What has been your most successful year as an enthusiast?

This year... by one credit.
I got 80 new coasters in 2018 but thanks to Hyperia earlier this week my total for this year is now 81, so boom to that!
Not surprisingly, 2018 and 2024 featured big US road trips, which is always a good boost for the cred count.

I'll have to say 1999. I discovered internet forums, so I wanted to ride the coasters everyone was talking about. I had my first visits to Fantasy Island, Pleasure Island, Alton Towers, Southport Pleasureland and Blackpool Pleasure Beach that year.

In 2006 i've done the most new coasters. It was because of my tour through California, Arizona and Nevada. It gave me 38 new credits that year

This year! I normally do like 2 parks in a year if I'm lucky but I did 6 this time round and got 22 new creds. Only one abroad though, compared to the two last year, and only half of the parks were new to me, but all the ones that weren't had something new. Hoping to cross the 100 mark next year as I have less than 20 creds to go!

By far this one! +203 so far for the year... With a prospective +12 incoming also.

Doing a big US trip certainly helps! Their parks are so loaded!

This year is definitely turning out to be my best year. I don't know exactly how many new parks I've visited, but I've taken two incredible trips to America and Japan, and some small trips to Europe too.
I wish every year was like 2024.

My coaster reawakening began in the summer of 2021. I started the year 2022 with 97 credits. in Oct of 2022, I got my 200th credit. I forget exactly what the total for the calendar year ended up being, but it was at least 120 new credits.

I went to Knotts, KI, KD, BGW, Michigan's Adventure, Holiday World, Indiana Beach, Kentucky Kingdom, Kennywood, SFNE, SF America, Carowinds, Canada's Wonderland, Waldameer, Darien Lake, and Nick U American Dream, all for the first time that year. I also went to SWO, fun spots, and BGT in the first week of 2023. Including those I prob hit over 140 new credits in a 365 day span. It was wild. I've since toned it down but not by much.
