Well since I live 12 hours away and have only been there once and factoring in the way I ride coasters to make them more enjoyable to me, my first one at CP was Blue Streak in 2004.
R.I.P. Mr Scott--I hope you find your lifthill to heaven.
First roller coaster ride was 1999. I had no clue what I was missing.
Blue Streak in 1980. I had moved to the Sandusky area that winter as a job transfer knowing nothing about CP. But of course I had to check it out. I was somewhat less than comfortable with roller coasters but decided I had to try them. Which one first? Gemini looked way too big! Corkscrew? No way was I ready for inversions. WildCat? Done those - surprisingly single car coasters didn't bother me at all so the concern was what full-train coaster to try. CCMR? Didn't realize it was a coaster. So that left Blue Streak. Talked myself on to it ("you're just standing in a line", "you're just sitting down in a train", "you're just climbing a lift hill", "you're just... oh shoot, we're going down"). Needless to say, I loved it, rode them all by the end of the day, and never looked back.
