A lot of firsts...

[twixmix0303]

This has probably already been discussed before, but I was looking at the coasters and there are a lot of firsts for the park.

American Eagle (1981) - opened as the world's tallest and fastest coaster, and is still the world's tallest and fastest wooden racing coaster

Shockwave (1988) - opened as the world's tallest coaster

Iron Wolf (1990) - B&M's first coaster

Batman: The Ride (1992) - world's first inverted roller coaster

Raging Bull (1999) - world's first hyper twister roller coaster

If you know any others, post them here!

Viper - first and only coaster built in house by Six Flags Incorporated Correct?

[sixflagsguy5]

Yes i think thats all. Not sure about viper though.

[Ilovthevu']

Yes, that's true about Viper.

This might seem trivial, but did SFGAm have the first Batman Stunt Show and ampitheater?

[SFGAm Rules]

Shockwave: Opened with most inversions: 7.

Iron Wolf opened as the world's tallest and fastest stand-up looping coaster

[Chitown]

Shockwave also opened as the fastest coaster.

Tidal Wave opened as the tallest steel coaster (they didn't argue full circuit back then).

Both Demon's (SFGAm and PGA) opened with the most inversions (4).

Both SFGAm and PGA's log flumes (Yankee Clipper and Logger's Run) opened as the tallest flume rides.

Both Columbia Carousels opened as the tallest merri-go-rounds and that record continues today.

That's all I can add for now.

Z-Force: The first(and only) space diver coaster.
Isn't American Eagle still the worlds longest racing coaster also?
