I know all of these, except those last 2 from dubaidave! However, I had heard of Thunder Mountain from a former "friend" who visited that region. He massively exaggerated it, though.

 

Edit: Okay, so here's my submission:

They don't even have pictures of it at the RCDB! It's an Ultratwister with a twist and dive replacing the transfer tracks!

 

Edit 2: I may not be the biggest credit whore, but I probably am the biggest coaster geek. Look what I found:

It's pictures of the aforementioned ultratwister! They were a real pain to find!

Okay, another one from the same site! Everbody knows about the Tobu Zoo looping wild mouse, right? Now how about a looping and corkscrewing wild mouse? Eh?

 

Here you go:

I'm not sure if well-known standard models like Monster Mouse and Little Dipper really count, even if they are unknown installations.

 

 

Why?, they ARE credits, and really the only other coasters in the state, and are VERY unknown

 

 

The NM Rattler is pretty well known, so there is no reason to post that

I don't count clones as credits, myself, so that's debatable.

 

However, what I meant is that while people may not know about them, they really aren't very interesting to see. Things like that crazy Intamin multilooper in the middle of nowhere are really interesting to look at, because they're things you've never seen before. A Little Dipper, though, is something everybody's seen, even if it isn't that exact Little Dipper.

Ice Mountain Bobsled at Enchanted Forest in OR. It was built in house and totally rocks!

Think of it as a budget matterhorn. I've actually got an old hi-8 POV of this somewhere.

 

The rest of the park is pretty cool too. They actually made a haunted mansion walkthrough that looks pretty good from the outside.
