Obviously it's not a big deal what your milestone coasters are, but it is kinda fun to set up specific ones. For me #150 was Skyrush, #200 was small kiddie coaster in Northern Michigan called Black Widow, it is the oldest operating coaster in the state.
I managed to get Batwing this last summer, but Wild One wasn't operating the day I was there, it hurts to have to miss out on an ACE landmark.
Hershey is incredible, my daughter and I spent a couple days there in 2023 and had an absolute blast. It wasn't as charming or beautiful as a Knoebels or Silver Dollar City, but it still had a better vibe than your standard corporate park and it has a pretty good coaster line up.

I never really thought about riding certain coaster for the milestone numbers but maybe I will when I get closer. I'm sure I have a little more than 113 but I don't remember which rides I rode at Six Flags St. Louis, Six Flags Geauga Lake or Adventureland decades ago. I have always ridden coasters but don't want to give myself credit if I do not specifically remember. I am hoping and planning to visit somewhere at least one per month until November starting in February. If there are any other parks within 2-3 hrs driving, I will try to go there. When I went to Six Flags America, I was able to ride everything in 1 day except Batwing which was already closed. I didn't need the extra day I had planned so we drove to HersheyPark for the first time. I was so glad I did because I did not realize how great that park was.

300 is a huge goal for the year! I absolutely love to see people set goals like that!
Glad to hear you made it out to SF America before it closed. It became a must visit for us last year too.
SF Great America was my home park in the early 90's, never made it to CGA, and it's sadly looking like I never will.
Do you have a plan to get ya to 300?
Do you have a particular coaster in mind for #200, 250, and 300?

Hello everyone. I am new to this group. My resolution would be to accomplish 300 coaster credits (I am only at 113) and visit California's Great America before they close. I grew up going to SF Great America and have heard it is very similar. I am old enough to have ridden The Whizzer before they added seatbelts. I did, fortunately make it to SF America for my first visit there before they closed this summer.
