Milestones in Your Counts

I definitely try to coordinate interesting coasters to milestone numbers. I wasn't keeping track for my first couple hundred though, so I don't know some of them.

I know these milestones:
400 - White Cyclone, Nagashima Spaland

500 - Dreamcatcher, Bobbejaanland
600 - Zaturn, Space World
700 - Spongebob Squarepants Rockbottom Plunge, Nickelodeon Universe
800 - Behemoth, Canada's Wonderland
 
1. Scooby Doo, Kings Dominion

50. Phoenix, Knoebels

100. Fairly Odd Coaster, Carowinds

150. Vapor Trail, Sesame Place

Can I borrow a couple hundred from your count?? :p
 
I didn't start counting until I was in the 190's.... So........

1 - unknown - 1986-1989
100 - unknown - 1990's
200 - Hurricane - Adventureland - http://rcdb.com/id409.htm - 2005
300 - Thriller - Land Of Make Believe - http://rcdb.com/id404.htm - 2005
400 - Great Nor'Easter - Morey's Piers - http://rcdb.com/id158.htm - 2006
500 - Fiesta Express - Cypress Gardens Adventure Park - http://rcdb.com/id2772.htm - 2008

Clearly I don't care about "milestones" (Nor do I really care about counting anymore)

For what its worth... the last credit I got was (#540.. I think) was Fahrenheit - HersheyPark - http://rcdb.com/id4049.htm ...And I didn't care for it.

I didn't even know about counting until 2003 :|
 
I think I may have made 100 now, and I think it was Olympia Looping (no fixed location - if that counts) but I'm trying to get 20 posts so that CF will let me edit my banner below... pesky glitch in the system.
 
I've spent a worrying amount of time today working this out - and discovering that because of a few kiddie coasters I always forget, it's not what I thought it was...

My 25th was apparently Nemesis Inferno, when I'd always thought it was Zipper Dipper. Turns out I couldn't count... bit disappointed, actually - I liked having it as a silly ride.

At least #50 makes up for it - as that's Nessie at Rhyl Ocean Beach, as a result of that fun day in September 2005 when I trekked over there with Rob and Furie, in search of my 50th. I went on a lot of rubbish that day xD

#75 meanwhile was Green Scream at Adventure Island. Meh.

Finally, #100, which I finally reached this Summer was Ghost Bomber at Movie Park, Germany. I admit, I'd have preferred a major coaster for my 100th, particularly with it happening on such an awesome trip, but there was no point faffing with ride order etc. just to make it so.

I'm still only on 97 UK coasters, if we're being fussy, so I'm intrigued to know what rubbish I can find to be my 100th on home soil xD
 
How bizarre. When you said "Ghost Bomber" I thought that was weird because I have no recollection of that ride and I was there..! Then I checked my coaster count on my profile and there it was.. Ghost Bomber, which wouldn't be that strange if it wasn't for the final twist... the ride is actually called Ghost Chasers!?! How have we both made that mistake..?!
 
Well, the first big coaster I ever really went on was Oblivion at Alton Towers - My friend and my dad had to force me on it, I wasn't into big rides back then, but I was after finishing it XD
 
Mines 50#Avalanche, Blackpool Pleasure Beach

My total CC is 55..... hopefully I will reach the big 100 soon!
 
It would appear El Diablo in Port Aventura was my hundredth (unique layout, unpowered) coaster! I should have celebrated :roll:
 
I've just worked out mine in order as far as I can remember. My count isn't very big yet really as I've only just properly got into coasters. However, I'll do the milestones in 10's and also include my first.

1: Trace du Hourra, Parc Asterix
10: Scorpion, Busch Gardens Africa
20: Nemesis, Alton Towers
30: Oblivion, Alton Towers
40: G-Force, Drayton Manor
 
25th- Cobra @ Paultons Park
50th- Troublesome Trucks @ Drayton Manor
60th- Stampadia (Blue Train) @ Port Aventura


Small coaster count.
 
My 100th was El Toro...unfortunately the ride was a huge let down.

150 was Shockwave at SFOT, just a month after getting my 100th. I really loved the ride so it was a cool milestone.
 
The next credit I get will be my 175th, which will probably means it will have to be Saw :roll:

Somehow though I don't think I will get many credits next year, annoyingly I think the biggest holiday I'm having next year is the Lake District. Fingers crossed I can get a better holiday than that. 2009 hasn't even started and I'm already saying it's going to be ****e, but still, I'm hoping I can actually get to some new parks.
 
^ 15 and your on 174 coasters! You lucky bugger! :wink: I don't know what my milestone coasters were because in don't know which order I rode them. I'll think really hard tomorrow. Mind you the only milestone would really be 25
 
I barely have 50 never mind 150 :shock:

Hopefully I'll get a decent batch of credits next year. Well my milestones at the moment are..

1 - African Big Apple
10 - G Force
20 - Colossus
30 - Furius Baco

:lol:
