Rita

Saw
Swarm
Lex Luthor

The Smiler

The only intentional ones were Stealth and Smiler, the others were just general trips
 
I think my Hershey trip was 2008, so probably Fahrenheit.

Other than that, I've been really unlucky with getting rides in their first season. I was in Cedar Point in 2011, but didn't bother riding Windseeker. I was a year late for Cheetah Hunt and a year early for Falcon's Fury at BGT.

That's it... :|
