Should we submit coasters that were removed from a park?
No. In fact, even though I provided a SBNO field, I would prefer that we only added those if there was a chance they might run again (i.e., Americana).

Is it possible to make an area to write in defunct coaster that are on your track record.
Nope. Sorry.

Remember that a lot of coasters have been moved and have different names. For example, I have the Mayan Mindbender at SFAW and Vancouver's Corkscrew on my list. I've never been to either park but have rode those rides when they were the Nightmare and Screamer, respectively, at Boblo Island. Do some investigation and see if your defunct coasters are actually known as something else.

I rode the Jet Star when it was at Knoebles so I added it even though its listed under Moreys Pier.
Second one of my coasters was a mirror image of the Goaster Coaster at PKD. Could I add the Goaster Coaster twice to make up for the missing coaster?
Sure.

Ah, the eternal debate continues. Should you count a coaster twice if was moved? Should you count each clone? Is S:TE a coaster? The world may never know.

Ugh... thanks, Pandora! :)
I did separate Dueling Dragons, by the way, since each coaster travels a completely different path. However, you can bet Gemini and the PKI Racer will remain single coasters!

In that case, you should seperate Twisted Sisters at SFKK to Lola and Stella, Batman and Robin: The Chiller at SFGAdv, and Gwazy at BGW.
On the other hand, rides like Rebel Yell at PKD, Thunder Road at PCW and The Racer at Kennywood should stay at one.

The Rebel Yell at PKD has two separate tracks forward and bacward. What is the reason for not including it twice (mirror layouts?) I was counting them by name everyone knows wich are double tracks and not. JMOP
I can,t remember 2 of the coasters that were at opryland before it closed, I was there in '91 and the only coaster I can remember was wabash cannonball. I want to look for these coasters to see if they have been moved to another park but I don't know what coasters to look for. Anybody have any idea?
my opinion is yes... defunct or removed coasters should be added to the list. Perhaps with some sort of a 'defunct' note out to the side. Also what about the Matterhorn... It has a right and a left side... but it is not a racer, so it should be counted as two.
just my opinion
Screechnowl, if you rode "Kong" at SFMW it was "The Hangman" at Opryland before the park closed in 1998.
