Milestones in Your Counts

[Ben]

Got 800 today on Tempesto.

It was dreadful.

 

[caffeine_demon]

My 500 was (wait for it) - The volare at coney island! Just as unremarkable as the previous few milestones!!

Yay!

 

[valleyfair!]

Hit 250 this last week. It was Swamp Thing at Wild Adventures.

150: Road Runner Express, Six Fags Magic Mountain

But I thought you liked SFMM...

Creeping to 500 pretty fast I see

Because I have a low coaster count, I'll just do every 25. I know they aren't true milestones

1 - Bob (Efteling)
25 - Matterhorn Blitz (Europa Park)
50 - Formule X (Drievliet)
75 - Vleermuis Left (Plopsaland de Panne)
100 - Baron 1898 (Efteling)

Counting every 25th coaster as a milestone is fine when your count is around 100, but you'll be dropping that habit as you count continues to increase. I did the same until I hit 50 and then only counted every 50 as a milestone until 300 and then every 100 after that. :wink:

 

[ThomVD]

Yeah, I like to be able to list at least about four of them. So when I hit 200, I can just count every 50th. And then when I hit 400 I can do every 100th. And when I hit 4000 I will count every 1000th :wink:

 

[Jordanovichy]

But surely 250 and 750 are big milestones too...? I'd say that 3/4 of a thousand is a bigger 'milestone' in a way than 800 is.

150: Road Runner Express, Six Fags Magic Mountain

I don't like SFMM, I love SFMM :wink:

The reason it's RRE is because we visited SFMM at both the beginning and end of the trip; I rode it at the end and it just happened to be my 150.

 

[ThomVD]

^ I think he was aiming at your typo with "Six FAGS"

^^ Yeah, I'll probably count 250 and 750 as exclusive special milestones.

 

[ATTACKHAMMER]

My 200th was this monster:

Bassotto at Fantasiland

Oh I thought he was commenting on the fact I'd chosen a crappy milestone. Didn't notice the typo, ha! I'll fix it.

 

[JoshC.]

Low count also, but here's a couple of milestones to get me started...

1 - The Flying Fish (Thorpe Park)
25 - Shockwave (Drayton Manor)
50 - Baron 1898 (Efteling)

 

[Gavin]

1000: Millennium (Fantasy Island)

No, it wasn't planned.Well, it obviously was once I was at the park and realised, but I didn't know that number 1,000 was going to be at that park until we were on the way there. If we'd have been allowed on some kiddy crap at Pleasure Island, then it would have been something else.

 

[DelPiero]

Congratulations Gavin!

 

[Rachel]

100 - Supersplash at Plopsaland

150 - Runaway Train @ Bottons Pleasure Beach

Since my count is still fairly low i'm counting the 50's. :lol:

 

[Pink Cadillac]

After extensive research into my days out when I was a child, I worked out my coaster count and this was #100:

 

[Nemesis Inferno]

#450 Caterpillar - Hemsby 'Fun' Park

I still count every 50 as something notable...

 

[10WaTT]

Krake at Heide Park is my 400th.
