9Armgeddon4 Posted March 29, 2015 Posted March 29, 2015 1994 1. Raptor (CP) 2. Nemesis 3. BTR (SFMM) All B&M invert coasters Honorable mention: American Eagle Even thought AE didn't open in 94, it's anniversary is the same day as my B-Day.
CpBluestreakCp Posted March 29, 2015 Posted March 29, 2015 1996: Montu - BGT Flight of Fear - KI Mantis - CP
Buckeye_Ben Posted March 29, 2015 Posted March 29, 2015 Dateline: 1989 1. Magnum XL-200 (actually opened the day I was born) 2. Hercules at Dorney Park (also the day I was born) 3. Goudurix

WayCool64 Posted March 29, 2015 Posted March 29, 2015 1995 1. Jaguar - KBF (One of my favorites) 2. Space Mountain - DLP (Even though I never rode it yet, it looks to be a well-crafted successor to the original in the US. And I like the original version of the ride more than Mission: 2) 3. Dragon Khan - PortAventura (another ride that looks impressive yet never rode yet)
p-sychiatrist Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 19941. Raptor (CP) 2. Nemesis 3. BTR (SFMM) All B&M invert coasters These are my top 3 as well. I haven't been on Nemesis yet so I can't rank it but it looks better than Raptor to me (mostly from the theming)
eddie200330 Posted April 19, 2015 Posted April 19, 2015 I may only be 42, but going back through this thread I feel really old when I think of the rides I have already ridden when the majority of the posters were born....LOL
Nrthwnd Posted April 19, 2015 Posted April 19, 2015 Holy crap! I thought that the coaster at Hanayashiki Park in Tokyo was the only coaster I had, as well as the park itself opening in my birth year, 1953. And I had the good fortune to ride it a number of times, thanks to past TPR Japan tours. But I rechecked (Thankyou RCDB), and lo and behold...I got three!!! Flyer (Canadian National Exhibition, Toronto - now closed) Little Dipper (Kiddytown. Illinois - now closed) Roller Coaster (Hayanashiki, Tokyo - still running!) (There were actually only four, and the 4th coaster listed, was an "unkown" in... Guatemala!)
DodgeballMovie1488 Posted April 20, 2015 Posted April 20, 2015 Heres 3 of my favorite 2001 coasters V2 - SFGA Deja Vu - SFGA Silver Streak - Canadas Wonderland
ytterbiumanalyst Posted April 20, 2015 Posted April 20, 2015 Little Dipper (Kiddytown. Illinois - now closed) Not as closed as you might think. It was relocated to Little Amerricka in Wisconsin. I rode it last summer, and it was incredible. Not just the ride itself, which was fun enough--but the operations, the atmosphere, the whole package combined to make it the absolute most fun I've ever had on a roller coaster. So there you go. Two are still running.
JJLehto Posted April 20, 2015 Posted April 20, 2015 Not looking good for my year http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Roller_coasters_introduced_in_1988 Ninja at SFMM may have to be the one lol I'm not even gunna pick two others!
cwgator Posted April 20, 2015 Posted April 20, 2015 Not looking good for my year http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Roller_coasters_introduced_in_1988 Ninja at SFMM may have to be the one lol I'm not even gunna pick two others! You have more options if you use RCDB: RCDB Coasters Opened in 1988

grsupercity Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 Most notable and start of a revolution http://rcdb.com/5.htm
powpig Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 Ha! According to RCDB, only 3 new coasters were opened in 1963 and only 1 is still operating. I've never ridden any of the 3.
SoCal_Coaster Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 These are only ones I have ridden. 2001! 3. Wile E. Coyote's Grand Canyon Blaster (Six Flags over Texas) 2. California Screamin' (Disney's California Adventure) 1. Titan (Six Flags over Texas)
gromithere Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 Apparently 1971 was not a stellar year for coasters. Best I can find that is still operating is Gold Rusher at Magic Mountain.
Nrthwnd Posted April 22, 2015 Posted April 22, 2015 ^ Actually, if you go to this link... http://rcdb.com/r.htm?na=&nm=na&op=1971&pl=&ot=2 You may be very surprised at what pops up.
BuffaloWingRider Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 2001 Colossos - Heide Park Nitro - SFGAd Expedition GeForce - Holiday Park Ridden: V2 I guess Good Job Germany
DILinator Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 1978! Going with my Top 3, that I have also ridden... 1. Loch Ness Monster - Bush Gardens Williamsburg 2. Gemini - Cedar Point 3. Florida Hurricane - Boardwalk and Baseball
CoasterMateo Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 2001 1. Hypersonic XLC @Kings Dominion 2. Talon @Dorney Park 3. Cornball Express @Indiana Beach
n1ch0las Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 I really didn't expect 1988 to be the oldest third of this board: Shockwave @ SFGAm takes the win out of the coasters opened that year, which honestly was a pretty sad year for coasters that still operate today! I suppose an honorable mention can go to Wolverine Wildcat, and I wouldn't even pick a third place out of that bunch.
RollerManic Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 1999 Bizarro / Medusa @ SFGADv Joker's Jinx @ SFA Powderkeg @ SDC Honorable mentions to Dragon Challenge and Afterburner / Top Gun
Coaster19 Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 1991 1) Phantom's Revenge (or better known as Steel Phantom) - Kennywood 2) The Ultimate - Lightwater Valley (it's so long!) 3) Bullet - Flamingo Land After looking at all 50, I would say that these were the top three from that year, in my own thoughts.
