Quite a few opened in 1984, most prominently Big Bad Wolf (which I'll never get to ride *sniff*)

I had a moment at Ocean Park, Hong Kong last year when I rode Dragon (an old Arrow)...but then it turned out to be VILE :/

Also King Cobra, KI and the original Space Invader at PBB

 

[furie]

There are only three coasters built when I was born still operating today. Trying to get photos of others isn't easy :lol:

These two have gone now, mysteriously, they look so well kept...

These three are still going strong!

How exciting.

1980

Big Thunder Mountain, Walt Disney World Magic Kingdom
Corkscrew, Alton Towers & Valleyfair!
Scorpion BG Tampa

Full list: http://www.rcdb.com/r.htm?ot=2&nm=na&op=1980&page=1

Urgh, according to RCDB, I was a child of the Arrow and Schwarzkopf era and they made overrated/ borderline vile coasters by today's standards.

Euro Mir
Great White
Stampida
Superman: The Escape/Escape from Krypton
Tonnere de Zeus
