Mine was on the Silver Streak at Riverview in Chicago.It scared the heck out of me,I was a little kid.
My first roller coaster ever was Dragon Mountain at Marineland Theme Park in Niagara Falls, Ontario when I was 8. For a first roller coaster it was pretty good, 186' tall, 50 mph, and 4 inversions. As for my first roller coaster at Cedar Point, that was either Mean Streak or Gemini (can't remember which one) 2 summers ago.

Mine was the Comet at Hersheypark.

The Tornado at Adventureland. It scared the crap out of me and I swore I would never ride it ever again. Then I did the next summer, and the summer after that....And I now consider it to be the start of my roller coaster obsessiveness :) *** Edited 3/12/2005 7:25:57 PM UTC by CarrieS***
That will have to be Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, Disneyland, sometime in June 1981.
I thought it was the greatest at the time...
My first CP coaster was Raptor, May 9 2003...
My first coaster ever was Magnum. I was 12 at the time. I loved it! After that ride, Cedar Point was my favorite place on Earth.

My first coaster was the Great Bear at Hershey park 2 weeks after it opened. Since that i have rode coaster i see expecially B.M. coasters.
The wooden coaster at LeSourdesville Lake, which at the time was known as the Cyclone. I was just a little guy, probably 1960 or so. No experiences after that until 1966 when a friend talked me into the Blue Streak, our last ride of the night. We got the front seat (lucky!) and although I tried not to show it I was terrified all the way up the lift. I was stunned by the first drop, (it was very high for the time) and the two airtime hills after that took my breath away. Needless to say by the time we were back in the station I had figured out that riding a roller coaster was some of the best fun anyone could have anywhere. I will always love the Blue Streak, and rank it as one of my favorites.
