Most Obscure Coaster you've ridden

My most obscure is definitely the Green Dragon Coaster at that park in North Wales, world's only people-powered coaster!

How about you?

According to coaster-count (which works it out on how few people have counted it)
Chenille at Flamingo Park, Hastings
Rollercoaster at Cleethorpes Park
The creds at Rhyl Ocean Beach (I went with Furie and Rob Beal back in 2005)
I also enjoy the comparative obscureness of Silly Serpent at Luna Park in Melbourne

I'm a bit basic in the obscure-creds-in-faraway-places department, but I do get a few old-bastard points for riding things like Python at Drayton Manor (6 rare points on coaster-count) and some of the Ocean Beach creds at Rhyl back in the 80's.
Ahh the 80's - heady times they were. You kids missed out on some crazy stuff, I tell ya. ;)

I remember when I was 12 or something and I went to Argentina. I happened to hit a Dragon Wagon at a random shopping centre from Mendoza. I don't think it's even listed on RCDB.

Did you also get the Dragon coaster on the prom?

I did the Water Chute at Belle Vue. But it moved to Blackpool so lots of people have it.

Also did the Tokaydo Express and Cyclone at Blackpool. Oh, and the Big Apple.

Apart from "The Mouse", I have done every coaster at Alton, including the Big Apple. I probably did The Mouse too.

I think everyone has all of those in different locations now though.

I've watched Mmf on the Big Apple at Barmouth, that's a bit obscure, but I didn't ride it

Going off Coaster count, I have 2 5-point rare coasters:
  • Fforest Coaster, Zip World Fforest
  • Mini Caterpillar, James Danter (The less-than-big-apple thing at Winter Wonderland this year)
Also have the coaster at Landmark forest park in Scotland which used to have more rare points than it does now

Not sure how obscure these really are but:

Wallis Wriggling thingy at New Brighton
A go gator thing at New Brighton
Circus Clown at Blackpool (possibly the Big Apple as well but I'm unsure)
The Super Dragon at Drayton
A spinning mouse that was located in the little amusement park thing in the middle of Liverpool One for one summer
The Wildcat at Pleasureland but I reckon quite a few of you have got that
The creds at Twinlakes

According to coaster-count, the most obscure ride I've done was an oval coaster that popped up at a local fair a few years ago. Only one other member has that, so I get 10 points for it.
The most obscure rides I've done that are also listed on rcdb are the Alpine coaster at the Rogla ski resort and Dragon Coaster in Dinopark in Croatia.

Considering all of this, I guess I just live in a really obscure place when it comes to coasters...

based off the C-C thing, not counting portable credits....
This bad boy - https://rcdb.com/2443.htm - Orient Express at Pirate's Fun Park. I'm the *only* user with it. haha
This - https://rcdb.com/387.htm - Flitzer at Yorks, 4 riders on C-C
This one too - https://rcdb.com/467.htm - Dragon Wagon at Libertyland <3 with 5 riders on C-C
https://rcdb.com/2748.htm with 6 riders - Thriller at Sports Plus
https://rcdb.com/11377.htm and this with 9, Log Roll'r Coaster at Yellowstone Bear World
All five have been removed so those standings are not likely to change

My most obscure still operating coaster (non-portable) would be Roller Coaster at City Park in Pueblo, CO. When I rode it... only me and my friend Rob, who visited the park with me.. were the only 2 riders on C-C. Now its up to 16 riders - https://rcdb.com/10911.htm

The Legend
Mad Mouse as Quassy - https://rcdb.com/378.htm
Wildcat as Keansburg - https://rcdb.com/403.htm

Both coasters are no longer there and are kind of out of the way parks that not many people visit.

Another rare-ish cred I like it Son of Beast. I rode it in all variants, before and after the loop, and before and after the train change.

If we take rare to mean "ridden by fewest number of people" I'm the only person registered with CoasterCount to have ridden Dragon Coaster in Kathmandu.

Some proof, for what it's worth:

My rarest is Bush Beast at Wonderland Sydney which has been ridden by 14 people.

Surprised to see Chessingtons Clown Coaster nets you four rare points, doesn't feel like that long ago it closed!

Also surprised to see some Gullivers creds give you one point.

Mostly two portable coasters from Mississippi and Arkansas. 1-2 riders each on coaster count. If it needs to be permenant, then it would be Spin-O-Saurus in Fort Walton Beach, one of those SBF spinners.

Recoil at Wonderla Bangalore in India for me - 6 riders.
Just a boomerang, but it was great to see how awestruck the locals were by it - not many creds in that part of the world!
