For a lot of places, I really have no idea. It’s hard enough to remember which park would’ve been first if it was part of a trip - especially as part of a Live when I’m paying even less attention to the organization of things - let alone which coaster in that park. I’ll give it a go though. A question mark after the coaster or park means it’s pretty much just a guess as to whether that was actually the first coaster or park in that country.
