Have you ever self-spited yourself out of a roller coaster?

Most notable ones for me would be Superman Ultimate Flight and Joker at Six Flags Great America. The park was only open in the evening the day we were there and by 22:30 we had ridden every other cred that was open and were cold and knackered. I had 30 mins to get those two creds and it would have been easy to do, but I had ridden versions of them at other Six Flags parks and not really enjoyed them, so we left! Zero regrets

Oh I've got loads. Not just kiddie creds either, I've avoided numerous large coasters that I deem to be unworthy, or just plain sh*te. Boomerangs, SLC's, Thunderbolts, spinning mice, Zacspins, Volares etc..
Don't like 'em. Why ride 'em?
The example that most of you will probably find most shocking is this: I went to Energylandia and only rode 7 creds. Not because I was spited, high crowds or running out of time, but simply because there's just so much sh*te there that I had zero interest in riding.

Revoke this man's goon license!

Nah - @Howie is very good at being the bag lady & taking photos of us shameful lot enjoying the +1 kiddi creds.

I do agree with @Howie
If you have so many great rides like Viking, Happy Loops or that circus coaster, why bother with that crappy wannabe Giga and the thing that’s unsure if it wants to be a steel coaster or a woodie?

You mean like these?

That’s the spirit!

I don't think I've ever seen someone ride a cred "side saddle" before - that is commitment!

Got to squeeze in there somehow! If I recall correctly, my thighs were longer than the whole room of the seat, so I had to get creative.

Robin Hood at Walibi Holland - as I was feeling a little nauseous early on after riding the Boomerang & Plantform 13, next time I returned it was Untamed (I also didn't ride Condor that trip but have since got it). This was before I took counting seriously and only wanted to ride 'good' looking things

Also Rip-riding Rocket, as the one and only time I visited it was for 1 day and i wanted to prioritise the more 'universal' attractions and dark rides! (was doing US AND IOA in a combo day). so didn't get round to riding RRR and it has since gone!

I intentionally skip coasters all the time. Sometimes its due to time, sometimes I prioritize rides so that causes me to skip stuff. It took me about 6-7 visits to SFGAdv before I got all the credits lol.

I went to CW and only rode 4 of the 17 coasters they have there.

I skipped Invertigo at KI for an extra ride on Bat and Delirium.

I could've ridden Walking Dead at Thorpe. First time I was there, I was running low on time so I had to prioritize the majors. I did end up getting in line for it, but it broke down right before I got into the building, so I left. My second visit, I got in line for it, but decided an extra Hyperia ride was more worth it so I got out of line and went back to Hyperia.

Inflating the count is really nice, but I'll always prioritize the best coasters over +1s.

I don't do it often - but I skipped Flight of the Hippogriff because I couldn't face a 60 minute+ queue for a clone of something fifty miles from home.

I probably caught IoA on a bad day.

The day we were at Walibi Belgium it was really cold and we were incredibly close to just ditching Pulsar for that reason. Then the sun came out, so we got in line. And then it broke down and we almost missed it anyway!

(Fortunately they fixed the turntable and we got to ride...though our buddy got put on a corner seat and got his jacket soaked!)

My 7th birthday, I self spited on Dragon Fyre at Wonderland and got boo'ed by a bunch of teens and adults as I walked off.

When I was 12, I self spited on the Impulse at Geauga Lake. Turns out I was not living for the launch until the following year

 

[Boodangy]

I think the only large scale coaster I self-spited was in 2019 in Germany when I skipped Limit at Heide because of the SLCs reputation, however I did it as Toxic Garden a couple months back and loved it, so. Whoops, I guess.

Strongly questioning the sanity of adults (or even teens) who'd heckle a small child for skipping a ride. Or for any reason.

Insane at Gröna Lund, I just refuse to put myself through it! I was intrigued before we went, then I stood and watched a few cycles and realised it's called insane because you have to be to ride it.
