I will probably draft up a tier list or similar at some point.

HAPPY PRIDE! Have I told y'all I'm nonbinary?
Oh one more. On the first day of Dreamers Academy I didn't get to DAK (where they made our reservation for) until 3pm and I managed to do all 4 parks.
Did both Pandora rides, Dinosaur, and Everest at DAK, then got food at Studios and did Single Rider Rise, then hopped to Epcot for fireworks, then went to Magic Kingdom for Tiana's and two consecutive Country Bears. I was shocked at how much I managed to get done in 7 hours

Back when I use to work at KD, I rode Intimidator 305 twenty three times in a row without having to walk around.
I now have a goal of how many consecutive rides to get. Also love your custom title!
Some that I can think of at the moment:
- Riding Pantherian 18 times on Halloween night last year. Most I've ridden it in a day so far.
- Got to ride Anaconda a couple times on it's final night.
- Rode Rock N' Roller Coaster the year it opened, making it my first looping roller coaster at age 6.
- My rarest credit, Blizzard at Star City, Manila, Philippines.

Very nice...and thank you for the inspiration with your title; I felt it appropriate to change mine to what it is now.
Aight, have got a list of my own then. What's the point in having bragging rights if you can't flex them?
- Helped pack up a portable Scrambler by hand, as well as a Zamperla Kite Flyer that I climbed up on top of
- Certified as the first-ever paying customer on a brand-new-for-2026 fairground Zero Gravity thrill ride, was given a zen lap
- Ridden 5/6 coasters based in the Dominican Republic and walked around one there that never actually opened
- Have Puerto Rico country completion by technicality of ownership... a single Wacky Worm!
- Gotten stuck on a Wacky Worm twice and had to keep being pushed down with a two-by-four
- AlpenFury construction tour at Canada's Wonderland, inside the mountain
- Attended grand opening days for two new local coasters on consecutive Saturdays
- First-ever public train on Yeti Trek at Santa's Village
- Ontario roller coaster completion both at parks and on the fair circuit (Go Gators exempt)
- Ate ice cream on the Magic Experience at Marineland (I had permission to finish my cone while seated before the ride started, don't shoot me please)
- Asked Great Escape's President at the park if I could ride the kiddy credit and had a free Skycoaster lap and line-skip passes tacked on to it
- Ran onto and off of Wilderness Run at Cedar Point at the end of the day last Sunday
- Still use a physical CW season pass card for Six Flags parks
- Rode everything at Epic Universe in a day (except for Yoshi because it was closed) with many rerides, plus all three shows and Toothless meet'n'greet... I was on the second Ministry dispatch of that day without staying on property!
- Unknowingly rode the Ohio State Fair Fireball three times post-accident
- S&S Drop Tower completion at all of the parks I've visited that have them (Counting one side instead of each separate tower).
- One of the last people to run (and film on) a whales carnival ride before it collapsed midride two weeks later (nobody seriously injured, not my fault, ride was scrapped)
- Explored an abandoned waterpark in the overgrown jungle and swamps of the Dominican Republic
- Visited The People's Choice in Waukegan, Illinois and rode the Roller Coaster
- My first roller coaster in Florida was a Minor Mike at some random FEC in Tampa, to which I ubered from the airport to only to find it didn't open for another five hours (manager took pity on me and turned it on early).
- Only got to ride two coasters (both new to me) in 2021 and both of them were zen rides.
- There is an entire Jolly Rancher Remix magnetic brake sitting in my basement that was given to me at Canada's Wonderland
- Uhhhhh I visit amusement parks with friends and have fun doing it!!

Nothing fancy, but I’ll always fondly remember happening to be at Energylandia on Zadra’s opening day. I don’t believe it was announced in advance- I certainly wasn’t aware of it. I had the trip planned well in advance for a wedding, and followed construction closely leading up to it. When the structure collapsed after a storm, I assumed I would miss it for sure. Still feel like my preference between Steel Vengeance and Zadra is just whichever I have ridden most recently.
And…Frantically scratching a planned CGA trip in early September ‘24 in favor of SFGADv after reading rumors of Green Lantern’s removal (on this website). Had no idea I would also be getting my first and last few Kingda Ka rides as well. That’s a 2 for 1 I’ll never forget, and a head’s up I’ll always be thankful for.

