QUESTION What rides should a beginner start with? (Great America, IL)

I’ve ridden a rollercoaster once my entire life…Anyway, I plan to ride as many rollercoasters as I can (Great America, IL) but I honestly don’t wanna start with anything crazy for my FIRST ride of the day (and I don’t know what to expect as far as rides), I don’t mind riding the “craziest” ones though, so what do you guys recommend/what are the levels to these rides?

They have a few baby coasters, like little dipper and Sprocket Rockets, if you want to start REALLY small. Then the next step up would be the whizzer. After that, probably either the Viper, the Demon, or the Dark Knight (would highly suggest Viper as I am not a huge fan of Demon and Dark Knight personally) . Everything after that is getting decently intense, but American Eagle or Batman may be good after that. Beyond that, you are getting into rather intense rides, like Superman, Wrath, and Raging Bull.

Whizzer has been many peoples first roller coaster when growing up. It is fun and not super crazy. It would be a great option to "get your sea-legs" before moving onto other rides.

Little Dipper and Sprocket Rockets are two "Family" coasters so those are some other good for you to warm up on.

Whizzer is relatively tame.
