Just sorting out my CC so I know that my 100th coaster is actually going to be my 100th and I can hopefully make it a good one.

I just have a question about Steeplechase. I know it's been polled before but I can't remember the results or anything. And this time it's important as I don't want my 100th to be a crappy kids coaster.

So is Steeplechase 1 credit or 3?

This is quite important for me as well.
Also isn't there one track that's usually down most the time. I know for definite I've done two of them but can't remember if I've done all three tracks or not and it's bugging me.

So yeah any help would... um.. help.
 
I count it as one as that's what CoasterCounter.com list it as.

Up to you though. It is three seperate tracks and I guess it depends how desperate you are to bump your coaster count up!
 
Well you've got the way it's considered which is the way the public call it.
They call the ride Steeplechase, not Steeplechase blue, Steeplechase red ect.
But then you've got the way that they are technically all separate circuits and are all different as some have wider bends than the others on corners.

But even if they did count as three I can't for the life of me remember if I've been on all three lanes.
 
Entirely up to you, really is.

I (obviously) count it as one. It's not presented in any other fashion. I can see why people class things like Duelling Dragons and Stampida as two (as the tracks are completely different), but Steeplechase the tracks all follow the same layout. There's no discernible difference between the three tracks - so it all adds up to one.

Don't ask if that means you have to ride all three tracks though, otherwise you end up with 1/3 or 2/3 of the coaster ridden :P
 
Just mark it as 1 then and have some crappy apple coaster as your 100th :P
 
Its 3.

Stampida is 2, 2 different tracks 2 different layouts.
Space Mountain Orlando is 2 as it the Matterhorn.
 
Whats so hard to get, Ben?

I count Steeple as 1 as they're all the same layout. You wouldn't specifically go in the queue 4 times to ride all of them. They do the same thing, and it's meant as 1 ride type.
 
Who is riding it four times...?

You're aware there's THREE tracks, right?

And that they don't *actually* all do the same, they're each slightly different.
 
The tracks are different though Erol. You go further around one corner on one than another.

It really does depend on how desperate you are to get yourself a fantastically high count :P

I'm happy with anyone doing whatever they like to count - there aren't any rules. However, it does make it a little tougher for you to take the moral high ground.

So, the question is Erol - if there was a clone of Steeple chase half a mile away, would that be a separate coaster on your count? It would, yet there's nothing different between the two, certainly less difference than there is between the tracks on the one ride ;)
 
Well yer, because its running on a separate operating system.

Steeple Chase runs all 3 tracks on 1 PLC making it 1 coaster. Same with Stampida, though the layouts are different which is what confuses me there, however they are different rides.
 
Aside from the "i know technical information and therefore am better than you" conversation,

It's basically the same ride. Yes technically there are three seperate tracks, but they follow exactly the same course, don't deviate from each other. I count most dueling things as one, except where there's a clear difference, e.g. Dueling Dragons.

Stampida doesn't deserve to be a credit with how crap a ride it is anyway.
 
I count Steeplechase as three, because they are three distinct tracks. Having said that, I have totally lost the place with my count these days.
 
I don't care what you count it as - I only keep a count for my records anyway! (heck, I've included hydro in one of my counts, so nyah!!)

If someone wants to class ice blast as a coaster, it's up to them...
 
I regard duelling or racing coasters being a single coaster for "credit" purposes, unless the two sides are significantly different. This means that the layouts have to do more than simply run alongside or mirror one another all the way around the circuit to count as more than one credit.

For example, I count the likes of Steeplechase, Rebel Yell and Lightning Racer as single credits. Duelling Dragons on the other hand would be two credits, as the two sides have very different elements.
