What was your first roller coaster ride and where was it?

[Metallic Strings 185]

What roller coaster was the first one you ever rode and where was it? Mine was timber terror, which is a wooden roller coaster in silver wood theme park. What was your reaction to your first roller coaster? I am going to valleyfair in Minnesota for a school trip on the last week of school which is in a month.

I think it was Shamu's Express at SeaWorld.

My very first roller coaster is the Poltergeist from Six Flags. Very first to the point that I was like...19 or 18 years old XD and I'm 20. I wasn't really into coasters but man, after the ride, I was induced in adrenaline XD wanting to ride the other roller coasters (like the Road Runner)

Though I was scared at the time, but now I love roller coasters!

I wasn't really scared of it. Shamu's Express is pretty fast, but not one of those roller coasters that has loops and stuff.

The first ride I can remember was the Thunderhead at Dollywood. Was when I was about 9 I think, was very fun :3

I went on full throttle which was my first real rollercoaster... this was like last week maybe the week before that. Some dude got gum all over his seat and didnt even clean it. Too funny.

You're not alone. I was was even scared of carnival rides as a kid. when we went to lagoon theme park in Utah, there was a roller coaster called wicked that my mom wanted me to go on, I was so scared that I screamed like I was being kidnapped. In the end, I didn't go on the ride.

Can't remember exactly but here's ones I remember riding when I was a toddler:

- Taxi Jam at California's Great America (was called Paramount's Great America when I first rode it)

- Matterhorn Bobsleds at Disneyland California

- Space Mountain at Disneyland California

- Gadget's Go Coaster at Disneyland California

Does Big Thunder Mountain at Disneyland count?

[MidnightRush 104]

I can't remember the name of it, But it was in Toontown @ Disneyland.

[NotoriousSMALL 1,984]

The cheetah or whatever it's called at Busch Gardens. I use to be terrified of rollercoasters but I just rode that one and then I wanted to ride every single one after that!

It's probably Gadget's Go Coaster (the red colored coaster) because I know that roller coaster is in Toontown. Edited April 25, 2015 by CC_Maud_Pie

I believe that was my first one too. The Gadget's Go Coaster at Disneyland.

Quite possibly. But again, that was back in 1995 when I was last there.

[Creamy Arty 6,252]

Not sure what the first coaster was, but I know it was at King's Dominion in Doswell, Virginia. Not far from where I live. Must have been in the very early 90s, back when Wayne's World was still a thing there. I really miss that...

[Mouse 302]

Flight Deck at California's Great America, probably about 3 or 4 years ago. I remember being so terrified of rollercoasters before that point, but that day I finally decided to ride a "real" one, despite every other part of my body saying not to. On that day, a love of rollercoasters was born.

I second this! This was my first "roller coaster ride" as well.

[Pastel 7,630]

Maybe Le Grand Splatch or Tonnerre de Zeus at Parc Astérix, I don't remember very well...

The Jaguar in Knots Berry Farm California..... I was scared shitless in line..... but then afterwards I wanted to keep going on again and again

[Blue Moon 6,341]

Mine was The Loch Ness Monster at Busch Gardens Williamsburg. Very fun, though I'm still scared of most roller coasters.
