Does anyone keep some sort of a "Coaster Log"?

I keep a "Roller Coaster Log" in one of those Penway Composition books. The first page when you open up is a Table of Contents. Then the next pages has a roller coaster on each one (Pictures, specs, and a review). I am hoping to fill it up but right now I only have about 30 in there, so I better get riding! Does anyone else keep some sort of scrapbook or log? Or am I a loner? :)

I keep my track record here at CB, and my memories in my head and videos and pictures I have saved through the past few years.

I'm gonna start keeping one when I go to disney in Febuary and then over the summer if I go anywhere. I like keeping track.

movies+coasters= the most fun you could ever imagine!

I have a composition book. I divided the book by categories such as Cedar Fair and six Flags. I list the park, coaster, height,length, type,#of inversions, and year built

Yeah, a buddy of mine (and fellow 'Buzzer) had a little log for ech time he rode a coaster (I wont call him out, but you know who you are ;)). However, tht is *WAY* too organized for me. I'm too much of a 'free-spirit' to be so meticulously anal about coaster rides. I *barely* keep my track record updated (Come to think of it, I think it's wrong even now).

I begun to make a coaster log, which has a page designated to each coaster i've been on with a pic of the coaster, statistic, my personal review of it etc.  Unforunately my project was haulted when my piece of crap printer broke.

I have a list in my notebook, it's not very organized, just what coaster, a guess on when I rode it (I had to go from memory), and some funny comments.

I keep mine in an excel spreadsheet; with manufacturers, dates, etc. listed...

What I have done this year I have created a coaster photo album were I keep all my pictures of coasters in one album which currently has over 111 coasters in it plus I have printed out my track record from coasterbuzz and put it on the first page. I have added Worlds Of Fun & 6Flags St. Louis to the album. This year alone I have been to about 18parks which was more than I expected.

1)Cedar Point(2)Kings Island(3)Hershey Park(4)Worlds Of Adventure(5)Knoebles Grove

That is not a bad idea.  I think I'll start one.

Is a tomato a fruit or a vegetable?

I'm another one who keeps track of this stuff in an Excel spreadsheet, including the following: coaster name, park, city, state, type, designer/manufacturer, status (operating, defunct, etc), year built, year first run at current location (if moved), last year run (if defunct/removed), date of my first ride, number of pre-1999 rides (estimate), 1999 rides, 2000 rides, 2001 rides, and Grade. I gave up keeping track of a rating (1,2,3,4,5…63,64,65) because first, my tastes can change from one visit to the next, and second, I hate comparing different classes of coasters.

"I wasn't always this cynical, but then I started kindergarden..."

I don't keep a log, but I do have photo albums for coaster pictures only, in which I write info about the coasters.

I do have a spreadsheet for all the movies I see in the theater, with my "star rating," where I saw it, who with, etc.

-----------------
You can't spell "dishonorable" without "honorable."

I am into rating coasters, movies, etc. but I don't keep a log per se on coasters.  I do have many photo albums that have coaster photos in them along with whatever trip I was taking at the time.  I get more pics in Japan for some reason, and never any in the states.  I have only 2 pics of SFMM, and 3 of KBF.  I don't have any of any other park or coaster I ridden, and that is a lot.  Last year on a trip to Silverwood, I took 3 rolls of pictures, and got home only to find them ruined because the camera had a light leak that overexposed all the film........argh.  I had really nice pics of Tremors on-ride too.

These are good pics of me, though

I keep a track record on this site and also photo albums.  I tend to write my trip reports up in Word and save those, since they are usually pretty thorough.

I just put all of the pictures I have from Coaster Tours on a big bulletin board I have in my room.

The funny thing is, Jeremy COULD be referring to me, but not necessarily, since I know plenty of folks who keep track with even more detail than I do.  (I know Jeff thinks I'm a freak in this regard, too ;) )

I keep a track record, and started lap counting last year out of curiosity..
