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.

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.

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)

Im not really sure what mine was, i don't think it was at KI though...

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!

Mine was the Scooby Doo at KI. A long time ago........

Wasnt there 2 scooby-doo coasters at KI.One is the fairly odd coaster and the other is now little bills giggle coaster

My frist coaster was also Scooby Doo at Kings Island 1978 or 1979. Kings Island has had 3 coasters named Scooby Doo the one you forgot was the Scooby's Ghoster Coaster.

Well I meant just the name "Scooby-Doo" ;)

^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.

My first rollercoaster ride was on The Racer when i was ten years old at Kings Island. I have been hooked ever since.

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.

I had a trial by fire, if you will. First coaster was CP's Raptor. And I've been hooked ever since. :D

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.

Ok how about a new part of this Topic:

What was your first amusement park?

Mine was Lesourdsville Lake,but I dont remember much then.I went in 1998.Also keep posting what your first coaster was too.

First Coaster: Little Dipper, Americana/Lesourdsville Lake Amusement Park

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.

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!

The Beastie....i still like to ride it. but its to small i can barely fit now

My first coaster was "Dragon Train" in Seoul, Korea. This was the first coater ever built in Korea.

sooper dooper looper Hershey park

the first wooden roller coaster was The Beastie (followed by The Beast)

the first steel coaster was Adventure Express (followed by top gun)

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. :lol: She loved it!

The Racer Backwards, yes I was a daring little kid. And my first amusement park was, big surprise, Kings Island!

My first coaster was "Dragon Train" in Seoul, Korea. This was the first coater ever built in Korea.

Did you ever go to Lotte World? What a great park that is.
