Man idk. This is tough.

I know I rode Demon Drop on its last day of operation at the Point. I didn't ride Wildcat or DT in their last years though.

After long deliberation with my memory, I don't think I've ever been on a roller coaster in its very last year.

I spy several relocations, but I am going to just go with defunct or SBNO coasters for now.

2012: Disaster Transport, Cedar Point

AND we went on the same day. June 15th 2012.

Wow really? I actually didn't go to the park that day. I remember hat was the day we traveled and arrived to the Hotel Breakers that night. We went the next two days.
 
I've no idea on the years - can only remember Camelot. Every year I went, I imagined it would be the final season! Eventually it was...

Also did Corkscrew, Thunderlooper, 4Man Bob, Black Hole, and that Mouse thing at Alton Towers.

Gutted I missed out on one last go on Blackpool's Gold Mine.
 
I've had 3:

Big Bad Wolf-Busch Gardens Williamsburg
Roller Soaker-Hersheypark
and this year...
Rolling Thunder-Six Flags Great Adventure
 
I think i probably rode Corcscrew at AT in its final season, but apart from that I don't think there is anything else. I think I have only been on about 5 or 6 coasters that are now closed.

Maybe Black Hole now I think about it.
