Rollercoaster for first timers

[petals3485]

What Rollercoaster or ride would you recommend in Disney for someone that has never gone on a rollercoaster before?

[Tmntrans]

Big Thunder railroad then everest then Rockin rollercoaster

The “Disney’s Rock N Roller” is the best roller coaster ride. When I first time ride I feel was safe and so cool no bumps and grind as compare to other roller coaster. Thus, I suggest you to try it and I am sure you will love it.

Big Thunder Mountain is pretty tame, and I would do space mountain before rockin roller coaster. Both are in the dark but SM is WAY more tame (way slower, no loops, etc). Even if rockin is smooth and feels safe, if you've never been on a ride before, going on a ride that SHOOTs out that like AND has a loop would be pretty scary!

Are you talking about an adult, I would say Big Thunder Mountain, it doesn't have any big dips. Great scenery. Love the ride! If your talking about a child then I would say Goofy's Barnstormer, if it's still there, it may be gone by now.

BTMR and SM can be a bit jerky, side-to-side. Recommend ride up front or in the middle for all the coasters to avoid the "whip" effect at the tail end of the coaster.

I would definetely hit Big Thunder Mountain first, it is fairly slow and has no big dips or drops( Barnstormer first if it is a child under 6). after that Splash Mt. and Space Mt. IF u can handle those then hit up Everest and Rock n Rollercoaster

I wouldn't say Rock n' Roller Coaster. For a first timer, it may be a jarring experience. The speeds and going upside down are pretty intense. I say this as a late bloomer to certain roller coasters due to young fears. Big Thunder was easy for me as a kid and Splash Mountain wasn't far behind. I had an irrational fear of Space Mountain that i finally conquered in my 20s...in retrospect i think i could've done it earlier.

I would ride Space Mtn first of all coasters at WDW.Gawsh,Space Mtn is a classic,and all classics should be done first,respectfully.Then venture to the newer ones say from 2000 up.

My brother's first rollercoaster was Big Thunder Mountain when he was about 4 years old. It was also mine when i was about 3 years old. If you're looking for a real coaster,though, I would highly recommend "Rock n'Roller Coaster" as a first....it was my first upside-down coaster, and it was great because it covered all the bases...it was in the dark, it was a launching coaster, and it did loops and corkscrews....so i did it all in one shot. Definitely a good decision, because after that, i was pretty muhc fearless about rides

My mom and dad are scaredy cats, but they both love Rock'n' Roller Coaster...

I would do all the mountains first!! Then Primevil Whirl. Then try Everest if you feel comfortable! Then I would do Rockin Rollercoaster last, just because of how intense it is.

I also recommend BTMR or Goofy's Barnstormer.
Disney is a great place to start riding coasters as they relatively mild compared to most amusement park coasters, and are all lot's of fun!

Best Regards,

the first "real" coaster i went on was Rockin'... and now i will go on anything... Rockin' is a good place to start... no climb... no chance to really rethink it... and at the end you feel like it was awesome...
