jamesdillaman Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 ^ Depending on how fast the launch is, it could be even more... That's not even mentioning the fact that the ride on a sunny day is COMPLETELY different than when it's raining... -James Dillaman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Six Flags Enthuseast Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Biggest what? JJC? New S:TE?!?!?!? Yeah, I didn't think so. Maybe the new coaster at the Nurburgring that'll launch from 0-134.5 mph in 2.5 seconds? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two Tracks=Two Credits Fast Launch=Two More Credits Sunny Day=Two More Credits Rainy Day=Two More Credits Shuttle=Two More Credits So really, you can score up to ten credits on Superman The Escape.

coastercrazy216 Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 If it is a powered coaster its a JJ credit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shockwave Posted September 15, 2008 Author Share Posted September 15, 2008 ^Even more creepy when you look and see that he's wearing half of a prison jumpsuit! I rode this other month. Only got one credit though, because there's four different snails to ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kennyweird Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 The ultimate JJC? Look no further... Behold! It brings coaster whores to their knees. (I'm not even sure Jeff Johnson would call this a credit, maybe if he was desperate...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Six Flags Enthuseast Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 I know those things! They have those at a LOT of malls. They should update them to do TTD since it's CP coasters they feature. Imagine, to simulate the acceleration, it leans all the way back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thelegendarymatthew Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 ^The one in Great Wolf Lodge features Kennywood and Knobles(I can't spell that parks name right ) The ultimate JCC is not a little simulator. Its when you go on RCT3 or NoLimits. Then you make a ride and ride it. That's the ultimate JCC! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Six Flags Enthuseast Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 Can't disagree with that! And I even have both of those! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, those are still less powered than most JJCs Yeah, their virtual, but do you really count a virtual coaster as a credit in the least? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe_Spence Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 Hello all, this is my first post as a member or the Forums (as you may have surmised by the topic), I'm a lifelong, Die hard Coaster fan, and am a former Cedar Point employee (Wicked Twister 2005). My question is this...I've been seeing a lot in the Trip Reports and Various posts while I've been a lurker people talking about Credits. What exactly are Credits? Are there certain rules for how to gain credits? Thanks for clearing it up for a confused Noob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My question is this...I've been seeing a lot in the Trip Reports and Various posts while I've been a lurker people talking about Credits. What exactly are Credits? Are there certain rules for how to gain credits? Thanks for clearing it up for a confused Noob. A credit is just the de facto terminology that coaster nerds/geeks/dorks/enthusiasts use to keep track of the number of coasters they have ridden. The first time you rode Wicked Twister, you were credited with riding that coaster. If you ride 20 new coasters on a road trip, that's 20 new credits. People in the real world would say they rode 20 new coasters, but we call them credits. Edited May 24, 2010 by larrygator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vrf19977 Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 I keep seeing people talk about getting "credits" at various parks. How does this work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gutterflower Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 Hey Put simply a credit is a roller coaster. The more roller coasters you have ridden the more credits you have. Each coaster is only one credit so riding a coaster twice doesn't count as two. Some people accept powered coasters as credits while some don't (thats a whole other argument there ). Hope that helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
let1gre Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 Some people accept powered coasters as credits while some don't (thats a whole other argument there ). Along with Intamin hydro coasters too. It's up to you to decide what counts as a credit or not! A simple rule of thumb is something that has a lift hill and a waterless track (i.e. not a log flume, even though that has a lift hill and track).

davisal771 Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 I just say "anything that is gravity powered at some point = real coaster = credit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
