My first coaster was the Beastie at Kings Island which is now called the Fairly OddCoaster and is now a mere shadow of its formerly cool self.

My first coaster was the Big Dipper at Camden Park(Huntington,Wv).My first major coaster was The Racer at KI, my mom had to pay $5.00 to ride it. That was about 30 years ago. I've had fun ever since. I guess you can say is, it is all down hill from there (ha ha).
My first was also Intamin's first...Jr. Gemini!!!
First moderatly sized was Blue Streak. I remember barely fitting on, and that is about it. After Blue Streak was Iron Dragon, and it just kept going up from there.
My first coaster was Jumbo Jet. Then I rode Blue Streak and Cedar Creek Mine Ride on the same trip.

My first coaster was Jr. Gemini...
My first "big" coaster was either Disaster Transport or Blue Streak, I can't remember as I was 5 or 6 at the time.
Then my first coaster with inversions was Raptor when I was 8.

My first coaster was the little dipper at Kennywood too, followed by the kiddie coaster "Screaming Eagle" (or something to that effect) at the Myrtle Beach Pavilion R.I.P.
First "adult" coaster was the racer at KI, and the same summer I rode all the coasters at Kennywood including Steel Phantom which was my first "Big" coaster.

Alright..... my first coaster was The Beast. I was 12 and scared out of my wits, but I enjoyed the ride... but my first steel coaster... Millie, when I was 21 (5 years ago.) Yup, I hated and stayed away from any ride that wasn't wooden. I think it was because I was afraid it wasn't as stable as wood, but whatever. My friends talked me into going onto the Demon Drop, and I hated it. The jerk at the end hurt my neck so much... but something clicked. I wanted to go on Millie.
They wanted to take it easy by riding Gemini, Corkscrew, Magnum and Raptor first, but I wasn't having it. I was the one behind the group, pushing people into line, and telling people it'd be fine. After that, I went on the Dragster. That was the ride of my life. My riding partner passed out so I had to describe to her what happened on the ride when we got off. Luckily she didn't wet herself like some of the people I've seen coming off TTD.
For some reason though, Millie doesn't feel the same anymore, and Dragster only gives me a thrill because I can torture friends who are waiting in line with me, (the ones who can take it... I never talk people out of riding a coaster, always into riding bigger and newer ones,) and their fear/excitement stimulates mine. I still love coasters though, it's just a completely unique experience and each one feels different based on terrain, theming, and altitude, (as in location to sea level.)
