Keep an eye on it, I reckon it may double next year once he's tall enough to start going on some bigger rides

I just can't help but constantly think about my upcoming milestone. I really want my 200th coaster to be something special, but which one?
I'm very much leaning toward Manta, but then there's Diamondback or perhaps Hollywood Rip, Ride, Rockit.
However, who says it has to be a new coaster? Why not Voyage or Thunderhead or Raven or even Kentucky Rumbler, since I'm such a woodie fanboy? The only steel coaster other than the three new ones I can think of that deserves the honor would be X2, but that simply ain't happnin.
Decisions, decisions...

Think he'll catch the kid? Aidan's 11 years old and his cc is 179, so there's enough time for your young'un to do it. But the kid's cc will likely double in 2009 with the trips we've got planned. Here's the link so mm_furie can keep his eyes set on his target. http://www.coastercounter.com/AidanHawkfurie said:http://www.coastercounter.com/MM_furie

BTW, his name isn't AidanHawk - that's his xbox gamertag (named after Tony Hawk). He was 6 years old at the time & I shouldn't have let him pick his gamertag, but he still likes it.

No, he won't
Like the rest of Family_Furie, he's pretty much anchored in the UK. I've only got a 15 or so coasters abroad as it is, as has Minor_Furie (we both tally at over a hundred). The UK is just too small to easily capture a large count, though Jake and Ben have tried (and Shockwave has all but one I believe). However, I'm willing to give it a go

Phil, by the time the UK season is up and running and by the time all the new coasters are open, I will have 5 to go at least (Pleasureland Southport is still up in the air as to whether the coasters will still even be there, but I'll get them if they are).
I may need to bribe/borrow your family with much grovelling on a weekend day for the one at Twinlakes due their entrance policy. :wink:
One of the 5 coasters will also end up being number 600 for me.

I try to make milestone coasters interesting rides, as opposed to kiddy coasters. I also attempt, if possible, to make them occur outside the US.
I have no clue what my first coaster was, but it was likely either the Jr. Cannonball at Canobie Lake or the long gone kiddy coaster at the long gone Benson's Animal Farm.
I didn't know people even counted coasters for a LONG time, so I have no clue what my number 100 or 200 were.
By the time I started counting seriously, I was somewhere around 175-225, but I didn't hear the idea of milestone coasters until I'd already passed 300.
So, here's what I DO know:
#400 - White Cyclone, Nagashima SpaLand.
#500 - Dreamcatcher, Bobbejaanland (This was supposed to be Typhoon, but I messed up!)
#600 - Zaturn, Space World
#700 - SpongeBob Squarepants Rock Bottom Plunge, Nickelodeon Universe.
#800 - Behemoth, Canada's Wonderland
I have absolutely no clue what's in store for #900 right now.
