What's new

Rides you rode in the opening season?

Not many to be fair...:
- G-Force (Drayton Manor)
- Furius Baco (PortAventura)
- SAW: The Ride (Thorpe Park)
- Th13teen (Alton Towers)

I'm sure I've done a few flats and smaller coasters in their openings, can't pick them off right now. :lol:

Mad Mouse, Valleyfair

2000
Boss, Six Flags St. Louis

2001
Titan, Six Flags Over Texas

2003
Steel Venom, Valleyfair

2004

2006

Maverick, Cedar Point
Renegade, Valleyfair

2008
Evel Knievel (American Thunder), Six Flags St. Louis
Avatar Airbender, Nick Universe
Spongebob Squarepants Rock Bottom Plunge, Nick Universe
Dark Knight, Six Flags Great America

2009
Prowler, Worlds of Fun

2010
Intimidator 305, Kings Dominion
Intimidator, Carowinds (for the record, I choose Carowinds)
 
Yeah... I guess it's better than theming it after a real person, which is a trend I never understood, but they definitely could have done better than American Thunder.
 
Well I actually liked the name EK.. mostly because the real guy had absolutely no impact on my life. Plus it was unique, not generic, and something easily recognizable. This? Shame.
 
^Same for me, but coasters are enough for me to list. I think I'd need an entire page to list all the flat rides as well.
 
oh i thought it was opening day, well in opening SEASON's case

the "new" Bizzarro
Kingda Ka
Expedition Everest
Boulder Dash opening month i think (one of my first rollercoasters)
Goliath - La Ronde
Mr. Six's Pandemonium
 
I just got my first rides on Cheetah Hunt at Busch Gardens. This is a very well themed and very fun ride. Busch Gardens has another winner on their hands and this was my first ride on an Intamin coaster. I wonder if the wind catcher tower will be built on other park's coasters or if this will remain unique to Busch Gardens? I would love to see more Intamin coasters in Florida especially a hyper or 300+ ft. coaster.
