  • Shoot the Rapids at CP if that counts.

  • I think I figured it out. This was probably around 1985-86. I'm the short little guy in the front.

    Odd. I always imagined your first inverted coaster experience would have been at Flip Flap Railway's media day. Oh, and mine was King Cobra.

Flight of Fear. It seems to be a popular choice since you don't really get the privilege of knowing what you're about to ride.

It was either Vortex or King Cobra. I want to say it was Vortex first and then King Cobra. It was so long ago, details like that tend to blur together. However, being young, I don't see myself riding a coaster with loops while standing up first, I'd be more likely to ride one sitting down before making the leap to a stand-up coaster. That makes the most sense.

Vortex, May of 2009. Though my first ride that went upside-down PERIOD was The Crypt, which I had ridden earlier that day.

The first Coaster I ever rode was also my first "upside down" Coaster. The Wabash Cannonball at the late, great, Opryland.

Mine would be Vortex in 1996 I believe, also The Outer Limits Flight of Fear in 1996 as well. I think I rode them back to back

Either Corkscrew or Super-Loop. I was too scared to ride Screamin' Demon when I was wee little. My cousin rode it with my dad though and then it was gone the next time we went back a year or two later.

Screamin Demon and I was terrified to go upside down.

^^ same here...the launch backwards off the hill was the biggest thrill of all....YIKES!

Vortex on a fall evening during P&G Day. My first Beast night ride immediately followed.

Boy was that an awesome night.

My first was Screamin' Demon. We went through the loop and on the opposite side, with my voice waivering I turned to my uncle sitting next to me and asked "We have to go through that again?!?" My uncle, with a big smile on his face said, "Yeah, backwards!"

Double Loop at Geauga Lake. It was also my first overall as well. The height restriction at the time was 42". Which then I had the awkward stat for a while that the only two coasters I had been on had inversions and had to wait till I was 48" to ride a coaster with out.
