It's a grey area - I don't allow points for things like the Dungeons or Cadbury World, but I do allow them for all sorts of funfair things. I'm not very consistent really...@Hixee If I rode some of the vintage fairground rides there, would Folly Farm in Pembrokeshire be eligible for LoG points?
It’s not on RCDB, but it does have rides (of which I rode 3), and it’s probably no less of a theme park than many of the smaller 1-cred places on RCDB.
Solo = 1 person doing something alone. That's literally the meaning of the word.I bet that this was asked often enough, but I want to be sure: If I am part of a group of 3, and just the 3 of us sit in a coaster - does this count as a Solo-ride?
Does this also go fo Wild Mice, were our group of 3 would keep others from entering the car?
Urrrrgggggggg... the lines blur ever more. Yes the visit can count, but they should be recorded under "other attractions". Can't be arsed working out a system to differentiate them at the moment.What's the consensus on coaster ziplines? There's a couple of new ones opening in Slovenia this year that I might check out. One of them is a part of a resort that also has an alpine coaster, so I assume that can be added under 'other attractions' when I do visit. The other one is more of a standalone thing. Can a visit to a place like that count or not?
Yeah, this seemed like an easy one.Solo = 1 person doing something alone. That's literally the meaning of the word.

You get one "new for 2024" point per new ride in the park - up to a maximum of five rides in the park (this is to prevent one visit to a 'new parks/lands' dominating really heavily). Any number of laps on a new ride only gives you one "new for 2024" point. I have generally allowed people to claim the "new for 2024" points again on separate visits as I couldn't ever be arsed to track it.
E.g.
- I'd allow Nemesis to be claimed for ONE "new for 2024" point per visit - regardless of number of laps.
- You'd get a maximum of FIVE "new for 202X" points when Epic Universe opens.
Does that make sense?
It wasn't a joke Hixee... I just haven't paid as much attention to this thread as I should have...@Nicky Borrill - in case this comment in bold below wasn't a joke - just a reminder of the above question.
Plus - for what it's worth - you only need to name the bonus coaster. Number of laps is irrelevant.
@Matt N - just seen your post in the June topic too. Tagging here for info.
Also is only eligible for coasters - same with the front/back/solo points. Just occurred to me some might claim for flats too."New-to-me" is only available once per ride, as it's only new-to-you once.![]()
OK, had assumed all special points were coasters only... So looks like I've gained a couple of extra points on 'new to me's' but also lost a couple on new flats / dark rides... Swings and roundabouts and all that...Also is only eligible for coasters - same with the front/back/solo points. Just occurred to me some might claim for flats too.
New for 2024 is fine for all attractions though.
I suspect something I'll change for 2025, to be honest. It's CoasterForce, not AnyOldFlatrideForce, after all.OK, had assumed all special points were coasters only...

Know now moving forward.![]()
Where can I find a list of what the bonus coasters are?

I think I followed those rules correctly in my recent submission for Alton Towers, but on that note @Hixee; can you claim a New for 2024 point for each time you visit a park and ride said new ride during that visit in 2024, or is it only the first visit you ride it during that’s eligible for this?
For example, was I OK to claim a New for 2024 point for Nemesis Reborn in both of my March visits and my July visit where I rode it, or was I only eligible to claim a New for 2024 point in my first March visit when I first rode it?
Right there in black and white.
