My first "real" coaster was Python at Efteling. I was realy scared before, but after I loved it. A few days later I rode the SLC prototype El Condor and thought it was great! [;)]

My first real coaster was either the Racer or the Jack Rabbit at Kennywood. My first inversion was Sooper Dooper Looper at Hershey Park. My first ride over 100 ft was Phantom's revenge at kennywood and my first over 200 was Magnum at CP

i think i was 2 when i rode the matterhorn bobsleds, that was my first coaster. i also remember riding gold rusher over and over when i was like 3. magic mountain was brand new........we lived two miles down the street from knott's so i got to ride the corkscrew when it was pretty new, i think it was for my 6th birthday i was baaaarely tall enough, so my dad made me ride it,i was scared ****less when we were waiting in line,and i remember every second of it... i was stoked... my first wooden coaster was the santa cruz dipper. at the time it had little weird yellow bubble cars,(1981) with a stailess steel lapbar. my first vertical loop was in 1978 when montezoomas revenge opened, we were watching it being built, and i thought it would launch into the parking lot where camp snoopy is now. my dad made me ride it, and i remember being REEEAALLLY scared, but i'm glad it's still there, in fact i think it's the only over non-OTR inversion in california.

I rode "Thunder Mountain" and "Space Mountain" as a little kid, but my first 'real' coaster was "The Beast" at King's Island.

The funny part is that I thought it would be like a Disney coaster... like the thrills would come from animatronic beasts popping out in front of the train and trying to scare us. And since everything after the lift is completely invisible, I was actually expecting that to happen. Needless to say, I was scared out of my wits. After 4 minutes of sheer terror, I was about ready to keel over from the thrills. So, naturally, I took a deep breath and said "Let's Go Again!"

Hmm, my first coaster was the Iron Dragon @ Cedar Point. i remember being petrified, riding it, getting off and still being scared. One year later i ride it and i get off yawning! [lol] Which reminds me of a hilarius story; i was at a fair, it was almost closing time, so for the last ride, they let all the parents near the swinging ship get on. (i was already on it because the awesome operator let me stay on because there was no line.[rainy-ish day]) anyway, it was me, my mom, and my 9-year-old sister in the back row. sitting ahead of us in the first row were a mom and a kid (picure this so far). We started swinging and i was (of course) havin' the time of my life (almost, not compared to Cedar Point)[here is where the funny stuff comes]). but the mom ahead of us was havin a good time, but the kid was terrified, eyes closed, in his moms arms, tucked in the seats, you know the symptems. so the ride stopped, and guess what the first thing the terrified kid said, "mom, i wanna go again." the the operator let us all go again. the kid was in the same position! im thinkin wtf is wrong with that kid?!? [lol] so ANYWAY, back to coasters,
--first was Iron Dragon @ CP
--first looping was corkscrew @ CP
while i was on the Corkscrew, im like "here we go..."
we fell down the hill [peakhill] then i say to my self, oh SH%&!, here comes the loop of doom!!!!! i ride the loop and i say, "that was the loop of doom? I thought it was the loop of sleep!!!" [lol] so thx for reading (if u did...)
