What 'Exclusive'/Rare Cred's Do You Have?

Oh that reminds me. Quantum Loop at Seabreeze before it was removed

Got a tiddly kiddie cred in the middle of Ontario with Taylor by chance - we were going to go there anyway and a few weeks before I flew out they announced they were getting a cred, so I'm fairly sure me and Taylor were the first enthusiasts to nab it.

MINER MIKE <3 and I have the Endicott Mine at a now defunct park at a hotel in Ontario.

I think I may have exclusive CF rights to these badboys:

Water Chute - GYPB
Mouse Trap - PWH
Runaway Train - Pettitts
Looping Star - GYPB

If not, I'm sure I'll get corrected.

Anyone on here have the Alton Mouse cred?

Anyone on here have the Alton Mouse cred?

It's another on my "might have" list. I went each year it was there, but I have no clear memory of riding it. Those days involved hours of queuing per ride and maybe three or four actual rides. So you just joined a queue and ended up on a coaster at some point. Lol

Runaway Train - Pettitts

Sorry, me and Richard have that ;]

 

[Martyn B]

Bastards.

 

[nadroJ]

I have the Clown Coaster that was at Chessington and Space Chase at Adventure Island ^.^

And I definitely have SOME stuff at Frontierland but I can't tell what is what from the photos so can't count them <///3

It is worth pointing out that CF gets a weird, rare claim to fame.

Maverick rolled back twice during its opening day, once on the launch and once on the launch lift hill.

Snoo just so happened to be on the train that rolled back on the launch, during the First Riders Auction ERT. I was on the train that rolled back on the launch lift, which was an official public opening ride.

So collectively we have:

First rollback with riders
First public rollback
First rollback on launch
First rollback on launch lift

If that isn't the epitome of roller coasterdom - I don't know what is!

sorry - got all of the top 4 except pettitts, and blizzard, and the toboggan both at GYPB! :la:

Also got alton mouse, 4 man bob, thunderlooper and the beast (new and old) and black hole

(Would have had alton mouse at it's idlewild location if it wasn't closed!)

^^Jer, Kimi & I have done Star Jet at Casino Pier & Looping Coaster at Funtown Pier, that were destroyed by Hurricane Sandy (Snoo might have too). I've also got Led Zeppelin - The Ride as well as the other credz at Hard Rock Park & I rode I305 in all its glory several times, including some epic nighttime ERT before any changes were made. And so many of us have ridden Big Bad Wolf, that it probably shouldn't count tbh.

Thriller on the German fair circuit immediately comes to mind. Pretty sure there aren't too many people outside of Germany that have that one.

Roller Coaster at Kiddie Park Of San Antonio.

Both sides of Batman And Robin: The Chiller at Six Flags Great Adventure. As well as both Lightning Loops, Viper, Shockwave & Ultra Twister.

Dania Beach Hurricane at Boomers in Southern Florida.

X Coaster at Magic Springs & Crystal Falls in Hot Springs, Arkansas.

Tornado & Teddy Bear at Stricker's Grove (the park is only open to the public about 7 days a year).

Not quite as rare, but many don't have Speed - The Ride at Nascar Cafe in Las Vegas, Nevada.

How about Montaña Rusa & Raton Loco in Tijuana, Mexico? Only CFers are Chris (rollermonkey) & I that have them.

Anyone else besides Snoo & I have Blue Streak at Conneaut Lake Park? Or how about Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom?

There are a bunch more isolated coasters throughout the USA that no one else on here has, but I won't list them all because they're not that rare - just way off the beaten path.

Finally dare I mention the coasters at Karolinalund in Denmark that we got during the CF-Live.

Even with all that I still can't touch Gavin. :roll:

I have all the ones I left, Jerry.

I have gobs of those isolated kiddie coasters, too. Such as the ones all over Ohio, the singletons in Oklahoma, Washington, Colorado and more.

I have the Endicott Emerald Mine thing, too.

At various points, I've had all the known credits in California, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Florida, New Jersey, Illinois, Wisconsin, Virginia, Maryland, Oregon, Washington, Georgia, Kansas, Nebraska, New Hampshire, Maine, Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee, Nevada... Maybe others. I'm not looking at a map. Oh, Singapore and Taiwan.

