chickenbowl Posted February 14, 2017 Author Posted February 14, 2017 ^ Definitely count the pre-conversions! If you've been on Mantis, you have the Rougarou credit already
Intaman Posted February 14, 2017 Posted February 14, 2017 54/101 (53%) among all B&M coasters worldwide and 51/62 (82%) among those in North America
PhantomNick Posted February 15, 2017 Posted February 15, 2017 Feels like it should be more but 19 out of the North American ones. After 2017 trips I'll have a bunch more. Â Hmmm, sounds like your 2017 trips are either to new parks or to parks with new B&M's.....at least your "philosophy of theme park visiting" is acceptable!! What, too soon?? I kiiiid, I kiiiiid!! Â I only have plans to go to 2, maybe 3 new-to-me parks this year. I did not pick them because of how many credits they have, they just look like awesome parks. I have no problem with either way of choosing what parks to visit. I just want to go to parks that look great, have good looking coasters, that friends have recommended, etc. Doesn't matter if they have a ton of credits or not. If people wanna go to parks for credits thats fine, if people wanna go to parks because they are new/different, rock on. The majority of my trips this year will be to parks I have been to and want to go back to because I like them for one reason or another. Â Sorry man, as apparently my attempt at a funny was misconstrued. No need to ever have to justify why you picked certain parks to visit. I actually 100% agree with your philosophy, which is why I continually visit places like CP, Knoebels, and Kennywood while sprinkling in newer parks from time to time (for instance, and you might approve of this, we are looking to return to Wildwood for a vacation this summer, and part of that will involve heading to Morey's.....not because of any "credits", but because the place is freaking great! Plus, I'm sure our daughter will love it, as they seem to have plenty of kids/family rides to suit her tastes! ). I'm definitely not of the mindset to constantly search out "new credits". I was simply and jokingly (I thought) bringing up that phrase that was used in the other thread, cause I too was left scratching my head by it. Oh well, joke fail!

My response was more an explanation to the group. And I got your message and responded FYI.
thrillseeker4552 Posted February 15, 2017 Posted February 15, 2017 19 B&M coasters, all in the US. 20 if you count Rougarou even though I've only been on Mantis.
NathP Posted February 15, 2017 Posted February 15, 2017 I've ridden 77 of 101 B&Ms, missing most of the Asian ones!
PixelRush Posted February 15, 2017 Posted February 15, 2017 Batman: the Dark Knight @ SFNE Bizarro @ SFGAdv Batman: the Ride @ SFGAdv Superman: Ultimate Flight @ SFGAdv Green Lantern @ SFGAdv Great Bear @ Hersheypark Valravn @ Cedar Point Raptor @ Cedar Point Rougarou @ Cedar Point Gatekeeper (#50!) @ Cedar Point = 10 B&Ms  I'll be adding Nitro on this summer.
LawlessBagel Posted February 16, 2017 Posted February 16, 2017 61/62 in north America. Â I haven't been to Worlds of Fun since 2003, so no Patriot for me. Also I can't say it will be anytime soon...well maybe 2018 depending what SDC is building.
ytterbiumanalyst Posted February 16, 2017 Posted February 16, 2017 ^ Yeah, I can't say Patriot is really worth a trip all the way out here, to be honest. Prowler is really good, though, so if you do visit SDC next year--and you should regardless of what the ride ends up being--I would say the trip to KC would be worth it more for Prowler than Patriot.
The Geek Mojo Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 I've been on 50 total...All inside the United States. All great rides too.
pryonisys Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 I am constantly surprised at how few I've actually ridden, all my counts are lower in reality than I thought in my head, I blame YouTube. I've ridden 9
AverageEnthusiast Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 I've ridden one (patriot at wof) Â I have so little experience
ytterbiumanalyst Posted February 21, 2017 Posted February 21, 2017 I've ridden one (patriot at wof)Â I have so little experience That's all right! Next step is to take a trip across the state and go ride Batman at Six Flags St. Louis. Then you'll see what a B&M invert can do!
Sportsdude360 Posted February 22, 2017 Posted February 22, 2017 All together I've ridden about 40 or so B&M's. Including all the BTR clones, SUF's, stand-up's, hyper's and floorless's at nearly every major park in the US.
Nrthwnd Posted February 25, 2017 Posted February 25, 2017 I just found another dive coaster I rode in China, and forgot about, back in the TPR 2012 China Tour! Â Â 22 out of 101 now! Woo Hoo!
Jew Posted February 25, 2017 Posted February 25, 2017 45. Been awhile since I've done a big coaster trip, so not many of the newer ones.
Schrecken Posted February 27, 2017 Posted February 27, 2017 I got 33 for US coasters (never ridden any coasters outside the US, unfortunately) at 53% so I've ridden a wee bit more than half of them.
OmnipotentSeal Posted February 28, 2017 Posted February 28, 2017 I got 3. Luckily, I'm going to several new parks this year so I'll be getting that number up!
Vtafro Posted February 28, 2017 Posted February 28, 2017 World: Score: 56 of 101 (55%) Rank: #30 of 179 users (top 17%) NA: Score: 55 of 62 (89%) Rank: #348 of 2,321 users (top 16%) Â Â Seems pretty much inline, should get some more both US and foreign B&Ms, maybe some of the will be fun...
