What are the Coasters you have Ridden Most?

[DarienLaker]

Back in 1997 I rode Chaos at Opryland seven times.

[Schrecken]

The only coaster I ever bothered to keep count of ride times was on Goliath at SFMM - I figured I had ridden it at least 98 times (including 32 times in one day) over a period of a couple of years. Otherwise, I figure I've ridden coasters I like at parks I get to on a fairly regular basis probably a few dozen times, like at CP and KD.

I am now keeping track of my rides on Skyrush this year, so far I'm at 13 total and I hope to marathon on it at least one more time before the year's end.

[Angry_Gumball]

Now that I've began counting laps, I can easily say I've ridden Gold Striker the most...with a total of 86 laps and counting. I'm sure Flight Deck (CGA) is right behind, count-wise.

[cal1br3tto]

Thankfully I've decided to stop counting laps, even though occasionally it can be interesting to look back and see how my number of laps influenced my opinion of a coaster, or make comparisons. Oh well, it's a small part of life after all.

 

That said, there's no way the answer isn't El Toro. Phoenix is probably still the runner-up.

[A.J.]

Phoenix is probably still the runner-up.

I approve. I've lost count of how many times in total that I've ridden that coaster, although the most I've ever ridden it in a single day is twenty laps.

[cmullin]

I rode Behemoth 87 times...in one day and that's it. I have a lot of laps on the Demon, Flight Deck, and Pyshco Mouse at CGA. I don't really count that kind of thing.

[DanM64]

I used to do 15-20 laps a day on Shockwave at SFGAm before its demise. I have no idea how many total rides I got on it, though it had to be somewhere between 400-500! Maybe that's why I am the way I am now? The red train was the smoothest, and the blue was usually smooth, too. I avoided the yellow train if possible.

[BigDipper 80]

My most-ridden coasters (in no particular order) are probably Mantis, Magnum, and Diamondback. I never really bothered to keep track, but those three easily have had the most rides, with Diamondback most likely trailing behind the other two.

[daniellazarus]

Iron Rattler 78 times this year and planning on 6 more visits to SFFT this year

Great White at SeaWorld

Original Rattler at SFFT

Shock Wave at SFOT

Viper at SFAW

[XYZ]

I'm not so sure, though the coaster I rode the most is probably Flight Deck (CGA) or Dragon (LEGOLAND California).

[rcjp]

Definitely Superman at Parque Warner Madrid, probably followed by Raptor at CP.

[tororific]

Probably the Demon at PGA in Santa Clara, just because i went to that park so many times as a kid. Maybe Tidal Wave?

[rolercstrluvr]

I'd have to say Gold Striker at CGA, 206 times to be exact. Next could probably be any other coaster there, most likely Top Gun/Flight Deck.

 

I also just calculated that the distance i've traveled on Gold Striker and the answer is.....124.7 miles.

I'm not sure of a specific count but its definitely the beast and the count has to be in the hundreds.

[alwaysairtime14]

Dragon Coaster (Rye Playland)

About 75 rides (17 in one day)

 

Bizarro (SFNE)

About 45 rides

 

Mad Mouse* (Quassy)

About 20 rides

[GayCoasterGuy]

Demon, American Eagle, Whizzer (my home park!), Blue Streak (CP - when it was still a classic; worked on it for 2 years), Kennywood Thunderbolt, Legend at Holiday World, Mind Bender SFOG...

 

and my record for most rides in one day was 64 on Screechin' Eagle:

 

 

It was 1989, I was like... 15, and obviously crazy. I loved every minute of it. No seatbelts, no headrests, none of that junk. Just one cranky old kick-ass John Miller ride with 2 drops that tried to throw you out. It was heaven!

 

This was the killer drop:

 

It doesn't look like much, but the tail end of that 3 bench car cranked right over!

 

the drop after this one was nearly as wild

[Sir Clinksalot]

Considering I've visited SFMM 40 times in the past 2 years, and I try to ride Colossus at least once on every visit (because who knows if it's leaving) I'd say I'm easily over 300 rides on it by now. Could even be closer to 400.

[Ed Farmer]

I typically lose track of how many times I've ridden any given coaster after about the fourth or fifth time. It would probably end up being one of either Shockwave (SFGAm), Raging Bull, Batman The Ride, or Kumba. If we're taking into account the numerous clones that grace the park they're in, Batman The Ride(s) wins handily. I'll take multiple laps on this ride anytime I cross paths with it despite having the original 45 short minutes from me at my home park.

[Top Thrill Dragster]

I don't keep count of how many times I've been on particular a ride(s), but I know I've been on these rides well over 100 times:

 

- Xcelerator at Knotts

- California Screamin at DCA

- Space Mountain at Disneyland

- X2 at Magic Mountain

- Revenge of The Mummy at Universal Studios Hollywood

[Sharon29060]

X-Flight: 80 times

Ragin' Cajun: 15 times

American Eagle: 16 times

Batman: The Ride: 10 times

[kailisun98]

Flight Deck @ CGA 15 times at once. Total laps: 52 times

Diving coaster @ OCT Shanghai 21 laps total

Mountain Peak @Jinjiang Action park. Cost me a fortune but I have accumulated over 26 laps total

Batman@ SFMM 42 laps total

[cmullin]

Probably Behemoth at CW, only because of Coasting for Kids, I don't even live in Canada! I rode it around 90 times in a 2 day visit to the park.

[Meteornotes]

I'm going to guess it's either The Comet or SDL at Hersheypark.

[cwgator]

I haven't kept count, but I would have to say my top three would be Montu, Kraken and Kumba.
