Could either be Polar Coaster at Story Land, Big Thunder Mountain at Magic Kingdom, or Yankee Cannonball at Canobie, not sure which.

After I started riding them I liked them, enough to ride them but didn't care as much as I do now. The coaster that did "this" to me was Superman at SFNE and then Boulder Dash the year after just kind of sealed the deal. It also made me realize that wood coasters are a lot more fun than steels.

What? Really? Damn, there's only three of those in operation and I like them, the one on the Santa Cruz Boardwalk is a fun break from riding the Giant Dipper over and over again. I hope yours gets relocated.

Mine was Thunder Mountain at Disneyland too, I had to talk my way on because I was pretty young. I was scared, but I HAD to go on it because they had replaced my favorite ride with it (the Mine Train) and I wasn't to let the transition from a dark ride (kind of) to a roller coaster stop me.
Be sure you're not looking in a mirror before you start pointing fingers.

Mine was a little dragon coaster at a traveling fair when I was like 3... http://www.rcdb.com/ig1442.htm?picture=2

I was terrified! I cried and they stopped the ride. Then when I was 7 or 8 my parents took me to Cedar Point. Talked me into Demon Drop and I got hooked! That was my first ride on Raptor too!
