One that I can think of right off the top of my head is one that I just rode today, Tony Hawk's Big Spin at Six Flags Fiesta Texas. I'll hopefully be able to post a photo TR of my San Antonio trip next week (went to Sea World - but did not ride Journey to Atlantis, Schlitterbahn, and 2 days of SFFT). I think I also rode a few new rides at Disney World in the early to mid 1990s in their first season; I wasn't keeping track.

 

At Kings Dominion...

- when their water park first opened I did Splash Island (the kids area)

- Pipeline Peak / Big Wave Bay

- 7th Portal in the Action F/X Theater

- Scooby Doo and the Haunted Mansion

- hoping to get the new WaterWorks rides in this year, if I get to go. Now that I'm working full time, days off during the week don't come so often.

It depends what you consider my home park- moving away from the fact that I lived all over the place- I am from the Buffalo, NY area and Fantasy Island is technically the closest park to me so I can say that I rode the DL Predator in its first year and the same with Dragon Mountain- both about 30 minutes from me at the time.

 

A few years back I was dating a guy in Toronto and I was up there almost every weekend and we had PCW Season passes and I rode Tomb Raider its 1st year.

 

I also rode Woostock Express in its first year as well as the WDW ToT- I rode it during CM previews at that! Also Italian Hand Job Stunt Track- rode that in its first year at KI- on Pride Night (they actually called something a bit more risque but I tired to keep it PG-13). That's all I can think of off the top of my prematurely balding head.

I actually waited in line 4 hours back in 2003 on Zonga's opening day and was on the first train of the general public to ride the ride. Man was that a big mistake, and I only rode the coaster one more time after that before it closed. Man am I glad that coaster is gone, it was like a scar to Six Flags Discovery Kingdom.

 

I've probably been on more, like Tatsu, but I'd have to think about it a little more.

It's kinda hard to remember, since my home parks went from being SFMM/Knott's/DL/DCA/USH to SFNE in 2002. However, off the top of my head I can come up with:

 

Hydra at Dorney (rode it opening weekend)

Shamu Express at SWO (rode it opening day)

Silver Bullet at Knott's

Mummy at USH

Storm Runner at Hershey

El Toro at SFGAdv

Sheikra at BGT

Scream at SFMM

Tatsu at SFMM

Italian Job at PKD/KD

Space Mountain 2005 at Disneyland (new track, new themeing, same layout, so this is a sorta)

 

I also have a trip to BGW/BGE planned for next month to ride Griffon
