TTD will be my 100th coaster

My 250th was SD2K. That was memorable! :)

That was my 100th. :) I didn't even know it at the time, so I guess I just got lucky.

#100 was LocosSumo, (if the sig wasn't enough of a clue) and #50 was ST, my first CCI.

My 100th coaster is going to be Apollo's Chariot when I go to BGW in June for CoasterCon. TTD will most likely be my 95th coaster depending on whether I go to PKI before CP opening day or not. I still have to ride Runaway Reptar, Beastie, and Scooby Doo's Ghoster Coaster so TTD could either be my 95th or 98th. But AC will definitely be my 100th.

Congrats on reaching your first milestone! Don't downplay it. 100 coasters is a lot...celebrate! ;)

When I finally decided to sit down and count how many coasters I'd ridden I'd already surpassed the 100 mark. However my #200 was Flying Unicorn at IOA. I'll hit #300 this June...it will be somewhere along the Jersey Shore.

#100 for me was Magnum, which also became my number one steelie (at the time). #150 was Cornball, even better. #200 will be somewhere on the Jersey Shore this June.

Bass...any chance we can make your #200 and my #300 the same coaster, ridden at the same time?

Number 50 for me was Millineum Force. I might hit 100 this year.

I'm not sure what my 100'th coaster will be. I've only been to SFGAm, and I don't keep track of the rides I ride.

At 92 now. Processing in at the Point on May 12th and determined as hell to get to IoA before that (hopefully bringing me up to to 97). Which leaves three coasters that I have not ridden number since my last point trip in 1999. So if it comes down to that....the big question of numero 100.....

The force or top thrill......

My 100th Coaster was AIR at Alton Towers, although it very nearly wasnt because if I had ridden the Little Dragon at LegoLand in August 2001 which I didnt ride because the park was too busy, That would have been my 100th, A scary thought that is not worth thinking about.

Anyway at the moment, I am on 178 coasters, at the end of April, My Total should be 190 coasters and with a bit of luck, My 200th should be Dragon Karn at Port Aventura near the end of the year.

My 100th coaster, like Mamoosh, came before I started taking a count of what I had ridden. I know now it was something at SFA in 1999, but don't know what.

150th came in '00 at SFNE on Cyclone, a terrifying ride.

200th coaster (also in '00) was kinda weird since I was horrible at keeping an accurate count. If anyone saw Coaster Mayhem 2000 by Clayton Hauck, it shows me on Outlaw as my 200th, but I really think it was on the mouse at Little A-Merrick-A (random!).

#250 came in May 2001 at SFoT on Titan. Kinda forgettable, as I don't really care for the Gio hypers. #300 came later that year in June at Steel Pier on the Crazy Mouse...would have been Nitro, but I just can't pass up a Miler kiddie coaster! ;)

#350 was on Media Day for Superman Ultimate Flight (yay for B&M!). Very good ride to have it on...then #400 came at Alton Towers on Nemesis, another great Beemer.

My last milestone was on perhaps the best one of them all...drum roll...#450...The Wacky Worm at Lake Winnie last September. What a day. :)

I'll be hitting #500 this year if I ride almost everything I plan on doing...only 45 more left!

Do carnival coasters count? If so, I've been on 48. If not, I've been on 44.

I'm going to IOA for spring break, so that'll add 5 (assuming Dueling Dragons is two). If we count the carnival coasters, I will ride Dueling Dragons (Fire) first, then Hulk, so Hulk will make #50. Then, add three more, so some simple math concludes Top Thrill Dragster will be 54.

If we do not count the portable coasters, that means I will ride all five at IOA at Top Thrill Dragster will be my 50th.

So...do portables count?

It's up to you whether you count portables or not. There are no set rules to a ride count. I personally don't count portables and do count Dueling Dragons as two. Fire and Ice are two separate rides with different layouts, that equals two in my book, but as I said there are no set rules.

Don't be bitter, Playa. Just realize this place is SERIOUS, and no tomfoolery is tolerated. Even on April Fool's Day.
