My first coaster was Wildcat @ MFI, I loved it, so then I rode Silver Comet after. It's still my second favorite coaster, but when I ride it again I think it will be my #1

Well, I don't know my first coaster. It was proably something at the fair, but the only major one I remember was when I was four or five on The Screain' Eagle at SfStL.

I remember my second major, River King Mine Train, when your only 4 foot nothing, that is very addictive! I kept ridding it and ridding it, even though the line was 30 minutes!

No, its a great coaster. It is running faster this season, and maybe when you rode it is wasn't running great...its a very tempermental coaster. You probably just don't know what a good coaster is.

Lets see...first good coaster or bad coaster?
My actual first caoster was also Grizzly but @ PGA...bit shaky but very very slow. Not even intense. My first "Good" coaster was Giant Dipper @ Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk.

That was my fourth coaster [:)], and my first inversion was on it too. I think its still one of the best loopers of today.

technically, my first inversion wasn't on a coaster, but a Kamakazee hammerhead flatride thingy. As for first coaster inversion, it would have to be the slow and painful (wasn't painful when I rode it) WindJammer @ KBF
