Steeplechase

1 or 3?

  • 1 as that's what the GP see it as and it's only advertised as one ride

  • 3 as they're all seperate complete circuits that just run alongside each other

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.

^ I agree. It's just common sense and it doesn't make you seem like a bit of a credit whore :P

Btw, I count Steeplechase as one credit :roll:
 
My instincts say it would be one credit. It's a bit of a grey area. In my current count, i've counted it as one, but i'm happy to count it as three as i am trying to increase my CC. The tracks do feel quite different, one is particually brutal, the inside one as it has the sharper corners, conversely the outside one gives a better ride.

On the 3 different tracks = 3 credits argument, do you not count Grand National untill you've done both sides, or do you get half a credit for one? You can't count it as two following the logic of 3 tracks = 3 credits.
 
Should be counted as three. They are all a different length due to the corners.

Oh and not sure how relevant this is but one 'track/lane' having techincal issues doesnt stop the other two running.
 
^ Even though all the tracks operate off one control board, they can operate independently when it comes to ride errors. I don't know how it works exactly, but thats the case on pretty much every dueling coaster.
 
I count it as three, I also count Grand National as two aswell. I like my credits. whore*cough cough :wink:
 
I class it as three but im not sure if Nash is 2 or 1 due to the switch.
 
Steeplechase is 3, as there are 3 seperate tracks.
Grand National is 1, and you have to ride it all the way around (ie- Both sides) to be able to count it.
 
That's it. I'm upping my count by two. Most people seem to view it as three. I'm going by the rule of one circuit is a credit, meaning Nash is only 1 coaster that you need to ride both halfs of.

You've never ridden it all the way around Mike. There's that small section between the brakes and the airgates!!! :shock:

So, unless you actually get off the ride at the same point you leave, you can't count it!

So Steeplechase if 0 then for you Mike :P
 
I count it as 3, but that's because I'm a whore. It is three separate tracks each with a slightly, if insignificant, different layout and therefore it is three different coasters.
 
I'm thinking of counting it as one just to avoid confusion. It's only advertised as one ride on the map and stuff anyway and they don't call each different colour a different coaster.

Also just checking but I'm more than certain on the answer.
Can you include both Traumatizer and Infusion on your CC?
 
^Again, I would (I haven't been on both) simply because it's advertised as a completely new coaster, it's in a new setting and offers a new ride experience. And it's on CoasterCounter twice =]
 
3 for me...

It's a duelling coaster...

Also, if we're going on about it being named as one ride, what about rides such as WDW's Space Mountain which has a mirrored layout next to it? Same for Matterhorn at DL...

Also Ollie, don't count moved coasters that you've already been on, I haven't been on Infusion, but I won't count it as new if I ever go on it since I went on it when it was Traumatizer...

The hypocrisy!!!

This is why I don't count clones. Is there any difference (ride-wise, really, actually, that you could be able to tell the difference between the two rides if blindfolded) between say the Spinning mouse on Blackpool's pier, and the spinning mouse on Brighton's pier? Certainly less than there is difference between Traumatizer and Infusion, and less than the difference between the three Steeplechase tracks.

People really need to think about what they count and don't. There's just no kind of realistic consistency :P

Both Disney coasters you have mentioned are not mirrored layouts, they are totally different.

I count it as 3 because the 3 different tracks are separate, same for any multi-track duelling coaster...

There is no definite way of people counting rides and not, it's like people who don't count powered coasters for not being 'true' coasters... When they do coast at certain points within the aid of electricity...

Clones are also difficult, but each one is usually really different... Some of them can be smooth, others may not be... It's all in the eye of the beholder, and I don't think we'll ever see a definite rule of thumb on these because more arguements will occur...

And marc, I didn't know the WDW SM had differences... But with that, both tracks should be counted because they are different...
