What is your favorite coaster year?

[CycloneMan]

^I love your list. But The Coney Island Cyclone was not a Harry Traver Cyclone Triplet. The Cyclone Triplets were: Crystal Beech Cyclone, Palisades Park's Cyclone and Rever Park Cyclone.

I actually wrote 2000 to begin with, because of Stealth and Millennium Force, but then I thought; "No, everyones going to put 2000; I should go with the year my #1 coaster, Ghostrider opened." So I changed it at the last minute.

 

1927 is my third runner up. Several of these coasters are no longer operating, but were refered to as great rides.

 

Wildcat@Lake Compounce

Cyclone@Astroland(#1 of the Harry Traver "Cyclone Triplets")

Racer@Kennywood

Legend@Arnold's Park

Big Beast@Edgewater Park

Cyclone@Palisades Park(#3 of the Harry Traver "Cyclone Triplets")

Racing Whippet@Westview Park

Zip@Oaks Park

 

You're reaching for the sake of being interesting. 2000 is the correct answer.

^^Thank You and my mistake. I can't belive I was the first one to post 1927. 1924 w/ Giant Dipper, Pippin, and Euclid Beach and Riverside Park's Thriller recieves my "classic coaster honorable mension".

 

^No, seroiusly. Ghostrider is the best coaster I've ever ridden, and I really love Great Bear. It's 3rd for Inverts behind the Dragons.

 

 

Has anyone said 1999? I belive that year holds the record for most new roller coasters. Yay for Islands of Adventure!

Amen! The Intamins alone almost make it, but add the others and it was a GREAT year.

 

Plus the whole y2k thing added to the fun!

i think 2003(original) because nemesis inferno opened, i like that year because two years later at fright nights in thorpe, it was my first looping coaster(no joke)

[Chadley]

Definitely 2000....

 

Kraken

Boss

Millennium Force

Son of Beast (I actually liked it when it first came out)

Steel Venom

Villain

Dominator

 

and I'm sure there are a few more that I've been on that I'm forgetting.

 

I have to retract my original answer and agree Scaparri now. For whatever reason I didn't even think beyond MF in 2000. But from your short list here I rode all of those except Boss, and that made for a great year. Plus, it was my first trip to Holiday World and my first trip to WDW.

 

So sadly enough, 2007 will have to take a seat at #2 now.
