Huh, I have ridden none of the coasters that opened up in the UK 1995...

Ian's done the work for me:

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.

The ones I've actually ridden from that year:

Big Thunder Mountain - Magic Kingdom
Carolina Cyclone - Carowinds
Corkscrew - Alton Towers
Jet Star - Särkänniemi
Jet Stream - Ocean Beach
Nessie Superrollercoaster - Hansa Park
Shuttle Loop - Nagashima Spaland
Tokaydo Express - Blackpool

^Wow we have someone even younger

To me 1999, 2000, 2003, and 2006 were big years. And it sounds like 2012 will be as well

 

[D1993]

WOW. I just visited rcdb and apart from Kumba (which is freaking awesome), 1993 was a pretty bloody awful year for roller coasters!

 

[SpartanG]

1984 - Big Bad Wolf @ Busch Gardens Williamsburg, one of my personal favs that I actually got to ride. I'm still livin', but unfortunately, BBW is gone.

 

[ashtonrick]

Well, the only coaster that opened in the UK when I was born was...

Wildcat - Pleasureland

Hmmm a pinfari for me - doh!
