On my latest trip to Disney I was able to walk down the stairs on Space Mountain. It was a really cool experience seeing the lights on inside the mountain and then getting evac-Ed off.

Kinda bringing up a dead topic, i didnt want to start a new one and this is sorta related to the topic. Two questions, does repiv, or any backwards coaster that usually operates as a forward coaster count as a new credit? And do dueling coasters count as 1 or 2 credits? Ive ridden both sides on AE and Gemini, so I'm wondering if they count as 1 or 2.

Dueling do as long as they're two seperate tracks (So not mobius-loop)

Backwards, I'd go with no because it's the same ride/track as before, just with the trains turned around.

Although I would not count relocated rides, I have never been on one at both parks. Rajun Cajun I rode here but not at SFA, and Iron Wolf and Deja Vu I rode for the first time after they were already shipped off from SFGAm. Maybe one day if I get on a relocation I will give it more thought but for now I wouldn't.

I would say that if I have ridden it, and it got relocated, then it isn't a new credit. But, everyone has their own opinions.

Along the lines of credits, how do you all score rides that have 2 tracks like Eagle, Gemini, Racer (King's Island), Space Mountain (Disney World) , Dueling Dragons (Universal) , etc?? I have each of these as 2 credits.

Would love to hear everyone's thoughts!

For my count, I figure if they can operate separately, I count them separate.

^ I rode Incredible Hulk circa 1999 or 2000. I just rode it this week. Did the ride course/layout change at all with the 2015-6 overhaul?? I know the onboard sound was added in the overhaul.

Can I count this as 2 credits??

I count it twice as the entire coaster was scrapped and a new coaster built in it's place with entirely new track/supports/trains etc

For me if the ride has been relocated to a new park, I consider it a new credit.

As Technically speaking, that ride while relocated has been added as a new attraction to said park.

I don't however consider Backwards coasters as new credits, although an argument can be made about that actually being a new credit as well.

^ I don't count backwards as new credits either. I figure it's the same train and track....

How does everyone count consecutive rides??

On 4/16/22 I started the day as follows:
11x consecutive on X-Flight without ever leaving the train! Then 2 short (1 cycle each time) waits in line to pickup 4 more rides (2 and 2) = 15 total rides!

Does that equal 11 or 15 consecutive rides?

I did something similar in Dec, 2021 where I rode Dark Knight 20x, but waited in line for each ride (very short waits).

^ I personally would count both of those scenarios as long as I didn't leave to do something else in between the rides.
