Apart from the 2000 season, nothing even comes close. It was definitely an outlier of a year. The rest of the time it's been one, maybe two. More often than not, it's none.

Boss
Batman: Knight Flight
Villain
Superman: Ultimate Escape
Millennium Force
Kraken

It wasn't by design either, that's just how things shook out. SFWoA's astute business decision to add three high profile rides in one year helped bump that number up. There were two more to be had between Big Chief and SFWoA, but the practice of riding a children coaster for any reason other than to accompany your child is just questionable.

Correct me if I'm wrong OP, but I think he meant new credits in general, not necessarily coasters that you rode the year they opened.

Yup. Thanks Josh Linn.

Update. If you rode a coaster at another park and then it was relocated, It doesn't count. (Example: riding Dominator @ GL and then in 2008, riding Dominator @ KD)

[WernerDonkeys are my way of life!]

Well 2011 stands out by far! TPR-trips help alot when it comes to credits: 181 new credits that year.

From some new coasters near home, to a kopenhagen/Liseberg trip. And don't forget a new credit in Parque Warner Madrid and my first visit to that other madrid park! But then in the middle of the summer the TPR North East & Road to Cedar Point trips!

And now in 2012 i'm on 6 new credits like: Dragonfly, Wodan, Holly's Wilde Autofahrt and a new park for me Tripsdrill More coming this summer with a holiday to Spain!

Wow, That's Over 1/2 my coasters.


PS, Moderators; If this topic has been brought up before, Sorry.

[VoxelmaticI annoy the Title Fairy every other week!]

Well, in 2011, I got 45 new credits... not too many, but about half of mine.

1996: 1 credit
199x: 1 credit
2000: 1 credit
2008: 6 credits
2009: 48 credits
2010: 95 credits
2011: 199 credits
2012: 9 credits and counting
Total: 360

The success of 2011 may not be repeated in a long time, if ever. Beating that number would require extensive international travel at this point. This year should most resemble 2009, as I'm expecting about 50-60 credits.

I'm glad I once made a similar post, or I would never remember this and would have to go look at my spreadsheet.

[Skycoastin SteveFive babies drowned in a fire]

I got 87 new credits in 2009, and 88 new credits in 2011.
