sros1fan Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 I only have been counting my rides on superman ride of steel at sfne and when it ran its last time before its transformation my count was at 1,075. I only have 12 rides on it as Bizarro so far since it opened on Media day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nay Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 I haven't kept count of the number of rides, but if I had to guess, I would say Expedition Everest. Certainly not the best coaster out there, I know, but for some reason I ended up riding it a lot the first year it opened. And it's still a fun ride, even with the broken yeti!

carolinacaniac Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 Do people really keep track of how many times they ride each coaster? I understand the idea of keep track or your credits but this may be a little overboard!!! Not everyone keeps track on how many times they ride a certain ride. I'm just that dorky when it comes to coasters At ert sessions with TPR on each run I hold a finger up on how many times I ride that coaster during the hour. After 10 runs I put it in my phone or if we have to walk around the entrance to get back on I just do it each time. Surprisingly being this organized with my coaster counting actually helps me keep organized in school. I even keep track of the theme parks I visit each year & the order I visit them with the date & I give a little summery of the day next. For example I go under my 2009 Amusement Park section & write: 6/12: Clementon Park: 1 coaster/3 runs. Then I will go to my 2009 Roller Coasters section, find HellCat, & write 3 tally marks. It is a routine after every trip I do. Here are some pics of my coaster binder I actually love to keep track as well like that, except I never did a very good job of tracking it down on a "per visit" basis unless it was a really good day, and I happen to remember it. What I do keep track of though are total rides for individual coasters, and the rides that year for the coasters. I am not sure why I chose to, but I also keep the wooden and steel coasters seperate when "ranking" them based on the number of rides. I also use Excel insted of a notebook. This is a fun way to pass some down time at home, especially to sit and watch how things change each visit, almost like a baseball player climbing up the all-time home run list. I believe I also always have had an interest in statistics as well. Anywho, my top ten (Both wood and steel combined) looks something like this: 1. Raptor: 92 2. Iron Dragon: 41 3. Griffon: 40 4. Apollo's Chariot: 38 5. Gemini: 36 T6. Millennium Force: 35 T6. Wicked Twister: 35 8. Mantis: 34 9. Blue Streak: 32 T10. Magnum XL 200: 31 T10. Mean Streak: 31 I have a hunch that my lists will look very different after the Texas Trip. -Gary T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpengeist04 Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 For me it would have to be Apollo's Chariot, Alpengeist, ROTM (USF), Dueling Dragons, Kumba, SheiKra, and Montu. ...But not necessarily in that order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike541x Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 I don't remember how many times in total, but last year I went to Kings Dominion, I rode Anaconda 12 times in a row while I was waiting for some friends to meet us at the soda machines near the exit. And I've been on the ride many times, seasons before that. Hopefully when I go to Busch Gardens thid Augest, I can break a new record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahecht Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 I don't actually count, but there are rides that I know every twist and turn of in my head because I've ridden them so many times. Those would include Califonia Screamin', DLR Space Mountain, DLR BTMRR, and SFNE's SRoS/Bizarro. There are other coasters I know really well because I got to marathon them, even if my lifetime totals aren't that high. Those would include X (yes, I was there on a day so empty that they were allowing multiple rerides on X), Kraken, Xcelerator, and USH's Mummy.

Medusa1861 Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 My highest Great American Scream Machine (Sfgadv) with approx. 75 2nd highest Nitro with 69 times. And that number IS accurate. I used coastercounter.com for that, i just estimated the amount of times i've been on GASM when i started it. Nothing else really comes close... Medusa is at approx. 54.

CorkscrewFoley Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 I don't really keep track on how many times i've ridden all coasters. I know a few of the counts on the one I have ridden multiple times. CCMine Ride-30 times (23 of them were done back in '92). Wicked Twister- 5 times Phantom's Revenge- 6 times Dominator- 5 times Villain- 5 times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cal1br3tto Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 I take counting seriously because it's fun for me! Here's my top 10 from CoasterCounter. I haven't been on any ride very many times...yet. 1. Giant Dipper -- 10 2. Medusa -- 7 2. Roar 2. Vertical Velocity 5. Hurricane -- 6 5. Ice Mountain Bobsled 7. Flight Deck --5 7. Vortex 7. Looping Thunder 7. Kong I could ride Giant Dipper at SCBB all day if it weren't for the distraction of the merry-go-round. I really want to go back and marathon it!

rcroques Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 Psyclone would be my number one... I rode that ride well over a thousand times (it did, however, help that I worked there.) Nothing else even comes close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the ghost Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 I don't know how many times I have ridden it, but I have marathoned California Screamin tons of times, I have never not gone on it when I go to the park unless it was a special event or one of my friends wasn't an ap or parkhopper ticket holder. Also, very rarely will I go to DCA with at least 2 rides, but that number has been a lot more, and Tower of Terror, because of the moment of ejector airtime.

Crazy_Behemoth_Lady_Jess Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 The old freaky airtime monster at PNE Playland known as Coaster. I work at Playland now and on my days off I always go there to ride Coaster. I was planning on marathoning it for awhile but never really got the time or chance. Probably will do so this year sometime though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Clinksalot Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 I don't really keep track, but I know I have 100+ rides on the following coasters. Space Mtn (Disneyland) may even be over 200 including the old and new track Big Thunder Mtn. (Disneyland) California Screamin' (DCA) Xcelerator (Knott's) Colossus (SFMM) Revolution (SFMM) Batman (SFMM) Ninja (SFMM) Gold Rusher (SFMM) Montezooma's Revenge (Knott's) Psyclone (SFMM - Mostly during it's first few years of operations, prior to 1994) Probably have 50+ on: Viper (SFMM) Goliath (SFMM) Superman: TE (SFMM) Ghostrider (Knott's) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montupoopc Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 The only ride I've kept track of is Manta, which is at 32. It's probably a lot for me. I'd say my most-ridden coaster is probably either Gwazi or Montu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LBIJim Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 Embarrassingly, the coaster I've ridden the most is Rolling Thunder at SFGAd. Probably over 300 times, the bulk of the rides during the 1980s when it was a decent but not great coaster. I'll still ride it once or twice a season. Second place is most likely the 35-year-old Runaway Mine Train, but Nitro is very close. As for out of my area coasters, the ones most ridden are Colossus and Revolution at SFMM, although I refuse to ride Revolution anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sue Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 We don't keep counts on everything we ride, but do count the coasters we ride most often. I don't have the exact counts in front of me, but our top 5 would be: Rolling Thunder at SFGAd - 3,300 Boulder Dash - 2,600 Montu - 600 Nitro - 500 Steel Force - 400 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skycoastin Steve Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 Rampage is my most ridden wooden coaster by far. I didn't keep track last year, but I estimate it was somewhere between 130-150 rides. My most ridden steel coaster is Intimidator, which at this point I've ridden 137 times. After that, Magnum and Millennium Force are both about in the 80s. Many other coasters at CP I've ridden in the 50-60 range. Afterburn I've ridden close to 70 times, and Nighthawk is close to 50 (just because of test rides while I worked there). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
