Why do kiddie coaster credits matter to you?

[Invertalon]

They don't matter to me at all. Nor do normal credits. I ride what appeals to me, so I commonly skip almost any boomerang, SLC, kiddy coaster, etc... I would probably have 15-20 more credits if I did not skip so many rides lol

[Hilltopper39]

Unless it's a walk-on situation, I simply don't care enough to ride them.

 

This. I'll never wait for a kiddie credit unless it's unique. I'd much rather spend time waiting for major attractions especially if it's a new park for me.

[Barge84]

They've never mattered to me. I'm more of the quality over quantity type. I've even started skipping boomerangs, wild mice and mine trains, depending on the situation.

Because I have no shame.

The credit doesn't matter to me, but I won't skip a ride just because it's in the "kiddie" category. Kozmo's Kurves and any Flying Scooters are great, even though they're aimed at a younger audience.

I usually don't care for them, but they are amazingly fun on TPR trips when you do a takeover with a bunch of adults.

I ride "kiddie" coasters cause you can't judge a coaster by it's size. Whizzer at Great America is amazing and Millennium Force is boring. I'd ride Little Dipper here at GAm 200x than go on Mean Streak ever again.

 

 

You can't say a ride is boring/bad unless you've been on it.

 

This guy said the exact reason I ride kiddie coasters.

I've found that Woodstock Express at Canada's Wonderland has some airtime, yes, I'm pathetic.

[PKI Jizzman]

Because people want to have massive coaster dic....I mean coaster counts?

 

 

Unless it's a TPR take over where it's goofy and fun, I'd rather re-ride the better ride in the park instead.

When I've done trips with my ex-fiance, I managed to get her really into counting credits as well (it was in her competitive nature), so hitting up the kiddie coasters was a lot more fun since we'd do them together. My new girlfriend thinks my hobby is really cool, and we've incorporated parks on our recent trip (Lake Compounce, SFNE), but she's not into counting credits, so when I hit up the Great Chase at SFNE, I had to do it all by my lonesome .It's definitely a lot less fun doing it by youself and getting weird looks from parents. I don't think I'm going to really go after them unless I'm with a large group of enthusiasts or there's absolutely no line. I'd like to have the credits, but not THAT badly.

People ask why I ride the kid coasters, I say why not. Though I would never borrow someone's kid, if the ride required it. ...Unless it's family of course.

I won't go out of my way for kiddie credits but if I'm by myself or with enthusiasts and the line is short I'll ride them. It honestly allows for funny stories and memories in the right environment.

 

The last 2 I rode me and my friends had the first one to ourselves and the latter coaster had me and my friend trying to fit in the same car at over 6'0 each. Our legs took a beating on the turns but it was one of the most laughable moments of the day.
