Im at 57  , but I hope to reach 100 by the end of next summer. Now that Im in college, and I have more free time between semesters, more freedom period, a very reliable car and a high-paying co-op coming soon, Ill be able to travel more to parks (its really bad when you havent been to a park with an awesome woodie thats just 3 hours away)

It's funny - I'm actually only at about 35, but when I think of it, I've probably been on a good handful of those listed a good, high number of times. God only knows how many times I've been on the Beast...
But then, I don't necessarily hunt down the big coaster parks - I'm more of a traditional amusement park junkie. And, for the most part, I can take or leave most steel coasters - I'm all about wood, baby.

"im all about wood" definately the most double meaning sentence in coaster vocabulary

I want to get more rides on woodies. After experiencing Thunderhead, I know what its about now more than ever. I lke steel coasters and all, but that feeling was awesome. My dad told me the other day "how can you like a wooden coaster more than this?" (refering to S:UF after he rode it the first time, and he asked my why it was only #5 on my list, behind four steel coasters and Thunderhead). I just couldn't explain it... kinda odd since he has been to PKI and ridden the Beast, so I guess I figured that he would have respected wood (silly GP...)

I've been on 57 and counting. My parints never liked going to parks. I did. we went to the same parks often. I likely have a 1000 rides on the Cannonball and Canobie.

I finally decided to type up my track record in Excel format and realized my coaster count is off by a few. In the past I just printed up the Ride Tracker and added and then accounted for defunct coasters not in the Ride Tracker (i.e.: Lightning Loops) Also, it brings up a couple of questions.
Racing woodies count as one in my count but dueling wood coasters count as two if I ride both sides (i.e.: Twisted Twins, Gwazi, Lightning Racer)
With steel such as Dueling Dragons (Fire and Ice) or The Chiller: Batman & Robin I count these coasters as two rides as each side has dramatically different elements within.

I've only ridden on 29 coasters my whole life. Hopefully this year I can get up to at least 50 coasters this year.

I count each track as a seperate credit. Therefor, the PKI Racer is two credits if I ride each side. The only racing coaster that counts as one for me is a mobius coaster, like the KW Racer, where I have to ride both sides to get one credit. The reason I do that is because the two seperate tracks are always, due to the nature of physics, different.

What about Space Mountain? I've seen people count that as two. I don't think that should be two

The two tracks on Space Mountain at Magic Kingdom are mirrored, making them different. In fact, they have slightly different lengths. I have only been on the right side of it, so I still count it as once for the moment.

Since the season is over for most of us how did everybody's count progress. I'm up at 284 now, I picked up quite a few credits at parks that had coasters down on a previous visit and also whored myself out on a couple of family/kiddie coasters.
