Serial Thriller at WoA. I went on that ride so many times, now I wouldn't ride it if someone paid me.

The day I went on my first looper (at SFGAdv) I went on Batman: The Ride, then went on Viper. After Viper I didn't ride sit down loopers for like a year lol. I was like "No it'll hurt!!!!". Then I went on Sea Serpent in Wildwood and loved it cuz it was smooth. Now I could care less if a coaster is bumpy or not.

Well, because I've been going on roller coasters since I was 4, it's kind of hard to recall, but I'll do my best. It was either some ride at Opryland USA (meaning it's closed) or Mindbender at Six Flags GA. I remember how bad I wanted to go on the mindbender because I had these videos where they take trips to random places (took one to a Farm, Post Office) and show all the asspects of them. Well, one was to Six Flags GA, and they went on an Orange roller coaster and when I went to Six Flags GA, I saw it was the mindbender. I went on it and it felt so cool to be going on the ride that they went on on that tape. Of course, mindbender is green now, isn't it?

The Mindbender is now a lime green, mainly because they turned that section of the park into a gotham-themed area (the Mindbender is related to the Joker I guess). It used to be a rusty brown rather that orange.

Well my first looper was Lazer @ Dorneypark, but i closed my eyes in the loops so that doesn't really count. My first one where I didn't close my eyes was Rock N' Roller Coaster @ MGM.

If life is a roller coaster, why can't it be an enjoyable one?

wow, it looks like the Demon was the first looper for alot of people. although its one of those rides that isn't too scary for the first time rider, and at the same time, is always alot of fun, even many years later...

Mind Eraser as SF Darien Lake. I rode it in 98' (when I was 8) and my coaster career started in 97', obviously, when I was 7. Quite a jump, I must say.
