I ditto Jasper. I first got the guts in 93 to ride The Beastie, then stepped up to The Racer in 96. I technically rode the Keelboats in 92' for my first big ride, but didn't feel like a big kid because it wasn't a roller coaster!
Dang, The Beastie was such a freakin' big deal back then!!! I rode The Beast many years later, in 1998 lol!
