Your First "Real" Roller Coaster

My first "real" roller coaster was MF. My friends first EVER was TTD. So I just wanna hear some of your stories about your first "real" roller coaster ride.

Sky Streak - Boblo Island - http://youtu.be/BFSp5ucjeos

Wildcat at Lake Compounce in 1966

I didn't realize Gemini was imaginary. Anyway, my first was Big Dipper at Geauga Lake.

Can't remember which one I rode first, either Scooby Doo at KI and Mine Ride at CP.

The Blue Streak at Conneaut Lake Park.

Blue Streak at Cedar Point. The year it opened.

Iron Dragon 1987! or Gemini same year

When I was a kid, Mine Ride was viewed as a kiddie coaster (pretty sure the height requirement was shorter). So I view my first real coaster as being Blue Streak.

Wooden coaster at Glen Echo in Maryland. Swore I would never go on another one. Ok, that was about 50 years ago. Grandson got me on Woodstock Express. Think I will stick to watching coasters.

Idora Park's Wildcat

The way I see it, if a coaster wasn't specifically built to be a kiddie coaster then it's a real coaster. It might be dull, boring or lame or whatever but unless we're talking the equivalent of Woodstock Express or Jr Gemini it qualifies as a "real" coaster.

Big Dipper at Chippewa Lake Park. My first coaster was actually the Little Dipper at the same park, but that was more of a kiddie coaster.

The Racer at KI, 1972 the year they both opened.

Blue Streak in 2007. a big thrill when you are 7 years old.

Space Mountain, 1984 on a field trip with my older sister's class. Since the teachers figured since we were siblings we would rat each other out on any trouble we would get into, they let us go unchaperoned in the park. before then I had only been on carnival rides so i was blown away at the whole MK experience.

First coaster was Beastie at KI. It's still there, but they call it something else now. It's the wooden roller coaster in kiddieland. I was 5 or 6. I'm 35 so when I was 12 I was tall enough to ride the ones that were built in that day and age. If Gemini doesn't count for you that only leaves the Beast and Racers as real coasters I had ever rode.

I rode Vortex the year it opened. I rode Magnum the year it opened. Mean Streak when it opened.

Alot of new technologies have been developed in the roller coaster field in the last 20+ years. I don't think the definition of a roller coaster has changed though.

First upside-down coaster was Double Loop at Geauga lake.
