- New Vekoma at Galaxyland 1 or 2? - 1
I'll double check this if I ever get to Edmonton and see what all the fuss is about but presumably not. I'll want to do all available options.
- Gold Rush at DMP (2 cycles on the same track) 1 or 2? - 1
Don't need to do all versions to count but wouldn't you anyway if coasters are a thing to you. 1 train op will hamper this on a busy day.
- Moebius coasters 1 or 2? - 1
Don't need to do both sides to count but wouldn't you anyway if coasters are a thing to you.
Side waffle: Who cares if they miss an inch of track like transfer or some bizarre edge case where you did X with the load & unload station not riding the few meters connecting the stations - but not when they started just using one section. Any track will do although hopefully I'm never in a situation where my only ride gets evaced on the lift hill. I theory I'd count a roll back if it was my only ever ride.
- Twin coasters 1 or 2? - 2
Stupid La Ronde will bell end guests being too busy to do both sides of Monstre, and
Colossus only running one train that day.
- Count clones as new creds? - Yes
This hardcore mode is too intense for me.
- Relocations count as new creds? - No
I was so pleased to find photographic evidence I've been on both wild mice at Bobbejaanland and then years later one is in
Madrid for my visit. Still (re)ride them.
If you moved the ride 3 feet to the left it clearly wouldn't be a new cred. Extrapolate from there. Plus following a travelling ride around the fair circuit and counting it in every location would become insane.
Exactly. Imagine counting Olympia Looping every time it went to Oktoberfest & Prater, then Munich Looping at each Winter Wonderland. There's literally only one existence of these. And that
dive machine in China being moved to potentially reset the 20 years bureaucratic tomfoolery.
- Re-tracks (eg Hulk, Nemesis etc) - No
I was going to but decided not to in April 2024. Because its made up in our heads I can make Reborn
and Hyperia the same milestone. There's also
Vol D'care at Asterix that doesn't get spoken about which could trip people up who didn't know. The triggers broom argument on wooden coasters to me is yes its the same coaster. A different day/month/year/decade can result in a totally different rider experience but they are all the same one in different moods.
Eurosat changed trains, theme and track at the same time but I don't think combining factors changes it.
- Major change eg. Top Thrill Dragster/2 - Yes
Has anyone ever questioned RMC conversions? Anything else is case by case - TT2 is different enough, so is Kennywoods
major course correction. Not for wooden coasters that had a drop mellowed out or
added an inversion (it is cool to see old track sections buried in the wooden supports). If that's minor then so was the
Mystery Mine tweak. Lightning Rod before and after the lift hill and wooden to steel track. All this
Titan Track being added.
RMC updating Intamin,
Premier Updating Arrow, Morgan completely changing Arrow.
- Disk-Os - No
I do like to add to coaster-count when reasonable.
- Alpine coasters (gravity) - Yes
Really want to do one with bunny hills without making the extra effort. All are valid.
- Powered alpine coasters eg. Tower Coaster - I suppose
Don't see myself needing to decide and wont be targeting one just to get a plus 1. Would like to happen across one to try it out.
- Bobsled/toboggan/SoRo alpine coasters - No
Even though powered, alpine or the trough bobsleds are acceptable, mashing all 3 is not allowed.
- Ridge Riders - No
A what now? The rail guided zip lines that = no?
- Ghost trains with drops eg Devil's Den - No
I did at first because its absurd so why not get technically bent out of shape. But when the joke is over, gum wall is too horrid and the switch are in a bare empty un-themed shed then nah. Some ghost trains have track like a big apple and I've been one one that coasted for a blink of an eye at the end.
Also
+ Different trains on the same track. Like a
stand up converted to floorless or the
Togo that changes at lunchtime. 1 for whatever you get
+ Compounding relocation then eventually
converting with a name change and snazzy paint job is still 1 and you don't need to have done all versions.
+ Again with the
go kart down a mountain road. I don't know, perhaps =rand() can decide this for me every time time I load my sheet.
+ The piddling different between a Mack water coaster that some websites count, and another Mack water coaster they don't. They all count, come on now, don't exclude coaster cause they are a little different. We all know the one Im talking about right, the one not on
this page.
+ If you count both the above 2, would you question a
Jinma chute ride. I feel like there is some inconsistency here.
+ Coasters that have a train or car backwards for a season like Batman and Swarm, or always like DC Rivals. Fury launching both forwards and backwards. Icon and ENSŌ / Steel Taipan. 1 whatever version(s) you've done.
+ Bayernkurves.
! Blackpool has so many question marks in one place. 3 independent track steeple chase; 100 year old wooden coasters; various trains that haven't always had lap bars; mobius; double whammy with a relocated clone. Even the pier next door got a replacement clone mouse that delivered the same experience as before. If you could tell me how they differed then you were not drinking enough on a night out in Blackpool which is the stock experience.
