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

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.

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.

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

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