ricoh657 Posted May 30, 2007 Posted May 30, 2007 Found this site by accident when bored at work and been hooked since. Been a coaster fan for years, first was Corkscrew at Alton Towers in about 84. What I was wondering i can someone clarify the references to credits. I'm guessing its a credit for each coaster ridden? What if I ride a coaster more than once? What if a ride is coasterish? Such as Atlantis at Sea World, Orlando. Thanks for putting up with such a basic question and I look forward to meeting some of my fellow Brits at Camelot for the Media Day.
Carnage Posted May 30, 2007 Posted May 30, 2007 Credit refers to a coaster count, or the amount of unique coasters you've ridden. Each coaster is typically refered to as a "credit". There's not set rule to counting coasters. It's up to each person how they count. Some people won't count powered, some will, some won't count water coaters, etc. It's purely a personal thing.
WillMontu Posted May 30, 2007 Posted May 30, 2007 If your name is Jeff Johnson, you will count each seat as a credit Others will count dual tracked coasters as two credits Some count separate dual tracks (ie. WDW's Space Mountain) as two credits Many count dueling coasters as two credits (ie. Gwazi) Some count powered coasters as credits Some count water coasters as credits (ie. Journey to Atlantis) Most of us do count kiddie coasters as credits For more about credits, check out the Dictionary/Encyclopedia sticky in the Random forum. Don't forget that Joe has four credits!
imbordisux Posted May 30, 2007 Posted May 30, 2007 As someone who doesn't do the whole "credit" thing, I was curious as to how clones worked. Is it common practice to count every Boomerang separately, or does it just count as one credit? Judging by picture-captions, it would seem each one is separate, which seems kinda cheap. Personally, I think people should do two separate counts, one for total coasters ridden, and one for "unique" coasters ridden. But that's just me.
larrygator Posted May 30, 2007 Posted May 30, 2007 Has McDonalds really served billions, or the same 100 million people multiple times over?
Homer Posted May 30, 2007 Posted May 30, 2007 Boobs, that is all. And to second Will, Joe's is four credits!

shepp Posted June 1, 2007 Posted June 1, 2007 Has McDonalds really served billions, or the same 100 million people multiple times over? And is a second heart attack added as a separate credit?
Masked_Maverick Posted June 3, 2007 Posted June 3, 2007 Boobs, that is all. The only kind of credits worth counting .
