larrygator Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 I'll have to go with waiting an hour for a random Mexican kid (Mauricio) at Parque Bicentennial while with TPR to ride a Jungle Mouse.

Aceattack52 Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 For my own sake, I don't count anything under 25 MPH as a credit. It's called quality control. If someone has 1,000 credits but they're all from wacky worms, I don't think that should count. Hold on, let me ask the committee for a ruling. ... Nope, the committee says no.

GwaziBSRider1 Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 I'll have to go with waiting an hour for a random Mexican kid (Mauricio) at Parque Bicentennial while with TPR to ride a Jungle Mouse. Thanks to last minute quick thinking of Elissa! You took the words out of my mouth! Except, I don't remember the name of my "Mexican child bride" as my friends called her. I also drove 500 miles for the Wacky Worm (called Yoppin') at the North Georgia State Fair (at least that's what I told the ride ops), and I talked my way onto the Dragon Wagon at Funtown Pier a few months before Hurricane Sandy destroyed the park.

gerstlaueringvar Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 Little Dipper at SFGAm Kiddie Koaster at SFFT Meteor at Little Amerrica Mini Mine Train at SFOT Jr. Gemini at CP ... Love TPR tour! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rollercoaster Rider Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 Drove from SFGAm to Kokomo's to Jeepers to a closed Jeepers and back home in a 2 Day Weekend. A Good 500+ Miles for 2 Coasters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sspaz1000 Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 Tried to get on the kiddie coaster at King's Dominion but was denied. (Though in my defense, the lady at the front gates of the park measured me and said I was an inch under the 60 inches, got there, and the guy was like nope no way even though I was still under the height limit). Crazy thing this past labor day weekend, I started out, at Camelback in Pa for the mountain coaster, drove a couple hours to Bowcraft for the Crossbow, then another hour or so with traffic to Funplex in Mount Laurel, and then I braved Clementon, only to find out that Hellcat was closed. (blessing in disguise because Flying Turns at Knoebels ended up being magic 250 different coasters ridden for me ). So I ended up driving like 8 hours for 3 coasters.

PeoplemoverMatt Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 Taxi Driver @ California's Great America. Asked some random kid if he wanted to go again as long I rode with him. Not a very proud moment... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Cool Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 I would have to say trying to get the kiddie credit at Carowinds. We definitely failed too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreeFaller Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 I drove 3 hours ONE WAY (bus and train) to get ONE credit (an alpine coaster). It was during a holiday, but now while I'm thinking about it, it is totally CRAZY! I'm too credit whorish! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GwaziBSRider1 Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 ^ Gotta love those Mini Mice! I hit up the one at Fun Fore All in PA last year, and actually had to track down an employee to run it for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VinTheAttendant Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 Probably getting Dragon Coaster at Atlantic Beach Park. While it's only 25 minutes from a spot in Mystic, CT I always visit, it's still about 2 hours away from my hometown. And really, the only reason I wanted to ride it was to get the claim that I've ridden the only operating coaster in Rhode Island (and to get the credit of course ) I've also waited in a 15 minute line at a fair for a dragon wagon (been to the fair many times, and the dragon wagon was new this year), waited out a broken down Ghoster Coaster, and rode both Wacky Worms at Star City.

Werner Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 My most creditwhorish are my pre and after trips when i'm going on a TPR trip. The 2 week Texas-midwest turned into a 4 week trip from Atlanta-Houston-San Antonio(TPR) -> Cleveland-Buffalo-Toronto-Buffalo. And it could have been longen if i had the money and time...

ArizonaGuy Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 (edited) I asked a complete stranger if I could borrow her child to get the Jr. Gemini credit at Cedar Point.

Vtafro Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Thanks to KT and Elissa, riding Jr gemini… (un)fortunately there is some proof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angle O. Descent Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 I was on my way to Martin's Fantasy Island, and got turned around at the border for having my friend's stuff in my car. I backtracked, got a campground for a day, set up my tent, emptied my car into it, went back to the border, and got across... all for two roller coasters. Never credit whoring again!

rolercstrluvr Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Thanks to KT and Elissa, I believe at Bay Area Bash 2010 we rode SFDK's kiddie coaster (road runner express?). There was about 10 other adults doing a clench and squish into each car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoshiFan Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 I have ridden a bunch of kiddie coasters, sometimes as solo rider. That's not too bad I guess since they have been coasters that don't have a maximum height requirement. I need every credit I can get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Linn Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Riding Dragon Coaster and Woodstock Express at Dorney by myself. I was only like 13 at the time, but still pretty bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerstlaueringvar Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 I think basically going on both sides of a racing coaster is pretty credit whorish. But it's completely different when it comes to a dueling coaster. Waiting half an hour for Little Dipper at SFGAm is also pretty bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rctneil Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 The ones that come to mind are: I drove to New Southport Pleasureland a month or two ago only knowing about the Spinner and the Wildcat, both ended up being down so I found 3 others, a Go Gator, a Wacky Worm and a Grand Canyon so I rode those instead. All the kiddie coasters on the China trips! There were a lot of Sliding Dragons there. Also, getting on the kiddie coasters at CGA, Worlds of Fun and Knotts! oh and driving two hours in Cyprus to ride a Blizzard! Had no idea if it was still there, operating or anything, just got up that day and decided to go. Was a beautiful drive along the coast though so even if it had been closed I wouldn't have minded.
