i have seen at other park websites they have ride trackers, where they track how many rides that members have ridden on in the park and in parks all over the world.
There are a few sites that have this feature, for one thats free Click on my website link under this post. A bunch of places actually have a counter, but most of the time they are for a local park only.
I was at GAm a couple days ago and I heard someone say that they are going to count D Vu as being two rides each because it goes backwards and forwards. So, a ride tracker wouldn't be good. People will say anything to get their ride count up. They will just try to beat other people's ride count, and riding the rollercoasters becomes more of an achievement than just for fun.

I see someone stole my brilliant idea.
I havn't even added up any of my rides besides Demon, and probably will never get around to it, mainly cause Demon's the only ride I care about (even though it's hard to ride now cause the read to succeed junk).

I have a notebook that has tallies for how many times of every ride at sfgam. The point for me is to just look at it for fun sometimes. And yes it does get to be more of an acheivement if you don't enjoy the coaster and if you just ride it to put a tally. The last time i went thats what happened on raging bull. I wanted to get my 100th ride and we went on it 7 times. It was still fun but i would have had more fun waiting for a better row.
