Share Your First Big Rollercoaster Down Below,Me I'd Like To Share My First 5:

1.Nemesis

2.Air

3.Colossus

4.Nemesis Inferno

5.Does X Count?[if Not Then Saw:The Ride

If by 'big coaster' you mean a 1.4m coaster, then my first 3 were:

1) X:\No Way Out

2) Colossus

3) Nemesis Inferno

To be honest, no entirely sure about the order of Colossus and Inferno (did all 3 of those coasters on the same day - oh to finally be 1.4m!), but it sounds about right.

If by 'big coaster' you mean (one of) a park's major coasters, then stick Antelope at Gulliver's World as the first on that list.

First coaster - Vampire

First Inverting coaster - Nemesis

Some top quality right there...

Corkscrew at Alton Towers as if I remember correctly it had a 1.2m height restriction... think I may have done black hole before if that's classed as a big coaster?

First coasters I rode were

1/ The Original Flying Fish Thorpe

2/ The Dragon at Legoland

3/ Jungle Coaster Legoland

My first was the Scenic Railway at Dreamland Margate.

My second was the Dragon coaster at LEGOLAND, followed by the Jungle Coaster.

My first ride at an adult theme park (ie: Thorpe or Alton) was Stealth.

I think mine was Big Dipper at Blackpool Pleasure Beach at the age of 6, although it may have been Megafobia a year before that!

1) Dragon coaster Legoland

2) Jungle coaster Legoland (Good memories there until they put stupid roofs on it)

3) Avalanche BPB (That counts as a rollercoaster right?)

4) Inversion BPB

5, 6, 7) The wooden coasters at BPB

8) Nemesis Thorpe

9) Saw: The Ride Thorpe

10) Colossus Thorpe

I really have no idea, I wish I did.

I would guess either Space Station Zero (Fish!) or some fairly crappy unmemorable pile at an early Pleasurewood Hills may have been first, but they're not big.

'Roller Coaster' at Great Yarmouth was probably one of the first bigger ones, or Scenic Railway at BemBom Brothers (Dreamland).

Mine obviously pre date the bigger (now) Merlin coasters so those were the biggest around at the time. I would guess Corkscrew would have been my first inversion or maybe Thunderlooper, I'm not sure I was tall enough for Corkscrew on earlier visits to Alton before Thunder Looper turned up. The Alton Beast seemed huge when I first rode it, that was probably really early on.

Asking the question has made me want to know, I'll ask my Dad, see if he can remember!

- My first ever rollercoaster was either Vampire or Big Thunder Mountain

- My first major rollercoaster (with an inversion) was Nemesis Inferno

First rollercoaster: Ladybird Coaster at Dreamland

My first Coaster was: Treetops at Oakwood back in 2000

My first Woodie was: Megafobia in 2003

My first big Steel coaster was: Oblivion in 2005

My first big Water Ride was: Hydro/Drenched in 2003

in 2003 I was a tall 6 year old lol

Nemesis Inferno in 2011! Not gonna lie I was scared till then but I did it and now I go on everything! (Except slammer and rush)

You will go on Rock Rage but you wont go on Rush??? rock rage if anything is 10 times worse

Rock Rage has over the head bars and feels secure! Rush has LAP BARS and you are facing the ground which for me is a no no

it doesnt go upside down though?

I'm not too sure what my first big ride was in general, was probably one of Florida Disney rides in 2003 (I think I did Thunder Mountain etc that year). If not, February 2005 for sure when I did all the Disney World coasters (except Rock n Rollercoaster), Gwazi at Busch and if it hadn't broken down Scorpion which would have been my first inverting ride. But later in 2005 I did my first inverting coaster which like many others was Nemesis Inferno.

So in response to the topic question, my first big coaster in the UK was Nemesis Inferno.

it doesnt go upside down though?

yeah but it feels really safe and secure!

It's like that on Rush, these days they seem to make sure they put the restraint on so tight it would crush your nutsack.

oh well that's fine then if they push the bar in to make it extra tight I will ride it

yay

Yes they do seem to be pinning the restraints more nowadays, which annoys me as I like the float/airtime!

Hmmm.. my first big ride.. I'd say big ticket attraction.

Therefore.. Space Mountain (Magic Kingdom). Or Thunder Mountain Railroad if you wanna be boring.

First inverting? Inferno.

Edit: Oh crumbs, UK. Awkward. First big one would have to be X then, if we're saying 1.4m = big.

For ages I vowed to never do Rush or Slammer (due to the restraints) - but finally got the courage to do Rush towards end of season - yeah it is lap bars but they secure really tight - you HAVE to try it
