"Ever" is added to the sentence in order to add emphasis.
That was the first time did this.
That was the first time I've EVER done this! This enhances the meaning to show that you consider this an important event for yourself.
Also, about the first sentence, which is perfectly fine... I want to be certain that you understand why a person would say that. The sentences are: That was wonderful. I'm never doing that again.
Read this as "That was wonderful! And I'm NEVER doing that again!" As in, even though you are glad to completed this activity, it is not something you would care to experience again.
Note that I substituted wonderful for awesome. Wilmar's Rule Nbr 2: Strike "awesome", "amazing", and "incredible" from your vocabulary.
Remember Wilmar's Rule Nbr 1: Never in your life will you say you "have got" anything -- even in contraction form. This includes "haven't got".

One of the foremost French artists of the 19th century, Manet is often regarded as the father of modern painting. Rebelling against the academic tradition, he developed a realist style that was one of the founding forces of Impressionism. Although his talent is recognized today, Manet was often greeted with harsh criticism during his career, including for his paintings Le déjeuner sur l'herbe—The Luncheon on the Grass—and Olympia.

Shortly after marrying drifter Erasmus Shue, Heaster was found dead and was soon buried. Her mother, who suspected foul play, claimed to have had a vision in which her daughter's ghost stated that Shue had broken her neck, killing her.

The Swing Kids were a group of jazz and swing music enthusiasts in Germany in the 1930s. Composed mainly of high school students, the group sought a British and American way of life in opposition to the Nazi ideology that was emerging in their country. Defining themselves by their taste in swing music—which was considered a "degenerate" Western import by the Nazis—the Swing Kids stood in contrast to the youth groups allied with the Nazi movement.
