Most Obscure Coaster you've ridden

Peet said:
I made a brave effort to bag a seriously obscure cred yesterday - Montanha da Leba at Parque Ulengo in Angola (1 rider on coaster count). Unfortunately the whole park was closed; from what we could gather it only opens for special occasions and pre-booked large groups at the moment. Hopefully it will return to normal operations at some point.

The cred looks to me like a Beijing Shibaolai Amusement Equipment "Single loop double spiral" coaster, although rcdb doesn't list a manufacturer.
I expect I'll be back in Angola soon enough (it's work not pleasure!) to try again.

Got it!

Parque Ulengo, Luanda, Angola

I'm currently on my 9th visit to Angola and I have finally managed to bag a cred here! Parque Ulengo is on the outskirts of the capital city of Luanda; it has one major coaster and one kiddie cred. I attempted to visit with a colleague on a Saturday last October but found the park closed. Since...

Probably Cliffhanger at Blackgang Chine. Only rode it once or twice on a school trip about ten years ago. Ironically I now live about 30 minutes away from the park on but haven't been back, although I did pass it on the bus the other day. They've repainted it a sort of rust-brown colour. I miss the horrible shade of green it used to be.

On an extreme technicality it's probably not as rare as some random mine-train-y kiddie creds on the UK travelling circuit, but I don't remember what those were called or even consider them part of my count really, lol.

EDIT: Never mind, boredom prevailed and I found the travelling mine train on CC as you do. John Woodward's Wild West Mine Train. Good times.

I think it’s safe to say that just about everyone here has ridden that one but we just didn’t bother to check it on coaster-count as it’s too obvious.
 
According to coaster-count, my most rare coaster is the (older, now gone) rakevet harim at luna park in tel aviv, israel, with 3-5 riders, which was some pinfari model. I've also got the anaconda and kumba credits in israel, which seem a bit rare too.

I've also got the old go-gater from loudon castle in scotland from when I was five, although I don't usually count powered coasters. I actually miss that park- m&d's has nothing on it.

I did some wandering around Shenzen last time I was there, so I also have one of those city-park credits: outer space flying car. I found a couple parks when I was there but only one with an operating coaster unfortunately.

Other than that, the chimelong ocean kingdom rides seem to have relatively low ridership.

Nothing like angola though! Although when I was in sri lanka, my bus passed a couple unknown kiddy coaster creds but I never went back to check them out (could have been exciting) but I'm not enough of a goon I guess.
 
I guess I could update this now. Last time I had this:

If we take rare to mean "ridden by fewest number of people" I'm the only person registered with CoasterCount to have ridden Dragon Coaster in Kathmandu.

Some proof, for what it's worth:

Looking beardy after a few weeks in the mountains, too!

Got a couple of others in the 20 riders or fewer according to CoasterCount:

Loop Coaster - SkyRanch Pampanga - 5 riders
Dream Coaster - SkyRanch Pampanga - 5 riders
Star Flyer - Star City Manila - 13 riders
Jungle Coaster - Chakazoolu Indoor Theme Park - 10 riders (I'm surprised by this, thought this was super basic by now!)
Jungle Trailblazer - Oriental Heritage Wuhu - 14 riders (again, surprised by this...)
Wacky Worm - Star City Manila - 13 riders
Dragon Express - Star City Manila - 13 riders

Four other buggers have been to Kathmandu now, so that's gone from the top of the list. But, mercifully, I've got to another one now.

I know the feeling. Since I last posted in this thread I've now lost rare points despite gaining 370 creds.
Nothing is sacred any more.

Funnily enough my rarest now is the one I just discovered/added myself...
 
I know we were like, the second riders on Corgi Dog at Fantawild Wuhu earlier in the year, so that must be up there!

For major coasters I feel like Heaven’s Wing at HB World is fairly obscure? The most obscure coaster people actually give a **** about is probably Soaring With Dragon?
