Milestones in Your Counts

That's brilliant!

I'm 27 but I'm open to the idea of them adopting me?

Well there not obsessive about theme parks like you or I, so having one coaster enthusiast as a son is probably enough

^ My parents love to travel a lot and luckily for me, it often coincides with theme parks I want to go to. So we tend to mix it up a bit between culture and theme parks and it does help that my parents also really enjoy going to them.

My family have always been going to theme parks, both on day trips and on holiday since I was very young, so it has become a fairly big part of our trips.

But still... My family also loves to travel (and visit theme parks), but it would be a borderline miracle if I could make my parents (okay, mostly mum) to more than one big park per trip (the only exception was our trip to England last year when we visited both AT and PBB).
But on the other hand, I shouldn't complain. Having 114 creds to my name at age of 17 isn't really too few either, especially considering that the nearest decent theme park from where we live is a good 4 hours of driving away.

^ If you look at it from that angle, the layout is actually brilliant. If only they were smooth...

I agree, never ridden one but it's such a wasted opportunity. The layout has so much potential, if only Vekoma could figure out how to properly fabricate a piece of track.

^ Maybe if they tried putting the crossties between the rails. Then it might actually be decent.

[Chris Coasters]

^Creeping up to 1000?

 

[ECG]

Yeah, almost there. It's just getting harder as the years go by, especially without riding those damn kiddie coasters. Went all the way to Chile and only got two new credz.

 

[nadroJ]

^Pfft you have the whole of Asia to go yet, I think you'll manage ;]

 

[Tomatron]

Anaconda at Walygator was my 100th wooden coaster.

I'm all about the crap milestones.

 

[ECG]

^You definitely picked a crap one there bud. :lol:

 

[Tomatron]

^At least Monster was over the way to ease the pain!

Hopefully I'll make my 200th woodie less crap that that, and there's a good chance I'll do that when I'm in America for 8 weeks this summer!

Re:200 woodies.... scared me to realise that RCDB only lists 175 woodies in the world - how many have gone defunct in the last few years

(I'm on something around 117 of them, most still there but ~15 gone)

I moved the replies to Lord Morton's post to a new topic in order to keep the discussion going without hijacking this one.

Honestly thought there were at least 170 in the US alone! I'm staggered by that.

I've done about 60 of them in the US, and after reviewing my count I could probably get another 70 this year. Looks like I"ll have to bump up the woodie count in Europe and elsewhere!

Growing up in Edmonton, there was no real exposure to any good coasters besides the Mindbender at West Edmonton Mall. So, that would have to be my 50 and 100. I've honestly ridden it over 1000 times so I'm sure that's gotta be it.

 

[nadroJ]

It's funny because Edmonton is a rough part of London.
