DanM64 Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 I missed Batman Knight Flight at what was Six Flags Ohio at the time. I had just sat down in the train when it broke down just before closing (the floor wouldn't drop). I never made it back to the park l, which later closed as Geauga Lake. When I get to KD for the first time at least I'll be able to get the credit as Dominator! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perilous Chris Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 (edited) I missed three coasters on my most recent trip, because they were closed. While I did not lose sleep over these, I was slightly bummed as these parks will not be easy to get back to for awhile.  Seabreeze: Bobsleds  Idlewild Park: Wild Mouse  Lakemont Park: Leap The Dips  Last year, I missed White Lightning at Lake Winnie, because it was closed as well.  I'm starting to think mice just do not like me.

Jew Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 (edited) I slept in during some of the credit whoring days on previous TPR trips in China and on the Oktoberfest one. Edited July 10, 2013 by Jew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angle O. Descent Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 I've skipped wild mouse rides at four different parks this year alone, the other rides were just better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyber.Fiber Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 Canada's Wonderland - Time Warp - Vortex   AGHHH! You skipped Vortex? Line always looks long, but ends up being a 30 minute wait or less. Definitely one of the top 3 rides at the park! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thrillseeker4552 Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 On my 2012 trip to Cedar Point, we missed Woodstock's Express and Jr. Gemini. We didn't know if we had to be with a child or what, but we just chose to ignore them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angle O. Descent Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Canada's Wonderland - Time Warp - Vortex   AGHHH! You skipped Vortex? Line always looks long, but ends up being a 30 minute wait or less. Definitely one of the top 3 rides at the park!  I'll second that, Vortex is a must ride for Wonderland visitors. It's especially a real treat on a foggy night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
805Andrew Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Kiddie coasters at various parks such as SFMM, Knott's, etc. The way I look at it is why waste my time waiting to go on one of these just to add one to the count when they are so many adult sized coasters and other rides to ride first. It's not like I'm going to beat (or even come close) to Robb and Elissa's count anyway. If I was at a park that had very few things to do, I would probably ride a kiddie coaster but I don't really go to those type of parks or credit whore stops. If I was on a TPR trip though, I would gladly go on the kiddie coasters with a train full of adult TPR members as its more about the silly experience than the count.

Angle O. Descent Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 ^I wouldn't worry about kiddie coaster credits, I've found that most parks wont let you on a kiddie coaster without a child with you. But then again I have no children so my view may be biased Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
805Andrew Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 ^ I don't worry about kiddie credits. I said I don't really care about them. I don't have kids either. I'm sure when I have kids in the future, I'll be riding the kiddie coasters with them, but only until they are tall enough to ride the adult coasters.

Angle O. Descent Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 ^ Oh for sure! Once I have kids I'll be all over the kiddie coasters too But in the meantime, yeah, I prefer quality over quantity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eaglefan9727 Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 The stand up coaster that I believe was called Shockwave at Six Flags Magic Mountain back in the 1980's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmullin Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Do you guys count racers as one or two credits if you went on both sides. Personally I count it as one, but does anyone count it as two? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stingrock23 Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Both Mean Streak and Blue Streak at cedar point. Just had no desire to ride either one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astat Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Head Spin/Big Dipper at Geauga Lake (and I guess Beaver Land Mine Ride too, not sure if I would've actually bothered riding it). There are a few other kiddie coasters I've passed on at various parks too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bottom_feeder_13 Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Do you guys count racers as one or two credits if you went on both sides. Personally I count it as one, but does anyone count it as two? I personally count them as two unless they are möbius and then each side is only half a credit.
