coasterking912 Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 The Beastie when I was like 6. That was the first time I went to KI or any amusement park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
italianchef Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 The first coaster I ever rode was a kiddie coaster at either the Queens or Dutchess County Fair when I was a small boy. And the first real coaster I rode when I was a teenager at Six Flags Great Adventure in New Jersey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dare-to-fly Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 My first Roller coaster was the Serpent at Lesourdsville Lake/Americana! I cant wait till it is built at Kokomo, I will be there eventually! Looks like we have two things in common in the same post! My first wooden coaster then was the good ole Screechin' Eagle a few years later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOB_TOM Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 My first was The Beastie, but I mark my cherry being popped when I rose Vortex for the first time. My dad made me sit up in the front seat, and I was freaking out when the walkway dropped off. Of course, I was like 6 at the time (its good to be tall when your young) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, I was like 6 at the time (its good to be tall when your young) My friend ben rode The Vortex when he was around 6 or 7 and that was his 1st coaster,and his leg got stuck in the automatic gates,so they gave him & his mom free tickets,and now hes absolutely scared of coasters!

Beast1979 Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 ^There was Sooby Doo (later Called Fairly Odd Coaster) There was Scooby Zoom (Later called Little Bill's Giggle Coaster) And There was Scooby's Ghoster Coaster Plus there's the dark ride: Scooby Doo and The Haunted Castle So it's easy to get confused.

Guest faceoff Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 My first rollercoaster ride was on The Racer when i was ten years old at Kings Island. I have been hooked ever since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markr Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 When I was a kid, there was this tiny little park in Reading called Pee Wee Valley. It had a litttle kiddy coaster which just went around in a circle. I guess I would say that was my first coaster if we are going to count all coasters, including kiddy rides. My first adult coaster was of course the Shooting Star at old Coney. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiSab Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 I had a trial by fire, if you will. First coaster was CP's Raptor. And I've been hooked ever since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hans1208 Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 The Scooby Doo...I mean The Beastie...I mean the Fairly Odd Coaster. No matter the name, it's still a great little ride. I have some good memories riding it with my dad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastersRZ Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 My first ride was aboard The Beastie back in 1987. And to top it off, it was a back seat ride, with my hands up (so what if my hands were held up by my aunt, and it was before the lift hill! And I have picture proof of it. My first roller coaster ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesv7 Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 Lets see back in 78 my first coaster was Scooby-Doo and in 79 my second coaster was The Beast. My step dad got me to ride The Beast by telling me that it wasn't any different than Scooby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mighty Mouse Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 My first coaster was the Bavarian Beetle at Kings Island. I was about 8 and almost came out of the seat. Scared me so much that it took 5 years before I got on another coaster. But once I started riding them again, I rode every one in the park!

KIBeast Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 I gotta share this story about my niece's first big coaster. My sister, brother-in-law, and I went to KI sometime early 90's. My niece had been on smaller coasters, but nothing the size of even Top Gun or Adventure Express. My niece was just getting to the right height to ride. So, we convinced her to walk the pathway of Top Gun just to "look" at it. Then, when we got real close, we told her that we couldn't back out of line and we had to ride. She loved it!
