Anyone ridden ALL of one kind?

I've ridden all but one of the GCI coasters. Both sides of Gwazi, both sides of Lightning Racer, Wildcat and ROAR-East. ROAR-West is the only one unridden.

Oh, and at one time, I had ridden all the B&M hypers (then they had to open that one in Europa Park...of course one could argue that is a quasi-Mack project, but that would be too anal forme...)

Me too, Jeremy, except the one I have yet to ride is Roar East.

SFEG awaits The Flying Coaster-coming in 2002!
I've ridden all Looping Wooden Coasters.
I've ridden the only Sequot coaster in the US (if not the world) which is Quantum Loop at Seabreeze in Rochester NY
I'm sure I'm not the only one here who has done this, I've ridden all 3 of B&M's US mega coasters.

So many coasters, so little vacation time....

Hmm. Let's see. I've ridden all the looping wooden coasters and all the Arrow 4D's. I've also ridden one of four GIBs. 1/2 Intamin launched freefall coasters, 1/2 Giovanola hypers, 1/3 Giovanola coasters, 1/2 coasters with interlocking loops, 1/2 CGI duelers, 1/2 giga coasters, the only dueling inverted coasters, only launched B&M coaster. I guess that's all. Wow. I've only done all the dueling inverted, launched B&M, Arrow 4D, and wooden looper.

I had all of the flyers, now that B&M is in the game, 4 of 5 now...:). I'll have all the U.S. hyerbeemers after this summer, and a whole lot more of the CCI catalog...Six of seven Beemer standups, and the last of the thre Arrow wicked sisters (GASM, Viper, Shockwave) - I don't include Vortex for the missing inversion and the fact that its corks are comfy...;). I'll still be missing Roar West from the GCI line-up....and sadly, I fear I'll never get the remaining CoasterWorks' coaster....:(. Somebody save the coaster (Thunder Eagle), only 500K....

(side note:) I bet if it HAD been named Intimidator, it'd have gotten a buyer, though....car-racing really has become more popular than it warrants IMO - but I guess there's folks who say the same about my beloved NBA ball?

Look at popularity, NASCAR is only just barely surpassed by the NFL as the most popular sport in the country, yet it still does not recieve the mainstream attention it deserves. After all it is "Just driving around in circles."

Well, it really depends on what you consider to be what in certain situations. If you take the arrow megaloopers as only the 4 (from Vortex to Viper), then I've ridden all four, but if you take the larger number, then I've only ridden 8 of them. As far as Hypers go (any company), I used to have a ride on all of them, up through '99, then I just got too busy and they came up way too fast and I got way behind. As far as the B&M stand-ups go, I've been on Iron Wolf, Vortex, Mantis, Riddler's Revenge, Chang, and Georgia Scorcher. Not all of the B&M stand-ups, but most of them. As for B&M inverts, I have no clue as to where I stand, I've totally lost track of all of them. That seems to be the case for many things though.
I've ridden all (read 'each') of the B&M dueling inverteds in the world :)
RGW: Now, I'm not a NASCAR fan, but it really *is* an underrated sport. The bulk of the actual race may *seem* like driving in circles, but in reality, to say that is like saying that golf is just "hitting a ball". There is a lot of stratigizing that goes on both on and off the track. It is very much a chess match. Now, I'm not going to camp out all night to watch that Brickyard 400 or anything like that (though I had friends that did :)) but I can appreciate that.

BTW: I think that after my Texas trip, I'll have ridden all the Arrow runaway nine trains...

I have been on:

* all the US B&M's (minus that lil' one that just opened at SFNE, blasted)

* all the US hyper coasters

* all the US Premier coasters (incl. Buzzsaw)

*every "new" (1998 and later) US Intamin except SFMW V2

* every GCI coaster

How many coasters are there in the US anyway? I still have some CCI's to go (MegaZeph [will be ridden Mem. Day], Hurricane, Sky Princess, the Silverwoodies, and Excalibur are only US CCI's I haven't been on).

Can you guess what my three fav manufacturer's are from my list? :) [please don't say GCI and Premier!]

-----------------
Hey, Shaggy, it's "Sea *$#@&$ WORLD!" LMAO.

Um... ah... well... for the record... I rode all of the Oscar Bitler designs... does that count?

How about all of the side friction coasters in the US?

Seriously though... the closest I can come to that is, like 2Hostyl, all the GCI's save one (and the same one too... ROAR west).

My goal is to ride all the Arrow suspended coasters. I have been on all in USA, will be hitting England's soon and then I think I will only have Canada and someplace in Asia (South Korea?) to hit after that. That last place may be a tall order though.

And until reading these post I didn't realize I had been on all the GCI's already. I think I am pretty close to getting all the B&M standups too. And I am working on Arrow Mine trains as well. Someday! :)

if i was you, dont bother coming to england just to ride the vampire as you can say its now a vekoma due to its changes over last year.

You still got a trip to take to Valleyfair!(Excalibur) and Port Advenura(El Diablo). You're almost there though

It'll be really hard to hit all the Arrow Suspended coasters. You still have to go to:

Vortex in Canada

Haya Busa 2000 in Japan

Eagle Fortress in Korea

Vampire in England

and in 2003 you'll also have to go to the new Speed Festival park in Spain!

Good luck

All it got were new trains so it's still an Arrow coaster. If that was the case, the Jackrabbit(NY) would be a Morgan coaster because it got new trains! LOL
