Coaster Zone: The Rollercoaster Social Network

What do you remember of the first time you ever rode a REAL rollercoaster?

How old were you, why were you there, what was it, what did you feel before, during & after?

.......................................................................................

For me it was a ride called "The Wild Mouse" during a family holiday to a Butlins (Butlitz!) holiday camp at Pwllheli (Wales), I was about 10 years old. As I was queueing I was scared that my folks would see me and drag me out of the line. The ride wasn't anywhere near as scary as it looked from the ground but afterwards I was SO proud that I'd done something Mum & Dad frowned upon.



I found this about peoples recollections of this camp, there are some special memories there

Good question
What do you remember of the first time you ever rode a REAL rollercoaster?
Well my first coaster was Flying Fish at Thorpe Park.

I think I was about 5 or 6 at the time,

Their was no real reason why we went their on that day. (but their never really is a reason).

Slight nervouse in the queue line because I did not know what to expect.

Slightly proud because it was my first coaster.

At the end I was just proud that I went on it.
(If it was not for that day I might not off started this forum and got a passion for Theme Parks and Coasters)

Well this is right now the most popular ShoveHost.com Forum so I'm glad you went on that roller coaster!

Probally Vampire in Chessigton World of Adventures, round about 8 I would say. Scared the shit out of me, and promised myself I would never go on a roller coaster again. Thank god I broke that promise half a year later!

My first coaster, I think was Ladybird/Rattlesnake/Snake in the Grass at Pleasurewood Hills. Great Fun that coaster

If I remember correctly the first coaster I ever went on was Vampire (Chessington world Of Adventures)

Well my first coster was at cedar point! I was 12. And that was the rapter! When I got one it I started crying on the way up. Then when it was done I thought it was great

I was about 6 years old and I rode Runaway Reptar (now Woodstock Express) at California's Great America.

My first time upside down was actually on Colossus (Thorpe Park).

First inversion was on Gauntlet, Camelot. I remember being really nervous in the queue and not wanting go on it due to the loop. I ended up loving it.

Though it was mainly Kumali, This coaster also helped me get into coasters.
