the 6th ride, I blacked out in the loops. It made me feel really weird the rest of the day too, and I didn't like it at all. I don't ride it that much in a row anymore. BTW, I think the only reason it made me black out was because there was no line for it, so I was just getting off and getting right back on. It's still one of my favorites though. SFOT's coasters rock!

If you build it, they will come!
