Are you telling us or do you want this site to have that too? I'm sure it has been brought up before, but I'm not sure.

Its really a useless feature, most people will lie about it anyway, plus theres no real reason you need it.

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 never really understood the fascination of how many times you have ridden a particular coaster but of course this is just my opinion.

Just do it the old fashioned way like Holydumb and bring the trusty notepad. :)
I finally retired the Sarah Palin signature because she is now 100% irrelevant.

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).

Here theres a link that says "back to Carousel Plaza rides" but it should be County Fair rides (links to the right page), not worth making a topic about.

Haha...I couldn't figure out what that had to do with a Coaster Tracker, but then I read "not worth making a topic about"

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.
