I have thought about counting credits but have so many from when I was younger that I would not be sure if they were right. I think your rules make sense though and a great way to do it!

[@yourexperienceguide]

Yeah understandable, it took me ages to get the correct order, originally I hadn’t put them into the order I’d done them which is how the milestones got confused.

[@ThemeParkWorldTour]

@@yourexperienceguide I have never counted them either!!! Great video Scott, you competitive? Never!!!!?

[@danielbooth2982]

Thanks, Scott, for putting this together. I actually like it when vloggers keep their hand in by putting out videos like this because, quite simply, it gives you something to chill out and watch and it lets you know that the channel is still active. It was a good video and my coaster count is horrendous 🎢

[@sammi-leannw2202]

Thank you so much for doing this video, I have always wondered what these creds were that people talked about on theme park channels. I would think that the way that you calculate the creds sounds a lot more fair and simpler. Looking forward to seeing you, Becky, Mark, Mike & the rest of the gangs content in 2021 and fingers crossed it's a better year for everybody 🤞

This has really inspired me to do a coaster count. I have been to a fair few parks so my count will probably be in the 100s which is good because I am not to old so I have about 60_70 years of coaster riding left

[@jimmytwo3998]

Great vid . You continue to inspire me on this fun journey . I counted steeple chase as 3 and grand national as 1 as well . I’m not far off 100 now but I’m not in a rush . Why rush a journey that’s so enjoyable . Favourite intamin is Goliath at wailibi Holland . I use coaster count app

[@yourexperienceguide]

Thank you for watching!

[@benchristopherhird]

Definitely classing the grand national as one coaster! Always have. Shame I'm already going to Florida (I hope) next year would loved to have come on your US trip. If you do anymore I'll get on it 😊

[@Dispaced_]

@@yourexperienceguide If you’re in the area there’s a Zamperla Dragon Coaster a couple miles down the road at Knightlys Fun Park, I operated it for a season a couple years ago. Similar to Nessy just packs a bit more of a kick.

[@expeditioned2821]

This was a brilliant video idea Scott! I remember my first ever coaster was this Go Gator junior coaster which I rode when I was 4! I've come a long way since then 😉! Also, what is your favourite RMC?

Very tough call, Untamed was fantastic and gave me a better liking for RMCs, but Zadra was crazy without battering my thighs.

Steeplechase Pinfari 1. Gullys Crazy Train 2. The Wriggler Zamperla 1. Runaway Mine Carts (only Zamperla ive done) again im in my very early days of coaster counting edit i just realised steeplechase is an arrow

[@yourexperienceguide]

The count soon builds up, when I first worked mine out I was surprised by how many I’d done.

[@sincerelyinsincere9268]

I'm with you on rides such as Grand National and Steeplechase. Should be counted as 1. Even if you consider them to be 2 and 3 coasters respectively (tbh I don't go with that logic) you aren't riding them all at once, therefore your count should always go up in increments of 1. @5:24 you mention my home town and you pronounced it correctly! :)

[@yourexperienceguide]

Haha, I’ve had plenty of practise at getting that right 😉

[@colintait7139]

Very interesting Scott no wonder you are such a massive enthusiast mate true dedication thanks for sharing your thoughts all the best 🎢👍🎢👍

[@yourexperienceguide]

Thanks Colin!

[@heather1980]

I do use Coaster-Count, I find it quite useful. I counted Grand National as 2, and Steeplechase as 3 because the rides are not identical. Ditto for rides that have been 100% retracted. New Hulk at Islands of Adventure rides completely differently that the original-they smoothed out the transitions it feels like. I do not count relocated rides as the track is exactly the same. I’m at 356. 100 was Behemoth at Canada’s Wonderland, 200 was Swarm at Thorpe Park, and 300 was Fury at Bobbejeanland.

[@yourexperienceguide]

Fair enough, the reason I don’t use apps is because I don’t agree with how some of the coasters are listed. The Hulk is very debatable but I’ve only done it since the retrack.

[@olivercubitt624]

Do you count dark rides/water rides? Thinking of starting a count but debating what to put on.

[@yourexperienceguide]

Only if they're on RCDB and classed as a coaster, people count the BPB Ghost Train but that should never be considered a coaster.

