I have seen people post about credit whoring all over the boards. I have two questions.

1. What is credit whoring?

2. Am I a credit whore?

 

I have ridden:

15 of 16 coasters at Cedar Point (missing Jr. Gemini)

5 of 6 coasters at Michigan's Adventure (missing Big Dipper)

3 of 3 coasters at WDW Magic Kingdom

1 of 1 coaster at WDW MGM Studios

0 of 1 coasters at Animal Kingdom (missing Primeval Whirl)

1 of 2 coasters at Camp Snoopy (missing Timberline Twister)

That means I have ridden 25 coasters and hope to have ridden 35 coasters by Labor Day.

Credit Whoring is basically the act of riding ANYTHING to boost your total ride count/track record.

 

If you were a credit whore you would have:

 

Stolen a kid to ride Jr. Gemini

Rode both sides of Primeval Whirl and counted it as 2 coasters

 

// Primeval Whirl is definately 2 coasters. It even has 2 records in RCDB (A Rarity) due to it's independent structure.

I love Uncle Bernie's. That Jungle train ride had great common jungle animals to see like cows and deer!

Does credit whoring also entail the lengths you will go to to get a new credit?

 

For example who's heading to Nebraska to get the credit for their new coaster.

^Not really. I think it sums it up in saying...

 

credit whore (cred-it-hor); a coaster enthusiasts who will do strange things to increase their track records by numerous scenerios. ie. riding coasters normally not intended for adults, finding ways to ride coasters when the general public cannot, bribery, sexual favor, gun point, etc.

 

It's more about "How low will you go to get that credit?"

We offered a bribe to the Ops on the last day of Wonderland in order to get the last ride but they let us make sure we go it anyhow

 

Stupid Ops wouldn't take our hundred bucks to let us take another ride by ourselves though... not that bright a move when you consider they effectively lost their jobs that day when the park closed

I almost credit whored the Minor Mike at Celebration Station. I felt really dirty doing it. When I arrived, I took one look at the place and the coaster and said, "Hell, no!"

I tried to be a credit whore at Holiday World yesterday, but my 7 year old refused to ride "The Howler" because she wanted to go ride "big rides"

Credit Whoring counting racing coasters as 2, stealing kids to go on kiddie coasters and sacraficing your head at parks such as Parc Astreix and your krotch at parks such as Expoland to add credits to your credit list.

Is Credit Whoring a well paid job? (is it save and does it come with benefits?)

 

My doctor told me "Goofing" around is healty

Ok, guessing it's coasters only then?! So what would be one step lower than a credit whore? A credit ho?!
