What was your first coaster to feature a launch?

[CoastinBear]

Revolution at BPB first, Thunderlooper second.

 

[Chris]

Space Mountain.

 

[JoshC.]

Stealth at Thorpe. Yay

 

[DelPiero]

Rita - 2005

Mine was either space mountain or rock and roller coaster at Disneyland Paris. Can't remember which was first.

thunder looper at AT

Good question - I think it was Rock n Roller Coaster at WDW, shortly followed by Montezooma's Revenge.

 

[Ben]

Florida's Rock n Rollercoaster.

I did Revolution first but I ain't counting that as a launch unless you count the end of Th13teen. Like nah.

Yeah, Rock 'n Roller Coaster Hollywood Studios for me. #basic

Actually if we're counting Revolution, the argument might be made for KI's long lost Capirio suspended coaster Scooby's Ghoster Coaster. It's more of an elevator lift with a release, but it doesn't have a chain.

That's a little coaster I wish we still had sometimes.

 

[ATTACKHAMMER]

Rock N Rollercoaster - Disney's Hollywood Studios, 2006

 

[Jer]

Rock'n'Rollercoaster @ MGM Studios in 2004

That was also the coaster that finally broke my fear of coasters and opened the flood gates.

Kingda Ka Definitely quite the first launch

V2 - SFGAm.

I was pretty nervous about how the launch would feel (The man next to me even asked me if it was my first time) but I ended up loving it. I *temporarily* gave it my #1 spot. Then I rode Raging Bull again haha.

Well I've only ridden two so not much to choose from (unless you count Thirteen).

But yeah, Rita in 2008.

First proper launch (because the Revolution is a push and not a launch) was Bullet at Flamingoland in 2000.

Mine would be Revolution (but same as everyone above), then The Bullet (but that's also pushing it slightly), so I think the first 'proper' launch coaster may have been Rita?
