Posted June 2, 201114 yr comment_117037 Can anyone tell me the rules for coaster credits because I really want to do mine, thanks in advance!
June 3, 201114 yr comment_117062 Coaster credits are basically a tally of how many coasters a person has been on, I think. I'm afraid I don't know too much about them because I just tend to enjoy the experience and entertainment of a theme park rather than count how many I've done. :DI get that it's a big thing for a lot of enthusiasts though!
June 3, 201114 yr comment_117066 If you go onto a site like Theme Park Review, alot of them there count there credits. I'm in the same boat as Sheepie id rather enjoy the ride rather then rember how many times I have been on it. This fourm from TPR should teach you abit more about credits http://www.themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=860.Jake
June 3, 201114 yr comment_117077 I wouldn't go to a park just to get a credit and I won't go wandering around clown coasters, big apple coasters and all the family coasters just to improve my coaster count.(I do know what my coaster count is though )
June 3, 201114 yr comment_117079 I've never thought about this before, just spent 20 mins on coaster count and it's amazing how it adds up. 105 steel, 16 wood and that's without really thinking about it, sure there are quite a few more. They do count racers and duel tracks multiple times though (space mountain, steeplechase, grand national etc), which I'm not sure I agree with.
June 3, 201114 yr Author comment_117084 I just wanted to know if you counted water coasters, dark rides??
June 3, 201114 yr comment_117085 Looking at that coaster count site - water coasters - yes, water chute/log flumes - no. Dark rides only if they house a coaster. There seem to be a million ways of doing it, a lot of people don't seem to like counting powered coasters, like mine trains.
June 3, 201114 yr comment_117086 Pretty simple when you think about it: A coaster credit is a roller coaster! Yeah, some people don't like counting powered coasters, but I think they should be to be honest. Duelling coasters I think should be separate for different track, as long as they have different layouts.I keep a track of my credits (to be fair though, it's not that high at the moment!) and of ride counts and all that. It's just something that I feel is natural with the whole idea of being an enthusiast, though I completely understand that some just don't do it. (Oh, and I probably would be one of those people who would try and get on every coaster possible, just for the credit of it. )
June 3, 201114 yr comment_117089 But say dark rides and water coasters, do they count?Thats entirely up to you. Dark rides depend. Revenge of the Mummy is a rollercoaster, Duel is not for example.
June 3, 201114 yr comment_117090 As said above: Looking at that coaster count site - water coasters - yes, water chute/log flumes - no. Dark rides only if they house a coaster. There seem to be a million ways of doing it, a lot of people don't seem to like counting powered coasters, like mine trains.Water coasters: YesDark rides: Only if they have a coaster. So, Hex - Not a credit, X:\NWO - Credit.
June 3, 201114 yr comment_117091 I count my coasters and rides on ride counter (http://www.ridecounter.com/) it is basically the same as their coaster counter site but it allows you to count your dark rides and water rides etc also.I enjoy keeping track of where I have been and what I have ridden but I would not go out of my way just to chase a credit.
June 3, 201114 yr comment_117093 I count my coasters and rides on ride counter (http://www.ridecounter.com/) it is basically the same as their coaster counter site but it allows you to count your dark rides and water rides etc also.It actually is the same site, but if you log into coastercounter instead of ridecounter it only shows you your coasters. I never knew the ride part existed, so thanks for that!
June 3, 201114 yr comment_117095 It actually is the same site, but if you log into coastercounter instead of ridecounter it only shows you your coasters. I never knew the ride part existed, so thanks for that!That's ok and yes if you log onto coaster counter it also gives you some fun facts based on your ride count, you have travelled this far etc. I love that little feature.
June 4, 201114 yr comment_117131 Can anyone tell me the rules for coaster credits because I really want to do mine, thanks in advance!The are no official "rules" to it, just depends on what you class as a roller coaster. I count how many I've been on, but not how many times I've been on each individual one.Dave
