Since some people have called 2020, 2018 etc. The Best year for roller coasters, What Is Really The Best Coaster year for roller coasters being installed?
 
For the UK: 1994. Nemesis, The Big One and Shockwave. I don't think we'll ever see a year like it again, although 2018 with Wicker Man and ICON comes a close second.
 
2016 ? Taron, Wildfire, Lightning Rod now among the best coasters in the world. Mako and Flying Dinosaur are arguably among the best B&M out there. And Asia greeted HUGE innovations : Flash, the first Mack Hyper coaster, Soaring with Dragons, this very unique Intamin ride. Honorable mention for Coaster Through the Clouds and Flying Aces (what a year for Intamin !)
 
2000 was an outstanding year. I’ll never forget that. Bunch of Intamin hypers and a CCI boom. Great year, I did much traveling then and in 2001.

Spreadsheet time - based only on significant coasters I've done, average rating out of 20:

Nice upwards trend there, a reason to look forward to the future.

Top 5, showing 2016 is my true winner, but dragged down by a lot of lesser stuff:

2015 - 16.25 (3 Jungle Trailblazers, Kärnan)
2014 - 15.2 (Helix, Alpina Blitz, Parrot Coaster)
2018 - 15.17 (Icon, Wood Express, Valkyria)
2016 - 14.69 (Python in Bamboo Forest, Taron, Flying Aces, Wildfire, Flying Dinosaur, Flash, Soaring with Dragon, Coaster through the Clouds, Lost Gravity) :eek:
2017 - 14 (DC Rivals, Arashi, Jungle Dragon)
