My first coaster was Demon. It was in 1980, er 1990 on a field trip. :mrgreen: Not on purpose, I sat in the first row. It seemed to take an eternity.

My first coaster was a little coaster in the lake county fair back in 1998.That summer we got season passes to six flags and my first big coaster was whizzer.Now I have gotten on all the rides at sfgam and my favorite is whizzer,as some of you may notice.Whizzer holds a lot of memories,it was the last coaster that my grandma rode before she died. :cry:
Whizzer is the best roller coaster in MY WORLD!

Some people take roller coasters as rides,some as passions,I take them as life!

Fright Fest Rocks!!!!

1. Demon
2. Whizzer
Ahh the rain drop, the perfect aerodynamic shape. It is actually formed by the air around it.

My first coaser was Whizzer. I think I was 4 or 5 back then. Demon was the first coaster with inversions, but I actually rode Raging Bull before that. It seems a lot of people had Whizzer as their first coaster, which is understandable.

I got to the steps of Whizzer and chickened out, only to go on Demon later once it got dark out. After that I was hooked.

Since this was brought back up, I would have to say it was this sucker, the Swiss Tobaggan, at Santa's Village.

My first roller coaster ever was Whizzer because I was so little and couldn't ride the big ones and I was also just way to scared. But my first big ride was Batman. I was so scared. I was like 8 or 9. I was so scared in line and I thought I was going to throw up just because I was so nervous. But then when I got off, I just loved it.

Is that the same one as the Toboggan ride at Little Amerika?

I am pretty sure that this was my first "big" coaster.

Really, what year did that happen to you?

EDIT: Where on the ride did this happen, 1st loop, 2nd loop, corkscrew?
It's the most fun in the park when your laughing in the dark.
