Update: rode racer with my sister. She liked it but she's going to wait a bit for Bat. In line for beast myself. 15min wait.

Having just went through this with my 8YO this season, I'll tell you how our experience has been.

The Racer - She absolutely hated it and wouldn't ride it for numerous trips afterwards. It was too rough for her as a beginner (heck, it's too rough for me now most days.

BLSC is the coaster that made her fall in love and willing to ride the others, including Banshee and Diamondback.

She also loved AE the first time she rode it.

I would recommend BLSC (if she can get past the launch experience).

Woodstock Express and Flying Ace Ariel Chase are also good options. I explained to my girls that the big coasters are just like those, only a little taller and a little longer and faster.

Put them on The Racer if you want them to feel like their train is going to fall through the wood

...which, ironically, IS what happened in 2006 with Son of Beast, 89.
