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...

This is true, I just ask for consistency :)

Clones are also difficult, but each one is usually really different... Some of them can be smooth, others may not be...

I had some fantastic runs on Traumatizer, where there was very little pain. I also had some atrocious runs where I felt my head was being ripped from my body.

Infusion has always offered a very kind of "promise of pain" ride that it never fully delivers. However, the inclusion of the water features does add something a little more interesting to the ride experience.

So same coaster, but even in one place it offers a different experience, in a different place a very different experience.

Now, I'll bet when I ride another standard SLC, the ride I get will be harsh, okay or meh. It will not offer anything I've not experienced form that single SLC at Southport/Blackpool. Even if it does, my memory of that ride at Southport is now so far diluted, it makes very little difference.

So why count the clone? Or even more so, why NOT count Infusion (the ride experience IS different to that of Traumatizer).

See, consistency is the key. If you have a rule for one ride, then you have to make sure that anything else may also be covered - within your own terms.

If you count powered coasters, then add Goldmine and Squirrel Nutty to your list. Both coast at some point and have all the same basic foundations of a powered coaster. I won't call any out for having the guts to stand by their own rules and principles ;)
 
I've only been on one side of Steeplechase, so obviously I count it as 3 credits.


Seriously though, I can totally see why people count it 3 credits, however I count it as 1 credit in total. It 'could' be because I already missed Zipper Dipper when there (just forgot to ride it!!, lol), so missing 3 credits would make me even more annoyed :lol:
