Anyone ridden ALL of one kind?

I was wondering, have any of you out there ridden all of a certain kind of coaster? I was browsing my track record, and I realized that I've ridden over half of the B&M stand-ups (4 of 7). I was thinking that I should make an effort to hit the other three, so that I can enjoy that fact that I've been on all of them.

For the sake of this question, let's only consider coaster types that have three or more of their kind. So, Vekoma GIB's would count at 3 (soon to be 4) but B&M Dive Machines wouldn't at 2.

I too have ridden 4 of 7 B&M stand-ups. That's probably the closest I come to riding all of any one kind.

How about 3 of the 4 Arrow mega-loopers? Does that count?

Sure, it counts! But you raise a good point. What defines an Arrow mega-looper?

Obviously we have;

Vortex @ PKI
Shockwave @ SFGAm
GASM @ SFGAdv
Viper @ SFMM
(of these four, I too have ridden three of them!)

But would you consider the Steel Phantom @ KW?
What about the Tennessee Tornado?

I would be surpirsed if someone around here hasn't hit all 6 floorlesses in the US.

For me it's only three so far.

The legend lives!

These would be all the Arrow Mega Loopers(excluding corkscrews and (single or double) loopscrews):

Big Dipper

GASM

Loch Ness Monster

Loop & Spiral Coaster

Orient Express

Shockwave (SFGAm)

Viper (SFDL)

Vortex

Viper (SFMM)

Vortex

I've ridden Wildfire one of a kind 2nd Gen sitdown by B&M

-----------------

I've ridden three of the four Arrow hyper coasters:

Desperado

Titan

Magnum XL 200

I've ridden every Sansei wild mouse and they have got to be the best in the world.

I was under the impression that the first Arrow mega-looper was Vortex, and the last was Viper, with Shockwave and GASM in between.

Any one who has ridden Volcano:TBC has accomplished ridding all Intamin Launched (complete circuit) Inverted coasters.

I've ridden all of the "normal" B&M sitdowns in the U.S. -- Kumba, Hulk, and Wildfire. Just need to get to Spain to ride Dragon Kahn!

No, he is referring to Titan in Space world. Close to being a Magnum clone.

I've ridden both of the looping speed racers: Revolution and Sooper Dooper Looper and the last non-looping speedracer, Whizzer (and Zambizi Zinger).
Also, I've ridden 5/7 of the B&M stand-ups and all 3 of the Arrow 7-loopers plus Vortex, Orient Express, both Great America Demons and nearly all of the hypers in the US.

There's all kinds of crazy coasters out there that most of us don't know about. Kind of fun, but it stinks when you think that you will probably never get to ride them!

Actually, four of Sansei's Adventure Coasters were made by Schwarzkopf and two of them still use the Speed Racer trains today, also the Columbia Speed Racer, La Broca and Rollercoaster! in Kuwait are Schwarzkopf Speed Racers(I'm probably the only one at the buzz that has seen any of these, Columbia Speed Racer was at a fair near San Andreas)

Also, don't Mindbender at Six Flags over Georiga and Shockwave at Six Flags over Texas count as Looping Speed Racers?

Don't worry, some of the greatest coaster in the world are in Japan and most of us haven't even heard their names before.

Regarding the Arrow mega-loopers -

Where would Anaconda at PKD fall? I thought it was considered one, but I may be way off base.

I consider anaconda a mega looper.I consider a mega looper with 4 or more inversions.

A mega looper need to have more than just consecutive inversion and feature a exceeding height, length, or number of inversions from the standard looper. So rides like Corkscrew, Demon, and Steamin' Demon don't cut it. If it is just a standard corkscrew, loopscrew, or double loopscrew.
