How Old Are You & What Was Your 1st Coaster?

I think my first major coaster was the Whizzer at Marriot's Great America in Santa Clara...I remember freaking out because there were no seatbelts. But the same day I was riding the Demon, and it became the day fell in love with coasters!

Mine was the Dragon at Legoland when I was 8. And I was scared to death once the downhill parts started.

I'm 13 and my first coaster was when I was I think 8 at Hershey Park. All I remember was my mom was screaming and my hands were up...

Lol.. by the looks of the poll, majority are 12-15.

Anyways, my first coaster was Comet at Herysheypark

Thirty two, and my first coaster was the Florida Hurricane, (aka Arkansas Twister).

My first Coaster was either big thunder mountain at WDW or Space mountain in 82. I don't remember which one I rode First. I was 5 at the time.

I'm 15, I will be 16 soon, and my First coaster was the Omega side of Space Mountain at Walt Disnety World.

It scared the crap out of me.

I wouldn't ride it again until I was 13.

A year later, I rode Rock 'n' Roller Coaster, and I was no longer afraid of inversions.

Later, I rode my first B&M, and now I'm not afraid of any ride.

I'm about to turn 15, and my first coaster was Zach's Zoomer at Michigan's Adventure.

I just turned 12 years old, and my first roller coaster ever was Zoomerang at Lake Compiucne in Bristol, CT when i was 5

I'm 39. My first coaster was the Zephyr at Ponchatrain Beach in New Orleans in about 1974 or 1975. My first ride scared the heck out of me (those fiberglass tunnels got to me). My second ride got me hooked!

My first coaster was Thunder Mountain at WDW in Florida. After that, it was The Barnstormer, Space Mountain, then Dueling Dragons- Ice.

I'm 16 and my first coaster was this beast rcdb.com/ig1425.htm?picture=7. I was scared for my life when i first rode it at the age of 7 or 8, but loved coasters ever since.

I'm 12 years old and my first roller coaster was Matterhorn @ DL.

I'm 17 and my first roller coaster was the Flyer Comet at the now defunct Whalom Park. Despite being nothing impressive, I loved that coaster and really miss it now that I'll never see it running again.

I am 56 and my first coaster was the Matterhorn.

My first was the Scooby Doo at PKD. My first 'adult' ride was the Big Bad Wolf at Busch Gardens in 1987.

The ride that hooked me permanently was Space Mountain, Alpha Track, on 8 March 1988.

I'm 36. The first coaster I rode was the Super Screamer at Adventureland in Altoona, Iowa. They took it down in 1999, and I still miss this coaster. Someday I'll make it to Redlands, California so that I can ride it again!

I'm 26. My first coaster was the now defunct Shockwave at Six Flags Great America. I was 10 or 11 and just barely met the height requirement. I remember that I was terrified, but really enjoyed the ride!

I turn 17 tomarrow (Ill be at Cedar Point for the first time on my bday!!!)

And my first coster was Greezed Lightning at SFAW, to bad it was torn down

Wow, I'm sorta surprised how young the board is. But then again, I didn't become what you would call an "enthusiast" until I was at least 16.

Oh, and my first coaster was either Gadget's Go Coaster or Big Thunder Mountain at Disneyland (I think I rode Big Thunder before I turned 9, when Toontown opened, but I have a memory of riding Gadget's and thinking it was my first, so I'm not really sure).

i'm 14, and my first rollercoaster was space mountain at disneyland, but not counting that, my first was colossus, at sfmm

^^^ They didn't! Joyland in Texas brought and and will build it for 2007.

My first coaster was Screamin Eagle at SFStL. I was 10 years old.

I'm 22, and my first coaster was Python in Efteling, pure Vekoma Double Loop Corkscrew pwnage.

I was 12 at the time.

Judge Roy Scream at Six Flags over Texas, that's a fun ride for being short!
