A correction
Aug. 25th, 2010 10:12 pmMegan just jogged my memory: the very first roller coaster I ever rode on was not the Elitch Gardens Mister Twister. Earlier, I'm pretty sure I actually dared to ride on the Trail Blazer at Hersheypark, a 1974 "runaway mine train"-themed family coaster that is still operating. I remember it giving a respectable sensation of speed but not being that scary otherwise--probably a good one for kids.
