coasterbill Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 1900's - Leap the Dips - Lakemont 1910's - Haven't been on one unless you could Giant Coaster at Paragon park which is now Wild one at SFA 1920's - Thunderhawk - Dorney 1930's - Yankee Cannonball - Canobie Lake Park 1940's - Thunderbolt - Six Flags New England 1960's - Blue Streak - CP 1970's - Montezooma's Revenge - Knotts 1980's - Phoenix - Knoebels - I wasn't sure if I should consider this to be built in the 1980's as it was relocated. 1990's - Kumba - BGT 2000's - Millennium Force - Cedar Point 2010's - Intimidator 305 - Kings Dominion Is it me or was the 1990s a bad decade for coasters? I think it's you. B&M built a ton of spectacular rides in the 90's, Kumba, Montu, Alpengeist, the Batman clones, Apollo's Chariot, Nemesis (which I haven't ridden), Dragon Khan (which I haven't ridden) Raptor, Top Gun and many others (I didn't forget about Medusa and the standups, they just weren't good). Oh... and Knoebels built Twister which is an amazing ride that's unfortunately completely overshadowed by the Phoenix. A few other great wood coasters opened like Comet at great Escape (relocated) and Raven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cullvion Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 (edited) 1950's - Matterhorn Bobsleds (Disneyland) 1960's - Blue Streak (Cedar Point) 1970's - Gemini (Cedar Point) 1980's - Scorpion (Busch Gardens Tampa Bay) 1990's - Rock 'n' Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith (Disney's Hollywood Studios) 2000's - Millenium Force (Cedar Point) 2010's - Cheetah Hunt (Busch Gardens) For me, everything from the 30's to the 40's were the worst time for roller coasters. No one was riding them due to the war and the recession, and more than half of america's theme parks during this time closed.

simon8899 Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 I think it's you. B&M built a ton of spectacular rides in the 90's This might be true but I am not a big B&M person - they are fun to do but nothing special IMO. For 2010s so far its Karacho (Gerstlauer Infinity) for me - but will decide after riding Smiler (Gerstlauer Infinity) and Helix (MACK Accelerator). This said I am also not a big wooden coaster person... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
