What was your first coaster?

Mine was the now Defunct "Orient Express" at Worlds of fun in 1999. If anyone has been to Worlds of Fun knows how crappy the new coaster is compared to the Orient Express.

I Loved Orient Express it was my first coaster and will forever be my Favorite.

But Patriot isn't crappy. Will it ever take OE place in my eyes no but far from crappy.

My very first coaster, was the very first coaster to use tubular steel track. The Matterhorn at Disneyland when I was super young... I don't even remember how old I was.

My first coaster at CP was the Cedar Creek Mine Ride, back in 87'.

My first coaster was called "The Screamer" at Boblo Island, which closed in 1993. My first ride at CP and first trip ever was Blue Streak in 1994 and I have been going every year since.

I'm pretty sure my first coaster was Jr. Gemini, at CP in 1981. If you don't want to call that coaster, then my first would probably be either Wildcat, or CCMR, I don't remember anymore!

My first coaster happened to be at Cedar Point. It was Blue Streak in 1979. I was 12. Prior to that I was terrified to get on one. Next would have been Corkscrew if I remember correctly.

My first coaster was the Baby Wildcat at Idora Park in Youngstown. My first coaster at CP was the Gemini the year it opened.

ROLLERCOASTERPSYCHO67-

Was that the smaller wooden coaster towards the back of the park, near the Haunted House dark ride?

If so, that was my first coaster as well. It's a shame that the park burnt down.

Mine was the Ghost Rider at Knotts Berry Farm.

My first was ccrm in 89.
My sons was woodstock express in 2005. he was only 1! and loved every minute of it! Got a great picture with his hands up!

My first coaster was Big Thunder Mountain at Disney World.

The Scooby Zoom at Kings Island, I mean Top Cat's Taxi Jam...crap, I meant the Little Bill Giggle Coaster. ;)

Jack Rabbit, Kennywood. I remember thinking we were flying off the track when we went through the double dip. *** Edited 9/16/2006 2:22:27 AM UTC by davey420***

The Dragon Coaster at Dorney...hahaha does that one even count? My first real coaster would have been the Thunderhawk, also at Dorney.

My first CP coaster was TTD.

Let's here it for the Little Dipper at Memphis Kiddy Park! :)

Big Dipper. Though when I was really young I remember the name Clipper. Anyone know when this changed from Clipper to BD? My 1st at CP was CCMR.

If you scrolled down two topics mine is right there. Do a little search next time. Oh, and mine was Blue Streak. Second favorite woodie.

According to RCDB the name changed from Clipper to Big Dipper in 1969. So I either rode Big Dipper or the Clipper as my 1st, but same coaster either way. Anyone else remember the long wooden levers the ride operators used? I do... I also remember riding BD/C with only the bar that locked into the car, no belts. On one ride it was not locked and I hung on to the side of the car as well as the bar hoping not to fly out. Wow, what a scary ride, and I was just a kid then! TTD would have been a walk in the park compared to that experience! :)

Don't get irritated because he posted his first Cedar Point coaster in a thread that wasn't yours. I would think it better to have one board up than two very similar ones anyway.

Has anyone heard that BPB may be building a 500ft coaster for 07? There are footers all over the park and on the Bridge.

I was helping him by telling him to search. How was I irritated? Also, your second sentence contradicts the first.
