I was thinking about this earlier...
Are any coasters that you hated at first that you've gotten a "taste" for or that you've warmed up for?
The first one that comes to my mind is Tennessee Tornado at Dollywood.
When I rode it in 2004, I hated it.
I rode it this past summer and rode it about 4 or 5 times. It's roughness seemed to be different than before and didn't throw me around as much. (maybe I grew into the restraints)
So do you have a coaster like this?

Spinning Dragons.
My first ride I waited 45 mins for and it didn't spin at all. All the other times I've ridden it I've waited less than 15 mins and it spun so fast I was pinned to my seat. What a fun ride.

I would've been happy it didn't spin!
I hated the first time me and Lindsey rode Arkansas Twister at Magic Springs, but it was so painful that by the fourth time it was fun getting beat up!

I would've been happy it didn't spin! Well it is extremely boring without spinning, which is why I hated it the first time (coupled with the long wait).

Mantis-I rode in the back my first time and it was just to painful. In the front it is fun now!

Chiller I rode it twice when it had the Zero-g roll and hated it with a passion, after riding it this season I can say I severely underrated the ride.

Hurricane: Category 5.
Hated it the first time. Learned how to ride it the second time. Thought it was decent the third time. I really miss it now...

I didn't like Storm Runner when I first rode it. But after another ride, it had found a spot in my top ten.

When I was a kid, I used to hate every coaster, because of all the peer pressure they ended up putting on me!...till I finally rode an upside-down coaster. That's pretty much how we judjed how scary a coaster was back in the day!

That's pretty much how we judjed how scary a coaster was back in the day! Same exact story with me! My first upside-down coaster started it all, I re-rode it numerous times, haha

Before the 2007 season,I was so scared of up-side down rides that I actually never rode them,but on that saturday back in early July in Adventure Island,everything changed.And now,I love looping coasters as much as regular ones!

My first time at Cedar Point (I went because of Millennium) I rode everything and was underimpressed with Magnum. Mainly it was all the hype from people and it is always in the top ten. Also waited over an hour for it in july. Since then saw no line one time and gave it another chance now I ride it 2-10 times every visit.

^ It seems like sometimes the "classics" take some time to grow on you before you appreciate them. I wasn't always a big fan of Zippin Pippin at Libertyland until the last few years that Libertyland was open. I could ride it over and over.

I don't absolutely love it, but I enjoy riding Mean Streak.
