Veteran Roller Coaster Riders

At what point are you considered a "Veteran" Coaster Rider? By time or by the # of different coaster rides?

I have been riding for 4 years and have a coaster count of 90

God Bless Theme Parks!
A New Hoosier Theme Park, Abundant Grace Park, is on the horizion!

I have been riding for 7 years and I only have 59. I think it goes by how much love you have, and how "well" you know coasters.

I don't think anybody can be a "veteran of coasters". Every single ride is unique and can give you a different experience. I think people can only be veterans of specific coasters, not coasters as a whole. People who have ridden a certain ride on it's good and bad days, in all different seats, time of day, weather, etc. could safely be considered veterans. It boils down to what many people have been debating recently: you just can't judge a ride until you've actually gotten on it yourself.
