I'm a chicken! I didnt start until around the 4th grade (12th grade now). I started off with the good old (really old) Giant Dipper @ Santa Cruz.

I actually liked the looks of them but I was simply scared of them. I'd get confident of riding them until I meet them face to face! Now, I'll ride anything without hesitation

I got interest in rollercoasters when I was 7 or 8 years old (now Im 16)when I saw a program about rollercoasters on tv. Unfortunately theres not many coasters in Norway and I didnt get a chance to ride one until last summer when I rode a pinfari looper at the fair. Then it was off to Tusenfryd one week later to ride Thundercoaster. Wohooo, it was great [:D]

As soon as I was tall enough to ride Space Mountain at Disney World (in 1st grade), I was hooked. Then I rode my first "real" coaster, "The Beast" at King's Island, the following spring.

I started liking coasters at about eight, but I was really really scared of them so I didn't go on one until I was around ten

i first got interested when my uncle took me on one of those cheap carnie roller coasters. it was called scream machine and it was just one gigantic loop that held you upside down for a while when it got enough momentum. now i like all coasters

I loved roller coasters for a while now, My dad and a few other family members have worked at a few parks, Cedar Point, Kennywood, Hershey Park & Dorney Park being some of them. I've been ridding them since I was 6(I'm now 16, I'll be 17 on July 13, 2003) , the first roller Coaster that I had ridden without any hesitation (I Was never scared of Coasters) was the "Steel Phantom" Hyper-Looping Terrain Coaster at Kennywood in 1992. I loved that ride which is now replaced with the new and smooth Phantom's Revenge, My second fav. coaster. My first Fav. Coaster is Mantis, in which was the 15th coaster that I have ridden.

I was a chicken intill I was 15. I went to Geauga Lake with a friend of mine, and he took his sister, who was also 15. I wanted to get to know here alittle better, ;) . First coaster we hit, Double Loop and me never been on a looping coaster before(Only coaster I rode before this date was Raging Wolf Bobs once when I was younger). I Braved it out and rode it, so I wouldn't look like a big baby. Ever since then I can't get enough of coasters. :)
