What was your first roller coaster at Cedar Point?
Jr. Gemini

If she weighs as much as a duck, she's made of wood, and therefore a witch.

Yeah, let's hear it for the old guys! My first CP coaster ride was the Little Dipper, an Allan Herschell portable that was set up in Kiddieland for several seasons back in the early 1960's. Does anyone else remember that one? I think there were also those hand cars nearby, too. The Frances book shows this coaster.
I was too short for the Blue Streak for its first couple of years. That was my first big ride at Cedar Point, although I'd already conquered everything roller coaster at Euclid Beach. (And my therapist says I had a bad childhood - yeah, right! LOL!!)
Still waiting for a Dinosaur reply!

Photographic philosophy:If it moves at CP-take 1 picture. Not moving-take 3-4 pics minimum!

first coaster was the magnum....my first trip to the park was in 8th grade...waited in 2 coaster lines...mean streak and magnum...all i had time for...loved the magnum. going to work on the magnum this past summer was awesome...it was only my second visit to the park, and i was an employee...absolutely love it
I'll tell you what it wasn't. It wasn't Millenium Force, Mantis, Raptor, Mean Streak, Magnum, or the Iron Dragon. So I guess that would mean it's one of the ones that are left. Dealers choice..........
You know, I just can't remember. After all, that was 17 years ago.

ya got me....Blue Streak! ..and I rode it with my GRAMA!!! It had to be early 60's cause they quit takeing me to CP when the siblings came along and my baby brother was born in 62.
Jr. Gemini when I was either 3 or 4, sometime in the mid 80's. But I didn't ride anything noteworthy (i.e. nothing bigger than Iron Dragon, DT, Mine Ride) until 94 when Raptor opened.
