Opening years bingo

For a bit of fun, I was looking through my count and realised that I've been on at least one coaster that's opened in every year since 1977 to 2024 (inclusive) except for 1981, 1986, 2020 and 2022. I should get the latter two sorted soon, but then there's a big gap down to my next oldest 1960, and unsurprisingly after that it's a bit sparse, but I've got 4 years of the 30s ticked off and 1923 is the farthest back I've got.

Wondering what everyone else has
 
Ooh, this sounds interesting!
The oldest I've done is 1920.
In terms of the last 40 years I'm missing
86
91
93
95
01
17
19
 
Looking through my count, I now seem to have coasters from every opening year post-2000 aside from 2020 (I’m also missing 2001 in terms of permanent coasters, but I have ridden Euro Coaster at Winter Wonderland, which apparently opened in 2001).

A cursory look at my Captain Coaster list suggests that from 1980 onwards, I’m missing a coaster from:
  • 2020
  • 1991
  • 1982
  • 1981
My oldest ridden coaster is 1923, but the vast majority of my count opened after 1980.

Having a look on RCDB I've ridden a coaster that opened every year from 1976 to 2024. Annoyingly there's a few 1975 coasters that I might ride next year.
 
Oldest I've done is 1914. Going back 50 years I have every year apart from 78, 81 and 84. And 22 barely made the cut as I rode a temporary coaster at Jardin in Paris. I guess to tick off those missing 3 I'd like to ride Loch Ness Monster at BGW as that's 78, a trip to Canada's Wonderland for the 81 coasters, and 84 doesn't have much choice, but I suppose Bellewaerde's Boomerang would cut the mustard.

As it turns out, I actually got this wrong earlier... having looked through my spreadsheet, I actually have one 1981 and one 1982 listed if we're going off of the opening year in the ride's original location/date of manufacture. So as it turns out, I'm actually only missing 1991 and 2020...
