Your Coaster Years

Can't be bothered trailing back all those years, but the first one, a fact about my home park that I didn't know, and a cheat because it isn't a coaster, and I rode it within a couple of years of opening.
Step forward the magnificent Alice in Wonderland ride, at Blackpool, that opened an ancient sixty years ago this year, 1962.
That will be my birthday piss up ride on the Beach this year then!

1996 - Santa Monica West Coaster - Pacific Park (acquired this last year, rare Morgan family coaster)
1997 - Steel Force - Dorney Park (one of my first hypers, a lifelong home park, we had a cool Steel Force plastic cup in the house when I was little)
1998 - GhostRider - Knott's Berry Farm (my 100th credit, in my top 25)
1999 - Invertigo - Kings island (the year I started being afraid of coasters, I was surprised Invertigo didn't make me nauseous)
2000 - Superman The Ride - Six Flags New England (my favorite hyper and my favorite ride from 2000)
2001 - Nitro - Six Flags Great Adventure (one of 2 coasters that helped me over my fear of heights)

2003 - Kiddy Hawk - Carowinds (my lowest ranked coaster)
2004 - Storm Runner - Hersheypark (the other one of 2 coasters that helped me over my fear of heights)
2005 - Backlot Stunt Coaster - Canada's Wonderland (my 200th coaster)
2006 - Voyage - Holiday World (no additional words needed)
2007 - Maverick - Cedar Point (probably my first modern LSM coaster, served as my #1 coaster for about an hour before riding SteVe)
2008 - Ravine Flyer II - Waldameer (my first Gravity Group woodie, still in my top 10 but in danger of falling out of it)
2009 - Kosmo's Kurves - Knoebels (best kiddie coaster 5ever, my profile pic on Twitter)
2010 - Intimidator 305 - Kings Dominion (always a contender for my #1)
2011 - Dare Devil Dive - Six Flags Over Georgia (was this a particularly bad year for coasters?)
2012 - Verbolten - Busch Gardens Williamsburg (the coaster that replaced my first credit)
2013 - White Lightning - Fun Spot America Orlando (was this also a bad year for coasters?? This one is pretty good though)
2014 - Lightning Run - Kentucky Kingdom (will there be a lightning theme?)
2015 - Fury 325 - Carowinds (my highest ranked coaster, located at the same park as my lowest ranked coaster, thanks Carowinds)
2016 - Whirlwind - Playland's Castaway Cove (I paid like $10 to ride an SBF Visa ama)
2017 - Mine Blower - Fun Spot America Kissimmee (feels like getting into a car crash but for fun)
2018 - Oscar's Wacky Taxi - Sesame Place PA (best themed ride in Pennsylvania)
2019 - TMNT Shellraiser - Nickelodeon Universe NJ (maybe the highest I've ever been riding a coaster, it was disappointingly rough)
2020 - Sandy's Blasting Bronco - Nickelodeon Universe NJ (that's right, I got all 5 credits here and it only took 3 trips. This ride is incredible)
2021 - Jersey Devil Coaster - Six Flags Great Adventure (my only new for 2021 credit, my favorite operating coaster in the park with Nitro running rough nowadays)
2022 - Cyclone - Indiana Beach (a new ride that feels like an old ride, yaaay)
