First Looping Rollercoaster

[INfusionBPBrules!]

I suppose it's like your first kiss, the first time upside down on a coaster. So, what was yours?
Mine, for the record is that piece of Gertslauer greatness at Adventure Island (Southend), Rage.

I knew we'd had this topic before, but to be fair it was all the way back on page 16 of General Discussions so I don't blame you for not finding it.

Maybe one of our cool, super-duper mods can merge the threads or sumat?

Anyways, mine was Revolution at BPB, back in the day when it was the only coaster (in the UK) that featured an inversion.

My first inversions now stand proud and purple outside their former home.

My first coaster with inversions seemingly gets greener with every year that comes. It's Magic Mountain in Gardaland.

Rock’n’Rollercoaster at Disney’s Hollywood studios

Lethal Weapon Pursuit in Warner Bros Movie World for me. Unfortunately I won't be able to ever ride it again though, it's been dismantled in 2006.

Canobie Corkscrew at Canobie Lake was my first coaster to invert (corkscrew) But the Black Widow at Riverside (SFNE) was my first 'vertical loop'
Although I'd done looping flats before getting onto a looping coaster <3

Good old Nessie, Busch Gardens Williamsburg.

Corkscrew at Cedar Point! I still remember yelling to my mom, "First time going upside down"!

 

[CSLKennyNI]

Black Mamba at Phantasialand.

Corkscrew, Cedar Point.

Tower of Terror at Camelot.

My friend refused to believe she wouldn't fall out on the loop because it only had a lap bar so I had to ride alone. Her loss... it was ace.

Corkscrew at Alton Towers - September '97
Surprised that's not been anyone else's yet!

Everyone has such exciting first loopers.
... mine was Turbo at Brighton Pier :emoji_cry:

Mine was also Turbo at Brighton Pier

Air at Alton Towers. Immediately became my favourite coaster too – that is until I rode Nemesis a year later, anyway!

Rock 'n Rollercoaster at WDW Florida. I was young and terrified of coasters, but my parents told me it was just be a tame kiddie coaster. Seeing the trains before mine launch into the tunnel scared the crap out of me, but I absolutely loved the ride itself. Glad they lied to me about it, otherwise I would've been too scared to ride anything for at least another 5 years.

You've missed one.
