If I dont get out of here and find me a sweet bus station skank, I might do something disgusting that I might really regret!

First coaster ride I can remember was the Blue Streak!
Mine was the Comet at The Great Escape in Lake George, NY (oringinally Crystal Beach Cyclone changed into the Crystal Beach Comet then moved to The Great Escape) and I've ridden it about 200 times, and it's still a great ride. It's a bigger Blue Streak. First at CP was Millie.
Any fellow detroiters might be able to relate. My first ride was the corkscrew at Bob-lo.
First Coaster ever: It was this little kiddie ride at a fair. I don't know if anyone here knows/saw/remembers it, but it had like an alligator head at the front. Anyway, it just went around the track with little waves in the track(not even close to being a hill of sorts)

First Coaster at CP: Jr. Gemini! in 1989(It was the only coaster I could go on.
------------------
Metallica, Magnum and Mountain Dew, and finally turning 21...what could be better?

'Rollo Coaster'

Idlewild Amusement, Ligonier Pennsylvania. Summer of 1985.

520, 500+, 160. prepare.

A small amusement park in southern NH, Canobie Lake Park. The Yankee Cannonball was my first and still one of my favorite.


My motto:"If you can't live life on the edge, kill yourself."
My first CP was Disaster Transport. It was the only ride there that actually had a line when I went.

Thats easy my first rollar coaster ride was on the Jr. Gemini at Cedar Point, and at the time I loved it. :)a
Cedar Creek Mine Ride...It scared me to death.

I had my eyes closed for half the ride was holding on as tightly as I could...got to love that final helix.

Launching out of Louisiana in 89 days!

Mine was Big Thunder Mountain Railroad at Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom. I was 7.

First CP coaster = Iron Dragon.

The truth is out there...

My first coaster was the Loch Ness Monster at Busch Gardens, Williamsburg. I was scared out of my shorts. After that I was hooked and wanted to go on Alpengeist, unfortunately, I was only seven and not tall enough.
Unless you count the Junior Gemini(which was quite the thrill when I was a wee child), it was the Blue Streak.

Enjoy your ride on the Big Bad Bug

First coaster, Jr. Gemini. First big coaster, Magnum XL-200.

I did a little bit of research on my first coaster. It was called the Wabash Cannonball (and it was an Arrow looper) at Opryland. It's now rotting in a field somewhere in Indiana. How depressing!

Is it May now?
------------------
My need for speed is second only to my need to be inverted! No wonder Raptor is my favorite!

At least it wasn't torn down and replaced with condos like my first coaster was.

I'd rather die living than live like I'm dead
