JamesMC Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 Forgot all about "High Roller" at Stratosphere......everyone I talked to said it was lame and therefore I always skipped it, but now since it's gone, I wish I would've (and I could've) gotten a credit on that.

ginzo Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 We intentionally skipped Nighthawk at Carowinds last month. I had been on two other Vekoma flyers and didn't feel like waiting 1+ hours to ride another one. I don't like flying coasters in general. And it was getting to be early evening and we still had a 400 mile drive ahead of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ernierocker Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 ^Now, you've got me curious. What happened? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XYZ Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 SFDK -Boomerang Coast to Coaster -Pandemonium -Roar -V2: Vertical Velocity Last Saturday had immense crowds, so I couldn't see the whole park because of 1+ hour waits on basically every ride. Though, I have a Six Flags season pass and I will return in a few weeks to get those credits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gisco Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 ^Now, you've got me curious. What happened? Matt has been to Magic Mountain several times and Ninja has been down and I believe he had all the other credits at the time. On the brite side, there is 3 more credits for him now!

Jew Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 I skipped eejanaika @ Fuji Q because I didn't feel like waiting 3 hours for an X clone. I also missed all the credits at Geauga Lake thanks to Cedar Point's awful rain policy. I needed an extra day to get the credits at CP instead of being able to head on over to Geauga Lake.

gisco Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 ^ I waited that 3 hour line for eejanaika. I was lucky because I had already been to the park before and all the credits but one. I'm not sure I would have waited if that had not been the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSum1_55 Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Not a credit, but I really wish I had ridden the flyers at Knoebels. For two reasons: 1. Almost everyone else in the group (around 30 people) thought they looked boring 2. We only had an hour to cover the whole park, so we never really had too much of a chance anyway. In fact, I could say the same thing for nearly everything at Knoebels! We literally arrived, got in the 3 credits, rode Phoenix twice, and left. I really wish I had more time to really feel the charm of this park! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cal1br3tto Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 ^I'd have to say you're right in regretting that, so hopefully you're planning to go back. I'll be honest, I think most flyers are boring, even including the ones at Indiana Beach (unlike some people, I behaved myself on the ride). But the Knoebels set kind of leaves me awestruck. Quite the bizarre little ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnyfingers Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 Traveled from Europe to New York and Connecticut this summer to stay with my girlfriend's sister and have a bit of a holiday. Had trips planned to SFNE, Lake Compounce and to Coney Island for the Cyclone. Unfortunately Hurricane Irene had other plans and made it to none of the parks. So a huge amount of missed credits, and I won't be back to the USA again for a few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnychen Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 Big Bend at SFoT. I was young and too scared to ride it. Wish I did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meteornotes Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Main one that pops into my mind is Shockwave at SFGAm. It was down all day the first time I was ever at the park, and they re-opened it just as we were leaving that night. We thought about riding it, but then thought "eh, we'll catch it the next time we're hear". And then it was removed. Ah well... dt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Clinksalot Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 I had to skip the kiddie coaster at SFA because the seat belt was too short for me. Not sure how that was possible considering some of the other people I saw on the ride that day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rctneil Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 My main missed coaster was is the SkyLoop at World Joyland. Apparently it only opened for an insanely short time and jsut so happened to miss it. Agh well. Not too worry. I also missed Rattlesnake and Runaway Train at Chessington the first time I was there as the park was extremely busy but finally gained those when I visited on the last day of their season a month for so ago. Super quiet day too which was great. Got a ton of rides in on Dragons' Fury and Vampire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCT3Bross Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 (edited) Rides I missed and are demolished: 1. Pegasus (Efteling). I was close by in 2008 as I could almost touch the ride. But after the Python we turned to a other section and we didn't return as my parents promised me back then. A while later I heard the ride was closed and not much later I received the news of the demolishing. Rides I missed and still having a chance to (Where operate at the last time of visit): 1. MP Xpress (Movie Park Germany). Quite silly that I didn't ride it. Just didn't want to ride one with inversions soon after Rock `n Rollercoaster. 2. Indiana Jones (Disneyland Paris). Fear of inversions back then. Remember having a argument with my dad about having a loop or not (Guess who won? ). 3. Space Mountain: Mission 2 (Disneyland Paris). The fear of Inversions. 4. Blue Tornado (Gardaland). Like the other three Gardaland rides: Fear of Inversions. 5. Magic Mountain (Gardaland). 6. Sequoia Adventure (Gardaland). I missed some other coasters at visits years back but made them all up by now. Edited December 18, 2012 by RCT3Bross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schotcher Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Maverick- My Dad convinced me that the ride probably wasn't worth an hour and a half wait. Biggest regret of my life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Recently, Mad Rats, Happy Valley Chengdu on the recent TPR China Tour. The thing had been closed all day. My little group had gotten the other credits, time had been extended at the park (by vote, of which we complied). but we had had enough, exited and did lunch at the nearby Pizza Hut. Then, the text came in, that the mouse was open! Unfortunately, since we exited, there was no re-entry at this (and some others) park. It's a thing with them. But awesome Robb was even willing to cover us again for entry to the park, if any of us wanted to get that credit. But we decided we'd had enough, thanked Robb and declined, and just chalked it up to "one to get in the future" LOL! Maybe in 2016? And THANKYOU again Robb, for offering to do that for us! Me in front of Mad Rats when it was (then) closed, PO'd in my Dippin' Dots, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RideofSteel Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 (edited) The mouse and spinner at Six Flags New England... Neither had more then a 2 car wait but we didn't ride. I really wish we did. Maybe this summer... Edited July 8, 2013 by RideofSteel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IronWolfman Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 I always skipped Spacely's Sproket Rocket at SFGAm, because it would have been weird for a teen to walk into the kids section. Instead, I went and marathoned the B&M stand up next to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azza29 Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 Eureka Mountain Mine Ride - too short at the time, next time I went it was closed for maintenance, and now it just sits there taunting me, SBNO. It's funny how these things go in cycles - back in the 80s when that part of Dreamworld was built everything was very heavily themed. Then for 10-20 years most new attractions had minimal (or crap) theming, and now they've just started to go big on the theming again with "Dreamworks land".

chickenbowl Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 Superman Ride of Steel - Six Flags Darien Lake in 2001 Left side if Thunder Road - Carowinds in 2012 They were unfortunately closed. I may have skipped on these few kiddie credits due to child policies or apathy. Compounce Kings dominion Cga Kings island Cedar point Oh well...
