ok, so today i had a trip with my school to 6 flag's marine world, i was pissed scared since i had never been on a roller coaster before, i was forced by my friends to go in to this one ride called "V2" IT WAS THE MOST SCARING THING IN MY LIFE!!!! but then when the ride was over I went on it 5 more times!!

I cannot believe that i lived 14 years of my life and not ridden a roller coaster before

who here has been in a roller coaster, and what did you think about your first ride??

[Azuma_Ninja]

I remember the first time I was on a rollercoaster I was afraid it would fly off the tracks. Now I love going on rollercoasters, though I haven't been to my local theme park in a very long time

You havent Ridden a real coster untill youve been to Cedar Point in Sandusky Ohio. I go there quite a bit being that im from Toledo Ohio, its just about 45 minutes away. Ive ridden every coaster there with the exception of thir newest, the Top Thrill Dragster. I plan on hitting that one VERY soon. Ive been to Kings Island and all that and let me tell you. THEY DO NOT COMPARE to Cedar Point. I suggest if you like costers to plan a trip to CP its WELL WORTH THE TRIP

Who here hasn't heard of Paramount's Kings Dominion? I just found out recently that not everyone has heard of it.

ANyway, don't worry about it I think I have you beat. I don't think I had been on a roller coaster til I was about 15 I think. I wasn't too hyped up about going on one and it wasn't as bad as I thought, but it was one of those things that I don't think I could ever do again. I haven't been on one since, my fear is the heights. I was told my face was very pale when I got off by my mom.

I have never been on a roller coaster untill last year, when I went to Balck pool pleasure beach. Went on every single ride, it was brill, now ive done qutie alot, alton and the the others.

Me too Dan. Did you evr go on the Playstation at the pleasure beach? That was mint. But I think Alton towers is the best place really if you want roller coasters in England, except of course the pepsi max. Why DID they ever call it that?

we (my year at school) went for a day trip before our GCSEs, which means that I've been to all the big ones in this country (Air, Nemesis and Oblivion at AT, The Vampire at Chessington's and Collosus at Thorpe Park). Nemesis is still the best though, Oblivion and Collosus are pretty damned good as well (i love all roller-coasters though ^_^ ... and not just roller-coasters: Anything that spins you around and makes you McDonalds spill over the pavement... and then theres Professor Burp's Bubble Works!)

The only rides I don't like a Pirate Ships... Just don't feel safe to me... (and I don't get to any foreign Theme Parks. Hell, i've only been out of the Country for 4 days in my entire life )

I dont quite agree with you there. To me, pirate ships are much safer than rollercoasters such as the Nemesis. They just swing a bit they dont fly this way, that way and the the other way in a couple of seconds. They have a kind of old-school feel to them as well. Pirate ships are really much safer than rollercoasters though in my opinion.

nah... its not so much the motion, but the configuration of the stuff thats keeping you in the ride. I'd take one of the shoulder lock thingys over a pissy-little bar any-day! Sitting on the back of a Pirate Ship makes me feel like I'm just going to pop over my seat and fall to my death when it gets pratically vertical

southern california is the land of roller coster/theme parks,we got knott'sberry farm, Universal Studios, Disney Land and the mother of them all Six flags Magic Mountain, been to all of them, ridden every rides/coaster, yep great moments.

I rode my first at Cedar Point when I was about 12 or 13. it was the Mantis, a stand up roller coaster.

I love those Pirate ship rides. It was the first cool ride i ever went on, i think I was like 7, maybe younger. I can see how it could bother people, i mean your only secured by that little bar and your free to slide right or left. But still, they wouldnt be in operation unless they were extremly safe.

Im sure all those coasters you guys listed are sweet, but i still urge you all to hit rides like, The Mantis, Mellenium Force, Power Tower, Raptor, Magnum, etc, at Cedar Point. They have the tallest and fastest coasters in the world and have been voted Best Coaster Park in the country like 5 years in a row. Man, youd think i was getting payed to advertise for them

First time in a rollercoaster? that was when i went to Wonderland here in Toronto...actually in Maple.
Its a cool theme park, the first time i went i went on about 60% of the rides excluding the kids park.
The first ride was TOPGUN. I had to go to the washroom BADLY when i was standing in line, you wouldnt believe that coaster. I went 4 times that day, i stopped when my leg almost hit the support...eh...i was too loose on the seatbelt too...that was a warning for myself.
Thing is, i always hated rollercoasters and those kinda rides...i really did, till i went on one and here i am..havent gone to the park since last last summer maybe?
Its worth everything, everyones first time is usually the one that changes your life.

Well you probably havent been on the same pirate ship as me. The bar locks down like in a rollercoaster and it goes as high as it can go.

[Zephyr]

Im not to sure, just to make sure, I mean the horror house when you just enter the gates, the picture of the house is like a man in a white mask, with blood coming out of his mouth. It is run by spanish peeps.

[Zephyr]

Cool, sounds like it got much better since I was there last. OK - have any of you been on ay really LAME rides or rollercoasters. How about we knock the twirlers off for a start because thats obvious.
