Last year I ticked off a lot of new and rare ride types - Huss King Kong, S&S Free Fly, Intamin Invert, RMC woodie, Zac Spin, Gerstlauer Infinity coaster and a Hopkins coaster to name a few.

I've yet to ride a 4D coaster and a Gerstlauer Sky Roller/Flyer (although I'm not looking forward to the latter). What ride types do you need to tick off?
 
Well let me see...

-S&S 4D
-RMC Woodie
-Intamin Zac Spin
-Gerstlauer Eurofighter and Infinity
-B&M Wing Coaster
-Maurer Söhne Spinner
-Premier launch coaster
-Intamin Wing Coaster


What the hell am I still doing here?
 
Just doing coasters:

- Intamin mega
- S&S/Arrow 4D
- Intamin ZacSpin
- Gerstlauer Eurofighter/Infinity
- Intamin full-circuit launched (or any derivation thereof, impulses not included)
- Mack Mega
- Maurer Spinning or X-Car
- GCI/GG Woodie

Yeah, I don't get around much...
 
-4D
-RMC Woodie
-Hybrid
-Intamin Mega Lite
-Mack Mega
-ZacSpin
-B&M Giga
-Intamin Invert
-Intamin Blitz
-Intamin Impulse
-Morer Spinning
-Gerstlauer Spinning
-Anything by Morgan
-Anything by Schwarzkopf
 
I could go on forever listing coaster types I've yet to tick off, but I'm only going to list the most obvious ones...

Gravity Group woodie.
B&M Standup
B&M Giga
Intamin MegaLite
Intamin Hyper (I don't count EGF or Goliath WW)
Intamin Giga
Intamin Wing (Skyrush)
Intamin Prefabricated woodie.
S&S 4D
Morgan Hyper
Morgan Giga
Gerstlauer launch
RMC woodie.

I'll have all these bar 3 knocked off by August unless I get spited.
 
I guess it's just an S&S 4D for me. :(
I could have done a HUSS King Kong with Ian last summer, but couldn't be bothered tbh. I think that's pretty much the case with any flat ride type I haven't done yet.
I still haven't done the SkyJump off the Stratosphere tower in Las Vegas, but that box should get ticked off this year.
 
In terms of coaster types, I think it's just RMC woodie at the moment.
 
Looking at other people's lists it is just about every type that has already been mentioned!
I'd really like to do an Intamin Invert, RMC, and a Giga coaster!
 
^I surprised you have ridden one yet. How about a Sunkid Nautic Jet, my other favorite do-it-yourself ride?
 
Erm, just pulling things as they pop into my head:

Togo Stand-Up (And other bizarre Asian manufacturers)
Mack bobsled
Mack launched
A proper water coaster (Though technically rode 5 ft. of what's left of Buzzsaw Falls and Blazing Fury/Fire In The Hole)
A Wacky Worm
And other quirky, one-off rides
 
I've still got to get a:

- Vekoma Flying Dutchman
- RMC
- B+M stand up
- Wingtamin
- Zierer with free fall drop section
- Intamin Mega
- Intamin Blitz
- S&S 4D
- Mack launch coaster
- Anything made by Togo or Morgan

and pretty much most flat rides because I can't be arsed with them. My trip plans this year should see me ticking off a fair few of those coaster types though :)
 
Uh...

B&M Wingrider
B&M Giga
Intamin Mega Lite
Intamin Suspended
Intamin Woodie
Intamin Zacspin
RMC Woodie

GCI Woodie
GG Woodie
S&S 4th Dimension
Vekoma Flying

Intamin Stand Up (Cobra @ La Ronde)
Chance Rides Toboggan
Chance Rides Hyper GT-X Coaster (Lightning Run)

There's tons I haven't been on, but just naming the major ones that pop into my head:

ZacSpin
Any type of Wing
GG Woodie
Eurofighter
Anything by Togo
Anything by RMC
GIB or Invertigo
Anything by S&S
Anything by Mack that isn't a wild mouse
Anything by Zierer
Sky Loop
MS Spinner
Mega Lite
 
^ A quick trip up to Six Flags Over Georgia and Dollywood will get you on two Eurofighters and a B&M Wing.
(My favorite hyper and wooden are also in those parks!)
 
^ Yeah, that's definitely a trip I'd like to do at some point in my life. That said, I'm still a teenager living with my parents, so my influence on where we go for vacations is somewhat limited. It's definitely a possibility for the next few years though.