With 1107 credz, it doesn't surprise me at all.
I'll never forget the first time we met when you & M_Force_4_ever left after the Knott's morning ERT to get all the SoCal credz & showed back up for evening ERT. You not only got everything in Los Angeles & San Diego, but also the Tijuana coasters. :roll:

 

[Error]

A **** "4D" ride at the Kalamazoo Airzoo is all I have.

Oh lord it wasn't worth free.

 

[BBH]

I got Little Dipper at the original Kiddieland when I was 3 years old.

Sure, the Great America cred, but I have it from Kiddieland.

Also have a Miner Mike under my belt.

We had actually done San Diego the day before. We did Las Vegas at some point that weekend, too.

In all, we did all of SoCal, (all the kiddie parks, too) Tijuana, and Las Vegas in three days.

Like 8 weeks later, I did all of NorCal, and re-visited MM in like 4 days.

Between the two trips, I rode every single coaster in CA and NV, plus Tijuana in the same year.

You could say that I was kind of obsessed.

Mr Chris!! Driving my ass all around Chicago during a snow storm to pick up kiddie credits in December <3

I've got my fair share of elusive or rare coasters... And coasters that in time will be "rare". I've also had more than a few "discoveries" where sites like RCDB didn't have them listed till I "found" them.
things like this http://rcdb.com/3683.htm?p=17792 , this http://rcdb.com/4271.htm?p=21936 , and this http://rcdb.com/10744.htm?p=39745 off the top of my head were things I "found" So its pretty safe to say I rode them before you

For the longest time on Coaster-Count I was the only one with Capitale Express at Méga Parc and even now only a handful list it - http://rcdb.com/369.htm?p=17857
Same goes for Anaconda at Granby Zoo - http://rcdb.com/4070.htm?p=29907

I'm thrilled I got the chance to ride this http://rcdb.com/2567.htm?p=18583 ! I mean, come on... Its named Chicken Express!

I got this too! http://rcdb.com/9426.htm?p=0 The old Michael Jackson dragon wagon set up at Coney Island for a summer, ha

I've also got the Vidámpark Looping Star.. Sorta-rare? Myrtle Beach Pavilion coasters and Freestyle/HardRock coasters too? a bunch of defunct New England coasters (Whalom's Flyer Comet, PRE-SFNE Riversides kiddie coaster and Black Widow, dragon and Galaxi from Salisbury Beach)

Anyone on here have the Alton Mouse cred?

Yeah, but not at Alton.

I also have the Pettitts cred.

I've got Rail Chase from SEGA World Sydney!

I don't know of anyone else who does? Unfortunately, I remember very little from it and there's literally no photos of it anywhere, though I assume it was pretty much the same as the Tokyo one. It wasn't open very many years and then mysteriously vanished when the park closed. Wiki says it was sold to a foreign buyer, but RCDB lost track of it.

Tokyo's Rail Chase, also dead now.

SEGA World Sydney was weird in general. 1997 was a stupidly late year to open a SEGA World... In that period when SEGA was completely irrelevant. And theme parks based around technological advancements are, for anyone with a brain, clearly going to be hard to maintain as relevant. I went in 1999, and it closed in 2000.

I guess my "rarer" credits are any rides that have been torn down or relocated. (So riding roller coasters in a specific setting)

That would be all of the original Geauga Lake coasters, Speed, Son of Beast, and soon-to-be Wildcat and Disaster Transport as they fade into history.

The farthest out park I have been to is Frontier City, a former part of the Six Flags empire in Oklahoma City. I know Jerry has been there, but don't know of any others.

Does Mean Streak without trims count as an "Exclusive" credit? It actually turns out to be pretty good, living up to being one of the top 10 tallest, fastest, and longest wooden coasters out there.

I have a couple of rides in my count that might qualify for this.

Looping Coaster and Star Jet in Seaside Heights, NJ - Again, not exactly 'exclusive' now since they were probably ridden by tons of people, quite a few enthusiasts among them I'm sure, during their operational lifespan. But they'll become more exclusive as the years pass on, since they're in no shape anymore to be taking on new riders...

If you want to play the Hurricane Sandy game I have a few New Jersey creds that are now long gone. I have the Mighty Mouse (oldschool E&F Miler wild mouse) at both of its New Jersey homes (Ocean City + Seaside Heights), and the Funtown Family coaster.

I'm pretty sure Jerry's son is the lone person here who can possibly brag about it, but there's the Kiddie Coaster @ Rye Playland. The only people who are able to get that credit are under 44" in height.

Mini Coaster, at Barry Island.....?
