I love having a train to myself, it's happened a few times to me.

 

California's Great America:

Gold Striker, Top Gun(CGA), Demon, Grizzly, Vortex, Psycho Mouse.

 

SFDK:

Roar, Boomerang, S:UF

 

How do those not have other people on the train. I can understand everything else listed but S:UF and Gold Striker are pretty new rides. And Gold Striker might as well be right inside the front gate did everyone say "Lets go ride the 20 year old B&M or 25+ year old demon!"

 

Gold Striker: Was the last person in line and was lucky enough to be right behind when they filled up the train in front of me. So I waited for the next one and had it all to myself.

 

S:UF: Was there on a dead day, got to the park early and was first in line and on the first train. The weather also scared most of the crowds away that day.

Kentucky Rumbler, and all the coasters at Indiana Beach

 

When I got in line for Tig'rr (well, there wasn't a line, it was just me), but a couple of kids walked into the station behind me. Then the ride op tried to tell this random person's 8-9 year old child to sit in my lap, and I was like "Umm, yeah hellz no, that's definitely not going to happen. If they want to ride together, they can wait all of 20 seconds for the next train."

I know for a fact I had Boulder Dash and Lightning Racer (lightning) to myself. I am pretty sure I had Wildcat and Zoomerang to myself at one point too.

 

I got BD to myself on the day of the oc Boulder Fest with insane weather, I can't believe they kept it open. It was absolute monsoon rain and there was no one else on the train for at least a half hour. Got 50 rides, employees let me get to 50 by letting me go two more times!

The closest to "alone" was Magnum XL-200 on a rainy day. I remember it was only a little girl, her dad, and me. This was also the first time I rode magnum or any coaster above 200 feet. I "sneaked" away from my family (i was 12 at the time) at the waterpark, re-entered CP and rode it. The biggest thing I rode up to that point was Raptor, so I was in for a HUGE surprise considering I never rode an airtime machine up to that point.

 

Call me a wimp but I am scared to leave the group I am with. The last time I was on a ride by myself was Mountain Slidewinder at Dollywood in May 2013. I was sitting in the lap of dirty, cussing, trailer trash, hillbilly kids, one of which who was rocking the log side to side when the ride OP's said not too...thank god I survived.

I know it's not a coaster but I have had a boat to myself on WDW's POTC.

 

Also at Kilimanjaro Safaris occasionally they would send us out to the ride path without stopping to pick up guests to keep the flow of vehicles moving. Driving through the reserve alone was definitely a magical moment for me. (Kinda creepy when Wilson would come in through the speakers though.)

My loneliest experience was probably on Nitro at SFGAdv. We started ERT over there then most of the group moved on to Green Lantern and Kingda Ka, so I got a lonely ride before I realized everyone else had left.

 

Other than that, I've ridden a ton of coasters in Japan by myself, since the smaller parks tend to be deserted when I visit.

 

Oh, and every Batflyer I've ever ridden.
