JoshC. Posted February 7, 2014 Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benin Posted February 7, 2014 Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 First coaster - Vampire First Inverting coaster - Nemesis Some top quality right there... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldFarmerDean Posted February 7, 2014 Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 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?

Doc Posted February 7, 2014 Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coaster Posted February 7, 2014 Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pluk Posted February 8, 2014 Report Share Posted February 8, 2014 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!

GladiatorFanKyle Posted February 8, 2014 Report Share Posted February 8, 2014 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mitchada04 Posted February 8, 2014 Report Share Posted February 8, 2014 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.

EC! Posted February 8, 2014 Report Share Posted February 8, 2014 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GladiatorFanKyle Posted February 8, 2014 Report Share Posted February 8, 2014 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coaster Posted February 8, 2014 Report Share Posted February 8, 2014 Yes they do seem to be pinning the restraints more nowadays, which annoys me as I like the float/airtime! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Posted February 8, 2014 Report Share Posted February 8, 2014 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.

Han30 Posted February 8, 2014 Report Share Posted February 8, 2014 You will go on Rock Rage but you wont go on Rush??? rock rage if anything is 10 times worse 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 Back on topic - First coaster (powered) - Runaway train CWOA First coaster - Vampire CWOA First inverted coaster - Space Mountain DLP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark9 Posted February 9, 2014 Report Share Posted February 9, 2014 First Coaster - Runaway Mine Train at Chessie in 1992 First inverting coaster - Corkscrew in 2000.