[@parkreviews]

I'm 21y now and my coastercount is currently at 863 (from 20 countries & 2 continents). I plan on scoring my 1000th credit in 2021, but I currently don't know where exactly that will be... I do count Steeplechase as three credits and Grand National as two, but how many rollercoasters like that have I done in total, almost none... So that won't make a big difference. A relocated rollercoaster does not count as an extra credit, when you already rode it when it was in the previous park(s). Thanks to the team of Coaster-Count I'm able to count and keep track of the travelling coasters on my list. Because of their hard work and literally "rollercoaster hunting", I'm 100% sure that no travelling credit is accidently counted twice.

[@yourexperienceguide]

Fair enough, thanks for sharing! That’s an excellent count at 21!

[@prestonmelton4157]

My first coaster credit was Blue Streak at Cedar Point, in 1976. My first Arrow credit was Corkscrew, also Cedar Point, 1976. Here are my favorites per manufacturer: B&M - Dragon Challenge / Universal Islands of Adventure Arrow - Loch Ness Monster / Busch Gardens Williamsburg Intamin - (haven't ridden many of these) Disaster Transport aka Avalanche Run / Cedar Point Vekoma - Woody Woodpecker's Nuthouse Coaster / Universal Studios Florida (daughter's first coaster, so special spot in my heart for this one!) Schwarzkopf - Wildcat / Cedar Point. I count Gemini as two coasters, because there are two tracks, and two trains. Sure, they are parallel, mostly, but just given the fact that there are design variances on the curves makes them (slightly) different coasters. In casual conversation, I refer to Gemini as one ride. I suppose I would consider Grand National two credits for the same reason. Same thing with Dragon Challenge, where one is the mirror of the other.

[@yourexperienceguide]

I also count Gemini as two, same with Dragon Challenge. Loch Ness at BGW is very high up on my bucket list of coasters. 😀 Thanks for watching and commenting 😊

[@Minnesinger1]

Favorites: Vekoma: Lech Coaster B&M: Fury 325 Mack: Hyper Coaster Intamin: El Toro. Arrow: Tennessee Tornado Least painful Pinfari: Some Big Apple / Wacky Worm Woodie: Too many good ones. Here's 3. Lightning Rod (which will now get IBOXed and fall out of the woodie category), The Voyage and El Toro (the one at Six Flags Great Adventure).

[@yourexperienceguide]

Thanks for commenting and watching

[@JamesTaylorMain]

The website I'm using is called "Captain Coaster", and I listed four (actually three) coasters that I have actually ridden. Why I'm using Captain Coaster is that when I was trying to use Coaster-Count, there is a stipulation that I have to come up with the exact date and time of when I rode these coasters (and I only remember the year, not the date) or else I get banned. In Captain Coaster, there are no rules that feel "authoritarian" unlike Coaster-Count. Also, is your favorite B&M "Nemesis"? "Banshee"? "Silver Star"? "Black Mamba"? "Montu"? Or anything else? (these coasters are located at Alton Towers, Kings Island, Europa-Park, Phantasialand, and Busch Gardens Tampa, respectively)

[@yourexperienceguide]

I decided on Batman at Six Flags Great Adventure being my favourite B&M, foot tingling high thrills invert

[@davecuban9414]

RMC - Zadra; Gerstlauer - Karnan; Intamin - Hyperion; B&M - Fénix; GCI - Troy = those are my favourite TOP5; Mack - Blue Fire; Vekoma - Speed of Sound; and with Pinfari I just rode Ortobruco Tour in Gardaland... I agree with you, that it is right to count dueling coasters as one, I also do it the same.

[@yourexperienceguide]

Thanks for sharing, and for watching! :)

[@themeparkawesome3401]

My Coaster count isn't big as I've only done the ones at Legoland, Chessington, Thorpe Park and Alton Towers and a catopillar coaster. When it comes to a funfair coaster for an example a spinning wild mouse coaster I would only include it once on the count. My favourite B & M coaster is The Swarm. I've only done 1 wooden coaster and that's Wicker man. I'm hoping to head out to Blackpool pleasure Beach to get more Coaster count.

[@yourexperienceguide]

Thanks for watching and commenting 😊 BPB will definitely help to boost your count

[@ZEK.0]

I absolutely love crush's coaster! Actually the ride that pushed me to ride bigger rides :) probably wouldn't have such an interest in coasters without it :)

[@yourexperienceguide]

It was alright to be honest, just not a great milestone coaster lol

[@james82]

I don’t think counting credits is mad, i think it’s a good way to keep track of how many you’ve done. The only thing I’d like people to do is have 2 counts. One with and without the multiple same layout kiddie coasters like the big Apple/wacky worms and go gators. People just ride 300 of them and inflate their numbers to make it seem impressive. Also, Hyperion not being your 300th doesn’t make it any less of a great coaster. It doesn’t really matter if it’s 274 or 167, the coasters are what count not the specific order your rode them.

