150. Apollo's Chariot, BGE/BGW
 
hehehe, I forgot a park that I visited as a tyke. 100th actually was Gemini @ Cedar Point and my 125th was Kosmo's Kurves @ Knoebels. 25th is still one of the five quoted @ KD and I have no clue what #50 is.

So now it's something like this:
1: Kingdom Coaster / Sky Princess @ Dutch Wonderland (first wood)
25: one of five coasters @ Kings Dominion
50: ?
100: Gemini @ Cedar Point
125: Kosmo's Kurves

I believe Rock n' Rollercoaster was my 21st coaster, and subsequently my first looping coaster.
 
This is such a chore. I've recently had to go through my count and remove the Super Splash "coasters". I've no idea whether to count any of the Joyland "creds" and Thirteen and The Swarm (at the very least) have snook in and sent my ordering out. Plus I don't really care.

At the moment though, I can say that definitely, in my "no powered, no clones, no disputed credits" list, Spook Express was my 170th coaster :lol:
 
You should follow my rules furie. Add anything and everything regardless if it's actually finished. Physical contact is all it requires.
 
Only thing I don't count is a relocation.
So I say if you ride 30 boomerangs, 20 SLCs and every Batman the Ride whore that count up!
Course I like quality over quantity


#75: I305
75 is still a nice number and the first time I've started counting
 
After today, I'm now on 666.

Not that I'm in anyway superstitious or religious, but I kind of want to keep that number for a while.

666: Horská Dráha, Luna Park, Prague
 
1 - I think was Runaway Train at Chessington
50 - Dragon Khan - Port Aventura
100 - Montu - BGA
150 - Very close to that now but not sure what it'll be yet :D

There's a couple guys around about 2000 or so. Different counting criteria has those guys between 1900 and 2125-ish.

My current 1103 counts no butterflies, alpine, powered, water or crap like 'Snails'. With them, I'm at 1178

Good man!

Now do the honourable thing and ditch the clones too ;)
 
No can do. Blackout and F2 Fright Flight may both be 689m standard SLC's, but they are completely different rides on the pain scale.

Brain Contusions or Severe Head Trauma... hmm, I'll pass...
 
^You've been on both of those then? How did you think they compared to each other and/or other SLCs you've been on?

sadly no. The one SLC I've been on is Nor'Easter @ Morey's Piers, but I might add Mindbender @ SFA later this year. I've actually enjoyed Nor'Easter as of late, those 2nd gen Vekoma Trains are a lot better than the older ones Morey's used to have. Little bit of head rattling but no where near as bad as pre-2008.

Blackout was one of the most painful coasters I've ever been on, F2 was one of the smoothest. F2 is the one that really made me realize that Vekoma's problem isn't the designs, it's the massive variance in manufacturing results.
 
1 - V2: Vertical Velocity
10 - Superman: Ultimate Flight

Almost to 15, which will be the Viper.

I don't travel, at all, and the nearest theme park is SFGAm, so I only go there. :lol:
