Your first rides: What was a hit hit you and what wasn't

When I rode the Magnum for the first time on June 2nd , 1989 I fell in love instantly with this ride. Previously Gemini was my favorite roller coaster.

When I rode Raptor for the first time in 1994 I loved this ride too.

Other rides that I really enjoyed right off the bat were Gemini, Iron Dragon, Ocean Motion, Shoot-the -Rapids, Woodstock Express, Giant Wheel and Chaos.

Millennium Force's first ride was just so-so but the second ride a month later finally knocked the Magnum off its top spot.

Mantis and Corkscrew were slow starters for me as well.

A disappointmet for me so far was maXair. I was excited about it and liked Delirium at PKI and maxair started out nice but I did start to get dizzy. Maybe it was a bad day. I've had that happen before. Maybe the second time will be the charm.

My First Ride at Cedar Point was Raptor in 2001.

I loved it, of course I was scared waiting for the coaster train to climb the lift hill for the first time, but once we started the decent It was great.

I remember always wanting to ride Iron Dragon as a kid. Once I got the chance I never wanted to get back on the thing...

My first coaster was Magnum. I was instantly addicted to roller coasters after that first ride.

My first ride ever at Cedar Point was in the General Lee (the kiddy ride cars used ti be themed to Dukes of Hazzrd). I went in a circle about 3oo times honking the horn again and again and again. It was 1981...

My first coaster was the Cedar Creek Mine Ride. I probably rode it 15 times that day, as there was never, ever any kind of line. I used to get so scared as it went over the water. :)

My first ride at CP was Millennium Force in the back seat, it was crazy.

I think the second time in the front was better, not only did I almost black out, but at the top of the last over-banked turn I felt like I was going to fly out. It was just a huge lateral push, it was wierd.

My first ride was the midway carousel when I was 6 years old. That would be 1993. Oh My God! I can't believe it's been thirteen years since my first Cedar Point visit. Just imagine no Raptor, Mantis, MF, TTD, Wicked Twister, Power Tower, and maXair in the skyline. Those were the days.... Ahhhhhh.

My first ride was Blue Streak. Ive ridden that ride soooo many times. That was 1994. In 1996, my grandpa tricked me into going on Magnum, I never rode another roller coaster 'till 2000. I rode Raptor, it was the most amazing moment of my life. That day, I went on to ride every coaster in the park.
you craZy

Mine was the demon drop and Blue streak!
I was like 7.

My first roller coaster was the Jr. Gemini. I remember I was four.

My first roller coaster ever was The Vortex at PKI. Thats quite a coaster for a first time rider. I was very scared of roller coasters but a good friend forced me on, the whole ride was a stream of every "bad word in the book" from start to finish. When it was over I realized that it was the most awesome thing ever. I was hooked from then on.

My first coaster at CP was Blue Streak. Its a tradition for the Cross Country team at my school to ride that together first. Just after that I rode Millennium Force for the first time and it became my favorite and still is.

Stop Pre!

(sorry, that was for J. Trick)

My first coaster at Cedar Point was Magnum when I was 8 years old. I was terrified of it, but now I love it.

My first ride at CP was Wave Swinger. It was my first time there in 2003 and we went by it and I convinced my cousins to go on it because I thought I loved swing rides so much. It turns out they aren't as fun as I remembered. My first coaster was either Mean Streak or Gemini, but I'm pretty sure it was Mean Streak. I loved it and never had a fear of riding anything from there on out.

Jr. Gemini was my first of course. At the time, I thought it was the greatest thing, but then a few years later, and a few inches taller, I rode Maggie. Nothing can beat that first time going up the hill, the noise of the chain, and how scared I was. But I loved it. Look where it took me now, (A.C.E.). I am so glad I was able to start out on such a great ride.

I gotta go with Magnum to when i rode it for the first time in July of 1995. It was my favorite then. I loved it. I loved wicked Twister from the beginning and top thrill dragster instantely became the best ride ever to me the first time i rode it in the fall of 2003.

Frog Hopper, 1998, my favorite kiddie ride of all time ;)

My first CP coaster had to be Jr. Gemini, but I hated it, too boring at 5 years old.

Of course, I rode Magnum in some other year and ever since it has been my favorite coaster anywhere, rivaled only by The Beast. Every time I rode a newer, bigger ride it was better, millenium is probably my third favorite but ther's something about Magnum.

Then my favorite thrill rides ever became Demon Drop and Calypso. I was a daring little 5-6 year old. XD

My first ride at CP was the magnum in 89 and I have loved that ride ever since and it still is my favorite coaster. I was excited when Mean Streak opened, but it was a big let down for me because I was hoping for more air time which MS doesn't have any.

Avalance Run in 1986. I was barely tall enough.

My first ride at CP was in 1966 and frankly, I don't remember what it was.

I can say my first ride on a coaster at CP was CCMR, and once I finally rode Blue Streak, I was in the beginning stages of becoming a coaster lover and I rode BS, Jumbo Jet and Wildcat over and over.

The only disappointment was my first ride on Mantis.
