I guess I went on little kiddie coasters when I was young, bot those don't count. My first real big ride was actually a vertical water slide, but that is still not a coaster. I went on a school trip to Kentucky Kingdom and I rode my first "Big" roller coaster, Twisted Twins (what used to be called Twisted Sisters). My next trip to Kentucky Kingdom my sister convinced me to ride Chang, that was my first coaster with inversions. Now I am not afraid to ride any ride.

First coaster (a kiddie coaster) was the Gadget Go-Coaster at Disneyland. Later on I did my first "real coaster" by moving up to Matterhorn also at Disneyland. But yet, thats still not very coaster-ish. Then in 2003 I got over my fear of doing a more major rollercoaster by doing Rock N Rollercoaster. My favorite coaster. As you might have noticed, I've never really been on a coaster outside of Disney. I'm a Disney NUT! lol

My first coaster was Canyon Blaster at the Adventure Dome in Las Vegas, that was a great ride, went on it over and over, and over, and over again

I don't know, too many small ones when I was young. The first I remember was Space Mountain (Disney, Florida). I was screaming and crying...but it was because I was afraid I'd drop the tissues my grandma bought me lol. After that, Bobsled @ Great Escape. Canyon Blaster was next, then Nightmare. Finaly, my fire "real" coaster was The Comet at the Great Escape. I was scared sh*tless when it climbed over the top, but I was screaming "HELL YEEEAAAHHH!!!!!" the rest of the ride :).

steel track/wood support: [none]
wood track/steel support: Comet @ Great Escape

I would imagine my first coaster was corkscrew at Alton Towers, shortly followed by Nemesis. Until that point I was absolutely shite scared of coasters and would almost break out in tears at the suggestion of going one [lol]

My first coaster and Inversion was on the Steel Phantom at my home Park Kennywood, currently converted to the Phantom's Revenge. The Steel Phantom was a bit rough but, i loved the Inversions at the end (Loop, Boomerang & Corkscrew). I also love the second drop....It scared the hell outta me when I first rode it...around the age of 11yrs. old. Since then, i've been riding Roller Cosasters.

My first coaster was predator at SFDL and I really wasn't that scared so after that bumpy ride my dad asked if I wanted to go to the viper (An Arrow) but I said no and went straight to SROS what was at the time Intamins first hyper coaster. That was a ride I would never forget. I was so friggen pumped.

Same thing here. I really wanted to ride them but wouldn't. I laughed at the idea of going on a coaster, and now I'm going to ride Kingda Ka this summer...kind of funny (in a nonlaughable way). [:D]

My first coaster and inversion was Scorpion at BGT. I love it. My brother who was about 8 was way too scared to go on it because of the loop and no OTSR, he thought he was going to fall out. Then I went on Python, it was alright but way too rough, then Gwazi, Montu, and last but not least Kumba. I think Montu's my favorite. I've yet to get on Sheikra, but I will hopefully before the summers over.
