Anything built in Great Adventure after the year 2000. Possibly adding Verbolten and Apocalypse (East) to the list, money's tight at the moment so I don't really know.

EDIT Woops forgot RRR, even in my coaster count .-.

1999 - Black Beard's Lost Treasure Train @ Six Flags Great Adventure

Hmm, it may well be more than this, and I'm only focussing on coasters, but off the top of my head:

2002: Colossus (Thorpe Park)
[2002: Air (Alton Towers)]*
2003: Nemesis Inferno (Thorpe Park)
2004: Revenge of the Mummy (Universal Studios Florida)
2004: Cheetah Chase (Busch Gardens Tampa) [apparently now renamed Sand Serpent]
2006: Black Mamba (Phantasialand)
2006: Stealth (Thorpe Park) [at least, I'm 90% sure I rode it in its opening season!]
2009: Saw - The Ride (Thorpe Park)
2009: Terminator Salvation (Six Flags Magic Mountain) [now Apocalypse the Ride]
2010: Thirteen (Alton Towers)
2012: Arctic Blast (Ocean Park)
2012: Big Grizzly Mountain Runaway Mine Cars (Hong Kong Disneyland)

*Now, I may have ridden Air at AT in its opening season, but I can't quite remember! I definitely went there in the ride's opening season, but the ride broke down and we never got to ride it. They gave us free tickets to return, but I can no longer remember whether the return visit was the same or the following year!

I went to Efteling in what should have been the opening season of De Vliegende Hollander, but alas it hadn't yet opened. Still not been on that ride.
 
2010
Thirteen, Alton Towers

2011
Dizz, Bobejaanland

I haven't been to many because I haven't been able to travel until recently.

Suppose I can add Skyrush @ Hersheypark to this list. And Stinger @ Dorney if relocated coasters count.

Verbolten @ BGW is sure to follow later this summer.

And there it is, just picked up that cred today.

1999 - Apollo's Chariot
2007- Griffon, Mystery Mine, Maverick
2008 - Dominator, Shake Rattle n Rollercoaster, Led Zeppelin: The Ride, Slippery When Wet, Eagles: Life In The Fast Lane,
2010 - Intimidator, Intimidator 305
2012- Skyrush, Stinger, Verbolten
 
There is marine land, but if you lived here and saw their commercials, you'd understand why I refuse to give them a penny.
 
I got a friend in Canadaland. 35 canadian dollars for a coaster is an excellent bargain...
