sfmmrules! Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 Let's see: Stealth & Greased Lightnin that were at CGA, High Roller,Speed(if it never opens again), Zonga(SFDK-was lucky to get on it once).

Em-Z Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 I don't know if someone posted this already since I don't want to read through six pages, but here are the top 10 least counted coasters from coastercounter.com. There's actually a list of 100 in alphabetical order but I'm not posting all of that so here's the rare ones from A to B - they're all in pretty obscure places. 1 Achterbahn (Trampoline, Pentling Bavaria, Germany) 1 2 Adventure Train (Adventureland, Sharjah Sharjah, United Arab Emirates) 1 3 Astropax 18 (Attractionmania, Moscow Moscow, Russia) 1 4 Batman (Malmo Folkets Park, Malmo Skane, Sweden) 1 5 Blizzard (Lucky Star Park, Aradippou Larnaca, Cyprus) 1 6 Blizzard (Slaskie Wesole Miasteczko, Chorzow Slaskie, Poland) 1 7 Boomerang (Geroland, Cairo Cairo, Egypt) 1 8 Boomerang (Tashkent Park, Tashkent Tashkent, Uzbekistan) 1 9 Brucomela (Mirabilndia, Olinda Pernambuco, Brazil) 1 10 Butterfly (Flugplatz Sitterdorf, Sitterdorf Thurgau, Switzerland) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robbalvey Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 Let's see: Stealth & Greased Lightnin that were at CGA, High Roller,Speed(if it never opens again), Zonga(SFDK-was lucky to get on it once). I think there is already a thread like this: "Coasters That You Have Been On That Are Gone Now." But see, a ride like Greased lightnin (Tidal Wave) was litterally ridden by MILLIONS of people in it's lifetime. So it can't be that "rare." And Zonga, operated on the German traveling fair, then at Astroworld, then SFDK and still operates today. Again, *MILLIONS* of people have probably been on it. IMO, I kind of think the most "rare" credit is something a bit more personal for everyone. It's almost more like "What is your most 'sought after' credit?" For example, that list posted above...I could care less about ANY of them. Would I ride them given an opprotunity? Sure. But I wouldn't travel for any of them. I think this question is sort of like the "how do you count coasters?" question. It's really up to each person to decide what THEIR most 'rare' or 'sought after' credit really is. --Robb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matteocrepaldi Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 Katapult at Mirabilandia was a rare credit because it operated about a week or so during the only year it was there. Also the credits at Stricker's Grove are pretty rare because it doesn't open very much to the public. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
netdvn Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 http://www.rcdb.com/id1870.htm Under Construction since 1988. I believe only family members of the park owners got to ride... http://www.rcdb.com/id3478.htm Only two people have ever been on this coaster I'm sure there are other coasters in the world that fewer people have ever ridden.

Solid Gold Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 Maverick with the Heartline Roll was only ridden by ONE person ever, if you're one of those "New Experience, New Ride" people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterville Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 I see where Robb is going with it being subjective. For example, many of you have listed the Stricker's Grove coasters as being 'rare credits'. I live in Cincinnati, and have now been to Strickers more times than I care to admit. So in my case, there is nothing special about those credits, in fact I have an invite to there on June 21. Decisions, decisions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoasterFanatic Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 Since I was curious I did a little bit of diggin through the CoasterFanatic database and found this .... Note: This is all based on CF Member RideList data Highest rated coasters that have been ridden by more than 5 (for accuracy) and no more than 40 people.

Emiroo Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 Maverick with the Heartline Roll was only ridden by ONE person ever. We have a winner! Nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alilstronger Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 I would consider a coaster rare that was only open for a very short period of time like Flashback or is rarely open. Also I would consider a coaster rare if there are only 1 or a few of its kinda in the world, like Leap The Dips (supposedly oldest coaster still running).

willh51 Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 This isn't super rare but I am glad to have ridden both sides of The Chiller with the heartline rolls and without OTSRs. Of course The Bat would be pretty rare, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Electerik Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 ^ She doesn't "rare." More like "well done." I'm with Robb: Way too subjective to mean much. /But I have been on Motorcycle Chase. //And Pteranodon Flyers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purplepills Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 I'd agree with those saying its too subjective, unless you start breaking it down, to something like 'Rare credits if you live in the US and don't travel much' and other ridiculous things. The likelihood is that for people posting on this board, rare credits are gonna be in places like Russia, Iraq, and anywhere else TPR trips don't tend to go (since these are probably the places people are most likely to visit when abroad anyway).

megamatt Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 I belive Bobsleds at the defunct Yokohama Dreamland is considered rare. http://www.rcdb.com/id2236.htm Yokohama Dreamland seems so much better than Yokohama Cosmoworld that replaced it. There Ferris Wheel was an exact copy of the Coney Island Wonder Wheel. Thats way more interesting to me than the "ferris clock". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Clinksalot Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 I think the ones I rode in the Philippines are probably pretty rare. I can't imagine anybody going to the Philippines JUST to ride the coasters, and I can't imagine that too many people who visit the Philippines really caring about riding the coasters there. Me ... I was just there for work, went to the mall and there was the park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixflagsguy5 Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 For North America parks I'd say that the hard to ride coasters are the 3 vu's, cliff's, waterville USA, Mexican Parks, and any of the parks in Canada excluding La Ronde, Canada's Wonderland, Marineland, and Playland.

astroworldfan1 Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 How many people got the credits at Sydney's Wonderland (now closed)? Those seem rare. -Tatum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluefire Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 How about the burnt down Scenic Railway at the now defunct Dreamland Park in Margate, UK? I'm wondering how many of the TPR members actually rode on it? It was a fun ride... built in 1920. www.rcdb.com/id875.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cathyJ Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 rare credit? Any coaster that is located in Cuba only because if you are an American one isn't allow to visit there even though I think that rule doesn't apply to members of the national press ( example..ABC News or CNN ) or someone in government circles. President Obama and his family or Katie Couric and her kids could visit those parks if they wanted too but chances are neither me or you can.
