Your Coaster Years

[Sandman]

Perhaps a tedious task for most, but this one is for my fellow procrastinators.

Name a cred that opened in each year of your life (that you've ridden).

E.g, here's my list:

1991 - The Ultimate
1992 - Calamity Mine
1993 - Batman The Ride
1994 - Nemesis
1995 - Dragon Khan
1996 - Colorado Adventure
1997 - Mine Train Ulven
1998 - Oblivion
1999 - Matterhorn Blitz
2000 - Katun
2001 - Expedition GeForce
2002 - Goliath
2003 - Balder
2004 - Daemonen
2005 - Velocity
2006 - Black Mamba
2007 - Troy
2008 - Mammut
2009 - Anubis: The Ride
2010 - Joris en de Draak
2011 - Van Helsing’s Factory
2012 - Shambhala
2013 - Karacho
2014 - Helix
2015 - Baron 1898
2016 - Taron
2017 - Pegase Express
2018 - Icon
2019 - Untamed
2020 - N/A
2021 - Ride to Happiness
2022 - N/A

So I am still yet to ride a 2020 and 2022 coaster.

Hopefully that'll be sorted soon though.

 

[Rob Coasters]

Don't mind me just stealing all the UK coasters.

2001 - Trace du Hourra
2002 - Odyssey
2003 - Nemesis Inferno
2004 - Dragons Fury
2005 - Rita
2006 - Stealth
2007 - Infusion
2008 - Troublesome Trucks
2009 - Saw
2010 - Th13teen
2011 - Stellas Revenge
2012 - The Swarm
2013 - The Smiler
2014 - Marble Madness
2015 - Whirlwind
2016 - Flight of the Pterosaur

2019 and 2022 are travelling coasters but those have been their debut years.

Perhaps a tedious task for most, but this one is for my fellow procrastinators.

Nice, another thing to instead of all of the Uni work I'm falling behind right now.

2004 - Revenge of the Hollywood's Mummy
2005 - Superman Escape
2006 - Black Mamba
2007 - Troy
2008 - Muntanya Russa
2009 - iSpeed
2010 - Joris en de Draak
2011 - Hair Raiser
2012 - Shambhala
2013 - Karacho
2014 - Sky Scream
2015 - Oblivion - The Black Bile
2016 - Taron
2017 - Gold Rush
2018 - Fenix
2019 - Untamed
2020 - F.L.Y.
2021 - Ride to Happiness
2022 - nothing yet (though I believe that fairground coaster I did last week might be new)

 

[Matt N]

I can sense this might be harder for me than you might expect given my relative lack of years to pick from…

• 2003 (my birth year): Nemesis Inferno
• 2004: Spinball Whizzer
• 2005: Rita
• 2006: Stealth
• 2007: Infusion (does this count? If not, I lack a 2007 cred…)
• 2008: Troublesome Trucks Runaway Coaster
• 2009: Saw The Ride
• 2010: Thirteen
• 2011: Cheetah Hunt
• 2012: The Swarm
• 2013: The Smiler
• 2014: Harry Potter and the Escape from Gringotts
• 2015: Octonauts Rollercoaster Adventure
• 2016: Mako
• 2017: Mine Blower
• 2018: Wicker Man
• 2019: N/A
• 2020: N/A
• 2021: Storm Chaser (Paultons)

Not as hard as expected, actually! Although I did have to scrape the bottom of the barrel for some years, hence some of my choices…

Fun fact - I've got something from every year all the way back as far as 1971.
There's only one, known, 1970 coaster left operating, which makes it a little difficult to push the streak any further.

[Rock_N_RollBob]

I'd be here all night, so Reader's Digest Condensed version:
Born in 67, so
Cedar Creek Mine Ride 69?
Gold Rusher 70?
A whole bunch in between including Soap Box Derby Racers (only 2 lanes, though)
An whatever I rode before the world wasn't facing a new crisis every five minutes. Think Twisted Timbers was one of my last new ones. Spending most of September mopping up new Orlando and going back to LA for the same.

I have one for every year I've been alive (except 2022, though that should soon change). Woo. I did a quick count of how many I've ridden from each year that opened, and also included the first coaster from each particular year...

Just goes to show the mountain of crap from the 80s
Quite difficult when you try to keep it to one ride per park too, could have had Magnum in 89 otherwise.

 

[Heth]

1990 - Vampire (Chessington)
1991 - None
1992 - Big Thunder Mountain (Disneyland Paris)
1993 - Indiana Jones et le Temple du Peril
1994 - Nemesis
1995 - Space Mountain (Disneyland Paris)
1996 - Colorado Adventure
1997 - Euro Mir
1998 - Vogel Rok
1999 - The Incredible Hulk
2000 - Kraken (SWO)
2001 - Colossos (Heide Park)
2002 - Silver Star
2003 - Nemesis Inferno
2004 - Revenge of the Mummy (USO)
2005 - Rita
2006 - Expedition Everest
2007 - De Vliegende Hollander
2008 - Mammut (Gardaland)
2009 - Blue Fire
2010 - Joris en de Draak
2011 - Krake (Heide Park)
2012 - Wodan

2017 - None
2018 - Wicker Man
2019 - None
2020 - None
2021 - None
2022 - None

I hadn't realised until doing this that Wicker Man is the newest coaster I've ridden! How tragic.

 

[Peet]

Not quite answering the question but I have this table in my spreadsheet anyway so might as well paste it here:

1990 4
1991 1
1992 7
1993 3
1994 8
1995 6
1996 6
1997 10
1998 13
1999 15
2000 15
2001 12
2002 14
2003 14
2004 12
2005 8
2006 13
2007 15
2008 6
2009 12
2010 7
2011 10
2012 8
2013 5
2014 3
2015 11
2016 15
2017 12
2018 10
2019 4
2020 1
2021 4
2022 1

For the years where there's only one cred, it must be:
1991 = The Ultimate (RIP)
2020 = FLY
2022 = Farmyard Flyer

It's an odd distribution, with 1999, 2000, 2007 and 2016 being the most common, I suppose it very roughly reflects how the European theme park industry was faring at the time.
