My 250th could have been something really cool, or something specifiacally tiny and lame, but I wasn't payng attention and it ended up being Bobbejaanland's Wild Mouse. At least 300 was Silver Star.
 
Just got home from Paris 12 hours ago. Got my 900th coaster, milestone?

900 - RC Racer - Disneyland Paris - Walt Disney Studios Park (First International milestone, second at a Disney park, and third for an Intamin launch coaster.)
800 - Flying Turns - Knoebels Amusement Park & Resort (first wood milestone)
700 - California Screamin' - Disney California Adventure
600 - Xcelerator - Knott's Berry Farm
500 - Fiesta Express - Cypress Gardens
400 - Great Nor'Easter - Morey's Piers
300 - Thriller - Land Of Make Believe
200 - Hurricane - Adventureland NY
100 - ???
1 - ???

I still have no idea what my first coaster was.... And I was already well over 100 when I first started 'counting' back in 2003.

I think everyone needs one **** coaster that accidentally ends up being one of your milestones. ;)
 
^To be fair, it's probably one of the funniest coasters I've ever ridden, the comedy value is off the scale! The whole group was in fits of laughter as it slammed into the brake run. :D

I recently got my 200th which was Taron at Phantasialand (I purposely wanted it to be something fab and it didn't disappoint!)

Other milestones were:

50 - Dragon Khan
100 - Montu
150 - Wilde Maus XXL

To make you feel better, 250 isn't a true milestone. Mine was an SLC in Australia (which was surprisingly better than the norm, but still an SLC). :p
 
100 - Supersplash @ Plopsaland
150 - Runaway Train @ Bottons Pleasure Beach
200 - Cat-O-Pillar @ Paultons Park
250 - Harry Potter and the Escape from Gringotts @ USF
300 - Taron @ Phantasialand

Not only is it my new number 1 but I also got to share the experience front row with IFC! :D
 
Jumping back in time...

100. X-Flight, Geauga Lake (2006)
200. Superman: The Ride, Six Flags America (2009)
300. Wicked Cyclone, Six Flags New England (2015)

Looking forward to 400 next summer, whatever it ends up being.
 
Interesting idea @Antinos to look at the years too. I'm surprised I've never actually listed it out before...

1. Dragon - Legoland (2001)
25. Incredible Hulk - Universal Studios Islands of Adventure (2006)
50. Stealth - Thorpe Park (2008)
100. Racer - Kings Island (2010)
200. Renegade - Valleyfair! (2012)
300. Gold Striker - California's Great America (2013)
400. Intimidator 305 - Kings Dominion (2016)
500. Alpina Blitz - Nigloland (2017)

That said, I do have a chart in my spreadsheet for my total and new coasters per year, which sort of shows how I tend to have "big year, small year, medium year".

I like this idea.
What I don't like is that despite my best efforts, this year has fallen short of being my all time most credtastic.

(Edited because of Margate spite)

I've just had a slightly apologetic email from coastercount which has naffed me off a little bit.

Anyone like me who was counting Betty's Beehive coaster and The Counter Culture Caterpillar (Dreamland, Margate) as two separate creds, I'm afraid your count just dropped by 1 >:C
