Counting Coasters
Thanks to a posting on the ECC’s mailing list - I’ve discovered the website “Coaster Count“.
Now, I’ve been through my memory, and have listed every coaster I’ve been on - and it’ turns out that the last “new” coaster I rode was my 250th rollercoaster ridden. (to clarify, I don’t count powered coasters!)
The ride (as regular readers may have guessed) was Speed at Oakwood. At least that milestone of riding was passed with a really good ride!

I’ve signed up too and it does look very good.
It’s missing a few of the travellers though.
Tom, did you find Speed Loop at Funderland for example?
Good point Malcolm - that’s actually a bit of a shame, as it changes my 250th…
I’ve sent them an email to tell them that one (and the Crazy Mouse) are missing from their database.
If I add those two in (Speed Loop and the Crazy Mouse from Funderland which is also missing from the database), it changes my 250th coaster from Speed to G-Force at Drayton Manor park (picture) towards the end of last year.
They also seem to be missing James Burton’s Dragon that appeared at Hyde Park over Christmas - I can’t fault the park coasters yet though. They even have the largest coaster in Greece listed (http://rcdb.com/id2255.htm)!
I like the compare feature and the maps will be excellent when they’ve got more co-ordinate data for parks across the world. If only somebody already had that information and had put it into Google Earth… :p
You mean something like this one (from Malcolm)

Looks like the Funderland coasters have now been added to the database
taking my total to 252. (270 including Powered coasters)
It’s just a shame you can’t make your list of coasters totally public and link to it… only other coastercounter users will be able to read this list: http://www.coaster-count.com/list8961.xhtml
