Well, I don't consider Jr. Gemini an impressive first coaster, but it was my first.
My firts "real" coaster I've ridden was Big Dipper at Geauga Lake.

My first steel coaster was Magnum XL-200 and i think my first looping was Raptor but it might have been corkscrew.

The first I consciously remember was Python at BGT. I was practically freaking out on the loading platform, as I had probably only been on a kiddie coaster until that point - and couldn't remember having even ridden any kiddie coaster at all, at that. However, I came off just totally loving roller coasters...

My first dueling/racing coaster was Gwazi, however it wasn't dueling when I rode it so I dont think it counts. Other than that, my first dueling/racing coaster I've been on that was actually dueling/racing was Lightning Racer

I'd say that my first "real" coaster was the Sky Princess at Dutch Wonderland. It is in fact CCI's first coaster, and the little woodie is a nice transition from kiddie to real rides. Dutch Wonderland is also one of the top-rated children's parks.
My first coaster with inversions was Dragon Mountain at Marineland near Niagra Falls.

^Yeah, technically it is a coaster as listed on RCDB, but by my own personal beliefs, I don't count it as my first coaster either.

Coasters are defined by many different things, I can assure you that size isn't one of them.
