My first rollercoaster ever was the Bobbaan in the Efteling.
My first inversions were on Tornado (now defunct) in Walibi Belgium, while it was still called Walibi Wavre.

My first was probably one of the ones at Disneyland; I think Big Thunder Mountain Railroad was the first. As far as non-Disney, "adult" coasters go, the first I was dragged on to was Ghostrider at age 7. It scared the shit out of me. My first looper was Windjammer, which kept me off loopers until my 14th birthday when I decided to try out Silver Bullet. -

Windjammer (red track) at Knott's when I was 7 is the first one I remember for certain. Although it might have been Cactus Coaster at Elitch Gardens a year or two before (it was called Wild Kitten back then) since my earliest theme park memory is of that park when I was not tall enough for any of the big rides yet. -

@RamSam: Knott's lawsuits over Windjammer were what ended TOGO, if I remember correctly.
@olddtfan: Lucky! The Idora Wildcat was considered one of the best back in its day. It's so sad that it got bulldozed for a church project that never even broke ground.
...A second reason that I dislike churches, the other being the impenetrable 'musky' smell that seems to pervade all of them -

My first roller coaster was the oldest operating steel roller coaster in North America- Little Dipper at Memphis Kiddie Park.
Ha, you brought back a good memory walto. I grew up in Cleveland area myself. I totally forgot all about this place until you mentioned it. I remember riding this back in the early to mid 80's myself as a kid too. Thanks for bringing back a good memory. -

The first roller coaster I rode was ''Le Monstre'', translated it mean Monster. It's a dueling wooden roller coaster, pretty good. I think a couple of years ago it was nominated as one of the best roller coasters or something like that, I don't remember what it was exactly. It's also one of La Ronde's oldest coaster (btw La Ronde is the park). Today, that coaster remains my top 3 coaster. Also, I think I was 8 or 9 years old, was pretty scary by the time, I also remember it was night time. -

My first looper was the B:TR clone at Six Flags Over Texas. I threw up. I guess I was 8. -

Hey DJ Swangler, are you speaking french (just asking because I'm also living in Quebec).
Anyway, my first roller coaster was probably Le Monstre at La Ronde or this roller coaster : http://www.rcdb.com/191.htm -

I believe my first coaster was the ''Kopermijn'' (copper mine, actually a standard wild mouse) at Drievliet. As for my first looper it was a classic: Python, at de Efteling.