- Ridden every coaster at Nickelodeon Universe in NJ - also been to both Nickelodeon Universe locations
- Ridden both Mack Extreme Spinners
- Rode Hyperia right after it reopened to the public.
- Rode Wildcat's Revenge on opening day. It ended up being my 299th coaster.
- Ridden every remaining Arrow suspended in the world. I even made Iron Dragon my 400th coaster for that reason.
- I was one of the first people to ride Verbolten and Tempesto. Rode both days before employee previews
- Ridden every wing coaster in North America (and in the UK too).
- Finally hitting parks in Japan.
- My extensive park map collection I would consider an accomplishment as well.
I’m closing in on 100 credits, and they will be the following:
#98: Patriot’s Run in Point Pleasant
#99: Hydrus in Seaside Heights
#100: Cyclone at Coney Island
I also started my own rollercoaster + theme park TikTok in March, and in under 3 months I’m already closing in on 250 followers, I have over 225k views across my videos, and TikTok analytics say I’m outperforming 90% of creators of pages my size. I’ve experienced some awesome things in that short time like touring the construction at Great Adventure, and life has been pretty rough since getting laid off last year, so this has been a shining light in my life lately.
What an awesome hobby.

The Cyclone is really the perfect milestone credit. A shame you’re missing the 100th anniversary for your 100th credit by a year, but close enough lol
Managed to ride Batman: The Ride 60 consecutive times in about two hours at GAdv.
Was privileged to be aboard the Williams Grove Cyclone when it ripped the steel skid plate right off while passing through the skid brake approaching the station. It probably did that a lot.
Broke a rib in the back row of Backlot Stunt Coaster at KD when it plunged down that last little airtime hill and hit the trim HARD, throwing my entire body weight against the poorly designed restraint bar, which really was sitting that high because I'm 6'-4". Never rode again.
Got the wind knocked out of me by Wild One's 1985-era drop with the vicious kink in it. I was far from the only one who suffered that fate. I was 9. Rode again.
Chipped a tooth on Diamond Falls by ducking as the boat hit the water, throwing my face into the back of the seats in front of me. I was 10. Rode again.
Caught a guy's hat after it flew off his head on Anaconda's first drop. Nearly repeated that feat 30+ years later, but it was a Fireball shooter on Diamondback.
I, too, have @zachclarke 's girlfriend. But only in a Secret Santa sense.

Was on a band trip to Universal Orlando back in 2017....we were going to ride Transformers first when we got there but it was down due to technical issues. The cast members had hula hoops out front that we could play with until the ride went back up, and one of the cast members said whoever could hula for like a minute (?) would win a prize. I ended up failing miserably but one of our other group members managed to win the prize. What was it? The cast member took us over to Revenge of the Mummy. Now at first, I didn't know what was going on. I thought we had just decided to ride it first for the day, although with a half hour wait. But guess what? We were taken past the entrance, up the handicap elevator....and BOOM! Found ourselves right in the loading station, with the cast member letting us ride in the front row. We were basically boosted to the front of the thirty-minute-long line. This was the first day of the trip, mind you, so what a START! Also, mind you, this was my first ever time riding the Mummy (so I didn't get to experience the queue line that time). Who knows, we might've even been the first of us students to RIDE it that day. I still reminisce on the fact that without that person in our group who could hula hoop better than any of us, this trip wouldn't been quite as magical.
These aren't much, but...
- I have ridden every coaster Kings Dominion has ever had.
- I have ridden every coaster Busch Gardens Williamsburg has ever had.
- I have ridden all the North American Vekoma Flying Dutchmen.
- I have seen all the North American Vekoma Giant Inverted Boomerangs in person, but none were ever operating on my days in those parks.
- Of the 7 days I’ve spent at Great Adventure scattered over the last 25 years, Kingda Ka was just a huge lawn ornament for most of them. I did enjoy it on the other days.
Not sure if this counts but I drove one of the cars on KD’s Blue Ridge Tollway clean off the tracks once. This must’ve been 10 years ago and my dumb childhood friends and I wanted to see if it was possible. Turns out, if you find a sharp enough turn and steer hard enough against it, it is.
Don’t recommend it… the cars don’t have brakes so I crashed straight into a tree. Then I had to wait helplessly as team of employees came and lifted the car back onto the track — with me still sitting in it. Good times.
A few other ones:

A few other ones:
- I was on the last public train ever on Shockwave at KD.
- I (along with a few other folks on the forum) got the last ever ride on Pirate’s Flight at SFA, which was an opening day attraction at KD.
- My rarest credit is a Wacky Worm at a small amusement park in Galway, Ireland that’s so obscure it’s not even listed on RCDB (despite being a permanent amusement park ride).
