The title almost entirely explains it. What years(in modernity) were the most substantial, and lest substantial for roller coaster additions?
For lest substantial, I think 2004 was the year. Not too many major coasters/breakthroughs came out. The 3 largest rides were Storm Runner, Silver Bullet, and Thunderhead. Not too many coasters that stand out at you.
For most substantial, I think it was 2000. A ton of new coasters that are still #1s after 15 years came out, like Millennium Force, Boulder Dash, Bizarro(SFNE), The Boss, Goliath(SFMM), Steel Dragon 2000, Son of Beast, Lightning Racer, The Legend, and many more. It was the year of the Giga, the inverting woodie, the CCI raid, and the transition from classic to modern B&M.
So, what do you think? What year(s) do you think impacted the industry the most, had the most diverse selection of new rides, and or just had the best coasters open, and what year(s) were kind of 'meh'?