[@yourexperienceguide]

Hyperion was superb, wish it had been a milestone because I really, really enjoyed it. The airtime was incredible.

[@MCParradox]

I have a somewhat convoluted system but it works for me. I have a running count of "experiences", and for each one I mark it as either a credit or not a credit. A credit I define as a distinct, complete track. However, rethemes and relocations count as new experiences, but not new credits. So for example: Nash is 1 credit, as it is one continuous track, while Steeplechase is three credits (and I've only got one). The Incredible Hulk at IOA has two credits, one for the original track, and one for the 2016 retrack. Space Mountain Mission 2 and Hyperspace Mountain at Disneyland Paris are two experiences, but only one credit, as it is the same rollercoaster underneath. I mostly stick to your rules regarding travelling coasters and RCDB listings, but with a couple of exceptions where I feel they make sense. For instance, I have listed Olympia Looping as it is such a noteworthy ride, and I also have rides like Test Track and Escape from Gringotts listed as they feature coaster elements and hold the same level of prestige within their parks. All this taken into account, I currently have 108 experiences listed, and 102 distinct coaster credits.

[@MCParradox]

A similar anecdote as well, I had planned for my 100th coaster to be the Big One, but it turns out I had made a mistake in my spreadsheet, so Big One was no. 101, and no. 100 was in fact... Blue Flyer!

[@yourexperienceguide]

MCParradox Hey! Thanks for sharing, I think we have very similar ways of doing it, interesting about The Hulk.

[@Demon-POT]

My first was Troublesome Trucks, 10th was Formula Rossa, 25th was I think infusion and 30th was smiler, I’m stuck on 31 now

[@yourexperienceguide]

[@technoandrew]

I've enjoyed counting my credits ever since I got back into coasters a couple of years ago. Only on 55 at the moment, but that should change next year if the American trip goes ahead! I can't wait to see what my 100th credit will be. I count the Grand National as 2 credits, because of the 'getting off one side to get on the other side' thing. And it's funny, because I think one of the sides is my 50th credit! I didn't know it at the time, because I've since remembered other coasters I rode before it. Also I'm not very good at remembering the order I did things in. Favourite Vekoma: Rockin' Roller Coaster at Walt Disney Studios Paris. Favourite Mack: Icon Favourite B&M: Nemesis Favourite Intamin: Stealth Favourite Arrow: Vortex at Canada's Wonderland

[@yourexperienceguide]

I’m confident we’ll get the event, I think the news of the vaccine and a Covid task force being put into action in the US will really work in our favour.

[@kkrispy2009P]

Looked at the video and thought you was going to read all your 305 out lol Its a good insite video my count is 100 only and my 100 was icon 2 yrs ago. Cause thats where I stopped it's just about riding them now and yes I counted steeplechase as 3 lol thanks scott

[@MrShowbizguy]

When I visit a new park I put my new credits in any order I choose, as long as I ride them all on that visit. So my 300th was technically Scorpion at BG but my list reads Montu as #300.

[@yourexperienceguide]

Fair enough, makes sense

[@MrShowbizguy]

@@yourexperienceguide Really only matters for those milestones, I've never been one to walk past a new cred with no queue just to get specific milestones. Some coasters open later in the day or they're down for maintenance and I only get a few hours to visit a park usually. Great video Scott

[@alfnsue]

Great video Scott 😎

[@yourexperienceguide]

Thank you 😊

[@gemmachaos]

Whether a Mobius coaster is one or two creds depends on whether I have to queue twice. So Grand National: two credits, Twisted Colossus: one credit. It's only fair.

[@yourexperienceguide]

Fair enough 😀

[@alexcarr101]

Really enjoyed that. Very unique video. I've always been intrigued as to why people count their rollercoaster. I just don't get it. I think it's daft especially when you start including wacky worms. Each to their own I guess. I've got no idea how many I've done as countless trips to America during my teenage years has left me not even remembering which parks I've been to let alone what coasters. I have vivid memories though like going on the missile at American Adventure and an Ultra Twister at a Six Flags park in Texas. Favourites: Vekoma: Colorado Adventure B&M: Shambhala Mack: Icon Intamin: Hyperion or Taron Arrow: Big One Woodie: Stampida

[@yourexperienceguide]

Not a bad list of favourites! Coaster counting is definitely a bit daft isn’t it? I started it because Becca was doing it, updating hers when we want to Paris so I thought about doing it too. It’s weirdly addictive.
