You said rides, not coasters. There are 64 coasters (65 if you count Mammut as well, Gerstlauer has it on their website), 3 ferris wheels, 24 flat rides and 2 monorails of sorts.

 

[GuyWithAStick]

^Fair enough. I was looking for 64. Should've specified a bit more.

What was the name of the first full train suspended coaster (discounting those silly one car suspended coasters from early 20th Century) and where did it operate?

 

[GuyWithAStick]

Alpenflug at Oktoberfest 1975. It was scrapped due to excessive stress the trains put on the structure due to the fact that the turns were unbanked.

 

[TilenB]

^ Sorry for not giving the thumbs up earlier. You're correct, so you can continue.

 

[GuyWithAStick]

Forgot this existed lol.

How many racing coasters are currently operating?

 

[Ireeb]

70

 

[GuyWithAStick]

Nope.

By the way, shuttle coasters do NOT count.

 

[Ireeb]

How exact are we about the term "racing" here? Only coasters that have a almost parallel layout, or also coasters with two different layouts that meet at some points? What about moebius like Twisted Colossus?

 

[GuyWithAStick]

You know what, new question;

How many non-prefab wooden coasters did Intamin make?

 

[Ireeb]

5 + 2 x American Eagle (So 6 or 7 depending on whether you count American Eagle as one or two)

 

[GuyWithAStick]

Nope.

Hint: I said made, not operating.
