I just found this on coaster-count.com...

Surely that's not a coaster, just a playground thing... it's in Barry.

Anyone been on it? Anyone counted it? I used to trust coaster-count.com!

:lol: , so somebody is counting it as a coaster. I remember we had a thread on it last year just after Ukrides had posted an article about it.

We used to have this topic... It wasn't a good topic, it was full of people waving coaster counts around like they were gonads...

It's a play utility, like swings or see-saws. If this is a coaster, then zip lines are suspended coasters

It's marked as an "Undefined" at Coaster-count.com so just un-select in your options menu that you don't count them.
But it's as much of a coaster as Teeny-Weeny...

El-Paso Express at Hansa Park is also on there, but it's also marked as undefined, and if I were to count that one, then the one that were at Liseberg is missing.

Teeny-Weeny is actually clearly a coaster. It has a lift hill, a little hill at the bottom and a train of cars. You look at it and think "awwww, it's a tiny little roller coaster". It's what it is - a small coaster for small children, but no less a coaster.

This thing can't get around the circuit without you getting off it and walking to the top of the hill. It just fails totally at being a coaster

El-Paso Express at Hansa Park is also on there, but it's also marked as undefined, and if I were to count that one, then the one that were at Liseberg is missing.

No idea why that is listed as Alpine Bobs (or Musical Express') are flat rides and have been classed as such for sixty years or so by the ride industry. I think maybe somebody on there is adding things they shouldn't...

I've been a horrible credit whore, but no way I'd ever count that thing!

Anyone who counts that as a credit - your goon rating will double.

I once went down an icy hill on a sled.
Can I add it to my count and call it a bobsled coaster?

 

[Ollie]

It's clearly not. Only extreme credit whores will count it.
It's easy to count a coaster. Just think what the general public would see it as. If it's a stereotypical coaster then it's a credit. If it's a seat in a playground that slides along a rail then it's clearly not.

Says he who counts t'Edge =]

No, don't be ridiculous.

I never counted it. I was joking about it/semi serious but never actually added it to my coaster count. Same with Hydro I don't count.

I think if anyone ever bothers to go to Barry in Wales just to ride it deserves to count it :shock: .

It looks like in that photo that there is a coaster club at the ride and I bet they all probably counted it.
