Midgetman82 Posted November 25, 2014 Posted November 25, 2014 Ironically, my favorite type of roller coasters (apart from launchers)... Batman: The Ride - SFMM Raptor - CP Nemesis - Alton Towers Honorable mention goes to Roller Skater at Kentucky Kingdom!
IronWolfman Posted November 25, 2014 Posted November 25, 2014 Probably from 1998 the top 3 are: 1.) Shivering Timbers 2.) Volcano: The Blast Coaster 3.) Riddler's Revenge Honorable mentions to Excalibur at Funtown Splashtown U.S.A., Rampage at Alabama Splash Adventure, and Great Bear at Hershey Park.
IntaminLove Posted November 26, 2014 Posted November 26, 2014 3. Ninja - Six Flags Magic Mountain (I rode this once in 2002 and I don't remember much of the experience.) 2. Wolverine Wildcat - Michigan's Adventure (Fun coaster.) 1. Shockwave - Six Flags Great America (I miss it ) Honorable mention: Jetline - Grona Lund (I really want to ride this someday.)
ImNotOneOfYou Posted February 28, 2015 Posted February 28, 2015 2001. I would have to say Talon, Nitro (SFGAdv), and Expedition GeForce I have ridden 2 of the 3

IdahoKat Posted February 28, 2015 Posted February 28, 2015 I cannot believe how young some of you all are!! Makes me feel old with some of the ones I'm reading about in this thread. I haven't noticed any other 1977's in here yet, but I have not read through all the pages yet either. The only thing I can find is: 1. Space Mountain at Disneyland (I rode the original track made by Arrow Dynamics during childhood, and then the layout done by Vekoma since then). I cannot seem to find anything else built in 1977... so going to 1976 when I was first conceived and in the womb.. yeah, this is a bit of a stretch 2. Revolution at Six Flags Magic Mountain (Rode that one many countless times over the years. A fun classic!) 3. Corkscrew at Cedar Point - I have never been to Cedar Point, so don't know if that one is even still there, but that would be three.
IdahoKat Posted February 28, 2015 Posted February 28, 2015 Well my birth year was the year of the Schwarzkopf Shuttle Loops (1977): 1: White Lightnin' @ Carowinds 2: King Kobra @ Kings Dominion 2: Greased Lightnin' @ California's Great America (then Marriott's Great America) Wow! I didn't find any of these on searching, but it looks like my Space Mountain, White Lightnin' and King Kobra would be it. Year of the loops.... maybe this is the reason I prefer coasters with loads of inversions
sirspud Posted February 28, 2015 Posted February 28, 2015 1985. A pretty sad era for coasters with longevity, sad to say, but I'll list three notables, only one of which I've ridden. 1. Phoenix- Knoebel's 2. Mindbender (Galaxyland) 3. Monstre - La Ronde
simaticable Posted February 28, 2015 Posted February 28, 2015 I was born in 1996. We have: 1. Montu - BGT 2. Mantis/Rougarou - CP 3. Flight of Fear - KD/KI I've only been on the first two and obviously Rougarou as Mantis.
Patrick B8men Posted February 28, 2015 Posted February 28, 2015 I was born in 1996. We have: 1. Montu - BGT 2. Mantis/Rougarou - CP 3. Flight of Fear - KD/KI I've only been on the first two and obviously Rougarou as Mantis. Dang I remember going to KI the year Flight of Fear opened. It was called The outer Limits Flight of fear back then. The Queue line was backed up all the way out down coney mall. I remember waiting in line to ride it and some guy came by with a measuring stick and said I was too short to ride. I was always a short kid, it sucked.
Heth Posted February 28, 2015 Posted February 28, 2015 I've only ridden one rollercoaster from the year I was born, so it therefore has to be my number one by default: Vampire - Chessington World of Adventures I guess the other two will have to be picked based on me simply having heard of them! Texas Giant - SFOT Thunder Run - Kentucky Kingdom ...they could be awful to ride, but frankly I wouldn't know personally (especially since the former is now the New Texas Giant).
tarheel1231 Posted February 28, 2015 Posted February 28, 2015 Millennium Force (only coaster on this list that I've been on) Goliath SFMM Steel Dragon 2000
thrillgeek Posted February 28, 2015 Posted February 28, 2015 Haven't been on any that opened in my birth year. That kind of surprises me. Top 3 would probably be..... 1. Magnum XL-200 2. Goudurix 3. Timberwolf

cfc Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 Well, after checking my birth year of 1960 again, these appear to be the "top three" : Skyliner (double out-and-back woodie at Roseland Park in New York) Big Dipper (a side-friction woodie at Ocean Beach Amusement Park in Wales) Golden Nugget (steel, sit-down coaster, Dinosaur Beach, New Jersey) The first two are gone, but the last one was reborn as Black Diamond at Knoebels.

GCI Wooden Posted March 14, 2015 Posted March 14, 2015 Wildfire - Kolmarden. Does this mean that you haven't been born yet?
exzantia Posted March 14, 2015 Posted March 14, 2015 1985 Of the whole 4 I've been on it's sure hard to pick the "top" 3, maybe just the 3 least terrible Here goes: 1. Magic Mountain - Gardaland 2. Schweizer Bobbahn - Europa Park 3. Monstre - La Ronde then: 4. Disaster Transport - Cedar Point
Hugecoltsfan Posted March 14, 2015 Posted March 14, 2015 1996: 1. Flight of Fear - Kings Dominion 2. Mantis - Cedar Point 3. Wildcat - Hersheypark
Tanks4me05 Posted March 15, 2015 Posted March 15, 2015 Wildfire - Kolmarden. Does this mean that you haven't been born yet? I'm good friends with Marty McFly and Doc Brown, is all.
G$ Kurt Posted March 15, 2015 Posted March 15, 2015 1989: 1. Magnum XL 200 2. Excalibur 3. Timberwolf Unintentionally all cedar fair rides
