coaster count?

What about travelling coasters such as Wild Mouse and Euro Star? Do they count. Just to add a little more discussion and I am rather anxieous to know.

I've counted certain fair coasters. Actually I've only counted one because it was fairly large, whereas with most of the Dragon coasters, I don't count them unless they are permanently placed in a location, such as Beech Bend or Wildzone Adventure.

It's up to you.

If you intend to count them, make note of who the fair operator/owner is while you are at the carnival. That way you can keep better track of which portable coasters you've ridden.
 
I just had a thought.

Madame_Furie wnet on roller coasters after she had conceived Maxi-Minor_Furie (bit before she knew - she's not irresponsible :P ).

Anyway, the question has to be... Does MMF get to count the coasters Madame_Furie went on whole pregnant with him? He could easily gain an extra maybe six credits. This is important people ;)

How many months was she gone?

Days, maybe a week or two! :lol:

It's all the same surely?

(just be thankful I didn't say minutes ;) )
 
Well according to the Catholic Church (pah :P ), then yes, he does get the credits. Because they believe that at the moment of conception, new life has begun.

But, if the coaster is relocated to another park under a different name, it is still not considered a new credit.


To be fair, it's a new coaster to that park. So, another credit.

So if I get him baptised in a Catholic church, he'll not only gain eternal salvation, but get half a dozen new credits? Awesome! :)

I agree actually.

There is no difference to closed rides than there is to relocated. If you're going to count one, you should count the other :)

If it's all about "experience and location" rather than layout, then a relocated coaster will ride differently and give a different experience in a new park. So it should count :)

Indeed he will, I think it's worth a go! :P
 
Would it still count if she rode on a Sunday then? See, the ride ops are breaking the sabbath by working on that day, and maybe going on coasters is also classed as breaking the sabbath.

Marc is probably the best expert on what is and isn't allowed on the sabbath :)
 
Furie what is going on here are you drunk or had a bang on the head :)

So you are now saying you should count all Apple coasters as the location makes a difference?

Were they Jewish?
 
I think furie, even if she did ride on a Sunday, a Self Denying Ordinance will get you off the hook :wink:

I think you should count them. How many then if you do? And what pants parks will not have to be revisited? :lol:
 
So what makes me laugh is you are going to count them when he is -8 months but he could still not ride them until he was 4 lol.

Just bored! :)

Yes, I am! Do you count all the Apple coasters you've been on?

Was the one at Southport better than the one at Alton Towers? Was the Clown coaster at Blackpool a better ride than the one at Oakwood?

No, both offered the same ride - yet people (including you) will count them as a credit each. Move the coaster and suddenly the ride has changed, or not changed, or what? Big Apple in Alton is the same as the same ride in a grass field, or on a mountain top or if it's a duplicate clone copy in the same park.

Count them all, or don't count them at all ;)

I think on the Sabbath front, Catholicism is essentially the same as the Jewish version? Where there wasn't a New Testament ruling, they just used the Jewish rules :)

I'm C o fE - that's "Obey the rules... unless you don't feel like it in which case just keep it quiet and nobody will say anything" ;)

He'd get all the Disney coasters - so well worth the credits I reckon :)
 
Saves an expensive trip I suppose :P

You can also use it as an excuse not to go if begging were to ensue on his part :lol:
 
Jewish one is on Friday at sunset until Saturday Sunset. Everyone else is Sunday I think.

So be eating a Bacon roll at Alton on a Saturday is breaking the rules, saything that I am anyway being one of "them people" lol :)
