Top 5 most ridden coasters?

Still a 6FGAm based list for me.
Bull, Batman, Eagle, Whizzer, Viper

Whizzer and Viper might be the other way around. All of them include employee ride events.
6FGAm based for me as well.

1. Eagle
2. Viper
3. Batman
4. X-Flight
5. Whizzer

Bull usually has a long line so I skip it... especially now that I've ridden a few other coasters over 200 feet and realize how good it could have been. :cry:
 
1. Outlaw Run
2. Wildfire
3. X-Flight
4. Viper
5. American Eagle


Posted while reading your mind.
 
No idea. I should think my most ridden is Colossus, followed by Nemesis Inferno, just because I used to live next door to Staines as a student for four years (pre-Stealth). After that, probably Vampire and Runaway Mine Train because I used to visit Chessington much more than Thorpe in good old days of the 80s and 90s. X:/wtf is probably in fifth.
 
1. Dominator-Kings Dominion
2 and 3: Tie between Apollo's Chariot at Busch Gardens Williamsburg and Intimidator 305 at Kings Dominion
4. Rebel Yell-Kings Dominion
5. Volcano: The Blast Coaster-Kings Dominion
 
1. Cannonball Run, --- times
2. Judge Roy Scream, -- times
3. American Thunder, 14 times
4. Wildfire, 8 times
5. Kumba, 5 times

My family goes to Orange Beach at least twice a year since I was about 5. Ever since I was 8, I would ride the roller coaster in Orange Beach, Cannonball Run, about 6 times each visit without getting off. Six Flags Over Texas is also my only home park. I would come here a few times a year and just re-ride Judge Roy Scream. Other than that, I just rode these a lot during my visit and perhaps went to the park multiple times, and it has added up.

1. Phoenix - Knoebels
2. Boulder Dash - Lake Compounce
3. Canobie Corkscrew - Canobie Lake
4. Yankee Cannonball - Canobie Lake
5. Lightning Racer - Hershey

This is a rough guess. I know Phoenix is one but as far as 3-5 It could be a lot especially from Hershey. I think Lightning Racer is definitely the one I have been on the most at Hershey although Great Bear and Fahrenheit are close behind.

New record for me. My friends and I rode Skull Mountain 22 times. The line was dead and then it started to rain so it was one of few rides open so we kept riding it. The horrible mummy moaning sound is hilarious.
 
I can't say for sure, but I am assuming it's probably

1. Stealth - Thorpe Park (Yay for re-riding when there's no queue)
2. Oblivion - Alton Towers (A mixture of single rider and no queue make this one of the easiest to get a high ride count on)
3. The Smiler - Alton Towers (Surprisingly enough I have been to Alton a couple of times during weekdays and there have been times when smiler has had no queue after lunch. So because I am a glutton for punishment I tend to re-ride it a ton)
4. The Swarm - Thorpe (I have been lucky with the queues for this one)
5. Nemesis - Alton Towers (Yay for whoring single rider)
 
I don't keep perfect track of this, but I've only visited Cedar Point, SFGAdv, and Hershey Park multiple times, so I've got a decent idea.

1.) Trail Blazer (at the age of 7, I rode it ~20 times in a row on one day because the park was empty and it was the only ride I would go on)
2.) Lightning Racer
3.) Millennium Force
4.) Maverick
5.) Kingda Ka

I keep track of every ride so I can list a top 10 with ride count:

1 - El Toro at Six Flags Great Adventure (334 times)
2 - Great American Scream Machine at Six Flags Great Adventure (210)
3 - Nitro at Six Flags Great Adventure (185)
4 - Medusa/Bizarro at Six Flags Great Adventure (146)
5 - Rolling Thunder at Six Flags Great Adventure (132)
6 - Boulder Dash at Lake Compounce (106)
7 - Cyclone at Coney Island (93)
8 - Batman The Ride at Six Flags Great Adventure (81)
9 - Superman Ultimate Flight at Six Flags Great Adventure (79)
10 - Kingda Ka at Six Flags Great Adventure (57)

334 times!? Damn that's impressive as hell.

I lost track of the counts I had a long, long time ago. Off the top of my head my top 5 is something like:

1 - Nitro @ Great Adventure
2 - El Toro @ Great Adventure
3 - Big Bad Wolf @ BGW
4 - Apollo's Chariot @ BGW
5 - Loch Ness @ BGW

I rode Nitro at least 40 times this year already. El Toro's probably about 35 so far. I once spent six hours riding the Wolf and took a trip down to VA just so I could ride it a few more times before it closed. I rode Apollo's for an entire day, and one of the crew members even brought me lunch so I could get off, eat and hop back on. Nessie I haven't really done anything impressive on, but ever since I rode it for the first time in 2006 I've ridden it at least four times every visiting day.
 
Well I haven't been keeping track of these things recently, and TBH it's not the least bit bloody interesting anyway.

Some stats from the last few years:
Shockwave 119
Oblivion 106
Nemesis 104
Rita 51
Th13teen 25
 
1. Joris en de Draak (Efteling): 62 - Most re-ridable coaster IMO. Super smooth, not TOO forceful and doesn't ever get old.
2. Vogel Rok (Efteling): 30 - Used to be my favorite coaster before I became an enthusiast + amazing operations/capacity
3. Goliath (Walibi Holland): 29 - Not surprising, since it's the only great coaster in the park
4. Xpress (Walibi Holland): 28 - I love launches, and this is the best you can get in the Netherlands.
5. Troy (Toverland): 26 - Awesome ride and always a walk on queue

1. Verbolten - 13 times
2. Bizarro - 10 times
3. Three way tie - Griffon; Yankee Cannonball; Canobie Corkscrew - 7 times


After that there's quite a lot that's the same
1. Verbolten - 13 times
2. Nemesis - 11 times
3. Bizarro - 10 times
4. Three way tie - Griffon; Yankee Cannonball; Canobie Corkscrew - 7 times

Verboten was over the course of two days, but Nemesis takes the record for most rides in one day.
 
I've never really kept track but it's probably something like this:

1. Outlaw Run
2. Viper
3. X-Flight
4. Wildfire
5. American Eagle/Raging Bull
 
1. Millennium Force - lost count past 350.
2t. Top Thrill Dragster - lost count past 250
2t. Magnum XL-200 - lost count past 250 as well
4. Dominator - both incarnations rack up over 100 without a doubt


Past that.. I'm not sure tbh. Maverick is up there, as is Raptor, Ravine Flyer II. I do know my top 3 tho as I kept a religious count for some time.

After my visit back from SDC

1. Cannonball Run, --- times
2. Judge Roy Scream, -- times
3. American Thunder, 14 times
4. Wildfire, 13 times
5. Outlaw Run, 11 times
 
1. Patriot (WoF)
2. Prowler (WoF)
3. Titan (SFOT)
4. Mr. Freeze (SFOT)
5. Mamba (WoF)
I would LOVE to ride New Texas Giant a lot more, but the line gets long pretty quick. Titan NEVER has a line when I go there.

El Toro-SFGAdv - 300+
Nitro-SFGAdv - 200+
Phoenix-Knoebels - 100+
Skyrush-Hershey - 20+
