Milestones in Your Counts

25 Taron
50 Untamed
--- Current situation 57 ---
100 should be F.L.Y. (and if I will not be able to travel much before that it'll be the Walibi Belgium Mega)
 
300: Pulsar, Walibi Belgium. See thoughts below from my trip report:

For Coaster 300, I headed to Pulsar. Fun, fairly unique design but ride experience dissapointing. Launches are good but ride has to slowly trundle though the empty splashdown twice after first launch, causing a noticeable pause in ride elements. Spikes and eventual splashdown fun though, riders (and nearby path) get decently wet from splash. Compared to Coaster 100 (Troy) and 200 (Nitro), this is definitely the weakest 100 milestone for me so far. Got a local to take photo of me with sign outside: (had to edit first picture as sign didn't come out in photo)

Doing parks in 25s these days as the ratio seems about right - I'm currently on 3.85 creds per park.

Numbers!
 
I’m at 316 at the moment. Gained over 130 new credits in 2019 while being the first time in North America. I hope to hit #400 at the end of 2020.

#250: Nitro - Six Flags Great Adventure
#300: Mine Blower - Fun Spot Kissimmee
 
300 - El Toro on Tuesday.

I was planning to make the Coney Island Cyclone my #300 on Sunday but the entire park was closed due to rain (still trying to get my money back from my pre-booked tickets), so instead I have a new #1 worst spite :(.

The day at SFGA really made up for it, I'm not going to write a full trip report but the park was open 5:30-11:00pm, all rides open, operations on point (2 train ops on all major coasters) meaning there were no queues, and 4+ hours of night time riding - overall an amazing day and +12 creds in all.

El Toro was fantastic - smoother than I was expecting, with bags of ejector airtime throughout. I love how the drops all dive through the structure giving some great head chopper moments. Needless to say it was even better in the dark, and we were allowed to stay on for multiple rides as there was no queue all day. Fantastic stuff, definite top 10 coaster for me, and new #1 woodie.

Congratulations @Peet! Glad to hear El Toro was good!

Haha we were walking round each outher, went to SFGA on sat and had a great day and toro is my number 2 now.

Then yea I went to coney on Sunday for my 300th on cyclone and yea it was closed, I went in the morning and was staying near by so I went again in the evening and the weather was nice, but yea they had closed due to the horrible mid day weather I guess.

Then I went to the dream mall and got spited again so yea, I feel the pain and hope u get your money back.

Ha so if it wasn't for the rain we would have both got our 300th on the same coaster on the same day - small world!
