Rides you rode in the opening season?

2023:
Matugani - Lost Island
Zambezi Zinger - Worlds of Fun
Wild Mouse - Cedar Point
ArieForce One - Fun Spot Atlanta
----------
Rode within 12 months of opening but not in the opening year:
Pipeline - SeaWorld Orlando - January of 2024.
Artic Rescue - SeaWorld San Diego - April of 2024.

Had the opportunity to get on Big Bear Mountain at Dollywood but the park was slammed and I wasn't waiting 2+ hours for it. Also had the opportunity to get on Aquaman at SFOT... Do not like getting soaked so I passed.

2024:
Fire in the Hole - Silver Dollar City
Iron Menace - Dorney Park

That will likely be it for 2024.

Wave probably doesn't really count, but I did also get both Hyperia and Gold Rush this year.

Whilst I wouldn't count it as a new cred, I'd count it as opening season as standup to sit down is significant enough to warrant a new experience for me.
