The only ones that I intentionally missed were:

 

Wild & Wooly Toboggan at Little Amerricka-We were there with the ACE Con and the line was insanely long with many breakdowns. Plus, it felt like 110 degrees and the line was in the sun. No thanks, especially since I hate those rides to begin with.

 

Vampire at Chessington-The park was mobbed with school kids and we had limited time. We only had time to ride one coaster so we choose Rattlesnake since the line was a bit shorter.

 

The hardest coaster to get otherwise has been Boomerang at Wild Adventures. Every time we've been to Wild Adventures, it's always closed for maintenance.

During my one and only visit to BGA (July 2002), I missed riding Gwazi because it was closed. Out of my control.

 

I did ride Montu, Scorpion, and the now-defunct Python. Montu was Diana's first inverted coaster and I have quite a blackmail picture of her in the front row. Out of respect, though, I'll keep it off of here.

 

Kumba was running just fine, and Kevin (one of the kids in our group) went over to ride it. I could have, but decided that I'd ride it later on. Kevin came back later and said that he'd ridden it four times. A bit later, I wanted to go get in line, only to see that there was a train stuck about two-thirds of the way up the lift. My first thought: "Uh oh..." But that train was gone in few minutes later, so I figured it was just a glitch and all was well...till another train got stuck there.

 

I went over to get in line anyway, only to learn that Kumba was closed for the rest of the day. So, no Kumba credit for me. But now that BGA has SheiKra, I want to get back there anyway, so I'll get my Kumba, Gwazi, Cheetah Chase, and SheiKra credits after all.

my biggest regret was missing Drachen Fire. I was there in its last season and had just started liking roller coasters. Tragically, I didn't like them enough at the time I guess...and no one wanted to ride it with me. Two years later when we came back, it was officially SBNO. I also missed Manhattan Express and High Roller when I was in Las Vegas in 1997. ME was closed and we never got down to the Stratosphere.

I never got Big Dipper or Head Spin at Geauga Lake. I went to the park twice, once was for Physics Day with my junior high school, so I only got like 3 credits that day, and the 2nd time was with my ex girlfriend, who didn't feel like staying for more than a couple hours. I also never got Beaver Land Mine Ride because I never went there with my family, and I'm not a big enough credit whore to ride a kiddie coaster without a kid.

 

I was PLANNING on going to GL with my family in 2008 to pick up my last couple credits...that obviously didn't go according to plan.

I finally got 2 Las Vegas credits this past week, Manhattan Express and Speed: The Ride. I already had Canyon Blaster, and I never got High Roller. I'm not enough of a whore to get the kiddie ones. However, I think Southern Nevada's best is still Desperado, a credit I already had, but we rode it 4 times...the others just once each.

I've decided to kind of whore it up this year whenever I get the chance to hit a park. I have yet to ride Woodstock at Dorney, and I have been to the park about 60 times since it was installed. I will also have to hit up Trailblazer and Wild Mouse at Hersheypark, since I have skipped them every time that I have been to the park. I have also skipped some kidde credits that I could have gotten on like Poison Ivy at SFNE. I have also passed up parks like Bowcraft and Blue Diamond while in town, which I don't think I will pass up again.

Top Thrill Dragster. It was getting close to the park's closing time, I hadn't ridden it yet, and I didn't feel like waiting two hours for a 15-second ride. So I headed over to MF again instead and ended up waiting two and a half hours for a 90-second ride. It was a win-win situation.

I have two...

 

Ultra Twister - I missed the chance of riding UltraTwister at Astroworld. I was 16 that time and was with my friend's family. They absolutely refused to let me ride it because it had 45 minutes wait. I look back to that day and I deeply regret not riding it.

 

Hypersonic XLC - That $@$# Hypersonic XLC!!! I was in the line for two hours in a blistering heat. There was too many gangsters and trailer trashes and eventually park security and police had to deal with them. Eventually they have had it and closed the ride and kicked them out including us. Aggravating, which we vow never to visit that park for a good while.
